Hello to everyone first of all,

Few of you might already know me as I did some interactions with them either through casual talk or trading. For those of you who do not know me, as the title suggest, I am solely a collector of Assassin's Creed Memorabilia.

I live in Malta, a small island in the middle of the Mediterranean sea beneath Sicily, resident to a few approximately 450,000 people with me being the most crazy AC collector of them all.

I have been a huge fan of the series from its first game launch back in 2007, but believe it or not I never knew that memorabilia where available. The discovery of these so called memorabilia happened once upon a time when I was on a 1 month long elective program in Glasgow for my University course in the Summer of 2013, when I saw the Connor Rise Statue displayed at a store. That was literally a moment of illumination and there happened the beginning of my journey.

From then on wards I started my way to collecting as many memorabilia as possible for this amazing franchise. I was already 6 years late and I wanted to make up for it. 1 and a half years later and this is the result:

During that 1 and a half year period I have been out of the collecting game for 3 months due to the collection causing a huge burden on my relationship which always comes first. During that time the upgrades to my collection was minimal and consisted of only a few things which went unnoticed xD. Eventually this whole crazy collection idea sank into my better half's mind and so I resumed.

My most precious and beloved possessions until know:
-Crouching Altair Figure
-Ezio Deluxe Edition Figurine by Attakaus 138/200 (with a production error making it unique as the certificate which came along with it is written as 183 and not 138)
-McFarlane Edward Kenway Cold Cast Statue both painted (559/950) and artist proof (still not known as piece is being kept by a friend of mine in the USA)
-Connor Premium Statue
-"Revelations" by Craig Mullins 324/500 given to the developers of the game

Here a few more pics of my collection:

My wish is to be able to come into possession of all the memorabilia available of all Assassin's Creed and maybe some day reach the level of some of the collector's here on this forum. By all means feel free to send me and info if you are willing to sell an item which I do not currently own "A want to buy thread is soon on its way". I am mainly interested in figurines, lithos, collectors editions and press kits. Basically anything xD.

All that remains is to thank all of you for making such an awesome forum.

Some finishing points.
-Feel free to add me as a friend
-Feel free to contact me for casual talking and for trading
-Would really appreciate your help (any help) in expanding my collection
-Remember "Nothing is true. Everything is permitted"

Thanks a lot Vinny and Knight. Thank you for your complements. There is still a long way to go but with time, help from you all (and money ;P) I will reach my goal =D.

That crate and rope is all thanks to the great seller here on the forum Merch. Awesome guy and great stuff for sale :). There are also others which I will list and thank in a short while.

Tomorrow I will add the want to buy list to get this show on the road started :).

Thank you all for the compliments Death Hound, Lowly Assassin and Lex. I have seen all you collections and all are impressive as well.

@Lowly assassin - Yes, as Lex said that is the litho given to devs. It is also quite rare to come around. In my year of research I have only seen one :) and it was the one I bought xD

Hi and welcome.

Loving your collection as well. Can anyone shed some light on the connor premium statue? I seemed to have missed this one...

I am really happy that you all like my display...I was uncertain about it for some time and to this day I am still deciding if I change it to a wall unit display so as to preserve the statues better =D.

Regarding the Connor Premium Staue, when I was in contact with purearts this is what they told me when I asked them if they were numbered

"We would like to confirm that this product was not meant to be sold when designed. It was supposed to be given to the directors and other VIPs within Ubisoft and we recently decided to share the several pieces left with our fans. For this reason, there is no certificate in the box."

They are a beautiful statue and what they offer is one coloured just like mine and one in bronze. The difference in between the two apart from the colour is the fact that in the bronze statue Connor is depicted as being angrier and more aggressive as his mouth is open and he seems as if he is shouting. And one last thing they are massive xD They cost 350Euros a piece and shipping to Malta is 180 Euros. They are very friendly people and will help you in certain ways to make the custom charges more just :)
