Great Zelda updates snoop & Cosmic! You both look like you got your MM3D LE's in pretty good shape and without that fairly common rip going from the edge of the window to the edge of the box. snoop your ALBW CE is in remarkably nice shape, consider yourself very lucky!

Cosmic, definitely the black N3DS to go with the MM cover plates! Also, I wasn't sure if I was gonna import the cover plates or not, then the Japanese imports sold out. But they came up for sale briefly on Amazon.de and some German friends put in an order for me. 29,98€ for the pair.

Tbh my ALBW LE isn't in mint condition, there is small damage on the box but it's not obvious. Ordering from Game.co.uk always have the chance that the item will be damaged...

Ah, well I'm not surprised, don't think I've seen a mint one yet. But it sure looks great from the front! GAME may be hit or miss in general, but that CE in particular was a disaster of a release...

Half of my orders from GAME are damaged... They just can't ship it with worse packing...

I have a mint one!

Tbh though, it was a daft CE anyway. >.< Why include a poster with it that is so massive...?

Makes no sense to me.

Damn! >.< I can't believe I missed those faceplates.

A member made me aware of a tweet on a Euro Nintendo Twitter account, but I didn't think to check Amazon.de. >.< So annoying. Fingers crossed I will get another chance from somewhere else...

Hmm, I didn't notice a rip on the picture you posted of it, unless you mean the bottom right corner? Just for comparison here's a photo of one of the copies I got that came with a nasty rip...

Totally would have sent you the link to the cover plates sooner, but by the time I was even aware of it, they were already sold out. lol

Best of luck. I'm not sure if any other European branches of Amazon got it or if it was just .de, but I didn't see it up anywhere else.

Spoiler!

With regards to my GB, if I remember rightly, all of the CEs I had were mint. The majority of them came flat packed from GAME and I assembled them before sending them to people. They weren't very well presented. I think that was my main reason for being unimpressed with that CE. >.< There was also a massive faff around with me not getting sent enough posters for my orders and then one of my local stores got sent the Posters, but not the CE box or contents. It was one of the more painful Group Buys I have had to do.

Yeah, the Triforce cover plates were on Amazon.jp for a very short time before they sold out. Got a feeling I'm gonna end up missing out on that one.

If anybody does see them come up on any sites for pre-order, if you could order 2 for me, that would be greatly appreciated!

Ah, I see it in the original pic now. Doesn't look terrible but I know it's still frustrating as hell. I ordered 5 of these and only one arrived without damage.

Wow, with all mint boxes you won the lottery on that GB, even with a shortage of posters. I so should have got mine from you...

Did you see Thetof's offer?
