I thought that this collection was worthy of being given a little more exposure, so I posted a few links up on Twitter to your Flickr photostream!

Hey Gimini, thank you so very much! This is very kind of you! You're the best!

That's an awe-inspiring Collection you have there Chau! This is the first time I've seen some of these items. I had a few questions for you and hope you don't mind answering them. I'm an AC collector myself and hope to gain new insight into easier/cheaper method of obtaining rare items. If not, I understand and you can just skip the rest of this post.

I was wondering if you could tell us how you obtained the art prints + CoAs? I remember Ubisoft sold a few of these prints at art exhibitions a few years back (the ones I'm aware of took place in France and another in Japan) but I was unable to visit them. Is there any other way to buy these prints?

And I'm sure you get this question sometimes, but are you a journalist for a website/paper? It seems like the only way to obtain these press kits is to either dish out vast amounts of money on ebay or if Ubi sends you one.

Do you have close-up pictures of "Ezio's Fury" facial sculpt? All the vids and pics I've come across so far don't show the face directly.

If you've reached this far, thank you for taking the time to read this post and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Al

Hi V1sav,

Regarding the Art prints, I got them at different places. FYI, all art prints come with a certificate of Authentification with limited number written on it. The "Ezio Rose" and the "jumping altair" I got them through "Arludik" limited at 149 each. I believe they are still some available via their website.http://www.arludik.com/indexeng2.htm
Arludik do most of the Assassin Creed exhibition in Paris France. They also sell "unique" painting going from as low as 250 euros to couple thousands. Last time I checked there was only couple left and not the most prettiest one... http://www.arludik.com/indexeng2.htmThey also partnered with a store in France called "FNAC". They sold the 4 limited prints at 119 each pieces and there is only 2kind of prints left still available but FNAC do not ship overseas so you need to know someone who lives in France to get them... http://recherche.fnac.com/Search/Sea...1&submitbtn=Ok

And finally the other 3 prints limited at 110 each from the artist Martin Deschambault were available on the Ubisoft store website France and some other European countries. If you were located in the US or non european zone, there was no way you could order these prints unfortunately. These prints are pretty amazing and I believe they sold out fast... I got lucky to even get them... Your only chance for these prints would be on ebay and still... =(

I am not a journalist or working in the media/video game industry at all. All the press kits I have are the fruits of a lot of dedication and hard work. I managed to sneak some on ebay but most of them were connections I managed to make online...

Regarding the Crouching Altair figurine I mentioned it in another thread and here's what I wrote (copy and paste):

" The figurine is indeed pretty rare although I have seen couple in the past few months on ebay. So from what I have heard, it is a very rare item (as rare as the AC press kits) and it is definitely a must own if you are a die hard AC fan. This being said, it has never been sold to the public. According to some AC collector site, this figurine was targeted for the Spain market (and given as pre-order bonus) like ours AC1 Collector figurine that came with the game (standing) but the in the middle of the distribution, editors decided to drop that figurine released due to the stand and eventually the "square box" it came with it. It wasn’t the right proportion and they went for the one we all know (Altair standing in the collector edition). A lot of people are wondering how many were made but some forum are advancing the number 100. I have personally no idea about that number but all I know is that it might be close to 100 or less. This figurine has been given away to AC competition winners and Ubisoft employees to thank them for their great work. Other than that and ebay this figurine is VERY rare! Last two one I saw went for 720 euros and 500 euros respectively. The price will vary depending on the condition and if the figurine comes with the original box."

I hope I answered most of your question and feel free to message me if you need more info.

Thanks again for dropping by!

Thanks very much for the info! This helps a lot. For now I am saving up for other things but hope to purchase one of the arludik pieces in the future. I did manage to read your post about "crouching altair" from another thread but I guess I didn't edit my post in time. Is it possible for you to provide a close-up pic of "Ezio's Fury" face sculpt? Is the paint job very similar to the one depicted in prototype pics?
