Jak's collection 2.0

[jak_1811]

Hey everyone!
today I suddenly remembered that last time I updated my show off thread was about two months ago. but meanwhile many boxes came to my house and I decided to start collecting editions for Farcry too!
I was also reminded that in my last thread didn't talk at all about myself, so I'll do now
my name is Giacomo, my friends call me Jack or Jak so this became my nick, i'm a 17 old guy hoping to get as soon as possible to 18. I live in Rome, Italy and I think it's the best city in the world: I lived in New York for one year and visited many european and asian cities but my very home is Rome, one mile outside the city I feel myself like a stranger.

the first time I played Assassin's creed was about five years ago, when I got the iphone game (AC altair's chronicles) for free and played it a long time. I didn't liked it so much, but later I casually found a gameplay video of AC2. I fell il love with it, I liked so much how italian cities were represented. so I bought online the first two games and started playing and playing all the day. when brotherhood came out I had preordered it months before so more days in my bedroom playing.
some time later all three games were 100% completed without any mission place or anything else undone, so I wanted to get more from those games and gave a look to collectors editions. my first one was the AC1 limited with big figure, my mom payed it 200 for me as a present for my good marks at school. that was my starting point but since that day I never payed more than those 200 euro for one edition, first of all because I had no enough money in my pocket and then because, still today, I believe it makes no sense paying more than that for a cardboard box with some gadgets inside.
anyway when I became 16 I had the opportunity to get money by my own, right now I'm happily cashing 200 euro per month which are all spent in boxes for my collection...
because of this limited availability of money I started looking for unknown stuff more than wanted and overpriced items, or if I have to get one I never look where everybody else looks. right now I'm trying to get all asian and russian editions of the franchise, I usually pay 20-30 euro for them so this way I can easily afford stuff probably more rare than a press kit or this kind of items.

so enjoy my new items and remember to give a look to the full album here http://www.flickr.com/photos/jak1811/ and my previous thread http://collectorsedition.org/forums/...ead.php?t=9615!

yep it's the russian version of the codex but has a ring binding instead of hardcover... can't say if text inside is the same but think so...

Giacomo = Jacob

Giacobbe is a variant of Jacob

Both are Right
