Zelda Collectors Edition - Switch

Got one from Nintendo with regular shipping and package arrived in great condition. Ordered a second one 2 weeks later from best buy for pick up from local store.

Got one from the 24+ hr Nintendo restock. Delivered yesterday with expedited shipping. Destroyed by UPS because they are incompetent idiots. Out of stock again now.

@bertothedm yeah I got one from the big Nintendo drop

got it ordered at BB for pickup from Johnstown, PA

@neverforgotten2626 I don't know why they wouldn't. But reading the comments here, I doubt many have bought one from a reseller. It seems the Zelda fan community has banded together to stop resellers, and that's by not buying from them. Wait for them to get impatient, lower the price, and/or return them to the store. That's the only real solution to the problem.

I’m curious - did any of you that ordered from an eBay scalper actually get your CE?

Realizing I never posted this, both my CEs came in perfect shape!

@crex thanks. I had a feeling

Update - box was opened but the seals on the game itself and art book were still intact. The plastic cover for the pins and the steel case were semi-resealable since it has adhesive. The cover for the pins were intact but the steel case cover was open. Last is the steel poster which has a box but no seal on it. The art itself was wrapped in thin wrapping paper but didn’t look like it was opened although the corners had tears. The biggest issue would be two or three pin sized dents on the surface of the steel art.

The last one I bought through Amazon came in the mail, looking like the seal has been clearly tampered with so I’m going to return it

Just returned a CE to BestBuy and the clerk said “I know someone who really wants this”. Glad to have inadvertently helped out a fan :) hope everyone’s enjoying TOTK

best buy in stock rn

Therese things are going on a roll

We got 2 of everything one for my s/o and one for myself, had figured stock would be able to (relatively ) keep up considering the oled wad leaked last year they've had time to ramp up production on these so stock had to be relatively sound comparitively. Cringed when I heard someone at GS at the midnight release say their friend payed almost 600$ for the CE and controller together off eBay.
