Depends on the weight really...that could get tricky to get the weight of unless one Aussie member gets one for themselves. xx

I received a Reject Shop catalogue in the mail, I found this out by pure accident. The chest looked soooo familiar and soooo alike to the Charity Chest that I had to make sure! I'm shocked as much as I'm not, one thing we have to realise is that chests and boxes like these will more than likely come from an existing form. eg. the Care Package box for Black Ops 2 is most likely an existing tool box!? Those Bullet casing boxes are obvious. So unless otherwise stated, such as Uncharted 3 Chest, they're just going to bulk buy some existing case/box already available somewhere.

But I would guess them for you one sec
24 by 18 by 18 inches
Give or take
Based on the size of ac3 freedom that comes in it

That's a good intelligent guess, and sounds about right

The first time I saw the Chest, I questioned its origin!? It didn't look like it related to the franchise for me and there was no detailed information about it. If it was indeed exclusively made and customized for the "charity", I would have expected a little behind the scene of the reasoning for such a Chest box.

Don't feel bad, feel happy that the money you submitted has gone to help kids with illness

Plus now you can purchase an unmarked Chest box to put all your AC items in and keep the "original" Chest box safe from possible damage

Was only joking mate, not blaming you for this at all. I blame Ubisoft. Yes, I am happy that the money went to charity, but that's not the point really. Those who purchased these spent a lot of money on them. I'm sure if you or anyone else had bought one you'd also feel burned by this. I still like the set, just annoyed and wish I had known about this earlier.

Anyway, for those interested in buying a chest, I don't think its the small one. The AC one is fairly large and weighs around 7.5 - 8kg. I priced up postage to several countries as I've had a few offers to sell, and the cheapest available postage to the UK is $104 for sea mail with no tracking or insurance. Air mail is $213, also with no tracking, and express post is $220 and has tracking.

This was to be expected, if they were custom made no money would have been left to go to charity! Still a bummer, its nice to have a really unique item, but well its still great to have imho and you supported a good cause.

just picked up one of the smaller chest
26cmx28cmx48cm and about 3kg

postage would be about $55ish by sea mail and about $105 for air mail

cool bro. We're the other bigger two at your Reject Shop as well?
And is it possible to fit all in one chest...Russian doll style?

What's your opinion on quality?

[I_BE_WILL]

The only ones there were 1 small and 2 big, and they pretty much said they have no clue when they will get more in. Not certain about putting them Russian doll style without seeing the middle size/ or at least knowing dimensions. I'll put a few pictures up later of the inside, but the joins on the inside around the leather aren't the best i've seen but for all i know it could just be mine.

And is the small one the right size

So how big is the chest?

About 1 / 1 and a half AC:Freedom Editions

Strangest unit of measure I've seen yet.....
