A lot of people on my timeline have just got this letter.

This sucks.

[SPCTRE]

The lorry! That's how you know the message is legit.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Bad news, but not their fault.

 

[JawzPause]

Who are these losers that are stealing a van full of wii u games?

 

[Vylash]

 

[Pookmunki]

Yep I just got the email too, it was a birthday present for my son too :-(

 

[Mr-Joker]

I knew that guy could not be trusted. >_> <_< >_>

 

[Wildarmsjecht]

Gaming is serious business.

I think the special edition is the one that included a squid amiibo that isn't sold separately.

Next-level amiibo thirst in progress, clearly

 

[Alienous]

This amiibo culture is fucked.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

What an inkcredible turn of events, at least you're going to save a few squid. It's a shame customers will just have to roller and accept this splat in the face.

 

[SmokyDave]

In totally unrelated news, I just bunged 15,000 copies on eBay, so you could always buy one from me.

Oh, I'm also selling a 2013 Scania 320D with a decent trailer on it (lock sadly broken, not sure how) if anyone wants one.

 

[Newtype-001]

I cant stop laughing.

 

[Mpl90]

That sucks for everyone involved

...But I can't shake off the feeling the Rosalina's guy must be involved somehow in this :lol

 

[ODDI]

That demand.

 

[Jintor]

I was going to make a squid/kid joke but this actually super sucks

 

[shiyrley]

...wow

I hope nobody steals the plane that carries the special edition to the Canary Islands. Or the boat that carries the game across the islands to reach mine. Ot the truck that then takes it to the store. lol.

Or my amazon.fr inkling girl amiibo preorder. Please don't steal that.

Pls

 

[Zalman]

I cant stop laughing.

Yeah, this is super hilarious.

 

[JoeM86]

Scalpers will stop at nothing

The thing that sucks is that these people will not be able to get the squid amiibo

 

[Nintendojitsu]

 

[Alienous]

Hopefully the truck driver wasn't hurt.

Do you the thieves planned this out like a GTA V Heist?

 

[Cosmonaut X]

BRERA'S REVENGE!

 

[Molemitts]

This is hilarious.

I'm imagining a criminal gang setting up a heist to get amiibo and sell them all on ebay for $50.

 

[SmithnCo]

You stole all the squids now
Disappointing lots of kids now

 

[pizzacat]

You're a theif now

 

[ec0ec0]

running with those limited squid amiibos

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I don't even understand. Like, what? So weird.

 

[Alienous]

They need to investigate the truck driver's amiibo history.

 

[tkscz]

When should I expect the squid amiibo on UK ebay?

 

[Veritigo_X]

All those amiibos... that's quite the heist.

 

[The Elite]

Their entire allocation?

Wow. That sucks.

So someone just hot wired the truck and took off with it?

 

[Shotgun Kiss]

BRERA'S REVENGE!

Holy shit.

 

[E_Darkness]

Joke is on you GAME, I didn't even order Splatoon!

Spoiler

This kinda sucks despite it sounding a bit comical.

 

[axisofweevils]

Really glad I ordered from the NUK Webstore. Sorry for everyone affected. There's something about GAME and Limited Editions that don't mix.

 

[ec0ec0]

You're a theif now

ahaha

 

[DannyDanger]

I imagine there's some kind of individual identification for each copy like any else mass produced.

These'll probably hard to sell for the thieves. Or am i wrong?

$50? Lol.

Try double that in a couple of weeks x a truckload worth of stock.

They straight getting that money.

 

[Elginer]

Well, I sure as hell didn't see that coming.

 

[Leynos]

I knew that guy could not be trusted. >_> <_< >_>

Maxcriden, that son of a bitch! Get him! Erm...her? It?

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Just seen 500 copies of splatoon in a fridge on eBay....

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

You´re a kid now, your´re a squid now, you´re a kid, you´re a squid, you´re a thief now.

Damnit Pizzacat

The news sucks but I can't help but laugh

 

[Pepin]

I cant stop laughing.

This.

 

[Addnan]

Did they get the right lorry? Where are they going to sell a lorry full of wiiu games in the UK? Sucks for the thieves.

 

[Fbh]

I imagine the guys opening the truck expecting tons of consoles and finding Splatons.

Still, sucks for the people affected by this. At least their are being offered fast delivery and a discount.

 

[BluenoseGames]

Dayum, people really this desperate for amiibos lol

 

[Mr-Joker]

This is hilarious.

I can't wait to see the Hollywood adaptation of it.

Though honestly it does have the potential to be a comedy movie.

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

That email pic looks familiar...

Here, have a cleaner version.

You clearly don't know about the amiibo black market.

You can't comprehend the depths people will go to for an amiibo.
