Assassin's Creed Tokyo Art Folders *Update* Arrived & Pictured!

[geralds]

There crap tons of art folders or other art folder like stuff all the time stores give this stuff away as like preorder bonus. I wouldnt even be supprised if stores like HMV Japan even gave away nice art calanders as free preorder bonus. Theres a crap ton of exclusive preorder crap and other stuff always giving away a akiraba districts in tokyo as well a lot of that stuff you wont find online ether as most of it you have to be physicaly present to even get it anyway. Japanese also don't seem to have a standard place to sell stuff like how we have ebay, Yes yahoo auctions may be the most popular auction website in Japan but still not enough gets posted on there compared to ebay because of rules banning foriegners from bidding and crap. ALso thanks for that link now i can probably find better information thanks to that link and probably better explain it to some of my Japanese friends.

Here are some of the strange promotional or ther stuff to try and convice japanese to buy stuff like here some assassins creed art work made 100% out of acrylic

They mostly dont and majority of them are all in tokyo because they trying to convince Japanese people to try out western games and non rpgs. RPGS are the top selling genre of video games in Japan like i dout you ever going to see this kinda avertizement or promotion for crap like final fantasy or Dragon Quest as those are already exstreamly high sellers in Japan but you can find this crap for like halo resident evil, even call of duty of stuff like this in Japan. I used to think americans were heavy advertizers and try hard to get people to buy things but then i saw what Tokyo does and they seriously wont give up i was like wtf there not even try over here in America. There is a good enough reason why Tokyo is the city that spends the most money in the world for pretty much anything.

Found the Japanese sites that I believe say the clear files I have were merchandise exclusively made for the art exhibitions (obviously in Japanese, so not 100% sure)

The following link is a random blog (I think it's a blog?) of someone in Japan who went to the Art Exhibit. I only post it because they have a scan of one of my clear files

Also someone commented about how good it looked

Another website I found had something translate to: "These goods are sold exclusively at the venue(referring to the art exhibition)"

So I would assume it was the only way to get them

I guess that would put these into a convention type bonus item? Similar to something you could only get at Pax, or comicon etc.

Not super rare, but still hard to find

I have a feel that is not even remotely close to what it is actually saying at all. Autotranslate sucks it big time trust me.

Yeah I know autotranslate is bad but it's all I got. I was kind of hoping you could take a look at the other websites and give me your opinion on it.
