Yeah but I'm pretty sure he's only trying to complete the EU AC CE's

Even though he has all the US CE's too

Ca't really afford press kits at the moment.

To get every single promo item is impossible
There are more then 5 branches of UBisoft that each license different promo items and distribute in different amounts
For example
Canada
UK
France
Czech
Russian
Singapore
Australia
Netherlands
Belgium

All have different UBisoft departments and each make at least 5 promo items (usually more) per game
So that is 9 departments (there are more)
Times (x)
5 promo items per game
Times (x)
5 games so far
Equals (=)
225 items not including display boxes and store display items such as posters and standees

You seem to have overlooked the fact that Poland is in Tue EU
And so is Czech Republic (as far as I know)
And so is Spain
So he has a quarter of the EU CE's
Edit hey swift

lol I know they are but I believe he's mentioned that was what he was trying to go for before

So Russian editions would be out but he only collect for consoles anyways so PC editions would all be out

That knocks out most of the polish,czech and Russian editions anyways

So lily, how many promo items do you have for AC?

Using your own definition for what a promo item is and isn't

Also your best guess/estimate is perfectly fine

30 ish
Not including pre sale (immediate ownership) upon preorder
And preorder bonus items
But including gamestop employee/ UBisoft employee gifts
And other items used to promote the game where the item was not originally sold but gifted

Yes promo items are hard to define

AC-THFC · #17 05-03-2013, 11:47 PM

Think you both have just shown how many items are out there!

I'm going to stick to UK Collectors Editions until I have them all. Looking for AC 2 black and white editions and AC3 codex Edition at the moment.

Think I'll go with books, guides and comics aswell. Not to much variety at the moment with them.

Also a fan of the AC figures.

Should have bought all the editions at the time, just didn't have the money!

SwiftDeath · #18 05-03-2013, 11:51 PM

Yes it's a good idea for an AC collector to try and limit what they collect at least at first

I would say start with all retail items of what you have listed

As there are some statues, guides etc. that were press or ubisoft employees only

Also I think you mean ACB (Assassin's Creed Brotherhood) Codex Edition

UK had ACIII Freedom Edition and ACIII Join or Die Edition

Maybe ACIII ubiworkshop edition too

How often does ubisoft employee exclusive come up for sale? Are Press kits just for employees or are they given to the press? (Hadn't heard of them before coming across this forum!)

Yeah sorry that was a mistype. I did mean Brotherhood! I have AC3 Join or die, Freedom is in the post.

If you guys see anything going cheaply , please let me know. Would be greatly appreciated.

Ubisoft employee stuff comes up rarely tbh but there is quite a lot of it to be had

ACIII laser art cell, some art prints, a statue or two

Press kits are given to gaming journalists, reviewers and the like

Thus they tend to be harder to find then a lot of other things

Keep an eye on the "rare stuff on ebay" thread here:

http://collectorsedition.org/forums/...372#post133372

As a lot of rare stuff gets posted
