Majora's Mask New 3DS XL- who else got one?

[Megatron]

Finally got confirmation that Gamestop shipped mine!  Thank God.  Target oversold today and had to cancel a bunch.  I was almost positive Gamestop would do the same.  I guess paying for that One Day Shipping was worth it - get it out the door before they run out.
Also, I apparently ordered the Monster Hunter version as well...so...oops.

A friend of mine on my local retro gamer facebook page picked one up today at Target.  The funny thing is that when he posted the receipt in his picture, it was at a Target about 3 hours from his home.  He knew that his luck was better in that town then in the St. Louis area. I guess he really wanted one.

I might have wanted one if it was common, but I do not want to be carrying around something that rare, and spaz out over every scratch.

Troll bidding,  I hope.  These scalpers are the reason people who actually WANT one can't have one.

There are quite a few like that. lol

Te biggest thing that bums me out about this is there are 500 people who were screwed out of the 3DS just because all these people are assholes. I don't even want one but these people are really sucking the fun out of collecting, instead of "Hey look at this cool thing for the fans" its become "Hey Give me $300 because fuck you for liking a thing"

I'm still waiting for Best Buy to ship mine.

It's at "Preparing" now and has been since yesterday morning!

My BB order is in the same boat, seems just about everybody who ordered it from BB (and didn't have it cancelled the first 2 times (ordered more than 1 per household, or the round that resulted in $50 credits) is in the same boat of the order stuck in limbo.

My CE Guide is also stuck in limbo as well

I only got the standard game.  No LE since it sold out in like .000001th of a second.  Also my case and paper sleeve got damaged in my backpack while on the train home from work so I bought a second copy off Amazon this morning.  I will beat the copy I already opened then sell it keeping the sealed copy.

Got the system from GameStop during the second round of pre-orders.

Missed out on the CE of the game though.

[ShaggyB]

anyone got an extra that they dont want to price gouge on?

[larryinc64]

I tried to get 2 spares of the Skull Kid, one per household. I needed another address to ship too.

[hoverboots]

I really wanted that Skull Kid figure... If anyone comes across an extra...

I've never understood why everyone is always jizzing their pants over OoT and MM... These 2 games to me were the worst two Zelda games ever made and continued to be bad with every 3D style of game they made afterward. I know it's all a matter of opinion but come on. We all know the titles started sucking after A Link to the Past.

Meh.  That IS a matter of opinion, and I won't go in to how horribly wrong you are about Zelda games and their "order of greatness"...but this isn't about Majora's Mask.  This is about the physical Legend of Zelda Merch.  This stuff could be for the Windwaker (a game that I HAAAAATE and consider one of the worst in the franchise) and I would still be just as emphatic about ensuring I secured it.  As a collector, Zelda is at the top of my list, and the same can (apparently) be said for a lot of people.

Personally, I never put much stock into MM as a game, but nonetheless, I still want anything that comes out with that mask on it.

OoT and MM were still really good games, WW was on the border, NGC version of TP was still OK, SS I have not played (yet I own 2 copies ).
