Mario Kart 8 - Collectors Editon

[Dat Matt]

I keep spamming up this forum with collector edition posts for game series I like. Here's another.

Limited Editon is only announced for in the UK so far from what I know, and comes with a Blue Shell figure which can be bought from amazon for £59.99 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mario-Limited-Edition-Figurine-Nintendo/dp/B00E4LGGIQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394113883&sr=8-1&keywords=mario+kart+8+limited). Alternatively for the same price you can get the bundle directly from Nintendo's Store (http://store.nintendo.co.uk/offers/mario-kart-8-bundles.list?sortOrder=salesRank&sortReverse=true) for the same price, but this comes with a Bullet Bill T-shirt and a Red Shell Keyring.

I just Pre-ordered mine. Anyone else interested?

Where exactly are you planning on putting this extra tat. :colbert:

[Slothy]

Perhaps he can build a shelf supported by the figurines he got from the Tales collector's edition?

We'll MAKE room.

Lets not make room, that'll just encourage me to buy more stuff.

I'm just waiting for a new bundle to get a WiiU. I'm hoping eventually they'll bundle this with it.

I doubt they'll bundle the speical edition with the Wii U, but Mario Kart will probably get a bundle. To me, Mario kart is a system seller. If I didn't have a Wii U already I would have bought one for Mario Kart 8. Shame it took 18 months to launch a "That Game".

As for bundles, is something like this (http://store.nintendo.co.uk/wii-u-hardware/mario-mega-bundle/10874508.html) not your cup of tea. Minus the Super Mario 3D World, Mario Hat and Wii Mote I got this bundle for £200 at Christmas. Pretty cheap considering the base price of the other two consoles (PS4 - £350 / XB1 - £390).

If it was available for North America and if I had a Wii U I would.

I absolutely would, but I have yet to see that bundle come out in Australia. We always get shafted like that. :( However, since it's a PAL console I could see how much it'd cost to import it...

This (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NINTENDO-WII-U-32gb-PREMIUM-BUNDLE-w-NEW-SUPER-MARIO-BROS-U-NEW-SUPER-LUIGI-U-/171250743700?pt=UK_VideoGames_VideoGameConsoles_VideoGameConsoles&hash=item27df56f994) was the bundle I got when it was £200. Doing some quick exchange rate conversions this currently works out at $461.23 AUD (Priced at £250). Not sure how much an import tax/customs charge would be, but as a guess it'd be about $600 AUD. Not aware how expensive or cheap that may be, but I have heard that you pay around $90 AUD for new releases.
