Intro + early Assassin's Creed collection

[The Silent Man]

Hello everyone,
I just joined this community and I feel like writing a short introduction and show part of my small collection.

I live in Italy and I'm a fan of Monkey Island and Prince Of Persia since early '90s.
My interest in buying original copies of old games brought me on eBay, where I became both collector and experienced seller: throughout the last 8 years I have been buying and shipping literally thousands of collectible items (from and) to every corner of this planet - Peru, Brazil, Indonesia, Australia, Fiji Islands, Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, you name it.

Being the natural evolution of Prince Of Persia, the first Assassin's Creed got my attention immediately and I truly loved the early games in the series and I started collecting AC items.
I almost stopped between AC Revelations and AC3 when I understood that it became a culture phenomenon, a mandatory yearly release and it definitely got too popular for my pocket with all those editions and gadgets and merchandise.
I also live in a very small room, so now I only own selected items of new releases (a Freedom Edition, a Join Or Die Edition and the CE Strategy Guide for AC3).

This is a very small collection but I have several rarely seen items, such as

• AC2 promotional leather Codex book, very first version made of cotton-like pages and extremely limited;

• AC1 original numbered metal box;

• Promotional t-shirts such as the "Night Of The Assassin" one;

• AC2 Japanese perfect guide CE + special Lineage DVD;

• AC Revelations LED keyholder;

• Promotional and limited edition AC Brotherhood hoodies...

Sorry I don't have a complete picture yet. Here are the first pictures of my collection (updated to AC Brotherhood). More to come in a near future.

Hey, welcome to the forum. Glad to see you finally make your intro. Show us pics of your other collection soon. As much as we love Assassin's Creed here, some may be tired of it already.

I'm with you on Prince of Persia, love that series lots. Still wishing for the next one.
Also some pics of this:

This is very different from the beautiful Codex released with AC Brotherhood. Much bigger, rough and way more realistic (amazing for cosplay purpose - oops, wrong word in a forum of collectors).
I spent months searching and paid a fortune for it. It was given to very few selected people at the launch event of Assassin's Creed II in Milano, 1 year before the Codex Edition of ACB came out.
I bought it from someone who got it at the event. I may part ways with it sooner or later.

I need at least access to direct links of the images and album/folders. I can't access direct links of my own images on Shutterfly!

Hey, you must be the same Lexter that bought AC Embers and AC Brotherhood envelope with lythographies from me. Nice to see your huge collection here!

Is there anything inside the codex book?

Or are all the pages blank?
