Are You A Gaming Collector? Part 1: Assassin’s Creed
If you collect gaming merchandise we want to see your collection

What happens when you mix cool Collector’s Editions of games, a passion for a certain gaming licence and a tendency to collect things since childhood?
Well you get something like my Assassin’s Creed collection.
Yes I have Big Daddies, Brothers In Arms figurines, and tins galore, but pride of place (and the only bit of my gaming collection allowed in the house and not the garage) is my collection of Assassin’s Creed gear.
It includes a foam AC2 sign I got from a retail store, both white and black Ezio figurines, Altair LE mini figure from the US Collector’s Edition (which I placed on a castle music box), regular Altair figurine, 2 different LE tins, 3 different 360 faceplates including one I had custom painted, 2 different comics, the French graphic novel Desmond, and the novel Assassin’s Creed: Renaissance (which I reviewed here).
The centrepiece of my collection is the Limited Edition life-sized replica Ezio hidden blade, complete with arm and frilly sleeve, which I won with my entry on a historical scenario for a future Assassin’s game.
How About Yours?
I know that there are other collectors out there who would put my modest collection to shame, and we at OXCGN would love to see and publish details of other collections.
If you have a gaming collection, large or small, write to us about it and send some photos to this address: xboxoz360_comps@yahoo.com.au
We will choose some of them to put up on the site: after all a collection that never gets seen is not as fun!
Besides, you never know we may have something for those that send us details and photos of their collection.

could u please please please please tell me where u got the hidden blade PLEASEEEE!!!!
It was something I won from Ubisoft Australia after AC2. It is Limited Edition, and numbered on the bottom so don’t know where you will find one
It sure is cool though and comes with the statue hand.
Hey! Great Review….I was wondering if you could get some High-res shots of the Replica Hidden Blade. I think that is really interesting. I would like to look at it in detail, instead of that fuzzyish shot that you had posted.
