SO then Bayek sold out so fast mostly because it was so limited. Then in the future if I see 1900 production run of a legendary statue I will wait a year to buy at the E3 sale! Although I doubt they won't learn from this and ratchet back the production on future statues.

In all honesty this might have been the game that made my love for AC decrease substantialy.

I totally understand you, but on the contrary I liked this game more than Origins for sure. But I understand what you said and even some of my friends didn't like the way the franchise is heading.

Is not so much the game that i didnt like, gameplay, etc plays nice actually.
It's all the god damn SJW pandering that killed it for me.
Women in the battlefield in Ancient Greece? Open homossexuality? Open bestiality? And a dozen more things that for a franchise that tries to (within the reals of videogame possibility) keep a certain degree of historically acuracy is just straight out non sense for the sake of pleasing people who doesnt even play videogames.

There is a couple reasons why it didn't sold-out imo.

First, Odyssey came out just a year after origins, vs Origins came out two years after Syndicate. So people were waiting for origins and there was a lot of hype around it, more than Odyssey. So when they saw this giant CE they jumped on it. Also, not everyone has $600 to put on a statue each year.

Second, Bayek does indeed feel more Assassin than Alexios and that might have turned off some people to buy the Alexios statue.

Third, the edition size. 999 of bayek vs 2000 of Alexios. That's twice as much of a statue from a less anticipated, less AC-ish game.

Finally, Ubisoft's choice of selling Bayek as a Collector's edition, but Alexios as a standalone statue, and for almost the same price. Lots of people collect only Collectors editions, so if it's not labbelled as such, they won't buy. They should have made the Alexios statue as a CE instead.

I got mine at 20% off with Ubi points when it came out and I am happy with it and with the price I paid. It could have been cheaper but I am always too scared of missing out and getting big heavy stuff in Canada can be quite complicated. It does suck for those who paid full price. At least now we know, 2000 units of a standalone statue is too high.

I don't know... legendary scale Altair from PureArts the makers of my favorite large premium AC pieces... Connor Premium, Legendary Bayek and even Legendary Alexios, just can't pass that up.

I know the animus effect doesn't look great in the photos but I'm sure in person this rendition of Altair will be great. PureArts just does an exceptional job with detail and features. Unrelated from AC statues, I just picked up the Legendary Knox BGE2 for deep discount at E3 sale made by Purearts and the detail is incredible so I can't imagine after all this Altair will be bad. Also I have larger scale resin/poly figures of Edward from McFarlane, Ezio from Attakus and the PureArts statues I mentioned that all have corresponding smaller scale vinyl figures in my collection so adding Altair in this scale would be great and compliment my smaller vinyl First4Figures standing and crouched Altair from long ago.

Given that UBI is not releasing a new Assassins Creed game this year, having an Altair available from Purearts direct will be a nice bridge to whatever legendary edition UBI comes out with next year (hopefully again partnering with PureArts.

In case you guys didn't know, you can get 10% off from PureArts with code CONTEST2019

I'll be at montreal comic-con next week, Prime 1 and Pure Arts will be there. Hopefully they'll have the Altair statue and GOW, Bloodborne and SotC statues on display. It will be easier to decide if I buy these.
I'll probably get altair, with the discount, 600 USD shipped isn't this bad.

Cool, take pictures and post please if you see it! Pure Arts will be at Pax West near me but not until end of August.
