this is huge for pokemon, especially since these are two of the biggest games to come out for pokemon since heart gold and soul silver.

[Cosmic_Link]

[GameTrigger]

[singer07]

hope someone does a group buy, i dont think this will be coming to the US.

[Cosmic_Link]

Ill do a group buy for these! ^^ Ill setup a thread later. :D

[Thetof91]

I just got message back from GameStop Denmark that they will be getting these! :D

So I guess GameStop in other european countries also will be getting it :)

[Cosmic_Link]

Hmmm.... interesting. If they're going to be at Gamestops over there, there's a chance there'll be more of these than I first thought.

Ha ha just preordered these and nipped on here to check they'd been posted - well beaten :surrender:

Did you pre-order through Game or through the Nintendo Store? I'm wondering if its possible for ME to order through the Nintendo UK Store or not, but have never tried before.

Also yes, thoroughly defeated! ;)

[Redmagster]

Nintendo Store - it's the only place you get both the steelbook AND the legendary figures :barsong:

Game will have a preorder legendary figure bonus but no steel....

If you can't order shout me and I'll help :yes:

[r3galbum]

We can't order through Nintendo store >.<. I tried earlier.

[Thetof91]

You can't order from there with out a address in UK.. :)

I wonder if GameStop will have the figurine too, not that really matter for me :)

[asian1skill]

Man beat me to posting it hahaha. yeah region lock is kind of dumb during this time and age. ANyways really hope someone does do a group buy since there was suppose to be X and Y steel book but that never happened.

There's already one open in the GB section for the "GAME" edition - not sure if its different or not yet. Cosmic_Link opened it up awhile ago ;)

[Thetof91]

Look a bit up :) cosmic got a group buy :)

[Twisted]

i guess steelbook abandoned the other style large plastic tub 3DS game steelbooks...i wish they would of done this style from the get go.

[Twisted]

I wonder if the size of the steelbook will be within the dimensions of a standard 3DS case?..then again, the 3DS game case is "fatter" more like the DS case for PAL markets, whereas Japan and USA get the slimmed down case, but nonetheless, steelbook must have kept international market standards in mind, when designing this product..i just hope it's not some "off size" ..but something that can sit well integrated in a display shelf.

Cosmic_Link created a group buy.

you can also order it yourself from Game.uk.co, the shipping to the US would be £4.95 to the US.

[billysheen]

Anyone know if they take payment upfront at the nintendostore or at despatch?

[Cosmic_Link]

Nintendo store take payment at despatch if you pay wit credit/debit card and upfront with PayPal if I remember rightly.

[rapister]

to prevent overloading Cosmic, Amazon FR (http://www.amazon.fr/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?__mk_fr_FR=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%9 5%C3%91&url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=pokemon+steelbook) still has them for preorder, just steelbook, no figures.

in fact the steelbook version is going cheaper than the regular edition at 40 EUR, minus tax its 33 EUR per game, shipping is about 24 EUR, so 33 + 33 + 24 = 90 EUR for me

(which is approximately 80 GBP)
