So just went to two gamestops near me (would've hit up a third but no point , see below)

Went to the first gamestop and the employee was unwilling to give the steelbooks out now as standard gamestop policy has always been.

So no go on the first gamestop but I know they had some in, so I thought maybe I try the same gamestop as yesterday, right?

Well instead of the awesome employee who game me the steel yesterday. I got the manager of that particular store and while he MOST certainly wouldn't have give me the steel on his life. He did manage to update on the status of the ni no kuni steelbook in my region. Yes my REGION

He said that the steelbooks in his store were gone completely, that he is actually missing one or two for people who had reserved it and is looking for more. He said that all stores in a 20 mile radius at least are completely out of freely available steels and that most are missing some to meet their preorders.

He said that his store had 8 pre-orders for Ni No Kuni in total. So he probably got 4 -5 steels at most.

He also said that in the last 24 hours an email went out to all stores in my region at least saying the supply is gone completely from the warehouse / source and that most stores are having problems filling their preorders so please help each other out etc.

Basically this is going to be a hard steelbook to get.
If it is maybe 4 preorder steelbooks per store and 1000 stores, I would say this is around a 4000 steelbook run (could be a little more of course)

I may not even get my steelbook when I pick up the game.

So I most certainly cannot get any for people's. I may be able to get one for cosmic but that would be it. And even then I don't know......

So lucky I got one yesterday

Also the third gamestop I referred to is my local gamestop and I really don't want to do anything too sketchy as they know me but it really wouldn't matter anyways as the manager for my local gamestop is far more OCD about pre-order bonuses than others so employees will almost never give it out before the game and in this particualr case there is no chance of getting a steelie early from that gamestop

Just got back from GameStop and they will give out the steelbooks to those who preordered the game before January 15 on release day. It shows on there system when you preorder the game. The guy showed me the steelbook which they keep on the drawers behind them. I forgot my ipod on the car so I could take a picture of it but he said he's not suppose to be even showing it lol, but turns out he's a huge steelbook collector also. Its by far the best looking steelbook I've ever seen.

I must say it is quite nice to have a beatufiul G2 steelbook before the european members

Kind of curious if Lemur has one

The idea that I have a G2 steelie that Lemur doesn't blows my mind

Of course if he doesn't haven't yet, I'm sure it's in the mail to him lol

I cannot get anymore but there are more to be had

There will certainly be a good number on ebay otherwise maybe contact bob about trying to get some at his local gamestop as he said he MIGHT be able to get more than one

Not sure if he'd be up for it but you could ask him

Again I have 1 and may get another 1 but that one's already reserved for cosmic
