Another little update guys! Some good stuff here, I think. Please enjoy the pics!
Two more Dishonored giclees:
Another Borderlands screenprint for my set. Thus far, I've managed to get them all:
Alduin's Wall lithograph. The art is really nice, but I think I would've preferred it as a giclee. It would've been nice if it were a bit bigger too; and signed and numbered.
Pokemon poster. I know nothing of Pokemon, so I'll probably end up trading or selling this one:
Devil's Kiss Vigor bottle. The bottle is definitely a high quality piece. The paint is spot on, and the sculpt is excellent. It has a great deal of weight to it too. You can just tell that this is a high end collectible; and I'm certainly happy to add it to my collection:
and here are the two bottles side-by-side:
I found this next piece at a game shop. It was cheap, so I picked it up despite the fact that I don't really collect retro. It's a factory sealed, near mint Castlevania II NES game. I'll probably end up selling it, but I'm not sure yet. It'll depend on how cool it looks sitting on my game shelf:
I've had this next one for a while now, just forgot to post sooner.
Signed Fallout 3 Gary Hoodie package. The caps are signed by the entire Treehouse team!
A very special thanks to Treehouse_Ryan! I can't thank him enough! Thanks to everyone at Treehouse as well. You all are simply the best!
This next one isn't really game-related, but I am so happy to have it, that I figured I'd share it. I met one of my all time favorite comic artists this past weekend at a con, and I managed to win a sketch commission from him! Now, he almost never does sketches at cons; and he certainly never does sketches of this quality at cons. So for him to actually do one like this is certainly special. He did this Lady Loki drawing for me. Hope you all like it too:
Here is the artist holding the sketch:
and here is a better pic of the art. Oh yeah, I met Stan Lee too, and had him sign it!
and now, the best for last! This piece here eluded me on one previous occasion. It wouldn't have stung too much, but as it happens, this piece seldom comes up for sale. In fact, that one time that I missed it, was the only other time that'd I'd personally ever seen it for sale (the one I now own is the only other one I've ever seen for sale.)
It had come up at least one or two other times before that, from what I hear; but again, I'd only seen it available that one time.
Needless to say, I was super bummed because I missed it! But, I did get over it eventually. It really did help to know that it went to a fellow CE.org collector! I knew that it would be well appreciated!
The moment another one of these came up, you bet your butt I snatched it up faster than you can say collector!
A special thanks to my good friend Deathhound for making this happen!
And to all my fellow AC collectors whose hearts I broke: Dear friends, you have my deepest sympathy. I'm sure your time will come too.
This is an Australia exclusive Assassin's Creed disc storage case that can hold up to 4 discs. From what I understand, it was available exclusively at JB Hi-Fi (an Australian retailer) as a pre-order bonus item. The piece resembles a hardcover book and features 8 unique art pieces inside (including 2 double spreads), and the 2 art pieces on the front and back covers of the hardcover binding.
Considering how seldom these come up for sale, I think it's reasonable to assume that they're relatively scarce. Maybe they didn't have many pre-orders there, and trashed the majority of these? Who knows.
I'm just glad to finally have it!
Thanks everyone for taking the time view all of the pics and read everything! Take care.
