Very nice!

I see you got the signed skyrim soundtrack - AWESOME.

I was very impressed with that - I have it too and I was so excited when I got it.

Is that a Starcraft figure?!

The Jeremy Soule sigs used to be a timed preorder incentive but even after the offer was supposed to expire he was still signing them. I think that is a good thing because if he signs all the copies in existence then everyone'll know it's a legit sig! Although I also understand that some people who preordered are upset that some false advertising was involved. ;P Regardless the soundtrack is very pleasent to listen to.

The StarCraft figure is called "noobz Raynor" and was given to attendees at Blizzcon 09. With some luck and patience you can find one pretty cheap on ebay. I currently have my eyes on another blizzcon-exclusive statue: mini Tyrael!!!!

Very impressive collection my man! I am especially impressed with the crouching Altair figure and the Attakus Ezio statue. I need them in my life! I see you also have the Assassin's Creed 2 launch kit. Very nice. I am blessed with a complete kit myself. Anyway, keep it up man.

Edit: I have to comment on that lovely New Vegas lithograph as well. I need that one so badly!

I bow before you

Thanks everyone. It's a great pleasure to meet all of you. Before I joined this place I only saw pics of all these collections but didn't know who they belonged to. I could only aspire that one day I might own rare items like "that person". But now I can put names (and even faces) to these majestic collections. I've learned so much about this hobby from you guys but still have much to experience. And of course there is always something new I need to add to my small collection.

About the FONV poster: I remember someone selling a few on ebay but don't know if they're sold out when I wasn't looking. What I do remember is when I purchased mine, over a year ago, there were still a few left (I think they were having trouble selling them). I might be able to dig up their ebay ID assuming they left feedback or I still have messages/receipts...

They only made 400 Murder of Crows bottles. There may be a handful of artist proofs out there as well; but again, 400 is the confirmed edition size. Anyone who tells you otherwise is ill informed. Some are signed, some aren't; but they're all part of the same batch of 400 total bottles.

Who would've thought...

I don't collect steelbooks but that wooden box is beautiful. Would love to have that kit.

Only issued to GameStop stores. They're not numbered, but you can be sure that they may as well have been. They're not easy to come by, especially in mint/complete condition.

This is because most of these kits were parted out or destroyed. The steelbooks in the case were gifts for staff members. Once each staff member got his stellbook, the faux-wood case would either be given away or trashed. The kits also come with mini flags and a deluxe flag poster. Again, the mini flgas abd poster would either be given away, displayed in-store, or tossed.

I myself am lucky enough to have a complete example. I treasure it greatly.

Sorry for the late reply. Just found out that all the FONV lithos were sold out. Ebay seller is called sarowfloww. listing link. Bought mine for about $19.

How did you find out that there are 400 crows bottles? I keep hearing all kinds of numbers!? :p

bbki · #29 06-05-2012, 01:55 AM

It's state on the Irrational Store back when they have it for sale for $500 with signature

Higher than eBay price but with signature of 3 lead dev guess you can't complain

They had it for sale at the Irrational Store. It's sold out now and completely off the site. When it was there though, it had info on the bottles; including the edition size. It very clearly and explicitly said that there are only 400 bottles in existence. They made sure to explain that the bottles that they had for sale were the few that were left over from the original print run. They must have only had a handful available 'cause they sold out pretty fast despite the hefty price tag.
