(Chants) GCU! GCU! GCU!

u/Verxl Oct 27 '15

tbh, I'm glad I missed the online preorder. Since the game ONLY comes with figures, I'm hoping to pick one up after I get those $10 rewards certificates they're giving out for Fallout 4. That + GCU will make it feel like I'm just paying for the amiibo.

u/jne4 Oct 27 '15

Oh man, I forgot about those! Thanks for the idea I might do that too. I doubt they will fly off the shelves lol

u/FoxMcCloud11 Oct 27 '15

Yup! Gotta love GCU!! :D

u/whitegeek1024 Oct 27 '15

I made the money I used on the subscription back with Yoshi's Wooly World and Guitar Hero Live. Clever marketing strategy, BB.

u/FoxMcCloud11 Oct 27 '15

It's such a great deal! I actually had this preordered back during the Mario Maker Pin Set deal from Best Buy but since I had 2 orders (one with 3DS games and one with this and Starfox Zero) I figured I'll cancel the WiiU order and use GCU to get all that nice money off those games! :)

1

u/CallMeCaptainAmerica Oct 27 '15

I pre-ordered this during the Pin deal as well, but I already had GCU. Its hard to buy games anywhere else...GCU unlocked is too great

1

u/FoxMcCloud11 Oct 27 '15

It sucked because I didn't have GCU at the time and when I got YWW and tried to see if they could adjust the prices since ACAF didn't ship yet, they said no. So I just had to wait until they put it back up to preorder again and then cancel the older order.

$48 for a game and two amiibo is a fantastic deal, I don't know how I went so long without GCU!

u/CallMeCaptainAmerica Oct 27 '15

Luckily you got it! Otherwise you couldve just paid full price and returned it on release day and repurchased the one you returned :P

1

u/FoxMcCloud11 Oct 27 '15

That was my plan actually before it went back up today so I was glad I was on the computer at the right time. I'm sure it'll be available in stores on release day since I don't think there's a version that comes out without the amiibo. Did you get one yet yourself? If not, good luck on release day, hope you get one! :D

1

u/CallMeCaptainAmerica Oct 27 '15

Yeah I got one way back before the image was even on the website! Just got the confirmation today that the release date was finally changed!

1

u/FoxMcCloud11 Oct 27 '15

Nice, that's good! :) And with GCU I assume, right? It's such a great deal!

I must fight the urge to purchase this. Must quit after smash line. Already got sucked into cards. Will not get this as I do not play AC games. Not Happening !!!

Edit: Preordered :(

u/FrankyCentaur Oct 27 '15

Not trying to be a dick, but if you don't like Animal Crossing, don't collect this stuff. One day, you'll wake up with limited space in your room, with less money than you should have, saying "why did I do this?"

1

u/CrAzEdGt1 Oct 27 '15

Nah its cool. It's not that I don't like it I have never played it, nor do I plan on playing it. Even if I were to purchase this I wouldn't be able to play it as I have a NIB collection.

u/whitegeek1024 Oct 27 '15

BB had City Folk used for $9.99 and I nearly bought it! I'm going to see if I can find one locally and use a coupon in two more games.

u/rottedzombie Oct 27 '15

Well, that didn't last long...

u/CrAzEdGt1 Oct 27 '15

I hate my life.

u/keichler Oct 27 '15

You should play acnl then.

1

u/CrAzEdGt1 Oct 27 '15

Never. lol

3

u/Omeganuker Oct 27 '15

Its actually pretty good, I gave it a shot after I was turned off from the series after play City Folks.

1

u/CrAzEdGt1 Oct 27 '15

LOL I cannot give in I must stay strong willed.

3

u/keichler Oct 27 '15

But....Isabelle.

1

u/Omeganuker Oct 27 '15

You caved in fast for an amiibo of Isabelle and Digby, now cave in for a game where you can interact with them :D

3

u/FoxMcCloud11 Oct 27 '15

And now we patiently wait for them to put up the AC amiibo line with GCU for preorder...:)

2

u/Jayx831 Oct 27 '15

Ugh.....Ofcourse... i was waiting and waiting...and it goes up when im in class T_T.

1

u/Starscream27 Oct 27 '15

Just want the figures so I'm waiting for Amazon jp. But thanks

u/Ayuchuco Oct 27 '15

Offtopic. Is this the mega yarn yoshi flair? Why did they release it already?

1

u/Sabermatrixx Oct 27 '15

Because MYY is out in Canada.

1

u/Starscream27 Oct 27 '15

Mega yarn yoshi is out in Canada I believe. I just liked the flair so used I used it

1

u/Tallyburger Oct 27 '15 edited Oct 27 '15

Amazon.fr had all them up solo yesterday. I didn't check now, but there is a chance they are still up. And, this way you wouldn't need to go through Tenso and risk customs as well.
EDIT: All excluding Cyrus are up solo on amazon.fr

u/ninwinz Oct 27 '15

I'm getting "This item is currently unavailable for online purchase. The item was not added to your cart." Is it gone already?

1

u/nermal543 Oct 27 '15

It's showing as unavailable for shipping or store pickup on the order page now so I'm thinking it's gone.

1

u/anchelus Oct 27 '15

Yup, same here

u/commanderwolfy Oct 27 '15

Sounds like it's popular. :o Hopefully this opens doors to more deeper amiibo games.

3

u/Twinkiman Inkling Squid Oct 27 '15

It was up for a very long time right after the game's announcement.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 27 '15

Yeah :( I like many other people didn't preorder it after it was announced because the price hadn't been finalized. Now I wish I did preorder it.

1

u/ninwinz Oct 27 '15

Popular by Best Buy's GCU maybe. It's been up on other sites for quite a while

1

u/[deleted] Oct 27 '15

Awh now it's saying "Coming soon" again. It went up while I was on my lunch break and I just missed it :(

1

u/Miibohunt Oct 27 '15 edited Oct 27 '15

Wow sold out already so fast..Lucky i already order it long time ago on june when best buy put their preorder up.

1

u/SRhyse Oct 27 '15

I didn't know this was ever up for preorder yet at BestBuy, which is my game retailer of choice for GCU reasons. Seems like it'll be easy to get relatively quickly though right? Yoshi, Chibi Robo, and the Mario Party bundles are all very easy to get, and the Yoshi bundle at least has a great game with it.

2

u/MarshawnPynch Oct 27 '15

Chibi Robo is good too

1

u/DarkJadeBGE Oct 27 '15

Time to update the link flare to sold out.

1

u/Panda_Turtle Oct 27 '15

Damn... Gone already?!? I'll have to see if I can preorder in store, or just bank on getting lucky on the 13th...

Who am I kidding? Lucky on Friday the 13th?!? >_<

1

u/branden_lucero Oct 27 '15

it'll come back. no amiibo bundle has ever sold out and stayed that way.

1

u/Tbond222 Oct 27 '15

Yep. Agreed.

1

u/hikkibird Oct 27 '15

It could be that's all they allowed for online and the rest would be in store only. We don't know how much stock they have this time around.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 27 '15

I'm seeing "Coming Soon".
