Ahhh it's such a nice 3DS. You're in for a treat. Hope they'll come through and ship it out to you!
I'm considering selling my unit as I've got the New 3DS pre-ordered. If for some reason Nin-Nin cancels your order, feel free to send me a PM and maybe we can work something out. I would like to keep my system until my New 3DS arrives though (for the transfer), so in that case you'd have to wait a little while until I can ship it out.
...but let's not get ahead of ourselves. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that Nin-Nin delivers your items as promised!
Do you use Tenso with amazon? I really want to try them out sometime. Amazon's prices are really good.
So far I've used Nin-Nin, Nippon-Yasan and eBay. Pretty satisfied with all of them, although N-Y sure take their sweet time with shipping out items. I ordered Youkai Watch from them, was which recently restocked according to them, and it took 4 (working) days to ship it out! How hard can it be to grab a game, put it in an enveloppe and bring it to the post office?! . Can't really complain though, they say it can take that long on their website and I knew that when I placed my order. But still, it's something to keep in mind when ordering from them.
Hmm, I might be confused then, because it's just a standard cosmo black 3ds with the monster hunter 3g game and a special cloth, and you seem like you're describing a limited edition system.
As for imports, this is my first time using something other than ebay to import any gaming related stuff. With ebay I've had mixed experiences, I had a GBA game take longer than it should, but I also have gotten Pokemon Platinum the same day it released in Japan.
