Well...So much for GAME. Guess the only way its possible to get Jigg or Greninja is to pay a scalper which I refuse to do. It's too bad other people do it.

I'm willing to bet that there's quite a few UK scalpers too for our stuff.

Think about it, when's the last time we actually had an online preorder site that locked it to the US region?

 

[Lunarian]

It says no internationl shipping but what if I order it anyways with the shipping address addressed to the US??? It's letting me complete my order...iirc

 

[Saint Gregory]

So I can close al f these GAME tabs then?

This is what I'm trying to figure out lol

 

[Velcro Fly]

Yeah I don't blame em for locking out international orders. Probably saves the site from going down and saves them from having a ton of pissed off people.

The Jigglypuff Quest continues on though

 

[StrikeNinja24]

If you are looking for US shipment, yes you can close it.

If you're looking to see how long you can keep this site completely crashed for, keep at it.

 

[Ulysses 31]

Got a fraud error at payment but paypal did submit an order for payment to game.

Hmmm didn't get no order confirmation and the items are still in my basket. 0o



And I'm not in the UK btw so maybe they do ship to other EU countries.

OT7 GAME, Set, CRAP NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

Isn't America their biggest market, if we're talking both console and handheld?

Or is the 3DS still putting Japan in the #1 spot?

Based on what I've seen in sales threads, America supports Nintendo as much or more than anyone else. I wonder why we often get the shaft, at least in comparison.

I don't think Nintendo cares if America is the biggest market. They don't do anything in consideration of America. Of course they are going to be Japan-centric, but you'd think a company with global reach would at least try to make sense of what each market wants/needs and allocate resources accordingly.

Is there any chance that TRU might put up some Greninja on their site? No tonight, but maybe in a couple of days.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Damn, 220 pages already and I've barely posted haha. And last topic I was 27th on the wall of shame.

Anyway, has anyone NOT got their Jigglypuff confirmation email yet? I ordered mine this morning (after many issues) and while it shows up in my order history (desktop version only though, not on mobile...) I've yet to get one... Kinda worried. :\

Youd have better luck stalking their Ebay account.

Wouldn't worry too much, but you do have an order number, maybe call support, and have them check up on the status of the order.

So reading on reddit, one amazon rep said tomorrow at noonish. Guess I won't be leaving my pc tomorrow.

 

[Don_Tombery]

Does someone know if GAME differentiates between 'international' and 'european' shipping?

I guess most likely not, but you never know...

I hate ebay so much.:x
Do you know if Lucario ever come up again after the initial preorder batch?

I really enjoyed that Nintendo's reaction to America buying 2/3 of all amiibos (not even including imports) was to ask "how can we sell more in Japan" rather than "hey maybe we should figure out how to come even a little closer to America's demand".

The gulf in sales of amiibos between the US and JP is so huge that even substantially increasing demand in Japan is really not going to do nearly as much as satisfying US's demand, but they don't seem to care.

I think it is because a lot of Nintendo investor reside in Japan. Which is why they are fking idiot when it come to globalization.

Nintendo wants to sell to those that don't want it. Brilliant idea.

Well, at least I got Jigglypuff.

They uh, didn't by chance mean 1 PM West Coast time did they? Because I'd be off work by then.

 

[JacksUsername]

Man, both my credit cards and my PayPal payment were flagged as 'Fraud Failure' on GAME's website. Was trying to see if I'd be able to complete the order despite their message on no international shipping.

Looks like 12 PDT.

Of course I'll be at work. This is stupid.

I'm in the same boat. Earlier someone said it took them a day or two to get their confirmation email. So I wouldn't worry yet! And you still have your order number, so I'd just give it a day or two yet.

Ness is gamestop exclusive in the US.

Same here. This wave has just been impossible. I'm sick of wasting whatever little spare time I have trying to get these things.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Supposedly on April 27th TRU will have in-store pre-orders for only Greninja and Pac-Man.

 

[Lakerchick4life]

Ness is available on amazon UK so thats why I assumed maybe it would be available on amazon US

Will Wario be up tomorrow as well? I may try and jump on that

For Wave 4? (.com? )

 

[kirby_fox]

Looks like 12 PDT.

Well, if I'm lucky they'll last 40 minutes and I can snag some in the last 10 when I get out of work.

Since I'm not lucky enough they'll last exactly 30 minutes, like Jiggly lasted 20 minutes this morning.

 

[Geedorah]

Yes, and yes.

Well, I hope to be among the first to the store, and secure my Greninja.

 

[Regiruler]

3pm EST is right in the middle of class, but I could probably get a phone order in.

 

[Saint Gregory]

Good news is that Amazon can handle the traffic, bad news is nothing will last longer than 30 seconds

 

[Shauni]

So, two Amazon reps said tomorrow at 12 PM PST? But we still have the one who said April 17th, too, right? Hm.

Tomorrow 12PST would work for me. This is so frustrating. I have a problem here. >_<

Count me in the club that hasn't received their confirmation email yet. :/
