I Want that stupid case so much, I'm so pressed it's not coming to NoE and it's already sold out online so can't even import

Exactly where I'm at. :/

Those shots slightly restored my hype for the Master Edition contents.
You are going to get mad over a low limited supply of an extremely limited special product?
People have to justify scalping somehow.

There is nothing to justify. It's not like he went out and pre-ordered one with the intent to scalp it. Same for myself. Market conditions are now making it very tempting to flip it. If Nintendo had plans to make enough to satisfy the demand, guess what? I'd be keeping mine because I want that damn sword. But they don't and now the market price is adjusting for that fact. It is a tempting proposition right now, even for those of us that actually got it because we actually wanted it.
I think this case is so much nicer:

It's the coin that I'd want.

As someone who complains about (and hates) scalpers all the time, I agree. Intention and scale matter. Realizing the market value of something after ordering and then deciding to sell it is different to me then the people that order as many as possible (or even just one) with the intention of flipping it. Sure, both are taking advantage of the limited market but one didn't go in with the intention of being a literal leach to the process that adds no value. And again, intention matters. I do wish more of these things were made but my desire for it has nothing to do with it's limited nature, whereas I'm sure that drives a lot of the craze and sales of it from other people.
That's enough from me. Just butthurt over hearing someone talk about how many Master Edition's they got on preorder while at Best Buy yesterday.

Anyone know when pre-orders are going up on Play-Asia?
Is there a way to be notified when they do?

People get nuts over scalping. I have a pre order because I'm a massive obsessive Zelda fan. I'm also a reasonable adult. When I saw that preorders were selling on eBay for $500+ I looked at my preorder and thought to myself "this could pay for my entire console and just a normal copy of the game".
It's on the people who pay that much and Nintendo for supply problems. If I decide that I'd rather have a free Switch and game instead of a few trinkets and a small plastic sword, then oh well. I preordered because I wanted it, but I'd much rather have $500.

It's a market of opportunity if I've ever seen one lol

That is my only hesitation in putting it up. I feel like there are scam bids/purchases going on for prices to be so inflated right now.

The real question is why Nintendo just doesn't make more of these special editions. They always sell out within minutes so it's not like they will be left rotting on shelves if they make 2x more. And at $130, they are probably making a hefty profit compared to previous SE that were $10-$20 more than the base price.

Still salty Wii U version is getting nothing. Steelbook, soundtrack cd, anything?
nothing.
Well, you get to play the game knowing it's the inferior version, even though it was promised as a Wii U title years ago. As someone who's buying the Switch day one, I'm still a little peeved that it came to this and basically repeated the TP fiasco, though this time the new version is likely going to be the definitive version of the game unlike the Wii version of TP.
to be quite honest, all wii u owners are getting almost the same game except for some details, that is good enough
RPGCrazied

That is disappointing. They could have given us something. Keep in mind this game was a Wii U game first before the switch even took shape. I understand they want to sell switches, but its already the better version technical wise.
Yea, they basically want people to "switch" to the new console.

Dunno, but won't the DCE be like $200 after the Play-Asia tax?
EndlessFloydian

Never preordered anything from there before. Whats DCE? I was probably just going to get the special edition. How much would that be including shipping (and DCE) to Tennessee?

You get a $300 discount
sword does not look like high quality considering the $30 price tag.
It is interesting to see that they have included the flower shown so many times already, with one bud in blossom and another yet to bloom, likely will do so when Link takes the master sword.
Also: Any additional speculation on 'Breath of the Wild' - this sounds like wind to me, but it doesn't appear that wind is a central theme to this game.

Best Buy still has Special Editions up... I sense cancellations coming near launch, since they tend to oversell.
Omegasquash

Well done.
Looks cool, and I hope they make enough so that everyone who wants one can get one without scalper tax. I'm gong to pass...I just don't have enough space for it, and I'm also not sold on a Switch yet, so there's that.

Oh I thought you wanted the Japanese Deluxe Collector's Edition.
what are the japanese editions? same as NA or EU?
It's actually not truly up for pre order anymore. It says not available for shipping, and you can search by store but I doubt any stores still have them

Lol the eBay listings keep getting taken down for the masters edition. You know people are just sitting there reporting the listings for being too early because they didn't get a copy.
ha, i was wondering why there were so few.
jstevenson

yeah, which is actually serving to keep the prices artificially high as the true supply of reseller copies isn't out there.

So frustrated that no more Special Editions have shown up on Amazon. 
I want that case so badly.

$500 on eBay
And I wouldn't rule out the possibility of finding special editions in shops day one. I happened a lot with Nintendo LE.
