Hi all,

My name is Daniel and I have a small problem with video game steelbooks. :D

Anyways, I've only recently started seriously collecting video game steelbooks as of summer 2011. My preference is for G2 steelbooks but I fell off the bandwagon a little and started collecting G1 as well. At first it was just PS3 and Xbox 360 G1's but I've got about a dozen PC and PS2 ones as well. My total steelbook collection is somewhere around 150 - 160 steels or so

One of the aspects of steelbook hunting that I like so much is the principle of region exclusivity. I like having something that was only released in some country on the other side of the world. The other main thing I find so addicting about steelbooks is how pretty they can be compared to other forms of special VG editions. For example, the newly released Futureshop exclusive Borderlands 2 steelbook is among my favorites. I feel it really captures the essence of the game.

A little more about me and VG's:

First VG that really hooked me was Ocarina of time. It had such depth to it and the open world was awesome. After that, it was GTA III which pretty much solidified the fact that I would be hooked on VG's for a long, long time. I also played more Pokemon as a kid than could possibly be healthy. To round it out, my older brother turned me on to Baldur's Gate when I was younger and if you've never played it, I highly recommend it as it still plays well today.

My Username:

Since I mentioned Baldur's Gate, I feel I should explain my user name a little as it originated as my characters name in Baldur's Gate. Lord SwiftDeath to be precise, incredibly corny I know but still satisfying to hear as you hack your way across the sword coast. The ironic thing was I had no idea the story behind the game when I created that name but it ended up fitting pretty well I think. It started as just a random name but now I feel it has two meanings. Originally, it just meant that the player was the bringer of death as was the character in BG. I mean you literally kill like 99% of all beings that you run into whether you're good/neutral/bad (and could kill most of the other 1% if you were so inclined). Now I feel it still means that but it also represents the fact that VG's can be very unforgiving. Just as you can swiftly bring death to those arrayed against you so can death be brought swiftly to your feet (In VG's of course...). Basically it was a small realization that came to me when I played BG, in the course of any battle/fight a single mistake could end up killing your entire party and this sentiment should be true in any well balanced VG, although recent VG's do seem to be far more forgiving.

Now that I've rambled on incoherently about myself for a while I just want to say that this website is awesome, especially in how worldwide it is. There are a lot of US VG collectors so it is always nice to see and talk to others around the globe.

Hope to see you all on the boards,

SwiftDeath

Also got some stuff in today

AC III CE Guide from Best Buy
http://i1055.photobucket.com/albums/s517/Jebus900/CE%20Guides/IMG_0866.jpg
Came with the nice numbered lithograph :)
Thanks to Strizay for letting me know Best buy price matches with amazon. Got it for $22 :D

French AC Revelations Steel & European Prototype steel
http://i1055.photobucket.com/albums/s517/Jebus900/IMG_0860.jpg
These took 5 weeks to get to me because package was returned to sender :(
Seller was good about it though

Pre-order bonus art books for PoP: Warrior Within & AC
http://i1055.photobucket.com/albums/s517/Jebus900/IMG_0865.jpg
Can't believe I didn't already have that AC one yet, although it could just be buried somewhere in my house :scratch:

And finally I bought an AC Brotherhood harlequin jack in the box off of ebay for $11 shipped, didn't expect to get all of the original packaging too :D
http://i1055.photobucket.com/albums/s517/Jebus900/IMG_0859.jpg
Of course I want all my AC editions in PS3 so I'm not sure what to do with this quite yet...

11-29-2012, 04:13 AM

i like your batman steelbook collection and the prince of persia one the best...the metalpaks can suck it..:D..hahahaha..i'm still upset that the NTSC mass effect 3 collectors edition had a metalpak..while PAL got steelbook.

Oh man I share your pain

I am still after a ME 3 CE steelbook for xbox

I don't really want to pay 30 pounds for that steel especially when I already have all the other parts of the CE

Opening that CE and seeing it was a metal pak made me quite irate......

Or in laymens terms I was pissed

11-29-2012, 09:28 AM

Hey Daniel, hadn't see your thread!

Great collection you have and a... lot of steelbooks. Conrats man! :D

I myself have around 50 bd movie steels, but not so many video games related.

A little jealous for the latest AC updates, I don't have this AC Litho (got my guide from amazon, couldn't from best buy) or the mini AC Artbook!

Keep it up man!

Awesome collection. Makes me wanna start collecting Steelbooks.

SwiftDeath

11-29-2012, 09:35 PM

@ tonyBSG

Thanks for the warm words.

Now blu ray steel collecting must take real strength of will as there must be 100's of those bad boys and at least a dozen holy grails :)

Yep I love the AC litho....although it is numbered 14882 so not exactly that limited

The AC mini art book was a pre-order bonus I believe, so I should have one somewhere as my Assassin's Creed Limited Edition was bought on release day but bugger all if I could find it :scratch:

Also I love battlestar galactica as well :D

Gotta love the look of those centurions

@ MortalMonday

Thanks, the real trick with steel collecting is trying to get them all for fair prices which is like impossible :rotf:

I hope to one day have some of the grails in my collection :D

I saw you got the French Hitman steel

That one is a true beauty and shows the potential of steels well imo

Now another little update

Today's Haul

Duke Nukem Forever Balls of Steel Edition & CE Guide
http://i1055.photobucket.com/albums/s517/Jebus900/IMG_0869.jpg
Got this because it was pretty cheap, not necessarily a great deal because it's not worth much but still a cool CE, terrible game though

Found this cozy in the CE
http://i1055.photobucket.com/albums/s517/Jebus900/IMG_0875.jpg
Took me the longest time to realize it wasn't actually part of the CE and was put in it by mistake by the person who sold it to me, first time I got a CE that was more complete than it should be :haha:

Man I do not want to admit how long I spent trying to get the box to close properly with the extra cozy in there. I was playing CE tetris

And then got this gem for around 14 USD shipped which makes me a happy camper
http://i1055.photobucket.com/albums/s517/Jebus900/IMG_0872.jpg
And yes it clearly does have the coin ;)

MortalMonday

11-29-2012, 09:52 PM

That coin alone is worth like $50. You got a nice deal.

SwiftDeath

11-29-2012, 09:55 PM

I am terrified I am going to lose it though LOL

No wonder it's rare, there's no place in the CE that can hold it effectively :rotf:

SwiftDeath

11-29-2012, 09:58 PM

Your harlequin looks broken to me he should stand higher then that

Yes I think the internal spring has weakened a little

I'm pretty sure they should pop out with a little more zest than my one does

Still I consider it a pretty good deal nonetheless

LowlyAssassin

11-29-2012, 10:01 PM

How much was it?
I think I should take mine out of the box and open the lid to rest the springs

SwiftDeath

11-29-2012, 10:21 PM

How much was it?
I think I should take mine out of the box and open the lid to rest the springs

I got it for 11 USD shipped which wasn't bad as I didn't expect to get all the original packaging as well

I'll probably try to get a really nice copy of the Doctor jack in the box when I do get it and just have the harlequin one for decoration :D

LowlyAssassin

11-29-2012, 10:48 PM

That's a good deal I agree
Mine was free XD

SwiftDeath

11-29-2012, 10:51 PM

That's a good deal I agree
Mine was free XD

That's a much better deal than mine :D

Did you have to pay for shipping as it's quite a big jack in the box?

Also you might be right about leaving it open to rest the springs a bit although I think mines already been put out to pasture if you know what I mean

LowlyAssassin

11-29-2012, 10:55 PM

Free shipping
Totally free
Which is nice
No customs either to the UK
Just had to find the game and box but picked one up for 3 GBP right us edition too

SwiftDeath

11-29-2012, 10:56 PM

Wow that's pretty awesome

I'll have to take a look in your AC collection as I know it's one of the big ones :)

LowlyAssassin

11-29-2012, 10:59 PM

I thought i t was one of the biggest at one point but now I don't think it is
I am pondering getting the ac anthology

oh come on now your sheer collection of AC III pre-order bonuses is more impressive than most people's entire AC collections.

Btw i saw platfus's update and those czech journals look awesome, can't wait to see what's in that czech AC brotherhood preorder box :)

An old pic of my BSG stuff:

http://i541.photobucket.com/albums/gg362/tonypapadovic/DVD%20Collection/TV%20Related/Battlestar%20Galactica/DSCN4611.jpg

Since then I got various stuff, another signed soundtrack from Bear McCreary, etc.

BD Steelbooks are not so popular in the US, I don't now why. In Canada on the other hand, there is a big market for them.

Here in Europe, every single country releases some, UK and Germany alone have hundrends of them.

I have many rather rare ones, that are oop and oos but I don't think I have a "holy grail" :(. But I collect the ones that I really like for movies I like!

Yeah, this ac artbook pops up at ebay now and then, I'll buy it some time, and I think i saw that litho as well. It's very beatiful, regardless its rarity.

Very cool

I actually am a big movie and huge tv show nut as well so it would be bad for my health if I tried to collect movie stuff too

I've seen pics of blu ray steel collections that must top at least 500 seperate steels. :nosleep:

For some odd reason retailers don't release many US blu ray steels but there are a ton of collectors in the states. I've been on other forums for VG steels before and they tend to be subforums of movie steels because there are so many movie steel collectors worldwide.

I already have copies of the steels in the 2nd pic so I'll be selling those if anyone is interested

Got in some guides as well, for real cheap!

Nice pickups there! More steelies :beer::beer:

Very cool

I actually am a big movie and huge tv show nut as well so it would be bad for my health if I tried to collect movie stuff too

I first started collecting movies and tv shows, and then i jumped to vg collecting! It is an expensive hobby, not the most expensive though. As I said though, I don't buy everything, just the things (movies/tvshows/game franchises)I like.

I've seen pics of blu ray steel collections that must top at least 500 seperate steels. :nosleep:

For some odd reason retailers don't release many US blu ray steels but there are a ton of collectors in the states. I've been on other forums for VG steels before and they tend to be subforums of movie steels because there are so many movie steel collectors worldwide.

Yes I know, I visit the big related forums (bluray.com hdninja etc) but not post too much there and I was a regular in another one for movie collector's.

@ tonybsg

Yep that's what so difficult for me. I can rarely pick and choose what I want as sometimes it's the artwork on the steel itself and not even the game that makes me want it.

Self-control when collecting is always helpful but it tends to be something I lack

For instance, one of my favorite steels is Homefront.

The steel was only released in a PC edition to my knowledge and if I didn't find it cheap, I may never have got it. Game wasn't that great either but steel is beautiful.

So now I usually just try to get all steels I can if I can find them for a reasonable price

And a single steel came in today as well :D

i believe that resident evil 5 one to be very rare?

It is and it isn't :shrug:

It was only available in the RE 5 CE that was sold in Hong Kong.

So while it is quite hard to find, I don't actually think it is worth all that much.

More than a common steelbook of course but I don't think it would even touch grail territory

Got 2 things in today, one is a steel which I love and the other caught my eye so I bought it :D

http://i1055.photobucket.com/albums/s517/Jebus900/Recent%20Purchases/IMG_1035.jpg

The soul calibur 4 steel came with this strange paper holder labeled "Arcadia Version Extra Card". I have no idea what it is and whether or not it was supposed to come with the steel originally as it was a preorder bonus. I'm pretty sure it has a card in it.

Both actually

Basically the litho is exclusive to Best Buy Assassin's Creed Guides

Both the regular and collector's edition have it, I believe

Yes I quite like it but it's rather common really as there are still a ton of AC III guides sitting on shelves in Best Buys around the country.

It is generally numbered. Mine is 14882 so not that limited. I would estimate there are at least 30,000 of these lithos as there are about 1000 best buy stores and each store seems to have gotten about 30 guides.

If anything it would be more than 30000

Thanks to Yoszek for the AC & Splinter Cell Steel :thumb:

Thanks :)

The AC steel is quite beautiful. Ezio on the front, Altair on the back. I believe the inside art is of Ezio as well?

Really glad I was patient on getting this one as I got it for a good price :D

The Splinter cell steel is quite good-looking as well but the FS Halo 4 is gorgeous in person and has really good inside art as well

I believe you have a splinter cell steel/pre order pack on its way to you right now, don't you? :)

Careful mortal, you're starting to act like a steel collector :D

Don't worry if you do get serious, I can teach you the secret handshake ;)

Of course considering how good you are at acquiring grails I may not want the competition :haha:

12-12-2012, 07:16 PM

Why are all buying the Steelbook for so much money instead of buying the Assassin's Creed - Ezio Trilogie http://amazon.de/dp/B009J8X6BO

I saw that that edition was supposed to come with a steelbook. I take it it's the same AC steelbook as the one I just got in?

Strange because that AC steelbook I got was released for brotherhood and was supposed to cover AC I, AC II, & brotherhood which is why Altair is on the back of the steelbook. I don't think it was meant to just cover Ezio's saga. I guess they repurposed extras they had maybe???

Besides the cheapest I see that sell for is around 30 Euro used, new it's like 50 euro. I have no interest in the PC games that come with it so they're worthless to me. I got mine sealed for 24 euro shipped which I still consider to be a great deal regardless.

MortalMonday

That's weird that it says not for sale on the back of the comic. I have that book too; in fact, I think I have the complete set. It was a regular mini-series comic based in the book. They sold it at comicbooks stores alongside all the other regular comics. I've never seen it with that not for sale bit though.

SwiftDeath

12-21-2012, 09:40 PM

Yeah I think it was most likely given as a preorder bonus for the game and then they released it normally at a later point.

What I find strange is the Japanese under the not for sale.
The comic is in English so not really sure why it was necessary?

I'm missing that crazy rare Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Stickerbook from the netherlands and the Directors Cut PC Steelbook for AC 1 that was sold in the UK and a couple other countries I think?

I have serious doubts I'll ever have the ACB stickerbook in my collection although I never thought I'd have the ACII stickerbook so I guess anything is possible :shrug:

The AC 1 PC steelbook is more of an annoyance to me than anything. I've seen it for sale multiple times but I can never tell what condition it's in. Even after asking the sellers, I'm still not usually convinced it's as nice as they say because it's so old. I'll definitely get it eventually when I find the right one :)

And grr you has the 4 inch Altair figure from the ac1 NA collectors ED

lol suprised you don't have that? I would've thought you would snag the figure at some point.

I'll have to keep an eye out for one for you then :thumb:

Besides you brits can't complain, your altair figure is a 10 inch statue and can sell for up to 150 euros or so by itself

if you really want a Dutch AC Brotherhood steel my advice is to keep looking on marktplaats.nl because thats the main selling/trading site for our country and you should also look on ebay.nl because if its the listed as postage to the Netherlands only it doesnt always show up on ebay.com and u can still try to lett them ship to your country
had that with a few Spanish and French things i bought didnt show up on the main ebay and luckily they were whilling to ship to the Netherlands

I have a 4 inch figure inside a sealed ac 1 CE but its damaged in one corner and I have an open ac1ve but no figure
I don't have neither acb jumbo book or sticker book, yep there's 2 one from Asia and none from Netherlands
Have already given up hope on having either

And the creed anthology steelbook

Yea that's why I don't think I could ever keep my CE's sealed. I want to play with the figures too much :haha:

Is the asian ACB jumbo actually a jumbo steelbook? Or is it some off brand thing? I've seen it and it is super awesome but not sure if it's a "steelbook" (Yes I'm a bit of a stickler when it comes to what I consider a steelbook :rotf:)

Yeah forgot about the anthology steel, will have to get it.

Only G2 AC steel thus far :notworthy:

The infamous PK is still fairly rare in complete condition (alot have lost sleeves or disks) but yeah it is one of the most common PK's, being in the US is a major disadvantage as it's SCEE who make most of them.

Yeah I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't complete as it's a big step to start buying PK's :D

Does suk that the US doesn't get any but I suppose we have launch kits and such. Usually not as cool though

Yeah pretty much this ^^^^

I know of the site and have looked on it before. I'm just always hesitant to drop more than 50 or so euro on any steelbook regardless of its rarity.

Great updates Daniel! Congrats on your first press kit!

Thanks :thumb:

Now just a 100 more or so PK's and then I'll have something to really show off :suicide:

LowlyAssassin

01-06-2013, 08:31 PM

As far as I am aware it is a jumbo book and steel book the company do not make jumbo books so if you only collect steel books made by the steel book company then you should not have stocker books as they are by a seperate company

NaughtyDogJames

01-06-2013, 08:33 PM

Nah launch kits are often cooler than the PK's IMO just not made as often. I prefer the U2 LK to the PK, AC2's LK was also better than the PK, same with GOW3 (although most people will disagree. They're generally alot harder to find aswell as less games having them.

I know of the site and have looked on it before. I'm just always hesitant to drop more than 50 or so euro on any steelbook regardless of its rarity.

you just gotta waight till someone sells it and doesnt know its rare lol
a guy asked ?20 Euro for the Black Ops steel hope he still has it then its mine

SwiftDeath

01-06-2013, 08:39 PM

Assassins Creed 1 uk steelbook and assassins creed brotherhood steelbook from netherlands and he also needs the anthology steelbook then he has all assassins creed steelbooks.

Yes you are correct, sir :)

Thanks again for help getting the last AC III steelie :thumb:

Didn't see these comments lol

As far as I am aware it is a jumbo book and steel book the company do not make jumbo books so if you only collect steel books made by the steel book company then you should not have stocker books as they are by a seperate company

Steelbooks are made by a company called Scanovo

All of the products and variations they make can be found here:

http://steelbook.com/product/steelbook-dvd/?rs=2

If it is a steelbook it will say inside it as all known steelbooks have the same logo inside

Stickerbooks are actually made by scanovo as well, they use the same steelbook cases but instead of painting on them they simply adhere stickers

Much cheaper to make but also looks much cheaper :shrug:

And for the most part I only collect steelbooks made by scanovo but do have some metalpaks and I'm sure one day I'll get some of the other AC metal tins

I asked about the jumbo because I was curious not because I wouldn't be interested regardless

Nah launch kits are often cooler than the PK's IMO just not made as often. I prefer the U2 LK to the PK, AC2's LK was also better than the PK, same with GOW3 (although most people will disagree. They're generally alot harder to find aswell as less games having them.

lol probably a bit of the grass is always greener over there

I will say that most of the AC launch kits are cooler than the AC press kits but the AC II crimson book press kit is super awesome :)

The Uncharted 2 Promo Launch Journal is cool but it's actually a lot cheaper looking in person than photos would suggest

It's like the only item I've ever had that actually looks better in photos than in real life :rotf:

Still cool though :)

NaughtyDogJames

01-06-2013, 09:13 PM

I had a conversation with ingmar about the journal being not as good quality. Still would lor one to go next to my UDF PK. I think alot of it is just opinion. Some people may prefer the GOW3 PK's wooden bo but I prefer having the content of the LK. I imagine american grass is greener than English grass with the lack of sun.

SwiftDeath

01-10-2013, 05:59 AM

@ James

Yeah I saw ingmar mention that in his intro when he compared the two after he got the Uncharted promo Journal

I pretty much agree with what he said although I don't have a Uncharted PK to compare against :(

Anyways my recent pickups :)

A PS3 copy of the ACB US CE to replace my xbox one :P

Yes I will have to be real gentle with it.

I really like the bag tbh. Really adds to the E3 edition. Will look nice on a shelf too if I ever have the space

Never knew my hands were so interesting :rotf:

Yeap, that was a good deal mate! I missed one around that price a couple of months back.

I like to think so. I imagine it can be challenging to get things from the US.

Nice nice art book!!! Where did you pick that up from Daniel? It's a good size too :ok:

Also your loot steel looks in good condition - lots have silvered corners - doesn't look too bad

And since I don't see you as a guy who wears a necklace.... :idhitit:

When you're reconsidering your photography approach also try to keep yourself out of the image... Unless you're actually going to do a reveal :yes:

Joking apart - great collection growing every day!!

Thanks Mags,

It's the dead space clamshell off of the EA / Treehouse store

Link here: http://gear.ea.com/titles/dead-space/art-of-dead-space-clamshell-edition.html

Shipping out of the US is expensive apparently though :(

Yeah the loot steel is very good condition. Little silver speck somewhere but very tiny

And since I don't see you as a guy who wears a necklace.... :idhitit:

You're right that I'm not one to wear necklaces but I think you could pull the look off ;)

And yes the pics are bad

Been meaning to get something to fix it so I can take better pics but someone asked for some pics of the clamshell so I did what I could

Hard to take pics of the front cover without some glare

I'm sure mortal will take some beautiful pics of his anyways ;)

I do like to think that my collection is improving quite a bit :)

Although a lot of this stuff takes money away from my steel addiction :rotf:

Swift's such a tease.

You know it :haha:

The DS3 Artbook looks quite hefty, was it protected well?

Yes it is very hefty

For comparison the AC III LE art book is around 2.5 lbs

The DS clamshell is actually too heavy for my scale :rotf:

so must weigh more than 5 lbs lol

It was well packed

They weren't individually bubble wrapped though just thrown in a box with little cardboard protectors to protect the corners

Still arrived in perfect condition so no complaints

Redmagster

01-30-2013, 01:07 AM

Wow at 5lbs I'm not surprised shippings is high! :(

Only kidding about pics - nice to see these things :thumb:

And if the necklace ever needs a good trade home... ;)

Really think I ought to narrow my collecting horizons but..... Where to start??? :think:

Keep the updates coming :) should be some more new stuff incoming soon...

SwiftDeath

01-30-2013, 01:37 AM

Yep couldn't be shipped internationally via First Class mail even

Would have to use Priority or better

lol Mags not sure I should tell you but the necklace can be bought separately here: http://gear.ea.com/chrome-plated-marker-pendant.html

Who knows though maybe I'd trade it eventually. But i should have a nice DS3 collection going soon :D

So hard to narrow the way you collect :(

I want everything!

jk I am very happy to have the promo uncharted paper clip/pen holder

Thanks Mags :D

Haven't listened to either soundtrack yet but think I'll try the castlevania one due to a good friend's recommendation ;)

The other soundtrack is actually from Radiant Historia which is a DS game I believe :think:

Got most of that stuff in a random lot of VG things

So UPS always delivers earlier in the day then USPS which is why these were delivered after I already posted the stuff above

I have been thinking about doing steelbook videos but my job is likely to change and require more time among other things

As such I'll probably be quiet on the picture and video front for some months :(

I doubt anyone on here knows this about me but I'm a huge Fallout fan

Loved the original PC games as well as the bethesda reboot

Would love to get some of the other Fallout promo items but Fallout collectors are actually as crazy if not crazier than AC and Uncharted collectors at least in my experience

Love it, almost knocks ni no kuni off my #1 G2 steelbook of this year

Ummm funny thing about the price sticker, I do mean to peel it off but will probably end up using a little Goo-gone to make it come off cleanly

I would usually try it right away but I just successfully got it into a poly protective sleeve.....with the cardboard sleeve in there too

It was to say the least a challenge as it really wasn't meant to fit

I'll probably try it tomorrow and let you know

Don't think it would be a problem though

Yes it is numbered. Yes it has a sticker for the back. Yes the front is embossed.

Can only described this one as a hybrid. Not truly a printed steelbook not truly a stickerbook

Oh, for ... sake. Treehouse always ... up in some way.

Complain until you get one that's mint.

Because they claim they can manage that: ... While some of them were less
damaged than others, we decided that any damage at all was
unacceptable... ...so they can start shipping out to you in mint condition.

I generally don't use such langauge, but I've gone through countless lithos from Treehouse and still they haven't managed to get me one that was mint.

Perhaps this thread needs a mention: http://social.bioware.com/forum/BioWare-General/BioWare-Online-Store-support-/Lithograph-Shipping-Damage-and-Question-thread-5083998-1.html

Lithos should be packaged like this:

Thanks :D

I like the namco edition but wish it had come in proper CE packaging

As it stands its more of a bundle than a true CE

Still good though

Have yet to play the game but love the series.

Yes a grown man can like Naruto, deal with it

Anyways hope to play the game soon as my PS3 is now with me in California :bananayes:

Yes I'm starting to understand why you might give up on them if this is how they arrive

Pictures don't adequetly show it honestly but it's annoying to say the least

Dishonored wear could probably be hidden by a frame but Fallout's damage (my favorite btw) is on the artwork itself :banghead:

And I don't even think it was from shipping as both lithos had damage but in different places

I can't fathom the Fallout litho receiving that damage from shipping considering it was shipped flat in cardboard :scratch:

How does that happpen?

So create a ticket. They'll ask you to rip it up; assuming the procedure is still the same.

In general the packagers are not good, so at some point support will tell you that a supervisor will oversee your order. :facepalm:

That doesn't really make a difference though. Support is however quite good, meaning they aren't that difficult to deal with.

It's small and fragile but beautiful

Oh man that link you have

It just pains me to see that

What did that defenseless litho ever do to them?

I wouldn't do that to my own worst enemies :( and I'm a terrible human being

I think I'll create a support ticket for the Fallout then and see what happens as I can live with the dishonored one

Interesting to hear my little litho cough*postcard*cough is unusual

I believe it is genuine as the seller seemed honest

Will have to find a pic of the other litho. Perhaps there were 2 possible lithos you could get?

And yes I will complain about the Fallout litho for sure as that's on the artwork which is far more frustrating :nono:

And then another smaller update ;)

Other signed poster is already spoken for

I did try to get extra posters but I lack a certain finesse and probably came across as greedy.

I did inform the devs that they have crazy fans in Europe and Australia and should hold events like this there as well :D

They handed out a special cover insert that they signed but I also got them to sign the standard cover insert as well :twisted:

Not entirely sure it was worth the effort involved though but who needs sleep? :shrug:

Also did all come numbered because then I guess I would classify an unnumbered one as a separate variant?

I said trading as I have yet to send my SF poster to him but will soon

Starting to think maybe I should have held out and tried to trade my spare for a signed boston poster as the SF one looks somewhat rare compared to some of the others

Only seen two listed thus far and first one sold almost within an hour 200+ USD :D

But I consider the guy I'm trading with a friend so that trumps it for me

MortalMonday

04-04-2013, 04:45 AM

My guy that went to the NYC event tells me that only a handful of people attended there; and they only handed out one poster per person; and supposedly they destroyed the remaining posters. I'm guessing the NYC poster is, therefore, pretty rare. I haven't really been keeping close tabs on these posters though, so I really dont know how many NYC posters have come up for sale.

SwiftDeath

04-04-2013, 05:08 AM

Quite a lot of signed new york posters have come up for sale

A bunch of unsigned ones as well but less

I'd estimate at least a dozen seperate signed NY posters have been posted on ebay (there were some double posts but I didn't count those)

And then probably 6 - 8 unsigned ones

Only seen 2 signed SF ones pop up but more will given time

anyone's guess as to which one is going to be truly rare :shrug:

My guess is SF but by the number of people that attended it really shouldn't be

Hmmm it is nice but it's not like a giclee

It's different, hard to describe really as I don't take good pictures so you can't really see it

Honestly I like how shiny it is and the colors on it as it's a bit like someone hand painted a steelbook if that makes sense

Much better detail though having never seen a laser cell first hand I guess i.all know when I receive one

Yes it appears to be a very American thing

This site appears to manufacture a lot of the laser cels

Apparently there were 3 separate laser cels available for Resident Evil 4. I only knew of 2

Safe to say they didn't make this one though as their minimum order is 500

:rotf:

So true

There is just so damn much AC stuff

Honestly even the richest among us would have a hard time getting most of it let alone all of it

Meh it's ok if it's not worth quite as much down the road so long as it's not worthless a year from now :P

I can imagine we'll have to start quarantining the AC collectors

Certainly enough of us :P

If Ubisoft keeps releasing new cel arts for their subsequent ones, these might go up in value. It might be a new trend in collecting, like steelbooks.
