Don't worry guys even if we got this in the U.S. it would be a limited Piggly Wiggly exclusive.

Very high. The decal will probably be upside down as well.

Most low stock was #50. Zelda is around but importers are scalping it. However, face plates in general is better stocked than Amiibo.

Get your New 3DS exclusively at Bed Bath & Beyond, or with your Happy Meal at McDonalds
Xenoblade FacePlate will be exclusive to Home Depot.

He's been like that on Twitter as well with constant harrassment of those involved in the #OperationFaceplateNA campaign

Goddamnnnn. I've never played Xenoblade before and just seeing that faceplate makes me want to just get a standard N3DS instead of an XL.
I preordered the Kirby and Pikachu ones (the multitude of them) and amiami still hasn't asked for payment cause they still don't have stock. Most of the other faceplates sold out as well like the Glow in the dark Boo one which I really wanted.
The Zelda triforce one that was announced a while ago sold out in like 10minutes in amiami so I couldn't get a preorder in. This one was I think a Limited Edition so I guess that explains it? But yeah faceplates tend to sell out quickly (at least on amiami)
My faceplate collection right now is the KPP Eyes one, the Japanese Smash one and the White MH4 ones. I NEED THIS ONE.

Time to import this...unless it gets officially released here in Europe.
Honestly, I can finally see why you guys want it so much. I'm for it now.
This is the first I've actually been legitimately angry that we didn't get the regular new 3DS here. And the messaging recently about it being a marketing decision drives NoA deeper into the hole. Seriously, fuck you NoA. You're dicking over your core fanbase that is the same base keeping you afloat here.
I agree completely. I would be angry in your position, I think the outpouring of disappointment and email campaigns and so on are 100% warranted.
But can't there be some room made for people who either have an n3DS or are willing to import one and actually want to talk about the faceplates? When they'll be released, what materials they'll be made from, the best combinations, how the glossy plastic holds up against scratches, how the felt holds up against sweat, predictions of how much stock will be available and the best sites to order from. All that seems to be lost in a great sea of low effort anti-NOA comments that have already been made more effectively elsewhere. At some point life has to go on. Imagine if every Bayonetta 2 discussion was swamped with complaints about how it isn't available on PS4/XB1 and that it's unreasonable to expect people to spend $300 just to play one game.

Yes.
I find my imported n3DS from France was a good value at $160 with shipping. I am importing this.
I've only just started using my KPP Eyes one while juggling it between my white MH4 ones and the Jap Smash ones.
STILL THO IT LOOKS AWESOME.

Why can't I have that, NoA?
It's beautiful ;_;

Not yet, we're still waiting. Hopefully within a month, I'm dying to play some games on my JP system :/

Well that's a surprising turnaround.... How long before you once again go back to the, "Nintendo's choice was a sound one, so suck it up and get the XL or settle for the old shit" routine?

Looks nice, but if NoA did release the n3ds I would have gotten the 3dsxl still

De nada. I'll stay out of your business on Twitter. I'm not going to pull crap like that again.
SweeT lord tell me how you did it. I must have the white one with the colored buttons!

Welp, time to watch AmiAmi like a hawk.
or pray local stores get some stock.
EB Games please don't fail me now. I still also need that Zelda starter pack Australia is getting.

I haven't even played xenoblade, but I'd definitely rock the fuck out of that faceplate.
If NoA didn't have other plans that is.
At least they can import and use it on a local system, whereas we, in the NoA region, have no choice in the matter whatsoever.
Same here lol I hope NoE brings it over here.

Yeah, I've been feeling the same way honestly. :/ I've always somewhat defended their crazy decisions everyone else seems to go all O_______________o about ... but now I've pretty much joined in and also feel so clueless and left out with their choices.
