I want a Majora's Mask Collector's Edition Game Bundle.

Does anyone know of any stores that are carrying it at launch, without pre-order?

GameStop is sold out.
Target, Walmart, Toys R Us... they're all not carrying it.
Nintendo World Store has it, but that's a 17 hour drive.

Thoughts?

Maybe you'd like to join my crew. My pals and I are getting together to knock off one of the delivery trucks carrying this product so we can take the stash and sell it for a high profit. There's 10 of us already but I suppose one more couldn't hurt. We'll just change the name to Khushrenada's 11 instead.

I'm in. What's my talent?

As a Wal-Mart worker, you'd know what the Nintendo shipping boxes would look like so you can tell us which pallet of boxes we need to take and save us the time from having to open a bunch until we find them. We'll smuggle you onto the truck in another package. Then after you've been loaded, you'll get out of your box and locate and mark the merchandise. After we pull our trick to unload the truck without it stopping or the driver to realize he's being robbed, we'll get you out of there and swap the boxes with our fake ones and then meet at our rendezvous point later that evening.

Sounds good.

Best thing about it will be the tears of the scalpers when they don't get their bulk orders. We're modern day Robin Hoods!

Can we just beat up the scalpers and hang their bodies at the entrances to Gamestops as a warning to future--wait, we can't do that in this county? Then what do we do with all of these bodies?...

I've got plenty of ideas but the legal systems in this country keep preventing me from enacting any of them.

Say, something like the Don't Say The Magic Word thread, just in real life?

That was for education!

HOLY ****.

So, I've had a browser window open for days now. It's got an Amazon tab with the MMCE listing, a Best Buy tab, three different GameStop tabs (game by itself, game + guide, game+guide+system) and a Frys.com tab for the search results for "Majora's Mask".

See, the CE never showed up on Fry's website, so I just left the search box open.

Tonight, I did a "refresh all", only to be disappointed...

...until I got to Fry's website - oh ****! There it is! $49.99, in stock, "While Supplies Last!"

CRAPPPPP my wallet is in the other room... run run run... come back, click, click, click, type type, order order... wait... what? $99.99? Huh?

They raised the price as I was checking out?

Go back to the search page, sure enough, still showing $49.99.

Call customer service. Nope, it's showing $99.99 on his end. He talks to a supervisor...

and they get it fixed! I have a Majora's Mask CE coming to my house for $49.99! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Finally, UncleBob has realized his lifelong dream of owning an obscure collectible Nintendo item.

Khushrenada · « **Reply #12 on:** February 20, 2015, 12:11:30 AM »

Way to go, man.

I'll let you all in on a secret now. I actually had Friday off last week just so I could have an extra long weekend. With UncleBob posting his plea to get a Limited Edition Majora's Mask, I thought, what the heck, I'll see if I get lucky and find one. So, after checking the Best Buy and Future Shop stores websites and seeing no stock listed for either that morning, I then went to EBGames to see if they might have one there as that was the only other store I was aware of that was getting them. I arrived 3 minutes after it opened and was surprised to see so many people there. There was a line-up of 8 people at the check-out who were all getting their preorders of the NEW 3DS and Majora's Mask or Monster Hunter 4. Since the process was taking awhile, I looked around and found a copy of Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask and grabbed it. I overheard the clerk talk to somebody in line saying they were short-shipped the Majora's Mask limited editions and only had 4 which they were holding for pre-orders for 24 hours and then just selling if they hadn't been claimed. But by the time, I got through the line to pay for Miracle Mask, the third one was already being picked up so I figured that last one wouldn't make it to tomorrow. I checked in with a couple other EBGames and even went to a Best Buy and Future Shop for the heck of it but nothing.

However, I discovered that Best Buy's Nintendo Zones were working for the first time ever as I picked up a bunch of streetpasses. So, Saturday and Sunday, I stopped back at different Best Buy's to get more and check in with an EBGames or 2 just to see if there might be that ~~golden ticket~~ limited edition but no such luck. I saw you post that you had bought the regular edition of Majora's Mask so I figured you had given up and wouldn't still be looking for the limited edition anymore. Thus, I wrote off the search and figured it was just too rare an item. Way to never give up, UB.

Never give up, never surrender!

Stratos · « **Reply #14 on:** February 20, 2015, 12:35:55 AM »

I could never even get the limited edition to appear on the website. Congrats. Maybe I can luck out too.

No. A child is only your child if it creates an additional exemption on your tax return.

Textbook definition.

So much adventure recently! How did the heist go?

UncleBob got his Limited Edition Majora's Mask game, didn't he?

Total success.
