    Amazon hvae it for Pre-Order at the normal price of £10.99, which you can't complain about because you're a dirty, filthy amiibo-owning piece of crap just like the rest of us now :D WALLOW! WALLOW IN THE GLORIOUS MUD!


    Love that song...

    You are a kind sir sir, any chance of finding me a non gameslop cloud preorder, then you'd be a very kind sir indeed.

    Funny you should say that, HUKD just flagged Cloud and Corrin on Amazon :
    Corrin - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B071956VLC/?tag=ho01f-21

    Cloud - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B072F34KKY

    (unless you were being sarcastic - did I miss a post where the Pikmin was already flagged?)

    I'm hoping for a bundle pack, like the two for the 3DS Kirby releases.
    I'll probably take a while to get playing it but it does look fantastic

    Just received the last Breath of the Wild amiibo I wanted, the Guardian. Imported from Japan but arrived quickly, the parcel was Huge! The box for the amiibo itself is massive, way bigger than even the Monster Hunter ones. I was sure I'd be faced with a customs charge but luckily they didn't bother (maybe because it weighs so little). I paid just under €50 (eek) for it, but I believe it was €24.99 or something when it was available here? So not too bad considering postage was included and it came in perfect condition. :)

    The Guardian Amiibo is fantastic though. Legs are fully poseable too.

    You had them reserved, right? Did they sell them to you for €10 or €17? It should have been €10.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,681 ✭✭✭Wolverine359


    Wait are the zeldas out today? I preordered them at GS but completely forgot about the release date.

    17. Do they have a pre-order promise tho?

    When you pre-order, and pay a sum of money, you seal a contract for goods at that price point.
    Now, some places have price promises that, if the item is discounted in the mean time, they'll honour the changed price, but it is not supposed to be permitted the other way around.
    You order @ €10 you get the goods for €10


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    Well if it's like argos, where they don't take the money until you arrive to buy it, you pay the price on the day officially.
    But in Argos, I have only ever once been asked to pay more than the price at time of reservation and that was when I couldn't prove what price I reserved it at due to them not sending me a confirmation... Sorry Lucina, but you're not worth the extra 4 quid!


  • Registered Users Posts: 482 ✭✭souleater3000


    I've got onto Gamestop to see. Who knows if I'll get a reply but we'll see.

    Banjo ask them to check their price changes on the system next time if the price is lower on the system for the date you said you made the reservation they have to give you the lower price ;) Just for future reference.

    Either way the new amiibo look great. Thank God he has a real face unlike Smash Link haha.

    Just received notification from the Nintendo UK store that the Guardian amiibo I ordered has been dispatched.


  • Registered Users Posts: 69 ✭✭LP64


    Have an unopened Link Ocarina of Time amiibo to swap looking for Guardian, Toon Zelda Archer Link or Horseback Link, don't mind if they're opened.

    Hi Robbing bandit. Do you still have it. In holidays in france and a shop near me says it has aecher and rider available. Would you he interested in a trade of i can get my hand on one. Missing the ocarina of time one. Thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,182 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Sorry have gotten them since that post was made, I seem to have misplaced my opened one too so I am gonna keep this one as it seems to be impossible to get now, I'd probably swap for a toon zelda sealed as I have no zelda figure only ganondorf sheik and link ones. Apologies for this.


  • Registered Users Posts: 69 ✭✭LP64


    You mean the zelda wind waker 30th anniversary?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,182 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit
