Damn dude that sucks. It's bullshit what happened to you. Hopefully you can pull unemployment. Good luck to you.

Wait what now? I can has skull kid? what do I have to buy?
Don't you have to be a New 3DS Ambassador or something?

I fucking hate NoA...bayonetta 2 collectors edition would have been sweet
In spite of it being an Ambassador program, one doesn't need the Ambassador edition, just any model of the New 3DS line.
Yeah, the naming makes it a tad confusing.

How the fuck Nintendo was the only company who saw the potential in that game really shits me the fuck off.
It was a major flop so maybe the other companies were on to something.
I still love it regardless.
You might even want to email them now to let them know but don't ask for them to cancel yet, just give them a head's up that you might need to if things don't smooth out in time. Then again maybe they don't care, I don't know. At least they couldn't say you didn't do due diligence for advanced warning.
Should have clarified, this is a Nintendo UK thing. Sorry. Was in a happy mode when I originally posted so wasn't thinking straight.
Currently you can get the Skull Kid if you Buy a N3DS and MM from their store, but since this was an offer made after people bought the Ambassador 3DS, the Ambassador owners missed out on the opportunity to get a Skull Kid (unless they bought another N3DS). This basically rectifies the problem.

Ordered Majora LE from UK store so I won't have to do a thing and they should be putting it in my delivery, woo =D

Mail came...
No Motoko or Akagi, wtf.

Do you have tracking?
Speaking of mail, when I have my packages sent to my house, they always arrive on a weekday, and when I have my packages sent to my work, they always show up on Saturday. How unlucky.
The pain has just begun BGBW. Just wait until the 6th Division next week. One shall stand and one shall fall.
At least you can have things sent to your work. That's considered misuse of company resources where I work (having the warehouse/interoffice mailman spend time on your non-business stuff) and grounds for disciplinary action. ._. (at least I didn't have to find this out the hard way or anything)

I thought I was the only one...hah
When pre-orders went up for both the Majora's Mask Limited Edition and the N3DS XL bundle I pre-ordered both of them. They eventually cancelled my order for the former because according to them I pre-ordered it at a time it was fully booked. After filing a complaint since there was no indication of it and I was literally refreshing the page hourly after the announcement to score a pre-order they offered to bundle me the Skull Kid figurine with my Majora N3DS XL order which they aren't even selling regularly (especially not generally offering because its Europe) but using for store exclusive regular N3DS bundles.
I feel blessed to live near a store with the best customer service ever.

Gotta agree. NoE should just invade NoA and take over.

Not on Motoko, Akagi has been sitting in Atlanta for two days for some reason thought maybe the tracking was delayed.
Motoko is from Japan(over 3 weeks now), Akagi I got from a US seller.
Sounds like you work for a bunch of people with sticks shoved up their asses. No offence.
Wow. That's super shitty. It costs them literally nothing and is an incredibly minor inconvenience to process a package. I mean, if you had dozens of things being sent there a month, sure, but yikes.

That sucks
. The only inconvenience for me is that if something is sent via USPS it can take an extra day or two to get to my cubicle.

Squeeee!!
Pain? There's no pain in saving money.
Probably still going by JST.
Today's haul!
Sayaka looks seriously great. Awesome pose and sculpt. The swords look AMAZING, paint job is so good. I have a MIGHTY NEED to get the rest of the GSC figures now.
Rorona might be my new favorite figure though. The details on the outfit look incredible. Her pose looks like she's inviting you on an adventure, really nice to look at! The jewel accessories on her neck, waist, and staff all really stand out. Really though, I think the outfit is the star here. It just looks amazing. Makes me super excited for Ayesha next month!
Mami figma was kind of an impulse purchase, it was cheap. SUPER HAPPY WITH IT. It's small and adorable, and I think the only real figure of her in her school outfit. She's gonna stay sitting on my desk for a long time....also kinda really liking figmas right now :X
Overall this might be my favorite group of figures yet. I really love them all.

No. Satsuki is in the future.
She looks great!
Correct me if I'm mistaken, but you're pretty new to figure collecting, right? It seems like you've fallen down the rabbit hole quickly!
Yeah, pretty much! (Though not my direct chain of command; my boss doesn't write the company policies and she's pretty chill most of the time.)
I can deal. The pay is good.

I just spent £195 on a "free" Skull Kid Figure...
Granted I was picking up MM 3D on release day, and getting a New 3DS sometime in the near future, but the figure made it all happen now.... Better not look like shit in hand...
Now I need me some Samus faceplates...
You guys don't have to tell me they haven't made any, in my heart I know they never will... But a man can dream...
My man.
Probably. Someone here got it not long after, I think. There were two that morning and neither lasted the day.
Never say never. She was included in the advert for the 3DS faceplates after all.

I think so, iirc someone here said it sold like in 5 min
also I think you shared some links from nippon-yassan, she is still available there but a little bit expensive imo, last resort would be that one, when I get some extra money to spend on her :u

Get the Figinstock account to update you on it, will also try and inform you if I see it as well; and yeah NY will be your last resort if needs be XP
She looks great!

Yeah....maybe a little too quickly
I'm about 3 months into collecting stuff. Part of the problem is that after I actually started looking into figures there was SO MUCH that was already released that I wanted from different shows and movies. Right now I have 9 things pre-ordered and I'm looking to stay around that...and also not hop on too much Manda stuff. The I NEED EVERYTHING mentality recently went away.Recently I went through and trimmed down the exorbitant amount of stuff I had on my MFC wishlist and got it down to about 50. That includes figures, gunpla, artbooks etc.

nice, I forgot that site was on the OP of the previous thread!
thanks a lot for the reminder!
and just in another note, ems is taking way to long in updating the status of my Dizzy figure :c
it'll be almost a month without update, thou there is a disclaimer that there may be a delay delivery because they hate my country's mail office or something like that lol
but a whole month is too much I think, the most I have waited for a figure has been like 3 weeks
