Ni No Kuni Wrath of The White Witch

[ferrari100]

Is it for definite there there is a UK only version?
It's just that Game has an image of a euro version on their website and usually they sell the UK only version?
**dunno**

I have twice received an eu ce from game.co.uk but thats when they were in admin :/ I'm gonna go on amazon chat in a bit and ask them when theyre putting more copies up.
Even though namco have confirmed amazon have more I doubt they wont relist them till release day.

[Cortex]

I just happened to be on shop.to at the right time yesterday evening and got a pre-order in. I have the confirmation e-mail but it does say there's no contractual guarantee etc so fingers crossed.

Trying to buy one today just says "all gone, sorry".

[Redmagster]

[QUOTE=Cosmic_Link;102199]Don't worry about the shopto one, as I already have an order for the PAL Wizards Ed. :D Cheers anyway! :D Stick the other on ebay. Could pay for your copy! :P

I just want the DLC codes that amazon offer for pre-ordering, providing they haven't all gone! >.<[/

Have you seen anything on Amazon yet??

[Cosmic_Link]

Have you seen anything on Amazon yet??

Nothing mate. Have been F5ing since I got back on the comp. Have been checking on phone all day too. No email for availability either.

Maybe they won't be listing til closer to release to stop ebay scalpers... o.0

[Raven]

^ I never EVER received a email or text from Amazon saying stuff is back in stock, believe me and signed alot of those although I don't have the need for it now ..... just saying.

I'm dying to know what Namco Bandai are offering though as a apology for the lateness though.

Also if they extended the time for that ninostarter thing for pre-order bonuses, it can be so easily maxed out and for the rest of the world too =p

[johnymohny]

I find amazon will put more stock on the morning of release day, they did tr same with diablo

[ferrari100]

Ni no Kuni been and gone on Amazon today.
Some idiot posted it on UKHD

Nooooooo!!! How long was it up for?? :( What time?

[vhal_x]

Absolute dickheads >.< That will be someone posting to let all the bloody scalpers know :( I missed out. Oh well, will just have to stick with my Zavvi order xx

[vhal_x]

Nooooooo!!! How long was it up for?? :( What time?

According to Amazon UK comments, went up at 10.10am, sold out by 10.30 :( xx

[ferrari100]

It allowed me to place one in my basket when I saw it but advised no stock left.

I got one with shopto so will stick with that.

[Redmagster]

According to Amazon UK comments, went up at 10.10am, sold out by 10.30 :( xx

Why do people do that??? Real gamers / collectors are on forums - post deals there if you care - why UKHD??? Just for 10 mins of kudos!!! :twisted:

[Redmagster]

It allowed me to place one in my basket when I saw it but advised no stock left.

Wonder how many they had - was 54.99 too :( :(

[vhal_x]

I was signed up for the alert email aswell, never got it. Surprise surprise. I hate people sometimes >.<

Not a doubt in my mind that at least 90% of the people who nabbed them, did so to sell on :suicide: xx

[ferrari100]

Hey,
you think maybe we should pm that dude and educate him/her?

[johnymohny]

You guys think they'll be anymore from amazon before release?

[Redmagster]

You guys think they'll be anymore from amazon before release?

Doesn't look like they were up for long and reading the comments on UKHD not many got them so wonder if it was really limited number - in a way I hope so... I never got an alert either...

[ferrari100]

I PM'ed tejstar the link to this thread.

Not his fault I guess. Probably just trying to help others not realizing 90% would go to the scalpers.

People just don't realize that place is full people fighting it out to make money.


ALSO:
WTF is wrong with amazons email system??
I think most of us had email-alert setup.

Where would I go (anyone have a link) to complain about this?
If we all did maybe they might do something about it?

Interestingly in the comments Tejstar does say 'hope that helped a few people' so prob an honest gamer trying to help others without realising 95% of those signed up to UKHD do so to spot real bargains, snap them up then resell at a massive profit meaning the people they were trying to help in the first place lose out even more....

Funily enough I am on Amazon chat right now...

[Redmagster]

My opening comments to them...

I had been hoping to buy from you the Ni No Kuni Wizards edition and Namco tweeted that you would be releasing more stock so I signed up for an email alert and have been constantly checking the product page for 2 days... Then, guess what, it goes up at 10am this morning, I get no email alert but some idiot posts it to UK Hot Deals meaning it instantly sells out to scalpers who will resell at a massive profit meaning genuine collectors / gamers lose out massively...

Why have an email alert system if it does not work - I have never received an alert from you regarding a product going back into stock. Will you be getting more of this product??

[Redmagster]

Looks like i missed out again :(

Kitty - I have an extra Shopto order if you wnat one?? I got two as Cosmic was desperate to get one and haven't cancelled yet as I know others too wanted it

[Fitzgera1d]

Anyone know when these are actually getting dispatched? I never got an email saying they was sent out. I also went through my old emails and it turns out that I accidently preordered 16 of these copies instead of 8. I guess there was duplicate orders I made??? gawd, thats gonna put a dent in my bank. I do have a few people locally here purchasing strait from me and I will update with everyone's PMs if there are any available left. If anyone was wondering, YES, I WILL charge extra; but only for shipping+gas which wouldn't break anyone's bank. :) Happy hump day to you all.

[Redmagster]

Release date at the moment is Feb 1 - where are your orders for??

[TruenoBoy86]

damn namco cancelled my order which i made minutes after it became available on the 17th because of their stupid inventory system !!

Of course! You are very welcome to it :)

Just wondering if it is worth trying to change the addresss to yours of whether it is safer to send it on to you - do you have a preference?

[kittychloe]

well if you forward it to me then we could just even that out postage wise as it will probably cost the same to send that to me as it would sending the 3 boxes to you.. just need your paypal to send you the moneys

Yet they fail to provide stock for those who currently ordered :facepalm:

Yes, it looks like we did. :( Not impressed with the PAL one at all! >.<

[OniRyo]

Lol, that really looks quite simple boxed, the American box looks way cooler, imo!.

[Digi]

Looks like you are right. At least the US box does look nice. When he opened it up I said to myself: That looks empty!
Anyone want to trade a EU edition for a US one? :D

[vhal_x]

Man, the PAL one looks so shitty :/ xx

[Ryu Kazama]

I disagree, apart from the EU version not having a window box, the box is much better. There's extra detailing that the US box just doesn't have. The best option would've been our sleeve on their box.

Edit: I take "the best option" bit back. I like our box a bit more just because of the finer details (that gold!) and the little familiar sketches. The US box only benefits from being a window box.

[Matrix6]

Errr, both the US (Namco Edition) and PAL used flimsy cardboard boxes, the Namco Edition was $100 with more contents, they were charge $140+ here with less contents!
PAL got cheated mainly because of pricing imo. Bad enough we missed out on a fair bit of contents.

[kittychloe]

looks like the games isnt getting the best reviews either

[Madigan]

Game reviews?

[ingmar1988]

some good. some lesser good reviews.

I would have expected more somewhat 7-ish reviews, seeing the reactions to the japanese versions. which would be to grindy, to many fight, and the battle system not up to par to audio/visuals.

[Letrico]

looks like the games isnt getting the best reviews either

It's quite unfortunate really. The battle system is quite traditional JRPG. Even if you can move it's still turn based battle.

JRPGs have a special difficulty curve. Usually around mid game where you had to grind to continue the game. I guess that was where the reviewers are stuck at having very difficult boss fights due to JRPG inexperience.

I won't blame them either. That's the charm of JRPG that I love. I doubt namco bandai paid much money for people to review their game like CoD does.

Every single CoD review is like BEST SHOOTER EVAAARRR GOTYYYYY. Never seen one win since CoD4 Modern Warface.

$67,200 in profit and counting...

[winds]

This entire experience with namco, digital river, and the wizards edition has been so... chaotic.

I ordered mine way back when it was first announced, using a middle-man service to help ship the item from the US to Canada for me (since at the time Namco only shipped within the US).

When they finally announced they'll ship to Canada, I emailed them asking if it was possible to change my address to my actual Canadian home, instead of paying the middle man fee's. They replied back that they sent a "request" to have my address changed on the order but can't confirm if it will actually change in time or not (even though the release was MONTHS away? odd).

I asked them if they could let me know the status of the address change if they received any updates on it, then asked a simple question of "would it be better to cancel this order and re-order a new one using my correct Canadian address?". Instead of answering the question, digital river in all their stupidity went ahead and cancelled my order, then told me to order another one. Wtf? I didn't ask you to cancel it, I just wanted to know if that would be the easier route. Whatever, I went to go make a new order and lo and behold? It's sold out now. I emailed them back telling them to re-activate my previous order. They said it was impossible and nothing could be done. No apologies, no explanation, basically "so long, good luck".

I spent the better part of 2 or 3 weeks emailing them back and forth as well as calling them (long distance, mind you) with varying degrees of anger and hostility on my part, due to their complete fuck-up and negligence. Short story of that is, I was shit out of luck.

Fast forward to now. I read about all these people apparently ordering a restock on the 17th, to which I was completely unaware of and was late to the party by a week, :(. I hear everyone (or most) who ordered that day, are getting their orders cancelled, along with *some* people who ordered last year. Digital-River is such a complete fucking waste of time. During my experience with them I researched them a lot and the internet is literally littered with horror stories from them, and this shit has been going on for years.

Now the funny part? Someone on the namco bandai forum posted some link to namcos online store that allowed you to "purchase" an in-stock wizards edition. I realized my chances were slim, but I figured wth, i'll give it a shot and follow that link and re-order one. Now this morning I received a shipping email saying my order has been shipped with a tracking number. Awesome... but... WTF???

Just completely chaotic and a huge cluster fuck. I hope digital river burns from this entire fiasco, and I hope Namco smartens up from this situation and decides to go with another distributor in the future, preferrably Treehouse (since their customer service is absolutely top notch, partially due to Ryan posting on here, as well as my actual experiences with them).

[Xmo]

kinda pissed right now because I'm trying to get cosmic a copy and they've cancelled it and I'm asking another member to get my own copy. I'm going to Cypress tomorrow for some personal stuff and that's the city where Namco Bandai Headquarters is so if anybody would like to do a complaint letter, I'll be happy to march straight into their headquarters and give it to them. Just PM it to me and I'll print it :)

Edit: Never mind that is only Bandai lol

[MortalMonday]

It's not just with this release, the namco store/digital river people are totally inept.
I've had nothing but bad experiences dealing with them. It took 4 different orders before they sent my enslaved statues. That is to say that I had to try to get those pieces 4 separate times before they actually sent them. They kept fucking up my orders, again and again; and they even straight up stole some money from me. They pocketed shipping fees for orders that were never sent.

And lord help you if you have to contact them. Their customer service email system is atrocious. You'll get the run around 'til your head spins off!

[Madigan]

That link was used by customer service to re-order cancelled pre orders, but someone posted it on the internet, that's why they are shipping them first. One thing I don't understand, why open new pre orders on 17th if they can't even ship orders from the ninostarter campaign :scratch:

[MortalMonday]

Also if anyone can help me get a wizards edition copy, I would really appreciate it. Can't afford to lay eBay prices,

[Madigan]

and BTW the soundtrack cd only has 2 songs. Why waste money making a cd for 2 songs... :rotf:

[TruenoBoy86]

Yup, they cancelled mine too. :( Also ordered on the 17th. What a cock up. >.<

oh man sorry to hear that :( what a mess, the stupid most annoying frustrating part is that they charged or authorised my card a day before that stupid digital river cancellation message, meaning i could have got it and will all work but now i have to wait 21 days to get my money back in my debit card because they put my amount on hold and their cancellation notice doesn't help to release the hold early but will call the bank either way....

This. No idea where that talk of "not getting good reviews" has been coming from. It got decent reviews in Japan as well. It's the sales that weren't as you'd think, where the DS version got the lion's share.

And seriously? 2 songs on the CD? Wow. That is beyond awful.

[Ryu Kazama]

Errr, both the US (Namco Edition) and PAL used flimsy cardboard boxes, the Namco Edition was $100 with more contents, they were charge $140+ here with less contents!

What were you expecting? It's a standard type of card. I think a lot of people need to get their expectations/entitlement issues realigned, I guess. True, the NiNoStarter version you would image a box quality more like Square's Dissidia quality (or XIII-2).

I'm quite certain most people won't mind so much when they actually get it.

[Monstermug]

I brought a game once with a soundtrack cd included that lasted 30 seconds so 2 songs isn't out of the ordinary for me.

[Rumpy]

And seriously? 2 songs on the CD? Wow. That is beyond awful.

The only part of the US copy I was jealous of was the soundtrack, if that is the case then I really don't feel that bad about having a UK copy. I can live without a coin and prints.

[Monstermug]

Someone should fix the database. UK release isn't till 1st Feb 2013.

[Fitzgera1d]

If you look at PlayCanada's eBay, looks like they only have 2 available now.

Hey again

Did you manage to retain your orders and do you still have spare?? I managed to get two through Shopto and one has gone to KittyChloe but got an email last night from a really good friend in Canada who has had his order cancelled and is gutted :( bad timing on my spare one!!

If you do have any Namco orders I would def take you up on one and pass one of mine on to him - he is a serious collector gamer and there is no way it would get sold on! :)

[Cosmic_Link]

With recent stuff I have has from game on pre-order, they haven't dispatched it until the day before release. We'll see.

Wonder when amazon are gonna ship my guide... 0.o

Also, has anything else been said about the whole cancellation of NTSC Eds? Namco-Bandai not offering any compensation for this shambles? Still really gutted about it! :(

[Queeny]

Gratz Romeo ! hope you enjoy the game .
I'm also waiting for amazon uk to ship my copy of this lovely collection ...i can't wait to put my hands on it ><"

I want to ask you about the hardcover guide .. is it the same as the book inside the Ni No Kuni Wizard Edition ? or not ?

thanks

Speak of the devil. I just got the confirmation. I can rest in peace finally. Well hopefully I don't get sent a crushed one :) <---- maybe I worry to much lol

I'm also waiting for amazon uk to ship my copy of this lovely collection ...i can't wait to put my hands on it ><"

I want to ask you about the hardcover guide .. is it the same as the book inside the Ni No Kuni Wizard Edition ? or not ?

thanks


Thank you! I went through absolute hell to get it. 8 phone calls and 3 hours on the phone to digital river.

The book in the set is the wizard book in the game, an exact replica! The guide is just that, a strategy guide book. Plus it has a ton of making of story and interviews, besides the walkthroughs, info, etc.

[enesis]

US Ni No Kuni Wizard Edition

Anyone ordered with zavvi?

[CanisCanemEdit]

I ordered this back during the ninostarter period in August. My order got cancelled because they are a bunch of half wits, so I was lucky to have someone pass me a number to call where they put in another order for me in their system. I never knew about the secret link that went live and got priority over everyone else. I luckily got shipping confirmation that my order went through and it will be 2 days before it reaches me. God forbidding and all.

I think everyone got screwed in this situation and it was highly unfair that recent orders done in January took precedence over people who ordered last year and were the reason the Wizard edition even got 3 extra items and that foundation of support. I don't know about any of you, but this has been my most expected rpg in awhile, having been a big fan of Dark Cloud, and I'm gonna treasure the **** out of this edition.

Good luck to everyone still.

[Matt16]

I ordered from Zavvi. got an email today saying they're trying to take payment but it won't go through. Seeing as I preordered it months ago, I've changed my credit card and don't use the one I registered anymore. I've emailed them to try and use another card but haven't heard anything back yet.

Anyway it looks like they're shipping them now

[Digi]

I got the same email. updated the info and now it's sitting on processing

[Skylar]

Strangely I got the same email from Zavvi, no idea what's going on.

[Matt16]

I got the same email. updated the info and now it's sitting on processing

How did you update the info. I know I must be being dense but I couldn't find how to change an order? There didn't seem to be any option for altering an existing order, other than cancelling it.

[Digi]

I had an option to resolve the problem, clicked that and got 3 options: re-charge card, fix details for the card or enter a new card

[vhal_x]

I got the same email too, but they've taken payment so there is obviously no problem. Just something on their end causing all the emails (nipperkipper reassured me when I ranted about this in the "what is on your mind" thread in Off Topic earlier).

Hoping mine will be dispatched soon xx

[Matt16]

I had an option to resolve the problem, clicked that and got 3 options: re-charge card, fix details for the card or enter a new card

That's weird, I don't have that option.

Guess I'll just have to wait for them to get back to me.

Thanks for that, I've ordered one from there as well just in case. Knowing the luck I've had lately and with Zavvi being run by monkeys something is bound to go wrong.

[Redmagster]

Anyone else ordered from Shopto?? Had any updates yet? I've also just ordered from Play so thanks NoScruffyNo - just getting edgy on this one...

[Ryu Kazama]

I was charged from Shopto. Hopefully it'll ship tomorrow morning.

I agree. Same boat for me. Canceled orders, for no reason. Then they refused to even take my money from an 'unsubmitted order'. A call to CS got me a wizard edition, after 7 phone calls and 2.5 hours on the phone during the week prior.

[Redmagster]

So Shopto and Coolshop have now shipped orders.... :bananalama:

[vhal_x]

More stock available at ShopTo.net xx

[Redmagster]

Gone again.... :/ x

Think they are releasing some international orders that dont get fulfilled so prob a case of refreshing frequently for those still looking...

Did you get Zavvi sorted Vhal?? xx

[Fitzgera1d]

Got an email from my dad that the games came in last week.. Ugh, it's so far for me to get them. sigh*

No idea, they've taken payment for it so I assume the email was a mistake, but it's still sitting at Awaiting Dispatch, and I've yet to receive any replies from anybody who works at Zavvi CS :( xx

I've just received that email too, despite going to the bank yesterday and seeing that they have in fact taken the payment.

Why is there no fucking phone number to phone them?! ARGHHH! xx

Damn... used to be you'd get someone on that number... an actual human and everything... :think:

[Romeo]

Sounds like digital river in the US, except over in your neck of the woods. :(

[Matt16]

I've just gotten the same email!

Evil is afoot with the Zavvi monkeys

[Skylar]

Same here, tried different credit cards, keep getting the same email every time "payment problem". Tried phoning, but no human response, just get a recorded message.

[comaamen86]

i think zavvi have absolutely maxed out their stock allowance it was the only site that had it up for pre-order constantly

i googled for ages could not find a contact number 8(

[winds]

ARGH! Well I just received my copy of the US version of the wizards edition, and it's in great condition so I shouldn't be complaining. However, $30 for shipping, and the UPS guy wanted an extra $46.54 upon delivery!! WTF! Almost paid double for this thing.

For anyone hit with similar charges, call and complain to UPS. I complained a good few minutes about how I was paying basically double for a 99 dollar item. I finally asked if they could wave the "brokerage fee" or at least bring it down a little. The guy said he would check, came back and said they could take $16.54 off of it. Not much but at least a small victory.

[TruenoBoy86]

anyone have the exact weight in kgs for the european wizard box ?

[winds]

anyone have the exact weight in kgs for the european wizard box ?

Not sure about the european wizard box, but the US one is 3.06lbs. They're probably pretty similar, with the wizard edition being a tad heavier from the extras?

[TruenoBoy86]

Not sure about the european wizard box, but the US one is 3.06lbs. They're probably pretty similar, with the wizard edition being a tad heavier from the extras?

i think the extras are weightless when the the book is there, thanks, i will use that as a reference for my shipping charge calculations.

[Redmagster]

Update from my ShopTo order.... Arriving today between 14.11 and 15.11 BST

:woohoo:

[lukey52]

My Shopto one arrived and it was in a jiffy bag inside a box so there was space for it to move about. Needless to say it's arrived damaged, not talking about a little squashing to the corner but 2 fucking holes in the box. Really pissed off as it will cost me well over ?100 to source a new mint one.

Well that's weird mate. i just received mine from shopto packaged exactly as you described. Mine was sat in the box corner to corner so there wasn't much room to move about. I actually thought it was well-packaged.

Now the outer box feels quite flimsy so i was worried but the only blemish i can see are those two tiny holes that you had. I don't think shopto are to blame because it looks like a manufacturing fault. Might be wrong, though.:surrender:

Hi,

This is a concern. I've had my delivered from ShopTo (at work at the moment) so it's sat waiting for me... Here's hoping it's had a little more care than yours as it's a present for my fiance!

Our WiiU was packaged extremely well from ShopTo so I am surprised you've had such an issue :think:

I'll let you guys know when I get home I guess!

[Cosmic_Link]

Still waiting for my order from GAME UK! >.< Needless to say it'll arrived damaged. -_- anyway, for the people who have had their copies already, have you had any indication of the extra DLC that was promised to PAL customers because of the delay? Was we supposed to get it from the store or is it in the box? Maybe that could explain the mysterious holes in boxes that you guys have?

[Digi]

The extra dlc is available on PSN right now. I think there are 2 familiars to download

[vhal_x]

Finally received an email from Zavvi, seems to be a mass email to everyone who preordered.

It apologises for the emails and the payment error stuff, and states that they are going to get all paid for copies sent out today, and that I'll receive a dispatch email as soon as it goes out. Here's hoping they sort it soon! xx

[Cosmic_Link]

Christ a'mighty. Are Zavvi STILL pissing people about vhal ?? I'm just hoping and praying that they don't get any exclusives that i want. I'm not pre-ordering the Metal Gear Revengeance for that very reason . . .and hoping it price-bombs later on.

[Redmagster]

So.... they have arrived :) :) Just uploading some pics now :bananalama:

But no mysterious little holes???

[Monstermug]

I just got an email from Zavvi.

"Your order will be delivered
1 February
Your order from The Hut Group will be delivered 1 February by DPD. Can you please ensure that someone will be available to sign for the parcel at:"

Funny thing was I actually cancelled it ages ago after I saw it available at Game.co.uk.

Bunch of flipping monkeys? Looks like I am going to get a crushed ni no kuni in the post tomorrow lol

Hopefully my order from Game will come intact. They usually package things much nicer.

That Amazon trade in makes me laugh every time I see it!! :lmao:

[The Darth]

Mine turned up today also from Shopto and it has the two dodgy dents on the top of the inner box. It might be something to do with the box being quite flimsy.

Hmmm... Still only seeing the game for pre-order and the demo for download. :( I did download the PSN+ Ni No Kuni theme, but can't see any DLC! >.<

Yaaaaaaaaaay! Mine has been dispatched, will be delivered via DPD tomorrow. However, it's going to my mum's address. And nobody will be home. BOOOO! :( xx

That's weird. It shouldn't make any difference but I found it under the 'new this week' section on games. I know with some DLC in the past when you select the actual game and look what's available for it (DLC, themes, avatars etc) some of the DLC isn't listed so maybe check the new section if you haven't already.

[Venner]

No.....Just got a canceled e-mail from Play.com :(

Anyone got a spare at an ok price?

[TMM]

Hi guys,

It looks like pretty much everyone here owns this game, but here's my unboxing!

I don't appear to have any defects present like the ones you have discussed and the quality of this item is excellent - both in terms of the quality control and the actual contents!

Anyway, click here to check out my unboxing. (http://manmountaindesigns.co.uk/index.php/games/unboxing/129-ni-no-kuni-wrath-of-the-white-witch-wizard-s-edition-unboxing)

From a Dutch webshop, seems like here in the Netherlands the Wizard Edition got extremely limited.

That sucks! This seems to be happening more and more lately, it's about time retailers sorted themselves out

[OniRyo]

Yeah, indeed, you would atleast expect them to know how many products they are going to get though? They are giving Namco Bandai the fault though because they did expect more Wizard Editions but because of some production error(delay?) they are getting it way later, or actually not at all, i'm not that patience for a game like this though!.

Here you go - not sure if you can see them but they are on the front edge of the top of the inner box - two line indents about 4cm long each just near the edge

Here you go - not sure if you can see them but they are on the front edge of the top of the inner box - two line indents about 4cm long each just near the edge

Hi Redmagster,

Thanks for this - I'll have to double check mine when I get home, but think I would have noticed these. I might have one of the rare, non factory damaged sets! :shrug:

Ebay..... :no: :no:

I've looked at ebay,but I was thinking of buying it at the original price and not 3 times the rrp like some ebay(cover your eyes if offended)cunt$.

[vhal_x]

Yeah, I think Mag meant that ebay is your only choice now, as everywhere sold out unfortunately xx

[Redmagster]

I have just had one delivered from Coolshop... I ordered it for a Canadian mate who had his Namco one cancelled and couldn't get one anywhere but then found one on Amazon.de which looks like it's been shipped so this may be free?? Only thing is that it was ?96 gbp to start with...

[Redmagster]

seems like some factory mark

They actually line up with the slits on the underside where the tabs of the box go to hold it all together so def part of the process...

My Ninokuni came from Game today. Delivered by Hermes. Top corner is a bit crushed even though it seems packaged pretty well. I didn't like the way the driver sort of kicked it over to me neither :(

Fingers crossed on the zavvi order. Quite glad they didn't take any notice of my cancellation now.

Oh joy! >.< Would have rather they let Royal Fail loose with it than give it to Herpies. :S

We'll see what state mine is in when I get home! :S Prob been fucked over the back gate like last time! >.<

[vhal_x]

Mine has been delivered to a neighbour by DPD :D YAAAAAY! Will get it either tonight or tomorrow, can't wait :D xx

[Cosmic_Link]

Got my copy! :D The Hermes driver left a phine number on the card, so I call and she lives just up the road from me! ^o^ She said if ever she misses me when she delivers to my house, I am more than welcome to come and collect parcels in the future. :D Btw, my copy never had those Manufacturing defects that others have got! :P

[NoScruffyNo]

Still havent received my Pre order from GAME. I went in store to see if I could grab a copy to play in the meantime only to be told they only ordered in 5 copies for customers who had pre ordered. Mine for some reason was dispatched by Royal Fail without tracking the same day yours was Cosmic.

The online web assistants are useless.

[Cosmic_Link]

Mine was with Hermes. It was packed incredibly well too! :D Was in a box with lots of air bags in there all around the item! :D Thank god it wasn't sent in that sticky bubblewrap shit they have been using for the smaller stuff. :S

HAHA! XD No not the My Hermes driver. She's a old lady! XD Maybe my local Yodel driver. :P Don't think she works for them anymore though... :(

Hi,

I live in the UK and I've never even heard of Hermes... outside of Futurama of course!

Usually I get DPD deliveries (both for my business, but also personal life - Amazon etc) I have the advantage with DPD that they know me now, so if I drop them a text of '1' which tags 'leave with a neighbour' they leave it in a secure cupboard next to my front door! :)

I hate Royal Mails new policy of 'If you're not in, we'll leave with your neighbour' - Prior to this they also used to leave in the cupboard... but now, they just take it back to the depot for me to have to go pick up... Frustrating when you work full time!

I've had quite a few items delivered from the Hermes courier. Don't often get damaged items come from them, so I can't complain! ^o^

Royal Fail are frustrating! >.< They take stuff to the local sorting office, but it is only open from 7am-12:30pm weekdays and they're open on Saturday for a few hours too. I work from 6am-2pm, so any parcels I miss in the week, I have to wait til Saturday to get! >.< So annoying! :(

[Monstermug]

DPD just delivered another copy of Ni No Kuni WE. To my surprise it is in grading condition! I take everything I have every said back from The HUT.

If someone got a spare Wizard Edition to sell for me for a normal price, i would be extremely happy, but i guess i have to pay a huge amount on ebay... :p

I sell you my spare copy for the cost I paid for it and also some extra so I can run to the store to buy a standard edition to play? It does have a Hermes crush mark on one of the corners though.

Top right hand corner in this pic... (yes call me mint nazi whatever :ghey:)

Ah, that mark doesn't matter to me much!, just PM your total amount which you like for it for the product itself, and if you don't know the delivery costs yet i can always pay that later if you want, or right now whichever you prefer!

Thank you!

I figured out this edition is just extremely limited, and Namco Bandai has already stated there will be no second delivery of Wizard Editions, this is all of it we are getting.

So i bought the Ni No Kuni Wizard Edition Namco Bandai edition for a rather expensive amount, this is something i will only do once, but since it's a huge game for me atleast, i just wanted this terribly, stupid Ebayers though!.

Yeah, I'm really gutted I never got my ClubNamco pre-order. :( May I ask how much coin it set you back?

Also, on another note, did anybody order the standard Ed from GAME UK for the Japanese Wizards companion? Anybody who did, did you receive your book and any pics? :D I assume it's the same as the one I got the other day?

330 euro in total with delivery, if i wanted to buy the Wizard Edition in the Netherlands i had to pay 200+ euro for used(and this is without the extras), yes, i paid extremely much for it. :(

Still want the steelbook though, Gamestop liked to cancel my order.

[Cosmic_Link]

Damn, that is alot of monies. :( Gutted mate! >.< Atleast you got one. I'm not prepared to pay that much for it. I'm happy with my PAL CE now. Would rather that one, than none at all. Still feel like I've been cheated though! XD

I ordered the standard edition from Game. I've got 2 parcels waiting at the PO so will get them tomorrow, I think one will be this :D

My CE arrived today as well from DPD, not a mark on it for a change.

It's been a good day :cpatch:

Yeah, but who knows, if this game becomes way bigger(which is expected) this edition might be in the end worth way more, i mean prices are already extremely high and people are willing to pay a lot for it, i don't think i will take it out of the sealand just use it as collectible.

It's a rare one afterall!.

Ah cool. :D You'll have to update us about your Standard Ed then! :D Hope GAME have sent you a book! ^o^

Yeah, I know that, but I don't like selling my stuff, so I mainly wanted it for having it, not because it was rare, just because I liked the contents when I saw them! ^o^ Ah well, I can live without it. lol

[OniRyo]

I would've been the same if i have gotten my European Wizard Edition, i won't sell my stuff either though, i never buy 2 CE's because when i buy CE's it's actually for myself, unless it's Zelda specific i love to keep these CE's of Zelda games sealed and one to be played with!.

[OniRyo]

Now i just ordered mine Ni No Kuni game + steelbook aswell, just so i don't have to get that namco bandai edition out of seal, i also saw there is a Ni No Kuni cape?.

[vhal_x]

My Ni No Kuni is here :D
Mine doesn't have those weird linemarks either :) woo, so happy with it xx

[Ayiu]

Finally my wizard's edition arrived \^.^/ and no odd factory marks :)

This is my second PS3 edition in my collection.

Now I just need a standard copy of the game to play it :scratch: hmm maybe I should have bought one earlier >_>"

[Sylfaris]

My ce finally arrived yesterday D:

Still fighting with myself not to open it ... >_<

[ingmar1988]

the CE is really smaller than i expected and cardboard seems flimsy, mine seems ok though. Leaving it sealed since i have the game with steelbook underway, to bad cant play the game now. aah well.

[Ayiu]

I actually wanted to open my ni no kuni wizard's edition because I'm not into collecting ps3 stuff anyway but I can't do it...It would break my heart :facepalm:

I also received my ni no kuni guide book. Might buy the coin and soundtrack at a later date :)

Im selling both my CE's due to the amount they are fetching. and I'm more of a steelbook collector anyway.

Nice watermark Kat, do you think it's a really nice CE guide book? (albeit not unsealed). Looks as good as teh FFXIII-2 CE book.

Thanks, don't want anybody using my pictures on ebay and take profit from them. It's happening more often than you can image.

Yea I'm quite sure that it's a great guide book. With lots of colour in it. Will also buy another one for using it to achieve my 3rd Platinum Trophy :rotf:

[Matrix6]

Lol, I know the feeling of ebayers using your un-watermarked pics for their profit :D
I should learn how to watermark my (good) pics.

Old England shipped my CE a few days ago, it'll either get here late next week or a week after....hopefully with no strange "marks" (whatever that is you guys were talking about)

I value your opinion highly, I may be inclined to get a copy of the CE guide book then! <3 (same with MGR)

I feel honored :notworthy: On page 36 you can see pictures of what the "marks" look like.

I ordered mine from Amazon uk and they just put some paper on top of the edition...not even around the box. Glad it arrived save and sound and within one day Oo

Wow, usually Amazon pack well (at least for me). I got mine from Zavvi and it has none of those indent mark things, and it was packed superbly, with airbags cushioning each side and in a sturdy outer box. And was delivered within 24 hours of dispatch (so not much time to risk damage) by DPD. :bunny: So happy with it :) xx

Yea, normally they are putting paper rolls around the inner items that they can't move...well not this time, seems amazon has to budget more. Just glad that DHL handled it so carefully :-) It's really a nice edition :bunny:

amazon usually send a book to me in a box big enough to home a hobo

also i had a delivery via amazon yesterday from amazon via yodel, it turned up on time and in perfect condition

times. are. changing. :nosleep:

I have noticed that game.co.uk are slacking with delivery packaging now. Not necessarily their fault or the worst out there but any company using my Hermes are just being tight. I was very surprised to find that my copy from Zavvi, delivered by DPD, came in grade quality.

Hi Redmagster,

Great spot - I've just ordered one - It's of note that it's FREE delivery if you spend ?15 or more, so I also bought the The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia Hardback - It's the fiance's birthday coming up so I can give her the Zelda book as part of that! :)

Thanks again
