New and question for all AC collectors

FCBier_NL · #1 06-16-2013, 08:05 AM

Hi All,

I'm from Holland an want to say it's is absolutely great to check out all of the collections here!

I collected some stuff a couple of years ago but not as seriously as some of you over here.

I see a lot of people here have very good knowledge about everything that can be collected concerning Assassins Creed. I wondered if you guys could tell me what an Official Hidden Blade Replica would be worth?

Thanks in advance for helping me out.

subscribed to your tread as I'm interested with that hidden blade, I only saw that once on the internet before. I also want to know more about item and I'm sure someone can shed some light here.

Interesting, very interesting, hopefully I can own it soon

Its was part of Launch kit as special gift for developers/distributors. The special gift contained this replica, venetian mask, ring and belt. Replica and mask are ultra rare, although I know guys who has ring and belt. From what I know, this items were listed on ebay just once, but I'm not sure about that. Price for this itself is about 200-300 euro depending on buyers knowledge. Complete set could go up to at least 1000 eur I guess imho. But you can still sell this to me for 5 eur and shipping is on you

:p :rofl:

That's not true.

This Hidden Blade replica was intended to be a prize for the winners of an Ubisoft contest in France, on 2009.
(It was open to everyone in France having an Uplay account, the competition consisted to kill as many Borgia's courier in a limited time, in Assassin's Creed 2. http://www.ps3gen.fr/assassin-creed-...lite-8191.html)

This contest got cancelled because most of the Hidden blades came at the Ubisoft offices damaged or broken. After recovering few pieces that were in good conditions, they thrown the rest in the trash.

Aha, my bad sorry then. But as you said, contest got cancelled so they gave it out as I said I think, someone said that to me. Anyway, I forgot about joural.

Interesting, that's a nice Replica! Never saw it before.

Thanx for all the information guys.

I won it during a twitter contest when AC 2 was being released.
I know for sure it wasn't really part of a package because they gave away quite some rings (I have that one as well only the wax is broken) and belts.

The main price was this replica and the second price was a PS3 system with a Black Edition of AC2. So they valued it quite highthemselves.

It was send to me in this box, and I'm glad I received it al in piece!

We'd need Lily here though.

Not an AC fan, but this is so beautiful! I imagine this being a grail for hardcore fans!

That's weird - I just saw one of these on Ebay the other day. And my local Gamestop had 2 of them available for purchase on release day of AC3. I'm not sure if they were the exact same ones, but they looked pretty similar. I was going to pick one up, but after spending the $100+ on the limited edition, I figured another $40 or so was just too much. I haven't seen any for sale anywhere else since then though, so can't vouch for the rarity.

Edit: Oh, just saw the "limited edition" numbers, I don't know if the ones they were selling at Gamestop had those or not... I'm thinking probably not... carry on and nice find!
