Zelda Tin Switches Tracks to GAME

Hopefully your figures will be a bit more... 3D.

Limited preorder bonus still available

You may remember a few weeks ago we reported that Gamestation was stocking a limited edition figurine and tin set for Zelda: Spirit Tracks, but that they quickly sold out. Well, it seems they sold out because all the rest of the stock went to their parent company GAME.

Yes, the pink-hued retailer are offering the figurines of Link and the Phantom as well as the tin to anyone who preorders Spirit Tracks before its anticipated release date in just one month's time. This offer is available online as well as in-store, but you'll have to be quick - judging from the heavyweight TV advertising behind it the goodies may disappear even more quickly than the Gamestation ones did.

Sadly it still looks like this is a UK-only preorder incentive, but you'll undoubtedly be able to grab them from eBay in time for Christmas.

Does GAME ship to China I wonder. They're so beautiful, and it doesn't really make any difference if I order the American one or the UK one from here.

Edit: No they do not, Jerky McJerkfaces. Guess I'm buying from playasia or from a US retailer. It's so much cheaper that way too.

I bought those exact figurines, along with two Goron's, Linebeck and Zelda, as well as a TriForce piece, a green Rupee, a Heart Container and an Hourglass about a year ago from eBay for less than a tenner.

I'd like to point out here game.co.uk will ship the game to most places in the world so you don't need to bother with another middleman.

As for the figurines. They're not quite the same as the previous set. Link has a different shield design and the phantom is also slightly different.

I would've preordered if it was available in the US but that's cool. I guess Nintendo doesn't want my money.

Gamestation died when Game bought it over. It used to be awesome before that with all the random merchandise, retro stock and dirt cheap 4 for £20 offers.

I'm with Egg miester on this one: if it ends up being a lot like Phantom Hourglass, I'll pass on this.
