season pass (will be on sale not long after the game releases)
futurepak (worth maybe $5?)
hip flask ($3.50 made in china?)

really not seeing the value for money there!
on the australia site, there's a whopping $70 difference between the big ben and charing cross edition.

i have gotten the most expensive of every AC edition starting from revelations. the only high-end edition i thought
was good value for money was the black chest (AC4). Unity was a step backwards in value imo. looks like Ubisoft
are trying to maximise profits as of late (and under-delivering).

If we are comparing manufacturing costs then game disc $5, digital version $0
Any box $5
Map $0.5
Mini artbook $1

But since when did any body pays manufacture costs for a brand new retail product?

You have to look at retail prices
Season pass $34.99

That's half your $70 already
Hip flask(assuming its a small 4ozand not a standard/medium size one $10-15. Mediums size being more like $15-25
Lithograph, depending on size, a4 size 13-10 inches with massive white boarders in actual cotton lithographic paper as with all ubiworkshop/ubishop lithographs $15-30 depending on the vibrance and variants in the colour
Statue has more detailing to do as there is more of it, difference there is comparing a $45 statue to a $60 statue. Difference of 15

OK so low retail price estimates
$90 difference

Or heck why not just ask for the whole thing to be sold at manufacturing costs and ignore the overheads likes shipping and handling and processing fees

Edit: all capitalist companies try to maximise there profits while reducing effort

Re edit I forgot the futurepak; what's rrp on one of these? Well they generally gave steel books away for a $5 CA in Canada? Or charged $11.99 US/CA after the turlw had been out for a while so that puts the rrp if contents up to around the 100 AUS mark
