go for all of the above, all sound good



Did you get the correct ubiworkshop version? Btw the carte blanches are printed, the last 20 or so pages. I confirmed it yesterday with Ubi.

As far as the art books, something is weird with them. Originally art of AC3 was supposed to ship 10/30 then said 6-9 weeks. Last night it changed back to 11/5. I was thinking to myself last night while out shopping "where else sells books that would have this?". I checked Barnes & Noble online and it said the store 3mi from me had it in stock. (side note: my comic order was delayed due to the hurricane). I walk into B&N and the first thing I see is the comic set right up front! I was so ecstatic I didn't have to wait for my order to come next week. Then someone helped me find the one and only copy of Art of AC3 and nabbed that too. Total fluke I ended up at the store last night.

Yea the art is printed on the last few pages
Yes I checked the box before opening and Xbox 360 was printed on it so I opened it
And that Connor concept art is on page 279
And I meant assassins creed art (r)Evolution not art of ac3 its a different book

Also I need advice on opening the sealed confidential envelope
Does steaming work (like on TV)?

I haven't heard anything about the Art Rev book, still late November for me.

I took a ton of photos... where is best to post?

All that AC3 merch in one place... it's a beautiful masterpiece. Words can't express how wondrous and blinding they are at the same time!

Second that emotion!!

Not sure if anyone cares, but I took a picture of the flag from the North American CE version of the game and the flag that was sent to the press in the wood case to compare the two.




Not surprisingly, the flag from the CE is inferior in quality when compared to the press flag. The CE flag I believe is made of thin pieces of nylon, whereas the press flag is made of heavy duty cotton. The stars and AC logo are also embroidered much more densely in the press flag.

Spoiler!

That is one kit I've been hunting for months. When you say 'sent to you', do you work in the industry?

It appears that the Press Flag is also larger in size?!
I'm hoping Ubi will sell premium/quality flags on their site, it's all I really wanted from the US LE but I totally agree about the inferior quality included with the LE...it looked bad in unboxing videos as well.

Haha yeah after seeing photos of your flag I was pretty excited for the CE.

Needless to say, the CE flag is really disappointing. Feels super cheap.
