I find that Bethesda did it right. Make a simply put badaz give a way. That pip boy is sick, and the very notion of preorder is to get something in short supply that will truly be collectible, authentic, that even if homemade will never be official. Like a energy sword lamp, made to scale, or a plasma grenade that lights when you pick it up…my examples are boo boo, but I am sure the idea has been made. Make something unique enough and I would preorder for 2020. Collectors appreciate something that is truly limited, and not simply lab led that for that “feel good” feeling. The statue is cool, but not very limited right?
As long as the preorder bonus doesn’t give you something otherwise inaccessible in game, I don’t care.
Even if a specially numbered poster of shirt with cert. of authenticity, you get the idea…
