The Rising Sun Collection released in 2015, a Japanese-themed collection full of high-value skins. It is home to the AUG Akihabara Accept, a Covert with anime magazine-cover artwork, and the AK-47 Hydroponic, an early Classified AK that trades at four to five figures.
This is a serious collector set. Both headliners run into the thousands.

A Japanese-themed collection from Consumer up to Covert.
The Akihabara Accept is decorated with a heat-transfer vinyl of an anime magazine cover, a flat printed medium that is unique in the AUG catalogue, and it is one of the most recognised AUG skins in the game at around €3,000 in Factory New. The AK-47 Hydroponic sits alongside it, a bamboo motif in metallic green over the AK's preserved wood-grain furniture, and Factory New copies run past €4,600.
"Yatta. Akihabara Accept and Hydroponic are two of the priciest non-knife skins on their weapons."
