also disagree about the assassins creed going the way of call of duty 6 years ago, that's entirely incorrect.
up until black flag, the series was doing VERY well and IMPROVING as per metacritic user scores.
i'd say unity has marked the decline in ubisoft value for money, hence my post about this edition, being a marked reduction
in value over previous editions.

AC4 black flag black chest edition -> $179.95 AUD including shipping
AC Unity guillotine edition -> $189.95 AUD including shipping WITH FREE SEASON PASS
AC syndicate -> $210 AUD including shipping (with arguably the least value for money thus far)

my points still stands. its simply not worth buying the big ben over the charing cross edition BASED ON THE VALUE OF PREVIOUS EDITIONS.
"Going the way of call of duty" is a term that has many meanings, I took it to mean,anualized releases which started in 2009

Yes its a few gears in the back ground, but thats detailing that needs doing by hand with an airbrush and airbrush people are skilled and not everyone can do it so it justifies the extra 15 or so AUD cost

The picture of the lithograph is blurry and tiny as it is yet to he voted on as to which (of a possible three) will be included in the edition and if you are going by the size of the item in the image then it is A6 size which is HALF the size of all the previously included postcards, take a post card and fold it so the too shortest edges are touching and that's the size represented in the digital mockup, I do not think that is to scale


Yes the prices have slowly been increasing but also many people have been saying that the quality of the figures has slowly been improving too
