After bothering GAME HQ about my two copies of Splatoon, one with the Inkling Squid amiibo and one with the three Inkling amiibo at least three times within the duration of one day, I finally got the answers that I have been seeking...

"[2:30pm] Kylo L says:
Both orders are showing as fine Jason, I've contacted our warehouse team, these are going out tomorrow morning to arrive with you on release day. They will be shipped tomorrow."

"[2:34pm] Kylo L says:
I believe some are shipping today, some are shipping tomorrow, usually we do aim to get them out 1-2 days before release to arrive on the actual release day via Royal Mail, so these should still get to you on that day Jason. There have, unfortunately, been some issues with stock with a few orders, so please do keep an eye on your emails in the next 24 hours or so where we will be in touch if there's any further issues, but as far as I can see, that shouldn't be the case."

I hope that they don't too. Which edition did you preorder?

Standard one with the shirt and girl Amiibo.

I'm assuming they've already charged me for it anyway judging from my balance, so I should be fine.


[edit] and Game has dispatched my boy Amiibo. Considering I've spent about ?30 on those two amiibo and the three pack was ?35, I probably should have just gotten the squid pack in retrospect xD

So the hub (Inkopolis) is so slow lol. I don't really understand the problem with it but aside from you being slow walking anyway it has bad lag. But that's the only problem I have so far - game is great :D

Is it literally just the truck with the special editions in them that has been stolen?



Heist of the century.



There's some criminal mastermind sat right now in a bathtub full of squid amiibo.

LOL WHAT

That is incredibly unlucky but holy crap, whoever stole that truck likely just made a fortune with all of those copies of Splatoon and the Amiibos(probably the ones coming out friday too)


edit: Just found a thread on gaf talking about it.

Yeah it's only the special edition bundle - I got the email too, I laughed at it first because it's just so outragous.
 
On an unrelated note, I have a few hundred Splatoon Special Editions for sale if anybody is interested.




And a lorry.
