Capcom signed Resident Evil Poster and custom made Umberella

[Raasclark]

After reading about the signed plasma cutter, I decided to share my experience...

A couple of weeks back, I received this PM on this very site no less. He has asked me to blank out his name because, well you'll read this in the few PMs that went back and forth.

"Hello there

First off, I want to make clear that this is not a troll post, so if what I write sounds implausible, please don't think that this is a joke. I am happy to provide you with photos of the things I discuss below.

Allow me to introduce myself. I am *blank*, I work as *blank* with Capcom/SSG, and I have a tradition: every time I finish a game, I try to find a gamer that shares my passion for games and send some unique memorabilia to that person -It is something I would ideally like to do for everyone who plays the games I make, but of course that is impossible, so I try to find one every time I ship a game. Call it spreading good karma if you like.

I saw your posts on the Collectorsedition.org (I lurk here quite often), and I thought that you would appreciate getting some Resident Evil merchandize that will never be available to the public. I really like the passion you have for the RE franchise.

So I put aside a Umbrella that was custom-made for the dev team (much bigger/higher quality than the one available in the Capcom shop with cooler logos), and a poster of the game with the Dev Team autographs, and I am happy to send them to you free of charge.

Let me know if you are interested!

Thanks,

*blank*"

"Hi *blank*,

I must say I feel truly honoured to be picked out of millions of others for what you are offering.

I'm struggling to get my head round that you chose me. But I'm incredibly grateful and thankful.

I've been a huge fan of both Capcom and Resident Evil. This will only continue my love for such a wonderful franchise.

I can't believe you picked me! Is it ok to share this news?

But to answer your question. Yes I am interested!

Kind regards
Clark"

"Hello Clark,

I chose you based on how you wrote you posts on this forum: you are just as passionate about the franchise as me, but you are also polite to others (VERY rare in games forums). I picked you the same way every time I finish a game. I just pick a person that "feels" right.

I know a lot of game fans feel that us game developers don't care about their fanbase -and I'd like to convince at least one person per year that it is not true.

I am fine if you let people know, but please don't mention my role/real name as we are normally supposed to let Capcom PR handle these kind of things.

OK, to business... I will send the stuff to you this weekend, all I need is your full name and address. I will send you the tracking number as well, so you can let me know when you get it.

I'll upload photos of the goodies this week as well so you'll see what you are getting, and send you a link.

Thanks,

*blank*"

And here's the pics of them:
