Honestly, the shipping on that would cost so much (I'd guess around $35) that you should almost just try and look for one for sale in the B/S/T thread if it's that important to you

I'm sure it's not going to cost $35. I'd rather pay the shipping cost than the scalping cost plus the cost for my damaged one.

Are you opening yours?

you could sell yours on craigslist, still make a pretty penny, then buy another of better quality. i bet the difference wouldn't be too much
Is the idea that you want a pristine unopened box for collecting? So the person who would trade with you would send you their unopened good MMLE and you'd send yours with the box that wasn't so great?
I just ask because I'm going to open mine and don't care about the box and could easily trade... BUT! I've been waiting since Friday and don't want to have to wait longer to get your copy to play the game.
(keep in mind that my MMLE arrives today and so it might not be pristine either)

I would keep shipping in mind with something like this.
The box itself is kind of fragile. That front cut out area is easy to rip with any sort of pressure placed on it.

The site is fine. I think that's a mobile link or something.

did that cocopuffs guy who was fucked over by Amazon ever end up getting a Majora's Mask LE? I hope so
It's gone.
Whatever was there is gone. There are 5 new from $245 from third party sellers though. Wow.

Yes that's right. I can ship out as soon as possible. So long as yours isn't messed up hopefully.

I think he's asking if you're willing to open boxes and just trade those, without the game inside. he wants to play the game right away

Oh. Then no.

So here is a picture I was able to get of the marks on the buttons on my Majoras Mask N3DSXL
Anyone else have these?
The EB Games I got it from has a replacement on the way for it. I'm just hoping that one doesn't have dead pixels or something worse.
I'll check both out.

you mean the X and A? those just look like blemishes in the way the plastic set
The Elite

I don't see any notable issue in that picture.
Byron Bluth
Banned
Yeah the X and A, all of them have it but those were the only two that came through in the picture.
Just bugs me. I guess I have OCD issues =\
My 3ds has similar markings on the buttons, however it is much smaller that what is on yours, so it is more or less negligible. I see it as a non-issue to be honest.
You're lucky. My start and select buttons are jammed and barely work, and my EB Games would not order me another and said I had to wait and get one when available. BTW, those are plastic marks created during manufacturing. Mien have them and you will likely get one with them. If you have a good screen, you might want to hold onto your current unit. You could end up with broken start and select or stuck pixels.
Byron Bluth
Banned
Yeah. I'll probably stick with the one I have. No dead pixels, buttons all work great, 3D works perfectly.

That is normal....its from the injection process they use when making the buttons...

Holy hell, for that much cash I'd probably let go of my copy that came in surprisingly great condition lol.

Sorry, but not really. Already put the box near my other LEs and it looks pretty awesome.

Really didn't like how Amazon packed those MM LEs face down; at least one of the two made it unscathed through the mail. I suppose I should be happy it was at least shipped in a box compared to the bubble mailer Future Shop used for the Skyward Sword LE a couple years back.

Really annoyed about getting damaged limited items. Fucking sick of it.

It just makes the mint ones even more limited!
Or they should put the collector's box in another box
Just stop buying them online if you are worried about the box =/

Dude. They aren't available anywhere.
EB even let me look at the other ones they had for other preorders and they were even worse.
Do you even know what were talking about?

I hear you on the SS LE. Surprisingly Amazon actually put my MM face up, with plenty of packing paper inside to keep it from moving. It even shipped later than my MH N3DS and got here earlier. Mind blowing stuff from Amazon.ca this time heh.

Hey man I understand it sucks when something doesn't meet your expectations, but we get it, you want to trade your item with someone else. Don't need to get defensive when people ask you questions. Perhaps even take asking people to PM. You have posted a lot asking for a trade or venting about all the issues you have with your stuff, which we can all understand sucks.

More like $70
$35 for Byron to ship his
$35 for the other person to ship his to Byron
And I wouldnt pay the shipping costs if I'm the one doing the trading (I already opened mine!).

If you were just buying it for the box then why buy a damaged box? Save your money for the next box you want to buy
If the game and statue were undamaged then the box did it's job
dancrane212
Member
Haha, guess I drew the short end of the stick then. Not like I'll be keeping the one with the tears, that will go to my sister I covered by ordering an extra one for. Talking to her she just wanted the statue more than anything so I doubt she'll mind.

Done
My box is crumpled on the bottom left, it's not pretty. But, I live with it, because realistically it's something minor. If I were you, I'd just let it go and be glad that you at least have the whole package
Maximus.

To be fair my MM LE has a crumpled corner, many Amiibos I have bought have imperfections (Ex. Bowsers eye isn't even appropriately aligned), and my MM 3DS XL has glue residue on the plastic and the same buttons as yours. We all just react to these things in different ways. I have spent hundreds of dollars recently too and not everything that is mass produced is going to be pristine and perfect, especially if it goes through multiple rounds of shipping to get to me.

There's "venting" and then there's "re-posting across multiple threads because I spent money on something I'm not happy with".
