I think Lily meant will it be actually numbered, as in, each one have an individual number on it, as the ACIII one didn't, it was just limited to a certain amount I believe xx

[Platfus]

I'm not sure, but I gotta ask. Is the Edward already in Forsaken? I think he is, but only mentioned is he?

Yep, the Halo Art of Building Worlds one is, no idea about the Halo 4 one though as I don't have it xx

Well production hasn't started on the ac4 one so I will send a very nice email asking
And also asking if first orders get lower numbers :) :spiteful:

[v1sav1s]

AC3 LE artbook is still available in NA. Not sure if it's worth the price. 20 for the standard version? Or 80 for an extra slipcase and two postcards?

[Romeo]

thats what i meant
as there halo ones are numbered arent they?


I own all of the Titan Excusive LE books. Only the Building Worlds book is numbered, actually just the certificate is itself.

You're looking at this wayyyyyyy wrong. The lithos that come in these are limited and signed by the artist. What you're paying for is signed artwork, a custom slipbox, alternate cover, and then the art book. I'm an art collector, so getting signed prints for $50 or so on top of the art book is fantastic in my eyes.

[HIPPEEDUDE]

Theres also supposedly a Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag Journal as well in Hardcover,cant find to much apart from a pre-order of it & its done by Insight Editions.

That'll probably end up like the other Art of AC book that was never released.

[LowlyAssassin]

That'll probably end up like the other Art of AC book that was never released.

Which one?
Art (r)Evolution wasn't an AC3 art book, it had art from all five games

[I_BE_WILL]

Because i'm not sure where else to put it

Black Flag 90cm x 50cm Flag (http://www.mightyape.com.au/product/Assassins-Creed-IV-Flag-90cm-x-50cm/21451282/)

Between gauntlets, flags, artbooks, figures, statues, tankards and kitchen sinks (matter of time), Assassin's Creed is starting to need an all inclusive memorabilia thread

Each journal is cased in a scuff- and fingerprint-resistant, tactile leatherette, debossed with original artwork, and features carefully curated cover art and lush, full-colour endpapers."

[Dr_Jengo]

Hardcover eh? So this is different from the Ubiworkshop one that was given out at E3?

[SwiftDeath]

That was up on Amazon for a long while now

It isn't related at all to the E3 journal in my opinion as it predates it by maybe 2 months? :scratch:

Not to mention the E3 journal is a blank journal while this one is more akin to the George Washington Journal from ACIII CE's

[Dr_Jengo]

Any pics of this?

[SwiftDeath]

Any pics of this?

No pics that I'm aware of but I wouldn't be suprised if the company that makes it insight editions or whatever it's called makes a limited version or some other AC book that's limited

Google them they do some limited art books for blizzard

[LowlyAssassin]

Description says leatherette cover with debossed logo
Which goes pretty close to describing the UbiWorkshop one
But also describes that the pages are filled with art so could be another art book or a different way of describing the same thing as the blank ( text free pages) are filled with colour images, well the same colour image on each and every page and 13gbp is roughly 20 USd

skull buckle? quite confused. what is that? I don't see any picture. belt buckle?
The bonus Skull Buckle is an exact replica of the one worn by pirate-turned- assassin Edward Kenway in the game. The Skull Buckle can be worn in a variety of creative ways ? on shirts, hats, backpacks, messenger bags, and belts - by clipping it onto an item.
So looking like either the exact same lepel pin badge as the UbiWorkshop one, or another similar item

[Dr_Jengo]

Yea was thinking it was the hardcover version of the one that Lily bought.. err decided not to pay for :P
Definitely nicer to have some form of art/content inside rather than blank pages. I'll either get the hardcover one or both depending.

The Skull belt buckle seems to be a promo for a lot of AC IV merchandise. I remember seeing it included in the McFarlane set of figures. (You need to buy a set of 4 or 5 figures)

Not a belt buckle into the case of the gauntlet
Seems like they want as many people as possible to have the lapel badges to make the assassin sympathisers easier targets for Abstergo, or so you can spot a fellow AC fan and be like
Acfan1: Yo how much did ac3 suck
Acfan2: i know right
Acfan1: Word
:hug:
Yes that's how it happens

Gaia of UbiWorkshop says that they are NOT the UbiWorkshop one
sauce (http://archives.ubiworkshop.com/groups/ubiworkshop/forum/topic/assassins-creed-black-flag-journal/#post-18300)

It is not the same. You can?t pre order Ubi Workshop edition. The only Ubi Workshop edition you can find online is the one from the E3 Press kit sold by journalists. Coming soon on Ubiworkshop.com !

And do they have any ISBN for them or not?

[LowlyAssassin]

I just checked seeing as I am home
And the isbn's are the same so they are the same book

[LowlyAssassin]

The pewter tankard has been spotted at UbiWorkshop
The question has been asked if they plan to sell the pewter tankard, coins and spyglass

They don't. They're so insane, you're not even allowed to visit their website if you live in the US.

Try it. It redirects you.

I was under the impression it was from the US ubiworkshop site?

Not the UK ubishop site

You guys are so funny
Its from the Canadian UbiWorkshop site
Http://store.UbiWorkshop.com
They have one shop
It is in the ubi headquarters in Quebec and its only open to ubi employees

Explains why the shipping is expensive

My bad. Confused with ubishop.

[LowlyAssassin]

Qaia has stated that the pewter mug that has been seen in there physical shop
Is "not available"
So its safe to assume/presume that UbiWorkshop will NOT be selling the pewter tankard, coins and coin purse and spyglass

[KnightOfTruth]

Ok, looks like I'll need to make a few employee friends, I DO have some connections. Also, slightly off topic, but do you think that the forum mods etc from the Ubisoft official forum count as "employees" in that regard?

[v1sav1s]

Still, there's a small hope for the coin purse, spyglass, flag, leather/cloth maps, etc. :beg:

Strange about the tankard. Ubisoft is usually very bloodthirsty for our wallets so wouldn't it be in their best interest to stock all the bonuses in their stores? :P

Sometimes those stores that have the Pre-Order bonuses have an agreement that the PO bonus will remain exclusive to them, so that they can boost sales.

Just like how Gamestop US usually has some kind of exclusive Pre-order bonus

[LowlyAssassin]

No idea
Why do you need to make a few contacts?
The tankard is not even for sale in the physical store
It is just a decoration piece

Strange about the tankard. Ubisoft is usually very bloodthirsty for our wallets so wouldn't it be in their best interest to stock all the bonuses in their stores? :Pas far as my understanding goes
The pre order bonuses typically are sourced and chosen by the stores and then approved by the publisher

So in this case the coin purse or spyglass would have been sourced and decided upon by the retailer and then UBisoft Czech or UBisoft Italy would say yes that's OK

But it is looking ever more like that is nit the case
With the global use of steel books and the posters

[Platfus]

We have Ubisoft Czech for consoles ( its together with Nintendo, Swuare Enix etc and called Conquest) and then Distributor for PC- Playman. These who gave us Renesance, Gift editions and teeth or purses.

You beat me to it,lol. I tried to tell one seller on fleabay Ubiworkshop will be selling them for $20. They didnt believe me,said i was just trying to rip them off,lower the price etc & then said if Ubiworkshop does sell them for $20 i will give you mine for free. So far nothing but silence from the seller since i sent them the link,dont think i going to see any freebie:lmao:

[LowlyAssassin]

So who is buying from UbiWorkshop and then selling on eBay?

[HIPPEEDUDE]

So who is buying from UbiWorkshop and then selling on eBay?

Probably quite a few. Since not many are either aware of where to look or where they may be available you will still get people trying to sell for a profit. I know of someone whos re-listed theres for $70. Admittingly first price was $150 but,there still asking 3 times the rrp & i bet theres some sucker out there who will buy it thinking its a bargain as its cheaper than they have been previously:)

Love to order one but i have two problems. First is do i order it before they run out if they are limited in supply. The second is ordering the damn thing then a week later they get something else i want & i have to pay again for shipping to me. Decisions,decisions. Be easier if i knew/know how many journals they have & if they are a limited amount

Did you ever manage to cancel the journal you bought in a moment of madness???

I managed to cancel my purchase for 152.50 is yes
I told the seller the item was not as described but the only way for me to tell eBay this was to pay for it and receive it and then ask for a refund
Which I was not willing to do

And I was going to hold off on ordering the journals as I know the flag will be released soon but i didn't want to miss out on anything else
And there flags and big obscure items don't generally sell out
People are more interested in art prints and tee shirts,

[LowlyAssassin]

I will post this in a few places so everyone who needs to sees it
The flag at comic con is a early release only
It will be available later on, on store.UbiWorkshop.com

[HIPPEEDUDE]

Million dollar question is wether the flag is the same one that was a pre-order bonus item from Mighty Ape or not:think: No point in getting Ubiworkshop version if they are the same:)

[LowlyAssassin]

Million dollar question is wether the flag is the same one that was a pre-order bonus item from Mighty Ape or not:think: No point in getting Ubiworkshop version if they are the same:)

They are not the same
99% certain
As the one that is a pre order bonus at might tape is being sold by mighty ape and is a lot smaller
But I will ask them and see what they say

But I can't see a 60$ flag being a pre order bonus along with a 30$ pewter mug

I believe the mighty ape one is the same as the one they will be selling at retail
Sized (90cm x 50cm)
Although they are charging 33.99 AUD for that so it may be that exact one or a smaller version

[LowlyAssassin]

The games not even out
And you can go and buy the season pass right now
It will include all special edition and pre order DLC
Along with single player and multiplayer DLC
At the usual 1600 map or 20 USD

:quote:According to the retailer, Black Flag's downloadable content will reveal the background of Adewale and look deeper into the events that made up the golden age of pirates. :quote:

Just saw this pretty little thing
Anyone seen it anywhere?
I've only found one supplier
And they can print your gamer Id on it too
Bit would you want to have your gamer ID on it?
(It doesn't have to be your gamer.ID
I am sure they'll print anything
As if I asked for clay kaczmarek I think they would print it and yes that is my gamer ID, so you could have Altair or Ezio or master assassin or even Black Flag or anything really)

That's really cool! It was coming though.. Kinda expected.
I'm not very good at fixing up stuff though, would have preferred a replica version which requires no assembly but oh well.. if that's the best we can get, I'll take it!

Looks like another item to add to my preorder list after all :twisted: finally have you seen the assassins creed board game on forbidden planet? Seems to be ezio based but i thought it was a strange bit of merch

Yep it was posted here a few pages back
you should check this place more often
And then there is the figures/statues thread
And the book thread
And the pre order thread
I feel like I should make a merchant thread bit that would get out of hand. Too many threads

(I wonder if Altair and brotherhood Ezio will make a guest appearance as character skins again this time as it has been possible to play as Altair for well most of the games this far (excluding acIII where you can only play as Altair after the main story is complete)

And also the uplay character skin looks lovely

Lol, PS3 G1 looks funny :D

Dang it! Now I need all those maps! I only have one. Do they have DLC codes printed right on them? The map that I have has no DLC code on it. I only have one map by the way.

[LowlyAssassin]

Castaways prize
Pride of the west Indies
Trove of mystery
Captain kenways legacy
Pirates trophy

Well I have 2 PC versions pre ordered with you and the map packs are meant to come with the game unless you have to go to a store and pick them up

[SwiftDeath]

So I can get the Pirate's Cove map off of Amazon.de?

But I have to pre-order the game too?

Can I cancel the game once I receive the pre-order box?

Are all Amazon.de Pre-order boxes the same?

Got an email from gamers boulevard about upcoming ACIV merch

http://www.gamersboulevard.com/search?orderby=position&orderway=desc&search_query=pre-order+creed&submit_search=Search

Email said it was official AC Merch but some of it looks kind of low quality

Specifically said "Pre-order: Officially Licensed Assassin?s Creed IV Black Flag Products"

Now that I think about it games boulevard is in cyprus (I think) and everything in the email said officially licensed so maybe some of it isn't?

[Platfus]

I've kinda forgot to keep my eye on AC4 since AC3 disappointed me so much. Anyone could tell me what sverything happend?

[Romeo]

News as far as memorabilia goes... gamestop managers recently received quote "pirate flags and assassins creed tattoo sleeves". I'm going to receive these myself within the next week or so and will certainly post pictures later, if they haven't already blown up on the internet by then.

Finding those GameStop manager things on eBay is going or be difficult

This is their blog by the way: http://pieces-of-eden.com/
Lots of pics from Gamescom if you are interested.

[Cosmic_Link]

Cba to go through the whole of the AC threads to see if there is an actual pic, but I spotted this on display in my local GAME store. The figure from the Buccaneer Edition.

http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i339/Cosmic_Link/Misc/IMG_1292_zpsda86a0d3.jpg (http://s1088.photobucket.com/user/Cosmic_Link/media/Misc/IMG_1292_zpsda86a0d3.jpg.html)

Really nice looking figure. :D Was quite large too, so for those hoping to import, expect a large shipping bill. :S

Unfortunately we don't get the display case with our CEs and I can't have that one no matter how much I beg and plead. XD

Also, if you want a size estimate, the display case that it is in was taller and wider than the Splinter Cell CE you can see in the back.

[SwiftDeath]

Yeah it was tempting. XD The guy had finished dealing with me and I asked if I could take a pic of the figure and he bought it over to the counter from where it was then disappeared to serve somebody else. XD If it wasn't so big, it would have been quite easy to toddle off out with it!! XD

[Thetof91]

I think there is more picture of it in the AC Figure topic :p

Also seen it in my local GameStop, have to get a talk with manager about if I can get it or buy it when they are done with it :p

[Cosmic_Link]

That may be so, but that's a 31 page thread that I don't want to read through!! XD

There seems to be some mystery about who makes and who arranges and designs and licences pre orders and promo items

I thought that a Czech bonus was licences by UBisoft Czech and UBisoft head office or other countries had nothing to do with the decision

But I may be wrong

Am i the only one that thinks it looks a little weird? I still want it though :D Maybe because it looks different to any of the other AC steelbooks so far...

But I may be wrong

Even if that were true, there are countless examples of various Ubisoft branches employing steelbooks as a promo game across multiple franchises

I personally think steelbooks as a promo item are a generally accepted method of Ubisofts and it's filtered down to all major divisions/regions

At some point I should start tracking steelbook releases by publisher and by region for predictive purposes

[Platfus]

As its PC it should be Playman's thing not Ubisoft Czech (conquest entertaiment)
the deal is: gameleader chooses pre order bonuses so idk...

[LowlyAssassin]

Anybody else notice the union flag (British flag) hanging on the front of the pirate ship and the pirate flag is NOT the ac flag or Blackbeard's flag

I now wish my name was killmegjoy :haha: im actually suprised to find a few other flask collectors. Im thinking a few will turn up on ebay though, like the connor ACIII coin released last year in the little cardboard case

Sorry Meg
I'm not a"flask collector" but ac pre order collector
And given that who ever picks up the gtav
Has to make a conscious choice tonpre order ac4 in order to get the flask, I can see a lot of people saying no I already have it are ordered, or no I don't want to pre order that game, or worse, yes I will I would love a new flask or I can always give it away as a Christmas present

So I don't see a lot turning up anywhere
although I know how to get them for "free" but I don't live in Canada :(

And the launch coins where given put for simply turning up to buy the game you wanted to buy, not buy ac3 and pre order cod7
And remember a pre order means putting another 5 cad down as payment and a lot of people will be convinced they have to then pay for the entire game, as lots of gamers aren't too bright so they may stick prices on eBay of 50 cad

[killjoymeg]

Good point, i suppose i can just live in hope that people know how much AC collectors will pay, and preorder the game again :beg:. I didnt know that about the coin, i thought it was given to only the first few people in shop on its launch date. I must be confusing it with another item/series

The coin
Was limited
And given out
To the first few people in the shop

As you expected

This flask is different

That is what I was trying to explain

[killjoymeg]

my mistake, i should have read what you put again :banghead:

Even though its kinda the wrong place i was also wondering if anyone has heard anything about the replica connor hidden blade, since the AC IV one is being released in a few days

[Romeo]

I need that! I collect flasks.

There are probably at least 5 of us after these flasks

Killmegjoy
Vikingo82
Eaglestrike

Is there 1? Haven't heard of a hidden blade for Connor. His tomahawk was more iconic I guess. They made replicas of those..

[LowlyAssassin]

What am I, invisible? :hammer:

Yes
:rotf:
Because you never share any news with me
:hug:
Plus one Romeo to the list

There was a prototype at comic con/E3/pax (i forget which) along with the assassins creed figures by mcfarlane. I'll post the pic if i can find it again

Hmm.. I always assumed that there was only one.. And that was the AC IV on But looking at the pic again, it does look different and similar to the hidden blade shown in Connor's artwork.

Nice I would like a collection of all the different Assassin's hidden blades

Picture for the collectors.
Gamestop was very strict with the flask

Wonder what's to be revealed later today..

[LowlyAssassin]

Are they playing cards?
And is that an IP address or nap co ordinates?
I never understand how to use map co ordinates
And the IP address is from north korea

[LeX]

I think the site is up now, but asking for password or something like that.. only Dan can access it :(
I'm getting intrigued

[LowlyAssassin]

Oh I missed the 4 at the end
Also its from the UK "interesting"

[MortalMonday]

Did my Friday night just get interesting?

[Dr_Jengo]

Did my Friday night just get interesting?

It sure did!

Looks like only 1 playing card and Dan Bull stated it was an IP address. I doubt he was the only one who got it though.. Will be interesting to see what it is..:banana:

If UBisoft are setting up a north Korean web address just for one UK based video game artist/ entertainer then they have.way too much money
As there are a lot of people who make a name and living from UBisoft games and a fair few that make a name out of the ac franchise
So there'll probably be 52 ace of spades :rotf:

wait, so this event is for those UK watch members???

[LowlyAssassin]

wait, so this event is for those UK watch members???

I am a member of the watch and I have no letter in the post about it
Also
:what: where did you get that idea from

And I was wondering how this guy gets a letter from UBisoft and is surprised about it
I mean UBisoft must have gotten his address some how so he must have consented to receive something from them which involved giving them his address
I really don't get people who act all like, " I was not expecting something from UBisoft"

Edit
I had a missed call a couple weeks back and I don't know who it was
Imagine if it was from UBisoft hahaha that'd be funny

[LowlyAssassin]

its sort of serious
At the strike of midnight on Friday the 4th October ONE SHIP will be the ultimate winner:

Fight ferociously and strategically, battle rival ships and steal their gold to climb the Battle List to the very top.

Each crew member of the winning ship sails into the sunset with?

A Black Chest Collectors Edition on their chosen platform
An Assassin's Creed hoody.
But best of all they win a truly unique prize - a super exclusive signed, numbered Vic Lee screen print - inscribed with the victorious vessel?s name and the names of the six souls who crewed her!
The crews of the three Battle List runner up ships who've survived numerous battles and narrowly missing the top spot leave with?

A super exclusive signed and numbered Vic Lee screen print
A cool Assassin's Creed T-shirt
i can see how a name like
queen annes revenge
aquila
jackdaw
juno
eagle
altair
would have been preferable now

[LeX]

Yeah, serious prize especially the exclsuive signed print

[LowlyAssassin]

Yeah, serious price especially the exclsuive signed print

take a look at the daily prizes

Every gentlemen of fortune is ultimately in it for themselves... Each day the individual player who plunders the most gold will win some Assassin's booty:

Todays 1st place prize is an AC4 Edward Conway figurine.

Two runners up win an Assassin's Creed T-shirt, skull candle and keyring.

Check your rank on the leaderboard and strive to be the richest pirate each day!
rather have the runners up prize tbh

I think our name still fits, it's just not as straight forward as those.

Also has anyone looked at all the new AC IV merch on forbidden planet? hats, scarfs, hoods, cosplay items etc
