Ehhh, alright but not as cool as they could've made it and certainly not worth going to all the hoops of having friends sign up to build up enough points. I guess it's rare but what good is something rare unless it is also really cool. I think they should've made a sturdy resin or metal realistic rendition of the cane sword (as opposed to that cheap plastic Halloween prop currently sold at Gamestop) and had that be the 200k prize. That would have been really cool.

EDIT: Just went and checked the rewards thing to see what it said, and it says 50 are left for the Big Ben Clock.

Also anyone see that Top Hat that is a replican of Jacobs? Only 2 left and costs even more then the clock at 300,000 points.

Lol... I suppose. The contest points are technically worthless so any prize for them is pretty awesome. But I should point out this was not a prize one, this one was given as a gift to a partner of Ubisoft. In any case value and how desirable it might be is based on an individual basis... so really only diehard fans and collectors would even try for it on the contest side of things. From what I gather though you would have to have saved all your points and on top of that gotten very lucky a couple times at the spin to win game just to get enough points... as you said it would not be worth getting tons of people to sign up as that would take forever and be about impossible.

But yeah it is subjective on whether you like it or not (I personally think it is really cool, I am sucker for statue type promotional items).

Yeah, a real canesword would be cool (a resin replica would be terrible though as resin in a thin structure like that would be very easy to break and also would warp over time).

Has anyone seen any of these unboxed from the actual contest prizes? Just curious what they look like and if they were the same as the one you showed in your YouTube video? Wondering if they included any type of document/letter stating anything about the "Join the Family" contest or anything?

All the "sold" auctions on eBay appear to have used the same stock photo (and description).

Seriously. I don't swear, but if I did this would be one of those moments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've spent the past week banging on the door of Ubisoft's CSR to get them to give me the points that I earned through their referrals. I had confirmed at least 20 people which would've been 60,000 points. I only needed 15,000 or so to get to the 200,000. Up until today the clock has been available and Ubisoft has been juggling me around.

Well guess what?! Someone over there FINALLY responded to my last request this afternoon and rewarded me 21,000 points which pushed me over the limit. I go to the reward site as soon as i possibly could, click on the clock to redeem my hard earned points (never got more than 3k on the spin) and I'm greeted with...

Spoiler!

REDEEM REWARD
Assassin’s Creed Syndicate Clock

Cost
200,000 Credits
SOLD OUT
For Family members only! You won’t find this designer clock anywhere else. Modeled after one of London’s most iconic monuments, get your hands on one before they run out! Phone number required (will only be used to contact potential winners). Rewards valid for US shipping addresses only.
Sorry! This reward is sold out.

FREAKING SOLD OUT!!!!!!!

Yup. Normally I don't over react, but I am livid. This is the most ridiculous thing and there's absolutely no need for this to have happened! All it should have taken was 2hrs tops for someone to review my case, see that my referrals were real, award me the points and *bam* case closed.

Of course, the hat sold out to, so there's nothing to even spend my points on now!

Could you go back and complain again? Since it is their fault for not giving you the correct points you should have had one.

(plus them saying there is only _____ left is always a lie)

Yeah, that's exactly what I did. Sent them another email explaining the situation (though I had explained to them all along in the history the "urgency" of the matter). That's why I said I'm not holding my breath that they'll follow through though. I mentioned the fact that they usually have "overstock"or extras for replacement purposes and that I wasn't asking for "special treatment" but just to get what I legitimately "earned".

That really sucks... like really sucks.

You'll find it on Ebay eventually, it is not the end of the world for a clock

I'm happy with my Assassin Creed 3 umbrella

I kinda do not think that was the point.

200,000 make believe points compared to $200+ real world dollars just because the recruit system was broken and Customer Service was slow and dodgy is why he is upset.

I can say I would be livid as well, that is why I did not say much as really when people say things like that to me after something like that happens it makes me even more upset
