Zelda Breath of the Wild Master Edition Revealed

Mine just updated to the 3rd so keep an eye on your emails I guess.
Hasn't been stated, but if it's 24 tracks, I'd consider that a sampler in terms of game OST's.
Which is an absolute rip, considering I just bought the FFXV complete OST (which has 96 tracks) and a bunch of other OST's for ~$40 AUD or less.

Mine (special edition) also just got updated to March 3rd. Now if only I could get the Master Edition from amazon or bestbuy...
Those figurines are always trash. A moratorium should be put on those things, and universally replace them with full-sized art books.

I felt so lucky when I got the Majora's Mask 3DS CE with the Skull Kid statue.
It's cool and all, but doesn't really make my life any better. I won't miss that sword.
The CD on the other hand... glad I got the Special Edition!

I'm gonna have to luck out at eBay for a special edition now, huh? I'm guessing the major online places won't have restocks?

I have a Master Edition pre ordered but that sword looked really rubbery and bent on the stream.
$190AUD for a terrible statue, "sampler" CD, a coin and a map. I'm pretty sure that briefly had the version with the case up but then downgraded it but the price stayed the same. The best part is that it's sold out, smh.
wtf, the case was the whole reason I ordered it. Tell me you're joking.
No case for either the JB or EB Limited Edition for Aus. Basically paying $100 extra for rubbish.

Damn. Are the eBay prices legit on the Master and Special editions? Yikes! I wonder how many of those sold listings are from legit buyers though? Crazy times.

Should be solid if seller knows what they're doing. They can set parameters on who can bid/win their auction based on reputation and past behavior.
With that said, Ebay is cracking down on pre-orders...to a degree. They want people to push these auctions within 30 days the game releases. Normally, the buyer can put in a claim after 30 days saying they didnt receive an item. While this could happen to any number of peope selling this on ebay, their claims will get denied on account of buyer putting release date as 3/3/2017.
Regardless, a lot of these are selling FAST on ebay, faster than ebay can take the auction down (at which point, ebay has to honor the transaction between the buyer and seller since it was completed)

I assume im out of luck when it comes to the special edition? Or is there a chance for a restock before launch?

I agree with a lot of people here saying this special/master edition stuff is junk. I mean who gives a shit about the coin/map/cd first off (please stop making coins Nintendo, they are utterly useless). The "value" is in the case and sword. The case is gaudy and the sword looks cheap af like a soft rubber. Even if it wasn't wouldn't we much rather have a character statue?
Maybe it's just me. The best things in special editions to me are usually artbooks/steelcases but then that isn't $130.

I love artbooks and steelcases, but they are as useful as a coin, don't fool yorself, and also stop thinking that if something is not "useful" it shouldn't be done, I love this special edition as well as many others considering they sold in mintutes

The sword is some cheap ass plastic
Shame EU don't get the case... just the bent sword
Wow, that looks like a piece of shit statue.
Seriously reconsidering my pre-order of the Master Edition.

I'm still deciding which version I want to keep.
I have the master edition pre-ordered through GameStop. Total cost with shipping was $149.79.
I have the special edition pre-ordered through Best Buy. After GCU and free in store pickup the total was $85.59.
I tried to pre-order the master at Best Buy, but it was gone too fast (noticed about 5 minutes after it went up). So... is that plastic sword worth the $75 difference???

Just buy the full OST from YesAsia or something for $40AUD when it comes out.
That's what I'm doing.

is this really what it looks like?
lol
imo, lolno
Others may find that the sword does have value to it, but having seen what it's like I'm happy with the special edition pre-order.

I don't wanna be that guy, but make sure you don't cancel any orders. You can do something with the one you decide not to keep.

Yeah, might just do that. I also hadn't realised there was a full soundtrack coming out already.

Actually the sword is unbendable by mortals. Only the strength of Reggie can bend it.
Who am I kidding, what a piece of shit.
There are a lot of people here who rather have the special over the masters, because they don't like the figure (I do), but could either preorder only the masters or saw the figure after the preorder they made and decided to not want it.
So, as a person who wants the figure, but didn't had the chance I thought that may be someone want to swap now that there is no chance for either

Damn that's like $200 Canadian.
There are few available there for pickup only few stores that still have one, not shipping
(For example, Florida is completely sold in all stores, AFAIK)

I know you are right, but I don't want to deal with ebay scammers/etc.
I'm preeeety sure you can sell it here on the Buy\Sell\Trade thread for a little more price and someone would buy it.
I would suggest you not cancel it, may be even offer it to another poor soul here who couldn't order one?

I've never even thought of the buy/sell thread (or been there), thanks for the suggestion.

Ebay is quite the goldmine apparently. I dunno about potential scammers though. May be more hassle than it's worth. But a GOLDMINE!!!

Ah, gotcha. I pre-ordered the day after I pre-ordered the Switch at BB too, with no hassles. I hadn't checked on the status of the special edition since but I saw where the Switch pre-order is sold out everywhere.
