Interesting read, especially as in 2010’s I worked at Nintendo UK Customer Support so interesting seeing some things that changed and others that did not!
I have messaged kickstarter, Yetee and Platinum about this as feel it should have been made clearer beforehand and not hidden away in FAQs.
Its fine if people were expecting these charges and it was made clear on the kickstarter page but on this occasion this was not the case and this is why people are unhappy.
Looks like UK Lego store has stopped pre-orders too, did not see any mention of free gifts when I looked yesterday, wish I had pre-ordered now although am in two minds about getting it
I tried to get the classic edition but lost out at checkout. I think once you have it in your cart it should be guaranteed for a limited amount of time. Just hope they may put more on if not all the Kickstarter people claim theirs etc. Or maybe Playtonic make it available in the UK for sale like they did during kickstarter (but not for Switch as that was a late addition after kickstarter finished I think)
@setezerocinco ah how much you pay in pounds do you know? was looking at ebay myself but all are asking for crazy money, then prob get hit by customs too
loved it, looks brill and got me even more excited to play the game. Also heads up for anyone that bought first print edition the steelbook can hold discs of star fox zero and star fox guard (has space for both)
it appears on GAME it was limited to one per customer but do not think this was the restriction on Nintendo.co.uk. This may mean GAME will have a restock as they cancel orders of people who ordered more than one. This does seem to be a popular pre-order though as GAME still have copies of the Star Fox Zero first print edition which is sold out on Nintendo.co.uk
