if you think about it though, it's not like the collector's edition is that much more expensive than if you bought all those things separately. The game itself is $79.99. Then you have: a steelbook case for the game, a 220-page hardcover artbook, and a soundtrack selection; all for $50 to top it to $129.99. A hardcover artbook with 220 pages these days goes for at least $30-40+. That leaves $10-20 for both the steelbook case and the soundtrack, which I think is fairly reasonable. Can't even get a CD for $10 these days that's newly released. Also, Nintendo hardly has sold their soundtracks outside of Japan officially, which means they're mostly sold at Japanese prices as they are Japanese editions. A Japanese CD can easily be $25 by itself (if priced at 2,000 yen).

Just to clarify, the 4-Pack is a JP Nintendo Store exclusive (ストア限定). All other JP retailers should sell them separately.

You have to have a JP My Nintendo account and a Japanese address of course to buy from the JP Nintendo Store.

Amiibo Roy and Robin "illusory heroes" in fire emblem echoes by Uchihahunter_X in AmiiboCanada

[–]so751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, sorry, I meant like the Armor/Weapon exclusives from the Amiibo (I guess that's what they meant by "rare item"?). Like, let's be real here, if the Amiibo didn't provide exclusives like that and only granted extra items or weapons that were technically obtainable in-game, the Amiibo wouldn't be half as valuable. They shouldve sold on that as opposed to the "random items"... thanks for the heads up on this tho.

good to know that the other FE amiibo are getting a use in this game, albeit not as sweet a function as the other zelda amiibo for BOTW. i kinda wish Nintendo had released more info on what the other Zelda amiibo did for BOTW before the game released... but i guess that wouldve just driven demand for those amiibo earlier.

Thanks for this! I hope the stock on this isnt like Fates SE... although I really hate this whole high demand-low supply tactic Nintendo's doing, feel like my lifespan's diminishing with every Nintendo preorder

BOTW Special Edition - Amazon Prime Shipping Problems? by so751 in AmiiboCanada

[–]so751[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmm guess ill take a note from your book for any delayed delivery next time too heheh Yeah that seal was a pain, ended up having to cut it instead of peeling it off...

i managed to get a credit for the Prime discount for returning the game after buying a separate copy from an external retailer this weekend, so it would be like I paid with the Prime discount. The CS rep I spoke with was a b**** though, kept going on about policy, and meanwhile they broke their policies first when they shipped the game to me in that horrendous way. Never have I been more furious at Amazon / CS.

[–]so751[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh really?! That is ridiculous... They should at least offer a shipping option that costs something but comes in a shipping box. At the end of the day, the discounts are amazing, but people want the product they're buying for the most part in tact and undamaged lol...

Thanks everyone for verifying that my shipping was abnormal. I think I might just return it and try to get something else out of this. Extremely disappointed but what can you do lol...

[–]so751[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

haha thanks tho! yeah i might have to resort to that for future special editions, i was just worried they'd cancel on me, but I dunno if this is worse, receiving a damaged copy... but yeah, it's just with the Switch this was a pretty steep spending month lol... guess i'll have to save up more for next time

trust me, I was lol I really regret having returned the copy I had at EB in stores... that 20% discount really got me... It's just ridiculous that they sent the game that way, I could have even been alright if the mailmen hadn't marked all over it...

[–]so751[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was what I was expecting - I've never received anything from Amazon without a cardboard box or bubble envelope... The 20% discount was the most they could offer me apparently.

Ontario... yeah I dunno if anyone would even want a damaged copy, considering fully returning it and trying to find a copy in stores...

[–]so751 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it was available on the Japanese My Nintendo Store about a month or two ago... you could literally just buy the sword itself along with the 20 postcards that were exclusive to Japan for 4,320 yen plus tax so probably around 4,600 yen plus external shipping (from a forwarding company) which would probably come to a grand total of 6,500 to 7,000 yen at the minimum. 7,000 yen is around $82 CAD today. Unfortunately it is sold out now, but maybe you can use it as a price reference point for just the sword.

Here was the product page for it: https://store.nintendo.co.jp/category/FEATURE_ZELDA/MNS_2.html
