Ni No Kuni Collector's Edition for EU/NA [failure level well beyond critical mass]
- Thread starter rockman zx
- Start date
oh great - The Wizard's Companion book in Japanese .... they should just release the book in english for 20 and call it a day
I hate how all shirts that come with things like these are always Large otherwise I'd love to have a Ni no Kuni shirt.
I've got two on on pre-order let's hope one of them happens.

Thank Christ I pre-ordered this from Amazon.co.uk the instant this went up!

The Hut/Zavvi are the ones that should be banned on here, not ShopTo. ShopTo aren't as cheap as they used to be, but otherwise they can do no wrong.
I've never used Zavvi before due to the complaints I had read. Unfortunately I had put a pre-order down on TheHut for Ni no Kuni because of the price they had up. Never using them again after the last fe days. Totally agree with you.
Cool. I'd love the Japanese spell book, will encourage my kids with their lessons (Japanese bilingual)
got a shopto shipping notice this morning, DPD next day delivery so should have it tomorrow.

I'm sticking with The Hut for now and seeing what happens. It's a bargain at £63 and instead of prompting me to 'Resolve' the issue, the order status now says 'Awaiting Despatch'. Still concerned though, as something has definitely gone screwy over there.
Off-topic - Cool avatar by the way. That's the fox from the cover art of Brand New's album Daisy. Severely underrated stuff.

We don't. All you can do is wait unfortunately. :-(
If anyone wants to truly complete their collection, I'll be donating my giveaway bag from the recent NBGA media event in San Francisco to one of the game news outlets I freelance for. Features the cursed version of Drippy (1/10th the production count compared to the WE version), the red cape, and the Japanese version of the spellbook.
Stick me into your contest please.
yea shopto sold out also now
been told that GAME instore if u go back sunday they can sell peoples pre orders if that helps people or wait for all those people who orders they wouldnt take cash i bet they will sell those the crittens.I was able to amend it after the first email i got, now i cant with the second.
This has been such a fucking hassle, i had sign up and learn how twitter works to tweet the hut, i wont likely ever get a response. I'm done with the hut group, at least for pre-orders of this sort anyway.
I still have my Hut order going. Hoping a resolution will come about shortly!
OT - Ha, thanks! Yeah I did have the astronaut from Deja Entendu as my avatar for a bit but fancied a change!

I'd loved to be entered to win.
How? I was told the Payment Problem email would provide a link that would help me. I see no such thing? How do your two emails differ?
Edit:

That's handy to know, I will be there on opening on Friday and might just bite the bullet and end up with the standard edition and guide if it comes to it
No!
My tracking say it is "Clearance in Progress". I guess I should expect to pay $55.
I am no luck.

My ShopTo order now says completed. I think that means it is shipping today? Not had a shipping notice email yet.
Mine too, but fortunately I have it set so they text me as well when sending packages.
Irritatingly, the tracking number they've given me doesn't show up anything with DPD but presumably that's because it's not made its way into their system yet.
Anyhoo, should be arriving tomorrow!

Finally got a responce from namco, regarding the standard edition of Ni no Kuni:
We apologize for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, we are unable to
provide any information regarding the availability of the product.

The first time, i clicked the "your account" that was highlighted in the email and it took me straight to a page where i could update my details specific to that order. I just input my security code from the back of my card and that was that. I then got another email, that was exactly the same as the first, about 4 hours later saying there was a problem but this time when i click on "your account" it just takes me to my account where i can see all my orders. There is a change default payment details at the bottom, which i re-entered, and I've not had an email since.

Well, I'm not getting this game on Friday, that's for damn sure.

Maybe before stocking their own store, they're sending them out to retailers?
I hear GameStop keeps selling out despite getting new waves of regular versions every few days.

No, but they DID have stock yesterday:

I will happily be that Gaffer if Zavvi fuck me over. Which, as time goes on, I'm thinking they will.

If this is a contest/raffle/whatever then enter me.
All I really want is the Cursed Drippy though...

Very interested.
I know that myself and several others ordered from The Hut/Zavvi back in July because it was priced at £67-ish (I believe - instead of the RRP of £79.99). This in conjunction with a 10% voucher code brought the price down to £61-ish - which is a fantastic price for the collector's edition. Just a shame that the site is such a shambles!

Yeah basically what foobarry's spoiler says - it was
less money
EDIT: I should add that I haven't actually received it yet, nor has it shipped, so there's still room for things to go horribly wrong, but so far I've seen no cause that I should be worried about Amazon. Touch wood and all that.

I did originally, because at the time it wasn't for certain that my own shop would be getting them. Then we got word we would be getting them and then I canceled the amazon one. Of course yesterday it turned out we won't be getting them, so now I'm fucked. Next time I'll probably just keep my amazon order at all times.

So, The Hut Group took a collective day off today, or so it seems?
Probably been in meeting the whole day about damage control.
