Zelda Breath of the Wild Special/Master Editions, Amiibo- Discussion

I would definitely consider myself a "tremendous Zelda fan", but the only difference between the Regular and Limited Edition is the cover, right? I just don't understand the $40 price hike, I guess.

Supposedly all the pages are in Gold on the LE.

probably because people paid it without batting an eye, don't you think?

 
If I end up not keeping it either I'm giving a friend dibs or it'll end up on craigslist. One of my actual friends wants it... I'm not just going to toss it at some random person on here who I have no clue about.

Anyways, paid almost everything off on Amazon with credit... should be done with it all next week, finally.

Yeah, why bother helping some random person on here? I doubt any random people on here spent their time and effort providing you with the information which allowed you to secure a pre-order in the first place. ;)

 
damn I've kinda been out of the loop for a while on Nintendo things. how long did the Master (and I guess Special) editions last online and have there been any restocks that lasted minutes since?

and same goes for Arts & Artifacts LE.  I was somewhat disappointed I forgot to get the regular ver (don't think LE was announced) over BF when Amazon had a promo making it around $25.  trying to get Hyrule Historia LE was a nightmare. I recall going to several BNs trying to place preorders only to receive actual cancellation letters in the mail

Master lasted between 6 minutes to 30 minutes depending on retailers. Special Edition lasted between 3 hours to 18 hours depending on retailers. And no restocks other than cancelled orders.

What other retails had the master edition other than BB?

Heads up regarding Target Special Editions. They're the only retailer on the list provided by Nintendo that will be selling the Special Edition that hasn't taken any preorders yet. Well, it looks like they won't be taking any preorders. Instead they will have a limited quantities in store and online come launch day.

For anyone else who likes throwing money at anything with the word Zelda on it, this Zelda chess set is apparently finally coming out in a few months:

I'm guessing it will go on sale eventually. I'll wait for that.

I played a small demo of Zelda at PAX. You can read my thoughts in the Switch preorder thread (along with pics!)

Well they didn't make Nintendo's list this time though. They actually were on Nintendo's list for Majoras Mask. I know we already have 2 other retailers not on the list take preorders (BH photo and Nebraska Furniture Mart) but I still believe they just put preorders up prematurely and aren't actually getting any.

I can't get the site to load but here's the announcement URL

I have consistently told myself over and over that I don't need to collect these things. To resist the urge each time a Zelda one is on sale. But I'll be damned if that ain't cute as hell.

Just when I thought I was safe (outside of the Piggyback guides, should they ever actually show up for sale!)
And you just know that the DX version is a must because of the horse.

Hopefully Nendoroid Link won't actually release until a while after March.

 
I thought I liked certain Nendoroids, but then I realized it's a collection of chibi characters which I actually hate.  We're just suckers for figures of the characters we like.

So how do I go about directly preordering it? Every time I've ordered a Nendoroid it's been from TOM. Will I need a reshipping company?

Not at all, they will directly ship it to US residents as long as it's not a regional exclusive (which it shouldn't be). On top of that, it should be available everywhere.

Also, a lot of people like ordering from TOM but I'd personally recommend anime-island for a US shop or amiami for a Japanese shop unless there is an exclusive TOM part included. Anime-island have some great support staff, but you are required to put at least 10% down at time of pre-order. Amiami doesn't charge until it ships and has excellent packaging.

 
Totally clueless when it comes to this - do you think both stores you mention will carry it as well?

Yeah. Almost all stores should have this in stock. Even US retailers like gamestop will probably have this in stock, since they sold the last two link nendoroids.

For GameStop is it a "eventually they will have it" or will they have it when it launches?

Thanks for answering my questions!

They might have it a month later than most, and they should probably have both regular and DX versions since they have both versions of the link figma (figma and nendoroids are from the same maker).

 
Wonder when US stores will open up preorders?

geekstop711 said:
It's for EMS shipping, which isn't a bad deal. EMS takes less than a week in most cases, which is pretty freakin' amazing. If you decide to get it elsewhere you can get registered SAL for about $16ish but it takes 2 to five weeks.

I really want the dx version. Probably safer to pre order now instead of waiting for it cheaper in the US. Does anyone know if they will bring both version to the US or just the regular version?
 
Do they charge your card immediately and not let you cancel? I think TOM was like that. I don't want to preorder something with $20 shipping if I can't cancel it.
 
While I really shouldn't post again... I should probably help some people out. ~_~

jacknicklson said:
They charge $20 shipping, no thanks
Click to expand...
They charge 2,000 yen, which is different. Why? Well, there are exchange rates that come into play. At the current rate it's about $17.6 to have it shipped, which isn't too bad when you consider it's EMS. Most of them offered in NA might have better shipping prices, but inflated prices.

For instance, the LoZ Majora's Mask one launched at, but it had a MSRP of 4,167 yen. This currently translates to $36.7 and with the shipping it's $54.5. The GameStop one is showing $46.99 as the original price, so you're only paying $10~ over, not including other possible things like shipping and finding it. Different ones have different rates, like I think getting Batman from Target is 1:1 and so forth, but I'm too lazy to do the math.

Click to expand...
So far only a few have appeared readily available at places like GameStop, Walmart and Target. Like I've seen Princess Zelda at a few places, Batman is at Target, GameStop has Mega Man and Isabella and so forth. However, I've also never seen Mario, Luigi, Kirby, Meta Knight, Batman (Dawn), X, Mega Man NT Warrior, any of the Fire Emblem ones and so forth. There are WAY more exceptions than included ones.

Impossible to say if we will even get a US version. The best advice I can give is to get the DX now if you want it instead of fretting over a couple bucks. Especially since these things are prone to getting Chinese knockoffs and in some cases sell out/become problematic.

They charge you a couple weeks before it ships and it's at the current exchange rate. So if it's $60 today, it might be $70 at the time or purchase or $50. Obviously it will not be that extreme, but you get the point. They're also VERY firm about that no cancel policy.

- How can I cancel my order?
We apologize, but we do not accept cancellation requests.

They don't charge you until a few weeks before shipping

I chose PayPal as payment method on AmiAmi but they did not attempt to charge me. The status shows shipping and total charges TBD.

Is that normal? Won't I have to approve the charge with PayPal at some point?
