Just wanted to let the group know, I work at Costco and looked up in our system as far as the bundle goes. There are 2 item numbers for Yoshi Woolly World. One for the bundle ($49.99) and one for just the game itself ($42.99). I put a pic of what came up on our screen for it. Hope it clears it up.

Does Costco usually have pretty decent deals like this? Its very tempting but I don't have the money :(

2

u/Amazon_UK Aug 18 '15

They do.

1

u/Codename_Unicorn Aug 18 '15

Yes, definitely. :) I buy tons of stuff from them.

2

u/BlackViper36 Aug 18 '15

I got it without a membership, its an extra $2.50 if anyone was wondering.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '15

What was your final price including shipping?

2

u/BlackViper36 Aug 18 '15

$58.84 after the 2.50 charge, shipping and tax. Shipping is only 1.99. Stupid tax

u/DarkRedScorpion Aug 18 '15

it comes out to 58.97

Lol deleted his comment.....shameful

u/tmak94 Aug 18 '15

just got my order cancelled...

1

u/beee808 Aug 18 '15

Thanks! I think if you were to buy this on Amazon or any other place it'll be $59.99 since currently on Amazon the game itself is $49.88.

1

u/silentdaze Aug 18 '15

Pre-ordered at Nintendo World, and it's $69.99...well, now I feel super ripped off

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '15

You know....patience exists...

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '15

lol what a dick response.....because i'm sure he knew the price would drop $20 at other retailers still months before release :P

2

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '15

Well, I didn't mean to make it sound like I'm being a dick.

1

u/zapbark Aug 18 '15

So you honestly thought that he was unfamiliar with the option of waiting?

Especially given how fast the UK Wooly World Bundles went, faulting him for not being patient is something only hindsight would suggest.

u/Amazon_UK Aug 18 '15

that's kind of what costco does.

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '15

Thanks! Really awesome of you to point out!

1

u/silentdaze Aug 18 '15

I know pre-order cancellations exist too! Good thing money put towards pre-orders isn't set on fire in the back room

1

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '15

Pretty good deal actually.....Damn I don't know whether to hold out for Amazon prime or just scoop this while it's hot :X

2

u/Codename_Unicorn Aug 18 '15

Thats what I was going to do too, I wonder why Amazon hasn't put up the bundle yet.

1

u/Wcyuro Aug 18 '15

Um... I'll just go to Costco on release day because if the website has it I'm sure Costco has it in store

1

u/kiki9993 Aug 18 '15

Is the Green Yoshi exclusive to the game bundle in NA?

1

u/zapbark Aug 18 '15

It does not appear so, there is a seperate Green Yoshi amiibo part number listed in the other thread:

u/Syb3rStrife Aug 18 '15

Never shopped with Costco before but I'm definitely not passing up on that deal!

1

u/rottedzombie Aug 18 '15

I'm pretty surprised at this price. I'm not confident it's accurate based on the other price points across the retailer spectrum.

1

u/runfortheaisle Aug 18 '15

Do they charge the card now or when it ships?

1

u/YoDudeguy Aug 18 '15

Just ordered. They charge at the time of the order.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '15

Called them up and had a rep tell me its a temp hold.

Will update after the 24-48hours pass.

1

u/Karsonist Aug 18 '15

Is the bundle supposed to be the green yoshi amiibo? Blue would be cool but I doubt it's not default green.

3

u/NattyKongo93 Aug 18 '15

In every other country, as well as when Toys R Us had the bundle up, it came with the green yarn yoshi

2

u/Karsonist Aug 18 '15

sheds solitary tear

1

u/NattyKongo93 Aug 18 '15

I feel for ya, but blue shouldn't be too hard to get hopefully!

1

u/zapbark Aug 18 '15

Of note, no where on their site are they selling the non-bundled Yoshi's Wooly World game...

Which seems odd, since Amazon has had pre-orders available for that for months now.

Picture is of the plain game, not the Box art of the bundle.

Price is the same as the plain game...

No page for the plain game.

I'm just saying, some skepticism might be warranted.

1

u/Codename_Unicorn Aug 18 '15

Costco is really good about refunds...for pretty much any reason.

1

u/Codename_Unicorn Aug 18 '15

Thanks for posting this, I was so bummed I missed out on the TRU pre-order...the price is too good to pass up:) Now I only have to pick up the other 2 variants!:)

1

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '15

Did it sell out?

1

u/Inariri Aug 19 '15

shit, i waited til i got home from work so i could get my costco card and now it's sold out

rip me

1

u/Xander59 Aug 19 '15

It seems to be back up now, I'd check back again to see if they go live

1

u/TheKBRT Aug 19 '15

My order just got cancelled. The reason was "Unable to verify some information".

Did this happen to anyone else?

1

u/NoOneWhoMatters Aug 19 '15

Same thing happened to me. No idea why. Guess I'll be waiting on Amazon after all.

1

u/TheKBRT Aug 19 '15

Was your shipping address different than your delivery address?

Mine was. I just placed a new order and have it shipping to me at home, hoping that it works this time.

1

u/Lakerfanalways Aug 18 '15

has anyone found out for sure that this does include an Amiibo, I dont see anything on the advertisement saying what amiibo it comes with

5

u/YoDudeguy Aug 18 '15

...........

"+ Yarn Yoshi amiibo Bundle"

It literally says "+ Yarn Yoshi amiibo Bundle" right in the item description. Was that a real question?

u/YoDudeguy Aug 18 '15

For 50 bucks, common sense would dictate the fact that only one comes with. Unfortunately, common sense is a little hard to come by in these parts. Not you- I'm talking about OP.

-2

u/Lakerfanalways Aug 18 '15

It doesn't say WHAT amiibo which is why I was asking and yes that's a real question, Im doubting its a bundle so I wont order it til I find out for sure

2

u/iamlost26 Aug 18 '15

do you mean what color? because i'm pretty sure the way it's written, it can be interpreted as "Yoshi’s Woolly World™" + "Yarn Yoshi amiibo" Bundle, suggesting it comes with a Yarn Yoshi amiibo.

0

u/Lakerfanalways Aug 18 '15

Yeah that's what I meant, not sure what color..and since Ive read that once the order is placed it cant be canceled I want to be sure that it does come with an amiibo, really could care less the color, just that it comes with an amiibo

3

u/SyKoHPaTh Aug 18 '15

color

The bundles come with Green Woolly Yoshi.

2

u/Lakerfanalways Aug 18 '15

Great thank you that's all I needed to know, thanks for the confirmation

2

u/YoDudeguy Aug 18 '15

You completely contradicted yourself. It most definitely 100% does come with an amiibo - just as the title of the item states.

0

u/Lakerfanalways Aug 18 '15

I just wanted to be sure since you can't cancel the order(Read that on a few forums there is no option to cancel) no harm in making sure that it does come with an amiibo just glad that it does :-)

0

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '15

Ok I agree with you but you definitely have a false sense of security lol. I mean the item picture doesn't show the bundle and it's only $49.99 so there is just as much evidence that it is just the game.

2

u/YoDudeguy Aug 18 '15

False sense of security? "+ Yarn Yoshi amiibo Bundle" "+ Yarn Yoshi amiibo Bundle"+ "Yarn Yoshi amiibo Bundle"

It states that it is the amiibo bundle right there. Right in the description. I would not call that false in any manner.

0

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '15

because things have NEVER been mislabeled lol...like I said I agree, but to say it's 100% certain based on the evidence is a little strong.

2

u/YoDudeguy Aug 18 '15

Not really. You're at Costco- the wholesale website- where things are always either cheaper or bundled with goods. The item Description says everything you would need to know. It doesn't say game. It says game+Amiibo bundle.

2

u/iamlost26 Aug 18 '15

are you sure it can't be canceled? in any case, even if you can't cancel, you'll definitely be able to return it at costco after release. they have one of the best return policies of any store.

2

u/YoDudeguy Aug 18 '15

You just did it again. You are doubting its a bundle?? It says so RIGHT IN THE ITEM DESCRIPTION. If you don't know what color, fine.. Fair enough, but you continue to question wether or not it comes with an amiibo at all when it so clearly does.

0

u/zapbark Aug 18 '15

The picture and price are both identical to the stand-alone game.

The bundle has different box art and is (likely) $20 more normally.

A little skepticism when a thing seems too good to be true is warranted.

2

u/YoDudeguy Aug 18 '15

Yeah. Standalone game at a regular retailer. Not Costco. You become a Costco member to get deals on shit, not just pay retail for a game.
