Definitely nicer to have some form of art/content inside rather than blank pages. I'll either get the hardcover one or both depending.

The Skull belt buckle seems to be a promo for a lot of AC IV merchandise. I remember seeing it included in the McFarlane set of figures. (You need to buy a set of 4 or 5 figures)

Not a belt buckle into the case of the gauntlet
Seems like they want as many people as possible to have the lapel badges to make the assassin sympathisers easier targets for Abstergo, or so you can spot a fellow AC fan and be like
Acfan1: Yo how much did ac3 suck
Acfan2: i know right
Acfan1: Word

Yes that's how it happens

Gaia of UbiWorkshop says that they are NOT the UbiWorkshop one
sauce

It is not the same. You can?t pre order Ubi Workshop edition. The only Ubi Workshop edition you can find online is the one from the E3 Press kit sold by journalists. Coming soon on Ubiworkshop.com !

And do they have any ISBN for them or not?

Still, there's a small hope for the coin purse, spyglass, flag, leather/cloth maps, etc.

Strange about the tankard. Ubisoft is usually very bloodthirsty for our wallets so wouldn't it be in their best interest to stock all the bonuses in their stores?

Sometimes those stores that have the Pre-Order bonuses have an agreement that the PO bonus will remain exclusive to them, so that they can boost sales.

Just like how Gamestop US usually has some kind of exclusive Pre-order bonus

as far as my understanding goes
The pre order bonuses typically are sourced and chosen by the stores and then approved by the publisher

So in this case the coin purse or spyglass would have been sourced and decided upon by the retailer and then UBisoft Czech or UBisoft Italy would say yes that's OK

But it is looking ever more like that is nit the case
With the global use of steel books and the posters
