Sorry for the late replies everyone! I've been busy most of the day...I really appreciate all the replies. I'll do my best to answer everyone:
@Sevket Thanks! It is #52 of 60 sold originally on the ubiworkshop.com store. It is very special to me, same as my other art piece which is 1/30 (Super special - Alice Madness).
@Angelaoni Thanks. Caring for my grandparent's has given me purpose and it will be something I'll always be proud of doing. And yes! That is a Western art piece for Assassin's Creed. It has no specific relation to any of the games (1, 2 or brotherhood), it is just an artists vision of a what a western style assassin in the Assassin's Creed universe might look like.
@Twisted I will have to get back to you via PM regarding the official details for the Splinter Cell case. I know it was a Canadian exclusive and that it came "seperate" from the collector's edition game (which was the same as the US release). Basically it was a bonus item (or maybe even a press kit of some sort). New Hampshire huh? Nice. Close by here. Did you get hit w/ Hurricane Irene? I have yet to actually meet someone online in real life...maybe you'd be the first! lol
@Lemur Thanks Lemur. I'm very proud of the Slimer statue. I got it on amazon (was exclusive) a couple years ago. It came separate from the game and included a bunch of puffy laminated sticker sheets (along w/ the certificate of authenticity and mini Ectomobile). 6500 made so not super rare...
@AJLareneg Thanks! yes
I am very limited on space, but I love it! I love the challenge of trying to organize, protect and display everything. It's part of how I get my kicks as a collector. Got the
DS plasma cutters from
epicweapons.com They are the company who acquired the license with EA/Visceral, then had them made in China (sad I know, but what isn't made there these days?) A closely related site is:
weaponmasters.com I am extremely proud of these replicas! They are true replicas in every sense. From their weight to their detail they are amazing. They each have 3 very powerful lasers that shoot out, just like in the game. These lasers are dangerous (though not the kind that will cut), they can cause eye damage very easy, just from a reflection. I've never seen lasers as powerful as these are. It's too bad I don't have the ones that were auctioned off on eBay for charity that have signatures from the entire Visceral Development team! I will try to do a live demo of my plasma cutters soon.
As for Resistance, yes, it the newest addition to my top 10 collecting series', but still too new for me to have many Resistance collectibles. I have the more rare version of Resistance 2 (the one that came bundled w/ the PS3 system which has a different cover art) and I have the Resistance 2 CE. I also have all the comics and graphic novel mint*. Thats it so far, but I plan for more!
@Ayiu Thank you. I like to have a lot of variety so my collecting has a very broad range...though I do try to stick to specific series' and platforms to appease my completionist tendencies.
@mosavon Yes sir! I have a few coming from everyone! I'm all "preordered" out! So excited for everything. Everyday all I think about is holding each collectible in my hand soon. Rage, Battlefield 3, AC:R, Batman AC, Uncharted 3, Gears 3, Resistance 3, my oh my!!
