Is there any way to get Zelda for ~£10? The Nintendo UK Store and GAME are sold out and its only available from third party sellers on Amazon for £15+.

She would've cost you £15 from GAME anyway.

Your only other option is to check your local Argos, Toys R Us, etc.
 
Nope, we should still be good. It seems they are early placeholders and they might have made them pre-orderable too early and then pulled the ability to order them. They all say 'coming soon' and if they were sold out, it would just say so.

I think they just got them up and running earlier than they planned.

They did this with the Majora's mask 3ds xl and the LE and the FF Type-0 HD LE, never went for preorder again, eventually the site updated from Coming Soon to Out of Stock.

All things I wanted to preorder from BB, but I wound up preordering elsewhere.

Wave 4 IS going to be nuts. I've been seeing a lot of people sell their amiibo collection because of how bad it is. I'm preparing to jump that ship. There is a lot of want for wave 4, and I'm sure it's going to be just as bad if not worse than the previous waves now that more and more scalpers are jumping on board.

I'm going to be one of those people who sells a complete sealed NA set of wave 1-3 because I'm just not willing to put in that time and stress for wave 4 and beyond.

I'm a completionist and a cheap butt... So if I can't have the full set for what I want to pay, I will give up and get rid of it so I don't have to see an incomplete set.
 
"Had the gall?"

Please.

If they can't sell it to you, what's the point in saying "yes we got them. But no you can't have one ". Might as well just say they don't have them and avoid the discussion.

Because you don't outright lie to customers like that? If he'd say "Nah man. We got some, but they're all preordered" I would've been like "Okay, sweet, thanks anyway". But to lie and then not even wait before just handing one out? That's kinda messed up. You never straight up lie to customers like that.
 
Amazon US just sent me an estimated delivery for Ike. Says he should arrive by this Monday.

BB needs to send me shipping confirmations for Dedede, Sonic and Meta Knight and I'll be done until March.
 
Just got back with my limited edition "scarface" Shulk that i picked up from GameStop (USA). I think it's worth at least $10000000000.

Pre-orders are held for what, 48 hours? Should I keep an eye on the inventory tracker to see if they still have Shulk Thursday night before checking Friday morning to see if anyone doesn't pick their pre-order up?

Yes 48hrs unless the order is fully paid off, which is what I did for my Shulk, just incase I couldn't get to the store.
 
So I got in touch with Amazon.fr customer support - used the Google Translate trick and was told I need to wait until the 13th of Feb. and then contact them again. Would normally be upset, but the rep was a champ and treated me awesome, even with our language barrier. Gotta tip my hat to Amazon, no matter the region they have always done right by me.
 
Shulk is just a tease now. He's sitting there with ADD TO CART proudly displayed, only to say cart is empty at the last step. You jerk, Shulk.
