Grr you have the pax ac3 pre order t shirt

I have those post cards too. They gave them away at the Midnight launch of the game at Gamestop, as well as some AC-branded cookies. I ate one of the cookies, and the other one that I had eventually broke.

I accidentally broke it.

I just noticed that the throwing knives on your Attukus Ezio statue are broken. Bummer. This seems like a common problem with that statue though. I bought one a couple of weeks ago and mine had two of the same knives broken. Supposedly, all of the last few that are floating around at French shops are broken too. I returned mine. I'm hoping an undamaged statue will turn up soon. All of the ones currently on eBay are broken too.

Did it accidentally break in your mouth?

lol. It was a good cookie for sure. The one I broke though was already like a year old by the time I broke it. It fell from my shelf on to the floor and shattered. I was pretty bummed 'cause I loved that damn thing. It was sealed in a wrapper too. Oh well. I'm pretty sure I'll never see another one of those ever again. I'm sure most everyone ate theirs. They were handed out by Ubisoft reps. They weren't fan-made or anything like that.

I'd say pic or it didn't happen
But I believe that UBisoft do some crazy things so can believe that

Yeah, I know. I feel like a dumbass 'cause I neglected to take a pic of it. But believe me, they're real. I'm sure someone, somewhere has one still. As odd as it may sound, the cookies are totally licensed promo items. That's, in fact, why I decided to keep one for my collection. It's a round, maybe 3" diameter, hard yellow sugar cookie with hard, white icing. The branding was on the icing. They each came sealed in little plastic baggies. The logo on the cookie was the same as on the post card cover (2 hands shaking.) The people that handed them out even came in a big yellow, similarly branded van, and they were all wearing matching yellow shirts with the same art. It was pretty funny.

@MortalMonday Yeah, so sad. I knew 4 of the daggers were broken before I bought it. But got it for $225 (including shipping from Canada) so I jumped on it.

@wty4ka The pamphlet, postcards, and most definitely the shirt go on ebay occasionally. Here's someone selling the postcards: Ebay #230884208595
And pamphlet: 320979889552

The shirt should be easy to find.

The Rebuilding Brotherhood campaign is definitely real. I remember finding a vid of the company contracted by Ubisoft explaining the whole process of the feigned riot. The "rioters" would be found, in yellow-themed outfits, shouting and holding protest signs about how the Brotherhood Multiplayer will force gamers to cooperate with and/or apology to each other for their in-game murders. Never had a chance to try out those cookies though.

Uea I know about the postcards and pamphlet
I have put off buying the pamphlet as UBisoft actually have uploaded it onto their website for us to print PFF ourselves
How kind

Hey everyone! I couldn't stop thinking about all of you and this magical place. Made a wish that I could come back here and it came true! Glad to finally share a small update with you.

The Witcher 2 Dark Edition artbook is one of the best artbooks I've ever picked up. And for a great price too! I dare say that it even surpasses the Skyrim artbook in some ways. I was tempted to get a special Polish magazine to go with it, but decided to hold off on it.

Special thanks to Ryaku for the PoP kit and preorder bonus.

You're the best!

+1 Charisma! You'll notice the broken "thumbs up" hand. It didn't bother me so I got it from ebay and made a replacement. I didn't have anything to sculpt with but really wanted to give old Vault Boy a hand. hehe But it it sure made me feel like I was scrounging for supplies in the Capital Wasteland and stumbled on a broken, yet salvageable trinket. Don't worry my poor son, Daddy'll come back to you.

This pic was on my computer for weeks and I wanted to delete it. So figured I post it before I do. Looks great, feels great, wear whenever I run in the cold.

Got lots of AC stuff but don't have time to take pics... lighting is also less than ideal cause of the weather. But I bet you're all tired of seeing AC stuff anyway, so it can wait. Thanks for looking and hope you have a safe and fun holiday!
