ChengizVlad09 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 (edited) Release date: March of 2008 Origin Info: GTA IV Grenade It could be said that Rockstar Games is well known for having a style when it comes to promoting their games, and that always goes one step further when the new Grand Theft Auto is released. You can certainly expect some cool treats in the form of some bag of surprises. Well, at least if you are somewhat known and recognized as a Rockstar games and Grand Theft Auto promoter and devoted enthusiast who continues to keep producing quality content in regards to the given matter. GTA IV was no exception, and during its promotion right after its release, Rockstar sent out this one as a " Hidden Package #5 " to various fansites as a way to promote the game itself, but of course as well as to put smile on the faces of the franchise devoted admirers and fans. * To our current knowledge there were couple of these promotional 'events' where Rockstar was sending out the various goodies - or let's just called them what they really are - " Hidden Package " goodies and swag , and GTA IV Hand Grenade was part of the " Hidden Package #5 ", received alongside with other numerous items. Numerically, it is highly unlikely that there were actually hundred of them, but our knowledge reaches up to six of them, with each containing different promotional material. Known hidden packages promotional packages: #1,2,3,4,5,6,7. Status and Availability: Considering it was given only to a handful of people and is specifically targeted at mentioned fansites, even though they could be numerous, this one could be regarded as Extremely Rare specimen. The very occasion itself also testify to that, since there was no retail availability for this one or it was ever mentioned that any additional copies of this particular item has ever been a part of some other later giveaway, unlike some other items from the " Hidden Package " items. Even though, number of units is unknown, it could be easily assumed it is in hundreds - and that being the worst case scenario. Contents: GTA IV Hand Grenade Other Items: Hidden Package#5 Liberty City Police Department T-shirt 10 GTA IV stickers: Grand Theft Auto IV logo LC Police Department Swingers Burger Shot TW@ Internet Cafe Pißwasser Niko standing putting on a glove Lola sucking on a lollipop Man on a mobile holding a gun Man with Sniper rifle Rating: Extremely Rare Price: Unknown Trivia: This one is actually a real life hand grenade that has been deactivated. How cool is that? Turns out, this one was also a part of the Hidden Package #7, received along side with GTA IV Pool Stick. Notes* Currently we have no information has anyone received any of the Hidden Packages here at GTAForums. If you might be reading this and you are in possession of one of these, be sure to let us know! Bombs Away!

ChengizVlad09 Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) It can be assumed that Rockstar initially intended these to be sold at RWH, which would explain the quantity. Could it be hat they changed their minds and decided to cut the production and send only couple of them to the fansites? Amazing view at the pic above in any case, lol. @Bigturbo84 I think you need to make at least 10 comments before you can send a private msg, don't know why is that. shrug emoji Edited April 11, 2019 by ChengizVlad09 UltraGizmo64 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/899580-gtaiv-hand-grenade/?do=findComment&comment=1070706336 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like they might have thought it 2asnt good for publicity releasing so many of these. I think they thought there might have been some liability or maybe a PR disaster if someone used them for unintended purposes. Just a guess though. 49 minutes ago, ChengizVlad09 said: ChengizVlad09 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/899580-gtaiv-hand-grenade/?do=findComment&comment=1070706419 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigturbo84 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I kept 12 of the best ones for myself. The rest were destroyed for scrap metal. I am not selling them I've had numerous people contact me to try and buy them. The only thing I would even consider is trading for pokemon related items and even then I just like knowing that I offered them at a fair price in the beginning and people complained. So it was easier to throw them into a scrap metal shredder.
