Default Super Mario Holidays Steelbook G4

If you buy a switch console or qualifying amount of switch games from the participating stores in Hong Kong you receive this steelbook as a gift.

i desperately want this!!! as a Switch Nintendo steelbook collector, i just wish it wasn't tied into a console purchase...my understanding is that in Hong Kong in order to qualify for this steelbook you MUST purchase BOTH a First Party Nintendo game AND any Switch console..if you are just shopping for ONLY software, then with a purchase of First Party software you will NOT receive this steelbook, but a nice little tote bag with this same artwork that's on this steelbook..also this steelbook is being advertised as "limited edition" and on a "first come first serve bases" so there's no guarantee you will even get one, if the store allocation runs out...i actually predict this steelbook to go in the $200 range if it ends up on Ebay because a Console Purchase is TIED to this steelbook as a prerequisite to get the steelbook in Hong Kong.

The steelbook is available here for 20$

The site is trustworthy. I have ordered from them before but please be aware that they have the worst packaging and care for items I have ever seen in my life. I ordered about 20 items from them before and at this point I am convienced there is a dog at their warehouse chewing on the items.

So order at your own risk

I actually ordered from them this steelbook and i received a peculiar message, but maybe i misunderstood?..but AFTER i placed my order for this steelbook, and checked out and "paid"... it stated that the shipping time approximate range would be from December through April 2022 at the latest, and if they cannot fulfill my order, then they would refund my money....but then i was issued a tracking number..but i am not sure!!??, if it's just a "place holder" or an actual physical shipment is occuring..it could be that first they will fulfill orders in there local market or for those who do the promotional purchases, and afterwards if they have any spares left over!!??..they would then start fulfilling those orders..because if you think about it, they need to honor the agreement with Nintendo if they want to be a distributor so how can they tell a customer? who buys a switch and a game? "sorry steelbook promo is no longer available, because we sold off our "not for sale" inventory etc"..it would anger Nintendo Hong Kong and it would go against the spirit of the promotion since it's supposed to be "free" if you qualify...just my 2 cents!

Unfortunately they're also well known to cancel orders and having listings up for years despite being out of stock. However since this is a new listing hopefully there's a less risk of that happening.

also i'm very curious to see the inside? of this steelbook?..like how many game cards can it hold? and if there's any special artwork inside? etc. Plus the "real life" photo online shows it to be more of a unvarnished matte finish, rather than the glossier shinier official press release photos..which is a shame, because steelbook will offer the glossy coating at an extra cost..but since this one is a "freebie" give away, it looks like the glossy finish got skipped over in lieu of the basic matte finish.

Thanks, ordered mine from the website on 30th, and got it today!

It came in good condition, I did pay extra for carton packaging and bubble wrap, as well as FedEx shipping.?
