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

advice..dont waste to much money on random promo crap. I would concentrate on getting all the collector editions and steelbooks first. After you have that complete (which is already a big task) than go for other stuffs.

ps: my collection which is pretty complete (except not pc steelbook but thats because i only collect ps3), also missing canada ebgames pre order tin. And i forgot to include in pic, wooden black edition.

Okay, cheers for the advice. Got a few collectors editions at the moment. Just paid ?45 for the AC3 Freedom Edition which is in the post.

Not a cheap hobby considering how many items are out there!

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

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

Man, I envy your steelbooks. That brotherhood and spanish sticker.

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 · #10 05-03-2013, 10:51 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
