Thanks for the info but I am rather sure on there origin

From what I can discern on the two or three Japanese websites I've found that actually described these, they were only available for purchase at the 2nd Assassin's Creed Art Exhibition in Tokyo, not the game show.

Unless someone has anything that actually says they were available at the game show?

The 2nd Art Exhibition only ran from Jan. 6 - 17 of this year so while I don't think they're necessarily super rare. I do think someone would be very hard pressed to find these for sale in Japan, let alone outside of it. The 3 concept art folders are easier to get from what I've seen but the original works from Japanese artists are much harder to find.

YOu can find plenty of there is you look on amazon japan or verrious other japanese auctions sites. Though iv noticed most of there Japanese people who buy these happen to live outside tokyo.

There even avalable for free from tokyo game show. I have asked enough Japanese people to know that there so so durt common there there at tokyo game shows an verrious other promotions around tokyo to sell there next big game. The ones from tokyo game show might just have differnt art work perhapps but any big outlet and way to get the word out they have theres and hundreds other items you would be suprised to see. You will find they do a lot more of these for non Japanese game as they try much harder to sell non Japanese games to Japanese people but 90% of the time JApanese do not care and just throw these things away.

Well that is somewhat disheartening, aw well

Mind posting some links to the folders you mentioned?

Problem i have with yahoo japan is there's no completed listings options so I can't see what has sold in the past.

The ones I bought and a single other folder were all that were on Yahoo auctions at the time of my purchase

I would be able to help you more if i actually knew the Japanese word for these things. I can probably ask some of the Japanese people i know and see what they say.

Do you also have pictures of any of the folders that were available at the tokyo game show?

I know for a fact that the 8 originals I have were sold at the art exhibition, not given away.

Again I found it very difficult to determine how common they were/are both inside and outside japan.

I'm interested in my 8 folders which I really do believe were exclusive to the art exhibition

i would love to know what this website says:

http://www.ubisoft.co.jp/acr/art/tokyo.html

I know it talks about the folders in the merchandise section somewhere

I can't grab the text so I can't use google translate on it

[geralds]

oh thats easy you can easal see its just an assassint creed advertising page for one. It just an art gallary promotion there using to build hype for asssisns creed 3 and that it will include verrious other art items from asssissns creed history. It just one of there large and heavy promotions i was mentioning about there there trying t get Japanese people interested in non Japanese made games. Well that is what the bottom text says anyway. The top part is just basic an art promotion to help try and boost sales from assassins creed revalations that just came out. Then they give you links to each assassins creed website. Then some were on there they mention 1 or 2 of the artist who did some drawings to try and garner Japanese attention. and then as you can see the bottom is like a map to show people how to get there.

FYI do not bother with google translate its way to freeking in accurate. Even with all the promotion you can see there doing for assassins creed it still sad it still cant seel half as well as actuall Japanese made games in Japan. アサシンクリード asashin kuriido アサシンクリードII asashin kuriido 2 アサシンクリードブラザーフッド asashin kuriido burazaafuddo アサシンクリードリベレーション asashin kuriido ribereeshon
