It’s possible that UbiWorkshop is letting other people sell their stuff (confirmation needed). In any case, the hard-to-replicate items have a label in the back of the neck that says “UbiWorkshop”.

Seriously?! Are the fakes numbered as well? They have the Ubisoft Guest Artust embossed seal?!

@spartan501 even if that is what they’ve done then its illegal without Ubiworkshop’s permission.

Having said that I’ve seen lots of fakes being sold over the internet (ebay is a major port for it). They don’t claim to be Ubiworkshop products, just AC products that they’ve printed themselves, but they use UWS designs

My suggestions:
Aveline’s Hat

Paul Bellamy’s Ring (in silver instead of gold though)

Assassin’s Creed Wristband

Assassin Bracer-instead of hidden blade you could have a hidden compartment for putting things in.

Desmond’s Bag

Glowing Piece of Eden Music Speaker

which is the point: how can anyone tell if they’re fakes or not; or if they’re secondary market resales? like i said, take a certain ubiworkshop tshirt, look at the tshirt brand (not the printed ubiworkshop logo at the inner collar area on some shirts), and they are your standard apparel brand (e.g., alstyle on most of mine). other than the fact that i ordered them from ubiworkshop with matching paypal receipt, there’s no way to differentiate them from the knockoffs (or resales). which is not so good on ubiworkshop’s end ‘coz they provide these great designs, and like i said, i’d support them being they are the authentic stuff, but having no point of comparison to differentiate their wares from the knockoffs is such a crime. do the designs from ubiworkshop have intellectual property/copyright protection on them?

as for the resellers, well, unless ubiworkshop has an exclusivity clause on the products they sell, well, too bad.

to which the suggestion of having a tag or hologram sticker would be helpful. it tells the consumer that a certain product is authentic or not, as well as if it was an item being resold by another store other than the workshop.

oh, and FYI: i was shown the door by the store owner when i tried taking a picture of one shirt (using the excuse i was going to send the pic to a friend who may want me to get that short for her right there on the spot). go figure.

@pedgz sounds like templar espionage to me

@v1sav1s Imitation is usually seen as flattery, unless it gets out of hand and starts eating into the original creator’s revenue. And you’re right, UbiWorkshop could do even better–if they try to fulfill all our wishes, they’ll need a lot more people working for them, which would in turn allow them to make an even bigger splash on the market. This just might make them unstoppable…

@altairisalive they’ve been very busy! They ship out their stuff as soon as they can – they don’t like us waiting any more then we do. And where you are in the world doesn’t matter in how fast they ship it out – just in how long it takes the postal services to deliver it (which isn’t something Ubiworkshop can control).

I have no idea what you’ve ordered but if its more then one item then the hold up may be due to waiting for all of it to be collected together, or because something isn’t availible yet.
