Wow, what a thread. Took me three days to read it.

Impressive collection you got there Mortal! Kudos

I was so happy with my sealed DSULE until I chanced upon this thread. In your thread my X360 'grail' DSULE is simply used as some random paper weight (gasp!) in a picture for one of your multiple signed litographs! I haver to laugh at how many of the modern sealed so-called 'grails' are used as paperweights to showcase posters. Ah, pure evil

This thread has definitely broadened my horizons when it comes to collecting. I'm (very) grateful at all the online stores I have tracked down thanks to your thread and all the goodies I have now discovered. Sets me new targets.

In return I thought you may be interested in this link which has a limited (autographed of course Mortal!) run of litographs of classic 1988 game Wasteland which spawned the modern setting of post-apocalyptic games that inspired the Fallout series and many others.

At least after seeing your thread my wife now thinks I'm not such a nutter after all; your thread makes me look in her eyes as 'almost' normal (key word 'almost').

There are considerably worst cases than mine .. *cough* Giant Dragonborn statue in the attic *cough*

I'm fairly sure that has some Freudian echoes to it.

Sorry, couldn't resist Mortal.

I'm curious, you don't collect old-school big boxes i.e. Black Isle / Interplay. It's all very modern goodies. Any particular reason for that? Is it because of the high prices fetched that you'd rather focus on new (rare) stuff?

Thanks Mortal, your thread has made for an enjoyable read. Looking forward to all your updates; great stuff!

Thank you so much for the kind words! I don't really collect older stuff (certainly not older games) simply because there's not enough money or space! I may, from time to time, buy older stuff that's based on old games that I especially love, like ICO for instance (and I'm not too sure that ICO would even qualify as retro yet, lol.)

Thanks again brother! Talk to you soon. Tell your wife this nut said hello!

Quick update:

I'm not sure exactly what the story is behind this book, but as you can see, it is a limited edition art book based on Ryse. This edition is limited to 200 copies, and is hand numbered. I have no idea if other editions of this book exist, or will exist later.

The book is rather large, and long. It's slightly taller, and way longer than the Journey art book, for instance. It's also hardbound, and I think it's bound in real leather too, though it may be synthetic. It looks and feels like real leather to me though.

I'm really looking forward to this game, so when this little beauty popped up, I jumped on it! I just the hope the game won't be as bad as some people are saying! I actually played it a bit already at that one Xbox tour thing. Honestly, I didn't think the game was all that bad at all. We'll see though. Next week can't come soon enough!

Thanks again all!

Thank you! I got really lucky finding this book! Right place, right time!
I actually want to thank the very awesome CE.org member that helped me get this piece! You know who you are.

I'm also something like 80 or 90% sure that the cover is real leather! It looks and feels like it to me. But again, I really can't be sure at all. It might be synthetic.

Jet another great update man!

That art book looks freaking awesome, congrats

Seeing so many cool collectables from other game series makes me wanna collect more then AC stuff....but can i afford it.....hmmmm........to collect ore not to collect, that is the big question

Steel book for sizing?
Come on mortal everyone uses steel books to show the size of an item
Well everyone except the guys from Eurogamer who use their girly hands as a standard of measurement = pathetic

MortalMonday · #9 11-13-2013, 07:27 PM

I'm on it Lowly, more pics coming soon.

No promo disc sadly. The book is about 100 pages long. 98, I think.

That is the first edition of Journey, signed by Mr. Chen and Mr. Nava.
