And I use them to buy stuff for my collection, I know that's idiot but I'm trying to get all expensive stuff before being 18, when my money will be needed to pay everything else. Also all the stuff I will have collected could be useful one day if money aren't enough, even if I hope to keep my collection on the shelves all my life. Luckily on christmas and birthday I am able to buy more items, like I did last time with all my press kits (100 each one, not ebay prices of corse).
I spent just one time all my monthly gain for one edition, as I always look for good bargains and when I can get a lot of stuff for a good price I pay in installments.
If I had endless money like many other members here my collection would probably fill half of my house, but it doesn't go that way.
My latest super exclusive thread is the result of four 100 euro monthly installments plus some stuff I got before, otherwise would have been easy to post ads everywhere saying I can pay 1000 for a damn crimson book

no way did you spend 20 euro for 4 figure from asia
but when i think about it that sounds about right

Two figures. One was 100 and the other one 60. 25 for the steelbook this morning and I'm over this month. Next month I'll pay about 50 for mail forwarding services to send me those boxes from hong kong, canada and USA (the AC2 limited was from a guy there) but I should be able to get 100 somehow (something remaining from christmas and more) for the first installment.

People standing in wait list is fine with me! I'm just saying that i will get this items in my collection at some time, that's all :-)

I't depends on wath the seller ore dealer wan't for it, know that the items are reare and probebley will be expensive.
Haven't seen the crimson book for seale jet.... so don't know about that one. The bust went for about 600 dollars on ebay i while ago, and the UK press kit i have seen on ebay 2-3 times, well overprised :-)

So i must wait and see until i get an uportunety to get them ;-)

Here's the fact, Crimson book was seen two times on ebay since today. First time I don't remember what price it was but probably not too much, should have been when the game came out so 2009. Second one went up for bid last February and was bought by Tiao for 520 euro, a member of this forum who has probably the most complete collection in the world. Almost every picture on google is from his flickr album.
I'm italian and this press kit is italian, I've posted ads in almost every local forum, ad website and so on but no one has still answered me and I'm almost sure will not.
A friend of mine who's a blogger told me that Ubisoft still has some of them in storage so think about it: usually AC pkits are limited to 200-300, this probably was 50 or less as Italy has much less important people/reviewers/blogger than France and other countries. Let's say 20 were sent and 2 sold after some time. 18 people know perfectly they have a treasure in their hand and most of them will bring it inside their grave, other half will sell it in the next years, 30 more are in a warehouse waiting for an italian guy to create a huge videogame blog and be worthy to receive the treasure. World has 7 billion people and thousands of them dream the Crimson book at night hoping to get their hands on it.
All this just to let you imagine the price that kit will reach next time will be on ebay.

Not to jump in the middle of a bunch of assassin's but have you ever tried contacting Ubisoft italy about the one's in storage?

Obviously they're not going to give them out so easily but I would love to know what they planned to do with them.

If I try to contact them they wouldn't probably either answer me, as we are in Italy and easiest way is to ignore everything. My friend has just managed to get an AC1 pk (the one with the feather) and he could get the Crimson book soon, but waited for years before they gave him a chance.
