I wasn't overly impressed with this CE, mainly due to the lack of a decent outer box and the poor quality of the figures (and why advertise Dracula as a 4th and not include him!?). I wasn't too impressed with the artbook either - it seemed to me like a "nice hardcover comic book". I also felt that there should have been SOMETHING else, like a soundtrack or lithograph or something in there, but since I was able to get a good deal with some Amazon.fr credit and all I guess I can't complain too much.

Well, here it is...

Wow, I actually went and watched an unboxing for this because I thought "that must just be the shipping box" but no, it is not. Good thing they put the name of the game on the outside otherwise you wouldn't even know what it was...

Well, yeah, the more I think about it I guess the Tomb being the box itself isn't all that bad - I'm just used to a "wrapper" or something with the name of the game on the outside. If I put on my "let's be creative" hat, I suppose I can appreciate the CE on that note. Even though I didn't have a huge glowing review on it, I'd still rate it at a 6.5/10 due to it being different, plus it had a steelbook which is more than I can say for Titanfall

So rather than have one large update I figured I'd break it up and just put a few things on here now and a few next week. Everything included in this update I got at a real bargain (I felt) and am super happy overall.

I added a few more things to the collection that you'll see below. 1 CE, 1 Laser Cel, and 1 figure. I got my AC4 replacement in the mail from Amazon yesterday and it came in MUCH better condition than the previous one (woohoo!), practically mint! Also, the Super Mario Laser Cel is neat because its in almost a "shadow box" type packaging so there's actual depth to it (though tough to see in the picture).

Also (not included in this update) but I actually added a new Cel Art that I never knew existed to my Suikoden collection too(don't have the retro stuff listed yet or unpacked, but will find it and post later), but didn't take any pictures of it, just got it though and was pretty excited!

Well, here's my latest update...

Defiance Ultimate Edition

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Laser Cel (Limited Edition of 500)

Edward Kenway: The Assassin Pirate Figure

I realized the other day that I haven't posted ANY of my updates in quite awhile, and especially after finding some of my retro things and getting several new items I figured it was time to update accordingly.

In this update there's mystery, adventure, hidden characters, fantasy, and, well...cool things! There's a few CEs, some promo materials, several Steelbooks, and some knick-knacks (though I won't be highlighting them specifically as they belong to a series I've yet to display on here). What there is NOT are: llamas, inappropriate workplace comments, and many retro things (at least not yet).

So, per usual I think I've got many of these things at a great bargain. So a big thanks to any of you (especially Maggie and Jorge) for helping me with some of these finds and trades.

And without further ado...

The Great Box of Mystery

Here's what's inside

Spoiler!

And I promised some Adventure...

Kinectimals FAO Schwartz Bear Edition

Tomb Raider Lara Croft Collectible Figure

Watchdogs Limited Edition (US)

Elder Scrolls Online & Skyrim Steelbooks

The Witcher 2: Dark Edition (Sealed)

Followed by some Fantasy...

Final Fantasy XIII-3: Lightning Returns Steelbooks

Final Fantasy XIII-2 Steelbook

Final Fantasy XIII Collector's Edition (UK) & Pre-order Cards

And of course, Cool Things...

Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition

Super Mario 3D World w/Keychain & Slipcover

Mario Kart 8 Limited Edition (US) w/Bonus Swag
(there's a hidden character in this photo trying to rain on Mario's parade)

But Wait....there's more?! What's inside THIS little box?

You're not allowed to click the spoiler tag unless you hear the "Zelda Treasure Chest" sound in your head

Spoiler!

And that's all I have the room for on this update,... be sure to leave some comments about any of these items and I'll post another one soon!

Hi,
I just finished beating super Mario 3d world and I really love it. I saw your post awhile back with the super Mario 3d world slip cover with the cat Mario on it. Anychance you'd sell that or let me know where you got it? Would really like to try and get one.
Thanks!

Hey there! Not even a small chance I'd sell it haha, but I'm more than happy to let you know where I got it. I purchased it (with the help of a kind UK member here) from ebay.co.uk. It was a pre-order bonus along with a keychain (iirc) that was offered in the UK. It can still be readily found on ebay for fairly cheap. Also, congrats on beating the game! It really was/is such an awesome gem in the series!

Hope that helps!
