Support NeoGAF

If you're going to troll your fans, at least call it the Iconic Edition.

It will be a serious universal injustice if they manage to sell even one of these.

Oh, Ubisoft!

 

[jennetics]

I wonder how the meetings for these special editions went. And I wonder at which point the devs are like, "fuuuuuuu we were so close to just releasing this with no issues".

Get your head out of your buttocks, Ubisoft.

 

[frontovik]

You and your outrageous editions, Ubisoft.

 

[sammex]

Certificate of Authenticity.

You know, cos of all the replica/knock offs that'll be out there.

 

[Lucreto]

73cm statue for €799

I love these expensive collectors Editions but that's too rich for me.

I will get the normal Dawn of the Creed Edition.

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

Im feeling a bit of anger in the pit of my stomach. Just seeing that a $800 product that doesnt contain all the shit from the less expensive counter parts. Ffs, just have 3 separate products with slightly different content at the same price.

Because you'd actually want three Bayek statues of various sizes?

Somebody explain to me what's so bad about different packages having different superfluous stuff in them, please.

 

[Alcotholic]

Also, I wont believe anyone if they told me that gamers outside of neogaf are interested in this.

 

[MoFoJones99]

This is all because of Clara

 

[Audioboxer]

What the fuck Ubisoft?

 

[Data West]

he looks whiter in the statue

Its not about the packages being different with superfluous stuff in it, its about the price point.

Edit: i guess I didnt understand the statues were the same. My point still stands that this shit is too expensive.

 

[brawly]

Does it come with a trained egyptian pet eagle?

 

[Dynomutt]

This shit better come with the power of Set himself.

 

[Phyla]

For that money I could fly to Egypt tomorrow, spend a week in a five star resort and get a statue of my own image erected on a local town square.

 

[Caronte]

Milk those whales Ubi.

 

[Currygan]

It doesn't have the eagle skull amulet. Preorder canceled

 

[Turbo Killer]

There must be a market for these, otherwise why would they create it? I wonder how much it will be discounted when it doesn't sell.

It doesn't have the eagle skull amulet. Preorder canceled

It does in resin.

 

[Vandiger]

Also, I wont believe anyone if they told me that gamers outside of neogaf are interested in this.

Figurine collectors? Thats the market they sell this stuff.

 

[Razmos]

There's the Ubisoft I know and loathe

 

[NeonBlack]

Does it come with the iconic hidden blade?

 

[realwords]

What's the hubbub about? If you don't like it, don't buy it. Some of you have spent $800 total on a wasted form of entertainment or hobby.

 

[Pyccko]

Not sure who needs a 2 and a half foot statue of assassin man in their house, but hey if they want to spend $800 on it, that's none of my business.

 

[friskykillface]

$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Holy $hit

I wish I had that kind of money to spend , I'd be spending it on other stuff though

 

[Bliddo]

Can't wait for the next Jimquisition

 

[Azull]

$999.99 CAD!?!? Yo what the fuck ubisoft.

 

[Spacechode]

do you get a stake in the company or something

absolutely ridiculous, I hope no one buys this

 

[EmiPrime]

Can't wait for the next Jimquisition

I hope there are enough forum posts defending this for the aristocrat to make an appearance.

 

[D4Danger]

Microsoft: £449 Xbox
Ubisoft: hold my beer

 

[Goose_Se7en]

Does it come with a Scorpio?

In fact, it comes with the Scorpion King.

 

[Crazy Diamond]

I guess their new logo represents them losing their shit, which is why it looks like a toilet being flushed.

 

[KingBroly]

For $700...and you don't even get everything

 

[WooHooAlex]

I'll take 5.

 

[xintin]

I am convinced a good 40% of that extra year was spent in marketing meetings deciding just how much they thought they could charge for this nonsense.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

xD

 

[StalkerUKCG]

For Comparison here is the other smaller statue

 

[Mexen]

What's the secret to being a rich gamer?

 

[Vital Tundra]

All that is probably actually worth like, $99.99.

 

[Trident7]

why would you need 2 of the amulets one in resin and one not in resin in the legendary edition and why also would you need 2 smaller statues included the legendary edition when you have the 73cm statue in resin?

That would make no sense to me to include everything in that £700 edition

 

[Nkcell]

In for 5x copies of the 700 dollar version

 

[halfbeast]

It better come with a ticket to Egypt.

out of curiosity I checked the prices for a return flight. it's 150 bucks cheaper than the legendary edition...

 

[Retro Edge]

800€.

Well, one year without Assassin's Creed, they have to get the money back somehow....

 

[Tambini]

Standard Edition
Deluxe Edition
Gold Edition
God's Edition (Not to be confused with Gold Edition)
Dawn of the Creed Edition
Dawn of the Creed Edition Legendary (Not to be confused with Dawn of the Creed Edition)
Kill me Edition

[ronaldthump]

I'll just buy this game from PSN and that's that. $60 or under

 

[akileese]

Statue and figure collectors. They exist and they're crazy people who buy $1500 Batman statues.

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

If you merely think that it's expensive, then fair enough. But that resin statue is 73cm in size, and this is about how it's usually priced.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

the question I then have is though is that will the resin statue be worth the cost when it's less than the typical example plus packed in with a game and other goodies?

I just can't recall the last time a premium statue was actually worth the extra money =/

These kinda things are mostly about supply and demand, yar? Like that other statue is 350 in quantity while this one is 999. And that one is Chun-Li and Bayek is "who?" I suppose an actual figure collector would judge for themselves, but I personally don't care about these stuff so I can't really say whether Ubisoft is overvaluing or undervaluing the worth of their franchise, here.

Then what's left is how much trust you have for Ubi Workshop (Ubisoft merchandise store that also produce and sell most of these CE paraphernalia separately) and their Certificate of Authenticity to put out a quality product.

 

[LeonSPBR]

Goddammit ubisoft why?? Why it's so expensive??

 

[SebastianM]

wouldn't display that shit in my living room even if Ubisoft themselves sent me a check for $800, what a disaster of a company ffs.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

The price of an upper mid range PC, crazy. It must be nice being rich.
