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...

Kirbychu March 14th, 2010 4:44 PM

Same thing happened to me when Platinum came out. :/

coolcatkim22 March 14th, 2010 4:59 PM

That, doesn't make any sense.

Jessie March 14th, 2010 6:18 PM

I didn't get mine either. >:( Made me really angry and uber sad.

spike6958 March 14th, 2010 6:32 PM

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

Uhh depends on where you pre order it.
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.

BakingBluePotatoe March 14th, 2010 6:46 PM

I got my SS one...

and it seems SS is popular oppposed to HG.

now hopefully I'll get my HG one tomarrow!

Princess Pichu March 14th, 2010 6:54 PM

Oi, that sucks. I haven't picked up my HG yet...I hope I get my figurine. D:

Why the hostility? Leave a perfectly valid discussion thread alone.

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?

Munch Dog March 14th, 2010 8:01 PM

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.

.Gamer March 14th, 2010 8:33 PM

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

After all, the internet is SEERIOUZ BUSINEZZ. :D

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

No i think it was at all stores you pre-ordered from, but yeah i did pre-order from gamestop. Do you think its possible to go to another gamestop and ask for one?

thedestinedblade March 14th, 2010 8:49 PM

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:

pokejungle March 14th, 2010 8:52 PM

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

TundraCanine March 15th, 2010 12:39 AM

It's not really that great, its only about 3 inches tall.

Gymnotide March 15th, 2010 2:39 AM

Funny thing is I saw those figurines a bit later for dirt cheap at Toys 'R' Us a few months after release.

Okami Chi March 15th, 2010 3:42 AM

That's why i always go early. Gamestop just never seems to have enough figures for the pre-orders.

Kimicatdemon March 15th, 2010 4:14 AM

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.

Kikaito plush March 15th, 2010 4:57 AM

I never see the point of the figures anyway..I never pre order I just go into a shop and pick up the game

pokejungle March 15th, 2010 8:36 AM

When I used to work at Target the extra figurines would just be given to employees that wanted them lol.

Panique March 15th, 2010 8:45 AM

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...

...actually, we also get the figurines with the pre order. Just get it from HMV, Game or Gamestation.

This is in the wrong place, I'll move it to HG/SS for you.
