lol Yeah, it's one of those things you can only really justify doing once! lol

I musy have just missed any that are there! lol

I shouldn't be looking at ebay anyway because I'm just killing myself doing it. I can't afford to buy anything, but I do love just looking at some of the stuff people have!! lolThat VIP pack is noce. I would've bought that if I had the cash! lol Shame people sell stuff like that though, unless they have more than one! lol

I've learnt now, somehow I don't know exactly how, to look at ebay and see things I want and then I just put them on a list of things I want and one day I will buy them lol

The VIP tickets were £100 and thats what you got with it, I was pretty pleased really as I already had the ocarina and keyring, we still got a programme and my boyfriend subscribes to edge so I'd already read that. The only thing I'd missed out on was the SS lanyard, the bit of plastic that says VIP and meeting the guys - which I'm not really too fussed about as I wouldn't know what to say! lol

lol Yeah, I do the same!! XD I filled up my watched list today and had to start deleting some of the old crap off there... lol

You can still find the lanyards around. I got 2 of them off ebay in the summer. I think they were also given away at PAX...? o.0 They weren't sealed, but couldn't complain for £5 each.

Just found somebody selling a Wolf Link and Midna statue with starting bid off £400. Feel sorry for the person who's bid on it because F4F still have them in stock for about £250incl p&p.

Obviously I can't make it to any of the US events but that's what ebay is for lol I should probably have a look at buying one now that I have a little spare cash. Looks like there's a couple on US ebay still sealed from E3

Ooh gutted! If I had that much to blow on some merchandise I'd rather a sealed game over a statue but they are bloody lovely aren't they lol

Yeah they are. I love them! ^o^ I'd rather the figure over a sealed game, personally... Still waiting for my replacement Midna. Mine got damaged in Transit...

The front of her headpiece has come off?? That's terrible. Are they normally packed in a lot of polystyrene with the shape cut in the middle? If they are it'd have to be a pretty big whack or drop to break that off

Only damage I've seen to a statue is the club nintendo TP one and Links arm. hand was broken off!

Yeah, they're packed really well and there was no sign of impact damage to the box or shipping container, so I think it was prob broken during packaging when they were putting the 2 polystyrene blocks together... ' Apparently quite a few peoples figures got damaged. I just hope they don't ask me to destroy the old piece before they send me a new one, because I couldn't do it... Somebody on another forum had to destroy a Dark Link Statue.

That's the problem with statues. unless they are packaged properly, they will break. I had 2 TP ones break before I got a good one. One of them the sword broke, then the other the arm broke. Thankfully I got replacements from Nintendo, but it was really annoying... >.<

Found an OoT Preorder set...

Omg that's terrible, are the ones you have of a limited number? That'll be why they do it isn't it so that there is still that limited number.

Still good that they send replacements out to you though

Haha nice, if I didn't already have most of them I'd probably try and buy a full set

Yeah, they are all limited and numbered. I know why they want them destroyed, but it'd still be hard for me to do!! XD How could anyone destroy something so beautiful!? >.< If they ask for midna to be destroyed, i'll refuse and tell them it's compensation for the inconvenience caused and for extending the edition number! lol

I'm gonna skip on buying a full set. Will gradually get em one by one. I'll be happy with just the seeds tbh!! XD

What would happen if you just said you had done it, would they ask for proof?

I know I really want the seeds too lol would you grow them or keep them sealed?
