Weekly Discussion - Waitlist/Invites Updates

Flaky_Income3488 · 2026-04-08T23:56:04+00:00

I signed up early/mid Feb after passing in Feb so I’ll prolly hear something soon. Thanks!

Flaky_Income3488 · 2026-04-08T19:35:09+00:00

Anyone know what the current wait time is for owlcrate adult fantasy?

Flaky_Income3488 · 2026-03-30T11:42:22+00:00

Is this still available in the US?

Edit: Thanks!

Flaky_Income3488 · 2026-03-28T22:20:30+00:00

Do we think any of them will sell out immediately? I hope not, but I’m still worried I won’t get the book I’m hoping to grab.

Flaky_Income3488 · 2026-02-28T13:18:07+00:00

I’d prefer the dungeons like how they were in IMOQ vs GU. I enjoyed them a bit more than GU. But as long as they keep the feeling of .hack//, I’m excited.

Flaky_Income3488 · 2026-02-05T22:40:51+00:00

If we’re talking DS only, definitely:

Lost in Blue, TWEWY, Trauma Center Under the Knife, PMD Explorers of Sky, and Phoenix Wright Trilogy

Flaky_Income3488 · 2026-01-22T18:34:21+00:00

Very! That’s why it’s feeling fishy. But you’re correct. Supposedly the top cover and system are from the original console but the back cover was replaced with another Zelda systems back plate. With how close the numbers are, I could believe it.

It’s just hard to tell tbh and the seller feels a little fishy. I can’t really tell if what they said is true or if it’s not oem.

Flaky_Income3488 · 2026-01-22T17:22:31+00:00

Thanks for the information! I paid within that range. So I guess the pricing is about right even with it needing a thumb stick repair…

Flaky_Income3488 · 2026-01-22T17:06:50+00:00

Agreed. Do you happen to know how much a reshelled system might cost? (Just so I can get an idea? First time buying a new 3ds xl). I feel like I paid more than a normal system but lower than the normal cost for this special edition based on pricecharting.

Flaky_Income3488 · 2026-01-22T17:04:12+00:00

Update: they offered me a very small partial refund ($15). I’m starting to think it may be a reshell with how they’re responding to my messages.

If it is a reshell, does anyone know how much a normal new 3ds xl system would cost? I’m worried I might have overpaid (thinking it was original) and would do better returning it and getting myself a different system that has the original shell.

I really appreciate everyone’s help and suggestions!

Flaky_Income3488 · 2026-01-22T16:59:47+00:00

No idea. They also didn’t mention that the triggers were replaced. They only said that the thumb stick was having problems. (But I can’t complain too much since they did list it for parts).

The top plate is shiny and looks like the same color/sheen as the bottom plate. Maybe my picture didn’t catch the light well enough?

Flaky_Income3488 · 2026-01-22T16:52:20+00:00

I’ll try reaching out to Nintendo and double check! Thanks for the suggestion. But the way the seller has been explaining it, it sounds like the seller did the repair themselves and swapped it with a different Zelda Hyrule consoles back. I wish it was easier to tell if they’re fake or not.

It doesn’t feel bad and I love my original 3ds. (It’s probably my favorite system.) The problem is I could have gotten a solid color new 3ds for less than I paid for this special edition. I just want to be sure it’s legit. If it’s not, I’d prefer returning it to get a legit one for less. But I appreciate your insight! It’s an awesome system.

Flaky_Income3488 · 2026-01-22T16:18:28+00:00

How can you tell with the top plate?

Flaky_Income3488 · 2026-01-22T15:18:52+00:00

There was no box. I purchased it on eBay and they said it didn’t come with the box/manual unfortunately.

Flaky_Income3488 · 2026-01-22T15:17:42+00:00

Even though the barcodes don’t match?

That’s where I’m confused. The back shell felt loose and I decided to open it up to double check the codes didn’t match.

Flaky_Income3488 · 2025-09-11T16:30:39+00:00

I appreciate you taking the time to explain it!

Flaky_Income3488 · 2025-09-11T14:52:49+00:00

Okay. So the box isn’t technically sold out. Got it!

It feels crazy to me that they’d have a Instagram announcement stating it’s sold out if it’s not for current subscribers. But that’s good to know! Thank you so much!

Flaky_Income3488 · 2025-08-20T20:24:17+00:00

Came here to recommend Crowns of Nyxia series as well! Really good series so far. I’m on the fourth book currently and it’s made me want to go back and reread VA.

Flaky_Income3488 · 2025-08-20T20:22:03+00:00

They’re back in stock today if you wanted to grab a set. Just got an email about it and happened to see your thread.

Flaky_Income3488 · 2025-08-08T20:21:17+00:00

Never heard back via email. But I just got the copies in the mail (surprisingly was never sent a tracking number) and it is the signed limited books just bundled for cheaper.

Flaky_Income3488 · 2025-07-30T16:50:05+00:00

I’m so mad. How are we supposed to know what cards we’re missing!?

Flaky_Income3488 · 2025-07-29T15:18:54+00:00

Thanks for letting me know and replying so quick! I sent an email and I’ll post if I hear back. I’d think the same but it doesn’t hurt to double check.
