    i got my newsletter emailed today with news about the new leather belts and bracelts, but that isn’t the best piece of news i got from that.

    the best news is: Ubiworkshop will be at the 2012 Toronto Fan Expo!

     

    so, here’s a heads up to all ac fans and ubiworkshop loyalists living in the east coast (or even farther).

    here’s a chance to finally see these nice people in person (and maybe score some more of those desmond hoodies that they might still have in stock!)

    JD’s arms probably feel so tired right now that even lifting an empty box feels like a full one. Imagine their disappointment when they find that all the cardboard boxes he brought are empty… :-$–

    that new, limited tee just convinced me to really go now.

     

    and, depending on what the staff’s response will be, i’ll be a nice guy and do something for two folks here…

    If one of the spots hasn’t been filled yet can you get me one of those shirts (I’m in the US)? @pedgz

    I’m guessing the size is the same as the ones in the store. But I’ll take any size that is left but prefer S or M (hey, even XS if need be).

    well, v1s…

    1. we still have to find out if it’s one per person or not; and,

    2. i was actually going for either a) first two to message me; or, b) two random

     

    but…

    Thanks pedgz. I hope for the best!

     

    The best for all of us I mean. :-$–

    wish I could go but living on the other side of the pond kind of stops me, still hope you’ll have a lot of fun!

    well, well…

    i just got home and found Hassan-i_Sabbah’s reply to my query. so…

     

    first two members to private message me (who is DEFINITELY NOT GOING to the expo), i will buy a copy of the limited tee on their behalf. we’ll discuss details (shhipping, payment, etc.) via PM.

    Hey @pedgz… probably an impossible request and I’ll understand if you can’t do this (long lines, other booths to visit, possibility that they won’t be doing signings, etc). But is it possible for you to get autographs from all the Ubiworkshop Teammates at the booth?

    If yes, what would be a good thing for them to sign? (something that’ll be visible, but also so they don’t wear off easily).

    P.s. Initially I was embarrased to ask this but I figure this is my only chance. So last but not least can I also have your autograph too? I think your real siggy plus @pedgz would be wonderful. But @pedgz works too.

    @mysticheero they said it was exclusively done for the expo and will not be sold anywhere else ;__;

    @v1sav1s lovely shot, looks awesome (the goodies and the ppl too XD)

    just got back from the expo. i figured it’s better to go there today instead of tomorrow to avoid the large crowds. i dropped by the ubisoft booth and met the ubiworkshop folks. great bunch of people, very accomodating and courteous. bought some shirts (@pacu89 , PM sent.). i attached a couple of photos to this post , but they’re pretty much the same as the one posted above. still, it’s cool to have my own version (apologies for the blurriness, my arms are beat).

    as for the merchandise, pretty much what you see in the pictures are what they are selling – which was a good thing because when i found out the price of the limited edition tee, i knew i had to hold back and stick to my budget. sorry follks, no desmond hoodies. only beaked hoodies were on hand, plus some silver ezio belt buckles. there were also some first edition encyclopedia, but i don’t think you guys still want that with the second edition coming out soon.

    one interesting tee available at the booth was the assassin troll tshirt which, as of this typing, is sold out on all sizes at the online store. (see here: http://store.ubiworkshop.com/assassins-creed-army-of-trolls-t-shirt-men/ ). good thing i had a good memory of what was in stock and not online, and which ones were on my wishlist.

    overall, a pleasant experience meeting the ubiworkshop people, and i do hope that my suggestion will become a reality (ezio minstrel rocksmith shirt). it’s small encounters like these that make conventions memorable.

    My arms would be shaking too if I met them. How much did the shirt cost? Were they well-versed with the cash register? :P

    they were limited edition tees at limited edition prices (read: 2.26 times the price of the regular shirts).
