Didn't Get my figurine...
I was so excited to get my Pre-Order of Soulsilver today, and when i get there, there is no more figurines...
I'm happy i got Soulsilver, but its kinda a disappointment that i didn't get the figurine... |
Same thing happened to me when Platinum came out. :/
|
That, doesn't make any sense.
|
I didn't get mine either. >:( Made me really angry and uber sad.
|
Aww, boohoo, here in the UK we have never gotten the pre-order figures for Pokémon games that the US gets.

Dude, I think your missing the point. There right to be pissed off...They pre-ordered a game with the incentive to get the promotional figurine. That was part of the deal for pre-ordering and commiting to buying the game. They followed up on their side of the deal - but GAME, Gamestop (wherever they bought it) didn't. I'd be pissed off too man...dont be such a scrooge Blue |

If you pre order it in a store, its only while supplies last. Which kinda depends on how many poke fans are around you. I got an arceus figure the other day from my gamestop, it had been sitting around for months :p. Im not sure how online works but im sure its about the same, only while the have them in stock. So if you were pretty far down on the list, i doubt you'd get one. Also it doesnt hurt to ask, sometimes people are just lazy. When i pre ordered Fear 2, it was suppose to come with this little booklet. He didnt hand me one, so i asked, sure enough they had some. |
I got my SS one...
and it seems SS is popular oppposed to HG. now hopefully I'll get my HG one tomarrow! |
Oi, that sucks. I haven't picked up my HG yet...I hope I get my figurine. D:

Back to the topic: If the figurine was part of the deal, isn't their responsibility to get a hold of one for you despite the shortage? |
I didn't get mine at first. But I went back up there later and asked it about and they gave it to me. They had just forgotten to hand them out when I had went there earlier.

I didn't even know you got one for pre-ordering. But I got one. Maybe it was just at Gamestops?

I was happy that I got my Ho-oh figurine, although I love Lugia much more :< |

I pre-ordered the game off Amazon, and was too late to buy the ones that came with a figurine. A bit disappointed, but it's not that big of a deal. If you really want one, Ebay has some for sell. There going for just as much as the game though. :laugh:
|
LOL maybe I shouldn't have opened mine and just sold it.
I have a nice pokemon figurine collection though so I needed it. :p |
It's not really that great, its only about 3 inches tall.
|
Funny thing is I saw those figurines a bit later for dirt cheap at Toys 'R' Us a few months after release.
|
That's why i always go early. Gamestop just never seems to have enough figures for the pre-orders.
|
Lol this is why I never go to gamestop to buy games on release day. >.>
I bought mine at the target from my work and got a figurine anyway. No pre-order needed. |
I never see the point of the figures anyway..I never pre order I just go into a shop and pick up the game
|
When I used to work at Target the extra figurines would just be given to employees that wanted them lol.
|
That seems unprofessional. :x What was the deal like in stores? Did it have 'for preorders only' or 'while stocks last'? Where I work, if X number of customers preorder a game with a preorder bonus, we'll get X or more stock in of the bonus, and if it comes out before or after the game release we'd specifically call them and set it aside for them. If it was a 'preorder now while stocks last' kind of deal, you'd expect them to do a first come, first serve thing and stick the figures aside with the earliest preorders.
Maybe a store near you will sell them. Fingers crossed. Maybe someday Australia will... |
