Rumored edition size of only 1,000 pieces. No idea if this is true though.

Right now it seems like it's too early to tell much of anything.
Looks like it will be an Ubistore exclusive, but that's about all we know at the moment, I believe. It's not up on the USA version of the Ubistore, and reports are that it's not on the the Euro version either. So it's tough to tell much right now. Maybe tomorrow we'll get more info...

This is 100% a true thing. In Germany they accidentally put up information about it on the offical game site. But it was removed after a few minutes. I manged to get a screenshot and a bigger picture from the promo art:

800 bucks?!?!?!?! Why on Earth would I get that when I can get literally the same statue, slightly smaller of course, for 160?????

Viridius
06-12-2017, 09:25 PM
yep two versions as codreanu predicted. Legendary version is AUD $1249 (free shipping!) whilst the case version is AUD $249.

Case version has a smaller statue etc and not numbered.

Overpriced to death. Genuinely.
Why do they even TRY?
It doesn't even include all of the other stuff! What the hell.
For those who're curious about the differences, took a screenshot of the store;
(If it's bad English, I'm sorry, for some reason my country seems to set language to french automatically -.-' so chrome automatically translates it to English. I'm too lazy to figure out how to fix this.)

i dont consider this a normal CE.

Just like the Killzone Thunderjaw, this is a premium statue bundled with game.

The game even ships seperate, probably not even space in the box...


The only thing i hate is now i miss out on the lithographs.

Yup, only 200 released in NA apparently -- Ubishop price of $799.99 (USD)... ugh, too rich for my blood. Limited or not, I'm not THAT big of an AC fan.

Coming out to $1150 Canadian with taxes included. I don't know if I can pull the trigger on this. Statue looks cool and all, but that's a hefty price for an unknown character and game that may not be received well.

Anyone here getting it?

OniRyo
06-12-2017, 11:02 PM
Do mind this comes with a 28 inch statue, the statues around that size usually cost a lot (resin) so 500-550 dollar or even more for the statue alone i would understand, but the statue doesn't seem that really great quality if i have to be honest (the Prestige Edition of Dark Souls 3 for example came with a 15 inch resin statue which costed me 400 euros) to give a bit of understanding for the high price i guess.

yes, you'll get 20% off with 100 points and you get a shit load of points (800 or so) for buying it, meaning you can get 20% off of your next 8 orders.

Wow, it sold out in the NA store pretty fast. I guess it makes sense considering they were only releasing 200 copies here. Decided to hold off buying this once the 20% discount didn't work. Just can't justify paying $1150 CDN for this.

Sucks though, I had the premium variation of all AC statues released so far and this will break the streak :(

Hopefully I can hunt for this on Ebay or something in the future when I get more disposable income lol.

Yeah, this was the wrong week to be gone on hiking trip. Argh! I know lots of people think it's stupid to Spend $800 but I agree with sentiment that for PREMIUM statue, you typically do pay in that neighborhood. I have Connor Premium from Pure Arts which cost me big time. I Also have Ezio's Fury, Ezio from Attakus (one of only 20) and Edward from McFarlane. Edward cost less because it was made in USA and I got it for $250-ish but Edward is not quite on par with the Purearts Connor Premium or Ezio's Fury or Attakus quality which are real gems worth $1,000+ on open market these days.

So would I have paid $800 for Legendary Bayak even before meeting him in the game? Yup I would but too bad for my timing that now I am iced out of the preorders. Oh well. Anyone in NA have buyer's remourse about the price tag on their preorder of Legendary, let me know and I'll relieve it for you!

Cheers to ALL!

Change "would have" to did. Anyone else like me crazy enough to spend this much (better than the $2-$3k people are listing these for on eBay already) and get the premium statue, UBI put a few units back up on the Uplay store today at least for the USA webpage. There are 2 PS4 units left and some PC units, but the XBOX is still showing sold out.

Hope this heads up helps someone else out.

I am curious whether anyone else on the forum from the USA ordered the Legendary Edition? I originally bought Dawn of Creed edition this past weekend when legendary was sold out (I was on hiking trip past two weeks and missed original release). I had been watching the UBI site this week and yesterday a few additional legendary units popped up as available to US UBI customers (see my previous heads up post yesterday).

Anyway because I collect the premium statues whenever I can get or afford them, I did buy the legendary edition and was pleased I avoided the insane premiums that Ebay people are trying to charge. Although my price was $799, I noticed there was a 10% tax imposed on the legendary edition that was not imposed on the Dawn Edition I had ordered just a few days before from the same site with the same purchase and delivery information. I am not sure why the Legendary Edition is subject to this "VAT or Value added Tax" and not the Dawn edition (is it a price threshold on imports that triggers it?) I do have sales tax in my State for local purchases but again why would UBI charge it for one and not the other? I doubt they would collect my local sales tax all the way from Montreal.

Did anyone else have the 10% tax put on their legendary order (or any other edition?)

Thanks JC

Yeah, that's weird. Customs/duty fees are usually collected at the door from the customer during delivery. Maybe Ubi is just charging it in advance so you won't have to pay it afterwards.

I've bought some steelbooks from Amazon.Uk and Amazon.de recently, and do have to pay an import fee deposit that is added to the order total. So maybe this is similar.

Either way, at least you're only paying 10% lol. We have to pay 13% on any purchase from the ubisoft store, big or small.

Again... At least I'm not held hostage on eBay by those wanting to double or triple their money (sickening) so I'm very happy with that. RE 13% that's the "sales tax" you guys in Canada pay on everything?

BTW I have a theory that this Legendary Bayek Statue is done by Pure Arts who did the Connor Premium statue. I emailed my contact there who declined to comment as UBI being their customer he is not at liberty to answer. But the scale, construction and art from what I can see in the YouTube unboxings remind me very much of my Connor Purearts Premium.

Yeah, sales tax exists throughout Canada, but the rate differs province to province. Ontario (where I'm from) has a 13% tax rate on all products.

I definitely agree that it's done by pure arts. The style looks very similar to Connor the last breath. I see a strong resemblance to the Edward Kenway black chest edition statue as well...

Plus, if it was a specialty manufacturer (triforce etc), I'm sure Ubi would've advertised it on the pre-order since that might be considered an extra selling point for some collectors.

Yes, read above in thread. The $800 is for a massive premium Bayek/Senu statue on par with the Connor Pure Arts Premium statue of similar cost and value. Anyone collecting these premium statues would consider paying that. I did for that reason and count myself fortunate I secured one of the 200 US units from UBI direct vs. being forced to deal with the Ebay people looking to turn them for double or triple that much (now that in my opinion is friggin crazy).

For the record, my wife thinks I'm friggin crazy for spending this kind of money on these CE memorabilia items. But these few games (especially the early Creed games) are something special that I shared with my kids and the figures are a memento for me of those fun experiences so I choose to spend too much on these trinkets rather than other toys.

That said I totally get the budget thing and 15 years ago when I was first gaming I never would have dreamed of spending $800 on a game statue and would have thought anyone doing that crazy so I get it (as a matter of fact, some of my buddies spending hundreds on baseball cards was something I couldn't wrap my head around but now I get it). Now I am fortunate enough to have some extra $$ to spend on fun stuff like this but also respect and appreciate when the budget isn't there that this is not possible and may not be at some point in the future for me either.

Anyway, cheers and enjoy the new Creed game.... I have hopes it will restore the franchise back to the luster of Creed 1 through Black Flag.

I am glad you have hopes but I must persoanlly admit I have been down on this franchise since III. Brotherhood was the last great AC game and Black Flag was the last good one (I did not play Syndicate becasue I was so burnt out from forcing my way through Rogue and then Unity that I could not bring myself to play it).

I hope you are right and I hope the franchise's return does well and the game is innovative... I personally have not seen anything yet to make me think this will be a game changer for AC but I do hope i am wrong about that.

I agree about Unity and Syndicate (I didn't even try Rogue because it was PS3 only). Black Flag to me wasn't on par with the AC backstory compared to the Ezio & Altair games but I was totally about the pirate fantasy and being able to sail around the open world and do awesome sea battles in the Jackdaw. My son and I learned all the Shanty songs and even dressed up as Edward and Blackbeard last Halloween (we still play the game - waitin' for the day we get our pay!).

My hopes about Origins are that it's the same team that built Black Flag and they've been working on this since that game was released. So let's hope it was time well spent!

I hope you are right and I hope the franchise's return does well and the game is innovative... I personally have not seen anything yet to make me think this will be a game changer for AC but I do hope i am wrong about that.

You should play Syndicate. It is fantastic. One of the best AC games, in my opinion.

I'm very worried about the game after seeing someone connected to the game saying that it's far more horizontal and less vertical than the other games. That's one of the big reasons why I hated AC3.

After seeing it at E3 too I'm not sure what to make of it.

It could be a great game or it could feel like a generic action adventure game with the AC name. (Especially as it looks like the modern day stuff is gone.)

Yeah, sales tax exists throughout Canada, but the rate differs province to province. Ontario (where I'm from) has a 13% tax rate on all products.

I definitely agree that it's done by pure arts. The style looks very similar to Connor the last breath. I see a strong resemblance to the Edward Kenway black chest edition statue as well...

Plus, if it was a specialty manufacturer (triforce etc), I'm sure Ubi would've advertised it on the pre-order since that might be considered an extra selling point for some collectors.

It is Pure Arts. Haven't received it yet but eBay listing shows bottom of stand and Purearts stamp is next to UBI collectibles. I figured that was the case but this confirms it, as I said, reminds me of the Connor Premium by Pure Arts.

Nice to get the confirmation. Pure Arts is solid, and their bigger pieces look amazing.

I wonder if we'll see this statue pop up on their website like the Connor one did.

Just got a decent tax return and I can make the purchase, but now all the preorders are sold out, even for PC lol.

Anyone here who pre-ordered and wants to change their mind, hit me up :)

Might want to keep checking UBI website daily. I was out on a hiking trip the week it released and it was sold out by the time I was back. I was already dreading dealing with the crazy eBay prices but I kept checking the UBI site each day and within a week or so, there were some additional units made available on the US UBI site.

I was able to preorder one at that point and gave a heads up here on the forum when that happened so anyone else could jump in. Prior to that, the UBI support had told me hands down they were all completely sold out and that just goes to prove the "Nothing is True" part of the creed right? Who knows how their presale works and when some more additional units might pop up on the site. Hope it works for you too!

Can anyone who has this edition comment on the quality of the lithographs?

I did not buy it as i am not into statues, but love artwork. So i want to know if it is worth to purchase.

Well... I would pay the extra $650 for the big statue but I'd have to really like lithos to pay that much extra for the art. Anyway if you can get them cheaper on eBay or somewhere, I think they are very nicely done on heavy cardstock and seem very high quality. Here is a picture of the four I received but don't think the picture does it justice...

Hope it helps and let me know if you have other Q's.
