Since I took pics of a bunch of prints and posters yesterday, I decided to pull out some more posters out of storage and take more pics. Sine of these are pretty common, I think; there are also some rare ones in there though. Some are double-sided and I took pics of both sides. Anyway here's some more of my junk. Hope you like the pics:

This one I already posted, but I took a better picture, and this one is really one of my favorites. It's one of my personal grail pieces:

and these are just a couple of little plushies that just happened to be in front of me when I was taking pics of the posters:

As usual I'm overly impressed.

By far, from a purely aesthetic point of view, the Marvel vs Capcom poster is just absolutely S T U N N I N G. Are those all real signatures on the MW2 poster? Jeesh...!

One more quick update. My Assassin's Creed III Steelbook Employee Gift Set. It includes one faux-wood case, 7 Steelbooks, a handful of mini-colonial flags (with ACIII logo), and one oversize poster flag. Ubisoft partnered with Gamestop to give these sets as gifts to retail staff at Gamestop stores. Each employee would get a free Steelbook from the set. The rest of the set was then either split between staff, put on display at the store, given to customers, or just straight up destroyed. Hope you like the pics:

Hi,

No, the signatures are not original. This was a promo poster that was given away to people that pre-ordered the game at North American Gamestop stores. The thing about that poster is that it was only given to people that pre-ordered the game well in advance of the game's release.

I think they only had it available right when the game was announced or right as soon as it was available for pre-order. They didn't give it away at any other point, and I do believe that it had a single print run.

I'm also fairly certain that it had a low print run because I believe it was never restocked; and I'm positive that each store had few of these available.

Therefore, I'm pretty sure that this is one of the rarer Gamestop pre-order posters. I bet that most people that pre-ordered the game, never even knew this poster existed.

lol "My Other Car Is A Warthog" plate holder is freaking awesome.

What is the left 4 dead thing you've got though. Looks awesome but I can't quite tell what exactly it is

Hi there, the L4D2 item is a launch kit that was created to celebrate the release of the game and to create awareness for the product. The case is made of cardboard and it's made to look like one of those "In case of emergency, break glass" cases that you see in some buildings. Inside the case is a mini-baseball bat, a bunch of Mardi Gras-style beads, and a postcard. It's an outstanding piece, and quite rare as well. You just don't see these anymore. Most are completely lost. These were meant to be used as intended, then discarded. It's one of the best things in my entire collection.

Wow, that's awesome! Valve has the coolest stuff!!

Can I ask how you got something like that. As I browse the boards I can't help but wonder how people get things like this and press kits and other awesome collectables. The bat says Gamestop on it. Did you work for gamestop when you got it?

Edit: Forgot to mention how sick that original Silent Hill poster is. That game is one of my first memories of a video game, playing it with my father when I was a young kid.
