Yeah, I thought the same. But people have paid more for dumber things.
It's not the exact same thing, that's the point. You can buy the Special Edition and import a European version with the statue, but it's still not the same thing as buying the Master Edition. Try to sell the sword by itself for $200 and see if anyone bites.
Obviously those are more limited, but it is 1 store vs online-only at 3 stores. 1 morning for a few hours at the Nintendo NYC Store vs 15 minute intervals at Amazon, Best Buy, and Gamestop. Not a huge difference.
Holy crap, last I checked the MK8 LE and Hyrule Warriors LE were $200 and $600 respectively....I need to buy a display case to protect these things geeze. ._. And I remember hardly anyone showing up for MK8. You could just walk into the store and get it the next morning.
Somewhere in the world, some nerd is wearing an ugly $900 scarf and they have no idea.
I almost jumped on these as well. But I thought, "Eh, I have both the Master and Special Edition preordered... what could go wrong?"
They're not though. The scarf is worth $900 only when it's part of the US Limited Edition.
This is a very good point.
Yeah you got your ME so you're set. Grats! and lucky you.I almost jumped on these as well. But I thought, "Eh, I have both the Master and Special Edition preordered... what could go wrong?"

Actually I'm quite positive that after release, if you took just the Master Edition packaging and the statue and sold it, you'd get close to the difference between the Master Edition and the Special Edition. Not the full difference because it's not sealed, but still. They are very much valuing that packaging and the statue that high
Not worth the gamble. Just dump it while the going is good. Getting greedy is what will get you in competition with people trying to dump it off their hands by undercutting.
Yep, that's what it boils down to. 9 out of 10 of them drop in peak value by 20% or more. While maybe 10% of them double in value. Are you a gambling man?
Don't you have to wait until 30 days before launch before selling a pre-order on ebay?
there's alot of rules on ebay that they really don't enforce unless someone reported you. And pretty sure that's just automated
I sold mine for $1,200.
Sell some of that stuff, take her out, and buy something nice for her. She will not complain about your "hobby" ever again.
Like the one guy here who reported a bunch of eBay listings. He even called eBay
It's one more character to type "but".
To make your decision easier: last I asked they did not know if they would even be carrying them.
This past Saturday?
No, he mentions Jan 14th.
Check the SKU on your receipt to make sure it's not the same as the regular edition. I remember something about them consolidating the SKU sometimes late Friday and people who pre-ordered ME afterwards actually pre-ordered the regular version.
This! I did that with my stuff and got my wife something and I made enough to buy Christmas gifts. She never said anything after that regarding my gaming hobby/purchases.
Yeah not doing it then. Any brick and mortars not take pre orders?
Sorry, I meant Friday late morning, Jan 13th. For some reason, GS still had pre-orders avail up until close to noon that day. Knowing GS and its reputation, I'm not entirely convince they will fulfilled their part of the arrangement.
me over, AGAIN.....
Mine looks similar, except my taxes are 7% and show up as ~$9.Sorry, I meant Friday late morning, Jan 13th. For some reason, GS still had pre-orders avail up until close to noon that day. Knowing GS and its reputation, I'm not entirely convince they will fulfilled their part of the arrangement.
It's definitely the ME according the GS app under the "pre order" section.
However, the taxes looks way off. Detail order on the website shows tax charges of $2.27. I'm from ca and taxes should be around 8%.
For those that were able to pre-order on 1/13/17 at the wee hours of the early morning, does your order look similar. I'm hoping GS will not
The LE book is still available for preorder directly from penguinrandomhouse. But it's msrp and no way to cancel, but free shipping. Not sure if it will be fulfilled.
I forgot the switch drops that day as well. so I probably won't be waiting on line 6+ hrs just to hope to get a SE/ME. might have to hope a CAG will be willing to trade a ME. have to figure out what rare stuff I have for a fair trade
Still let you check out? Mind pming to share? LolFound a coupon code that zeroes out the price for the Arts & Artifacts Limited Edition
But it also zeroes out everything else... oh...
1. They charge an auth? I have like 1k+ tied up don't really want to add to it.
No, I wish. Shipping gets weird and glitchy, and then it just says "couldn't authorize payment" or some much nonsense. So, just the standard edition for me.
