I THINK I MAY HAVE A PROBLEM

[kyogres]

Nintendo, why do you have to make such awesome preorder bonuses for Alpha Sapphire? And why do you have to release the best ones outside of the US? All the Alpha Sapphire bonuses are Kyogres, which means I need them. I NEED ALL OF THEM.

Current list of preorder bonuses I want need

I'm debating ordering at Gamestop (not my fav, but I can live with it) or TRU (out of the way and kinda meh about Charizard plush) or BestBUy (most convenient but no special thing) ...but, I don't mind helping out if anyone (like you) want the poster?

[kyogres]

Thanks for the offer. I'm going to see if one of my local friends will give/sell me the poster first. If not, I'll let you know.

For UK, maybe you could ask dragonrider49? I am sure she would be willing to help you out, maybe she will be getting both games, but won't need the figures and boxes, so it might be worth a try?

Good luck! Whenever I have a fav, I suddenly want everything of that one Pokemon X'D

[kyogres]

One of my Twitter friends said she would be willing to sell me the UK bonuses. (I always forget that she lives in the UK, probably because we never talk on LJ.) Thanks for the info. I'll contact them if my original plan falls through.

I don't care about getting everything for Kyogre, only the pretty things. Unfortunately, all the primal Kyogre merch is so beautiful that "only the pretty things" means "EVERYTHING!" in this case.

You know, if I was sure the rest of the Europe gets the UK preorder bonuses as well (I'm not 100% sure) I would gladly give you the figure and metallic box, as I only want the game -_- but I don't want to promise you anything, I might download the game if it's cheaper or something... but you can still try to message me if you don't find anyone else who can get it for you?

[kyogres]

Thank you for the offer. One of my Twitter UK friends only wants the cartridge, so I'm planning to buy the case and figure from them. If the rest of Europe is getting the same bonus items, I'm sure it will be easy to find a buyer for the figure and case.

Also, if you find out what the rest of Europe is getting, could you let me know? I heard someone mention a French preorder bonus but they didn't say what it was.

No problem, I'll be on the lookout :)

I'm going to be in Japan for the release day! But, I'm not sure where I can preorder with the bonuses before I get there. Amazon, maybe? If you can find a comm member (or someone else) who's willing to deputy a pre-order for you, I'd be happy to buy the Japanese game.

[kyogres]

I think the metallic poster bonus is Pokecen preorder only, unfortunately. Which means the Amazon option is probably out. :(

I'd love to sell you the Japanese game if I can get my hands on a Pokecen preorder. The only problem is: I don't know whether you would have the game by the release date, especially if the person I preorder from isn't one of our mutual comm friends. Would that be a problem for you, if the seller ended up shipping everything to me first and then I had to ship the game to your US address?

[happyjolteon]

Hmm, I wonder how hard it would be to get the poster on YJ or resell shops..

I don't need to have the game on the exact release date, but I'd like to have it within a few days. I won't be back in the US until December 11th, so that's probably a bit long for me to wait, sorry >_> If I were getting two copies (that is, if I decide to get both versions or NOR decides he wants one), it would work out great, but I haven't done that for a while so we probably shouldn't count on it.

[kyogres]

I have no idea, but I'd rather buy it directly from someone if possible. I dislike going through a deputy service for items that are easily damaged because I have no way to ask the seller how the item will be shipped. The few times I've tried this in the past, something got lost in translation between myself, Noppin, and the seller. But on the whole, YJ sellers seem to package things much better than ebay sellers. Maybe I'm just overly paranoid. (The thought of paying $15 in deputy fees for a $5-$10 poster isn't that appealing either... but I'll do what I have to.)

Are you meeting up with anyone while you're in Japan? In terms of comm members who live there and do Pokecen pickups, I know Gin and allinia. Not sure if either of them would be willing to preorder this for me (I haven't asked yet), but that could be an option.

Which Charizard plush is it?

[kyogres]

I don't think they've released a photo yet. I'm guessing it's one of the large mega zards based on the $30 retail price quote, but I could be completely wrong on that.

[kyogres]

Someone posted a picture of the Charizard plush. They look like the mega zard PC plush.

[antoj]

Oh wow... those are kind of awesome.
