Here's the black one.
Here's the felt one.
Here's the pink one.
Here's the teal one.
Here's the wood grain one.
I bought the white one for my white HHD bundle unit, debating on getting the teal, wood, or felt one someday.

I'm gonna keep my Majora Mask XL, but I'm not sure which one I'm gonna use as my primary console.
I think the original matte black plates that came with the Japanese version look amazing, I just can't find them anywhere and I was a little disappointed the console didn't come with them and have the mario plates as free additions.

Bought black version from Amazon at 7:35 PM Wednesday
Originally said arriving on Tuesday (29th)
1:12 PM yesterday (24th, Thanksgiving) got the email about the incorrect price and how my order would be adjusted although I only ordered one (and at the correct price)
Today at 4 PM it says that it has shipped and will be arriving tomorrow (26th, Saturday)

Guess I freaked out over nothing since that is what I'm think my situation will end up being. I 'm just waiting on the last part.
Would switching the shipping address mess this process up for me? (soon to be first time 3DS owner)

Not to my knowledge, but there's a neat Kirby one that has the appearance of craft paper though it's still plastic.
Here's the full lineup of what's available at retail in Japan.

There's a few that were exclusive to bundles (such as this one in Korea), promos, and regions, but that's the bulk of them.

Are all you Amazon buyers actually finding the $99 model, or are you feeding the scalpers? I can't see anything online that's less than $160.

I will also be a first time 3DS owner. The last portable I had was a Game Boy Pocket. The scariest part to me was the incorrect price email. I suspect that the change from Tuesday to Saturday was because they weren't sure which warehouse it was coming from yet. Between order received and it being shipped it was on "preparing to ship" and "shipping now." In fact I believe that it was on shipping now 10:30 or so last night. I'm sorry I don't have the answer to whether changing the shipping address will delay it or not.
It seems that Amazon is stocking at random times, so people can actually get it for $100. At any other time, it's only available from the scalpers.

I cancelled my Amazon order so there's another black one in the wild somewhere.

It's all good, it makes sense, I thought the incorrect price email would zero out my order and just leave it in limbo because the status had not changed since putting in the order on Wednesday. I'm excited regardless, whenever they send it.
I jumped the gun and switch the shipping address from my work to home and it changed to expected to ship on Monday. It is what it is, definitely appreciate the response though!
Hahaha, mine had 14. I was in line for one and they sold out with five or six people in front of me.
