Huge demand for North American Majora’s Mask limited editions with retailers sold out

Yesterday we posted exciting news that North America will be getting a special edition of Majora’s Mask 3D that includes a collectible Skull Kid figurine. A couple of versions were made available — the limited edition bundle, which includes the game and Skull Kid figurine for $49.99, and an ultimate limited edition, which includes the official Prima strategy guide as well for $84.98. Within hours of these bundles being online for pre-order, they were all sold out, snapped up by eager fans as well as scalpers. After initially selling out, GameStop released some additional stock but this sold out almost instantly as well.

Many copies appear to have been purchased by scalpers, as there are now several listings on eBay for the bundles starting from upwards of $100 USD. At this stage, there is no announcement as to whether or not any more bundles will be made available, but with demand this high we certainly hope there will be. It’s also unknown if this limited edition will be released in other regions. The UK will be getting a special edition of Majora’s Mask 3D that includes a steelbook game case, a double-sided poster, and special Majora’s Mask pin badge along with the game.

Nintendo announced that this current bundle will only be available at GameStop, Amazon, and Fry’s. GameStop is not taking in-store pre-orders, but is instead opting to do “web store” purchases. Consumers go into the store, pay for the full cost of the bundle up front, and have it shipped to their homes rather than putting the usual $5 down and picking it up in-store.

It is unknown how long this option will be available, so pre-order while you still can!
