[wtb] -- rare items for "uncharted", "the last of us", "bioshock"

[Justyz123]

Hi all!

I am working on building my UNCHARTED, THE LAST OF US, and BIOSHOCK collections, and could really use your help!

I listed some items I WANT TO BUY below, but I am really looking for any super rare items from these franchises. I know for a fact that I missed a ton of items that I would love to add to my collection (and don’t currently have). So don’t hesitate to reach out if you have something special - especially signed/autographed stuff.

If you have one or more of the items below, or some other rare items you want to offer that I did not list, please feel free to post or shoot me a PM!! Again, I would love to hear from you. Thanks so much in advance!! :)

If you are referring to the giant box with the grass inside for TLOU II Presskit, I wouldn't bother. Those things fell apart the moment you opened them and most of the influencers ended up having to throw them out because of the mess they made. Even if you manage to find one intact, it will likely be destroyed on the way to you.

You probably saw my post with the TLOU2 Devkit but unfortunately I am not interested in selling. 2 other members have it but I know for a fact that they won't be open to parting with it at the moment either :)

As for Uncharted 1 Presskit. Mr. T & F is selling one, it's not "new" but it's in good condition as far as I know. Pictures here (https://bovers-games-shelf.blogspot.com/2017/05/uncharted-1-press-kit.html) Try messaging him if this is to your liking. He also has some other Uncharted stuff as well as the TLOU1 presskit. It is very difficult to find older presskits untouched.


Here is a decent priced Uncharted 2 PK (https://www.ebay.com/itm/PS3-Uncharted-2-Among-Thieves-Press-Kit-VERY-RARE-/143572993770)

Here is a listing for the ring (https://www.ebay.com/itm/ULTRA-RARE-Uncharted-Drakes-Fortune-PAX-2007-Press-Promo-Ring/184715974293?hash=item2b01ee1695:g:km8AAOSw1btgUuH h)

For post pandemic, there is one sealed on ebay for 2K with open to offers. You might try your luck with him and see if you can settle for 1.7ish. This thing increased in value ridiculously (I sold my incomplete back up copy for 1K last year) and there is a great demand for it. I think more than 30 of them sold since January. There were tens of sealed copies on ebay last year, now there is only one. I would move fast on this one.

There are also two bottles for sale on ebay. One asking 4K, one asking 550$ (https://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-PROMO-09-BIOSHOCK-2-Arcadia-Wine-Bottle-Something-In-The-Sea-Promotional/164678058871?hash=item265793c377:g:UggAAOSwTs5dQtr M) (I think because the top isn't perfectly straight). If it doesn't bother you too much, sounds like a good deal.

I know someone with an Uncharted ring (including numbered box, etc)

He's asking 2000 euro for it though.

Hey guys! Thanks so much for getting back to me.

Price is also a factor for me. I try the best I can to understand the market on these items and do my research on prior sales, other offerings, etc. I've gotten a good number of rare items thus far and really try to work with sellers to come up with prices that are fair for both parties.

I keep up on most of this stuff on eBay, but like working with forum members for saving on fees on both ends, etc. Also, as with anything, certain items on the list are a higher priority to me and some others I don't mind waiting on to track down a better priced option.

I was for sure referring to your post on the dev kit sinanspd. Was gonna mention you by name but wasn't sure if you would want that so didn't to be safe. Huge congrats on tracking that down! That's amazing!

Even though they are probably near impossible to track down, I'm gonna leave the dev kit one on there on the SUPER longshot someone eventually has one, but I really appreciate your feedback on the TLOU 2 Influencer Kit. I'll strike that one from the list.

Much appreciated on the research on these items too (thanks for lookin' out too johncorvo)! Have been keeping an eye on most of 'em. Like I mentioned before, price and prior sales is something I consider and am usually okay waiting until something is in a range I'm comfortable with. That said, I try not to be unreasonable about it (especially on rarer items). :)

Ofc :) as it is for all of us. I sent the links because they seemed in the range of past sold listings. Post Pandemic is slightly higher than usual (the used ones go for 1100-1200) so I think a sealed one would fall into around 1.6-1.7K which you might be able to negotiate

What I was trying to imply is this. They only pressed 30 of these and Sony makes it very clear that devs aren't allowed to sell them. We all got them through our connections at the studio and in order to make the deal safe and legal for them the process was slightly more complicated (i.e. to make it look like a "gift" etc.). One of the strings this comes with is a soft promise that we won't sell this for a few years. Not that anyone would be thinking about doing so but even more so, I don't think anyone would be willing to put their relationship with ND in jeopardy. Honestly it might be easier for you to try to develop a relationship with someone there, then to keep bumping the thread here :)


Good luck with your search!

Hey there. Thanks for reaching out! Actually already have that one, but thanks for offering. :D

Hi, any interest in one of these?

Hi, just off to bed so excuse no replies after this :)

A while back there was promotional run of special hand-made wooden cases for Crash Bandicoot. During that run the makers decided to make a limited run of these Uncharted cases. They are extremely rare with individual numbers - I believe we are talking maybe a dozen cases were made...certainly not any kind of manufacturing level, these were (from what I understand) hand made to order.

I don't think they are anything official (as such) but they are a nice piece and for an Uncharted fan either something you want because it's so scarce or don't want because it's not official (if that makes sense).

I'm reluctant to sell, but money talks - also, as a big fan and someone collecting rare items for these games I thought I'd let you know about it :)

I also have the Uncharted press kit signed by Bruce Straley, Ashley Johnson, Troy Baker and Neil Druckman...but that is my jewel :2cool:

[Justyz123]

Hey there! Thanks for following up! Shoot me a pm if you had any idea of price for it. Thanks! :)

[0329liuken]

The box was made by the Italian store, Showgame. Definitely not official (licensed by Sony) but it’s pretty neat.

Wow didn’t know it’s that limited. Does yours have a 3-digit number on the back? If so, may I ask what number you have?

[Justyz123]

Oh gotcha. Curious about that too. Thanks for the info Ken! :)

They are printed with 3 digits i.e. 001, 002 etc - from memory mine is 007, I may be wrong - it will be from 001 to 010, from what I can gather this may have even been exclusive to the forum because we made 10 orders...or it could be that we got the first 10 as we made a 'big' order. I ordered the Crash one at the same time - they are safely packaged up so would have to dig it out if I can't find a photo somewhere.

Thanks. I’m asking because I want to make sure they are actually “numbered” as mine is “000”, which is weird if they are actually numbered.

If I remember correctly, it was made for the release of the Lost Legacy, yet I found this posting from their Facebook page yesterday saying it’s for Uncharted NDC in Feb 2020, and gave it a 49.90 price tag in the comments. Not sure if they actually made some and had some extras for sale, or just posted it because they ran out of stuff to post lol.

So yours is super duper rare lol

Mine definitely has a number, I remember that much - interestingly we were told ours were numbered 1-10 and yours doesn't have a number!?

[johncorvo]

I have such a box, as I organized the group buy on the forum here. The Uncharted one started with 000 I believe.

[Keithjn]

I remember you started the group buy for it but from looking back on the post it started with 001 from what you said. I remember asking for 002 as I got press kits that are number 2 so it looked like I got a number 2 set lol

Either way to the person wanting to buy, if someone sells any of these sure they are not official but honeslty to a collector it is a must have

Thanks for the info, and thanks again for helping us :)

[johncorvo]

I know for sure these were the only ones made, as the group buy was quite a 'work'. All those boxes are handmade and he combined the work with two Crash boxes. Somewhere on this forum (last year or two years ago) someone told these were going for quite the money on Ebay, not sure how much though. I kept one for myself and only have a Crash box left that I could sell.
