Nintendo Australia and EB Games sending Skull Kid figures to top ‘Zelda fans in EB World’

Ordered Majora's Mask from EB Games? Check your email!

Nintendo Australia and EB Games are currently sending out emails to ‘top Zelda EB World’ members with the offer of a free Skull Kid figure.

This figure is the same one the Americans were able to get in their limited edition and isn’t available anywhere else in Australia. If you were picked you should get an email that looks somewhat like the one below, one of our readers Daniel got it just moments ago.

It looks like if you ordered the game (and/or the Limited Edition console) and are ‘a top Zelda fan’ then you might be able to snag one of these, let us know in the comment if you were emailed one as well and what you bought!

You’ll have until February 27th to get it if you were chosen or it’ll go to someone else.

    I got one as well, so excited!! Wonder what the requirements were?

    Matt, did you buy anything Zelda related recently?

    Yeah, I pre-ordered the console and LE game

    Got nothing so far. I’m guessing it’s because I only ordered the MM3D limited edition and nothing else. As for what proves I’m a Zelda fan…I did preorder ALBW 3DS XL…but I skipped Wind Waker HD & OOT3D preorders. I’m guessing my chances are only average at best then.

    I’m level 2 and getting the statue (after tomorrow I’ll most likely be level 3 though). I pre-ordered the limited edition 3DS XL, the special edition of the game and the collector’s edition strategy guide. Other than that, I don’t think I’ve ever pre-ordered (or even bought) anything else Zelda-related from EB, aside from socks and a hat and a few Amiibo etc.

    I bet these’ll be up on eBay by this time next week.

    This smacks of retailer-exclusive pre-release perks like you see in America. There was no stink about this because they didn’t tell anybody they were going to pull such shenanigans.

    Hmm…nothing for me…. See what happens overnight….

    I’m miffed considering I’ve preordered two of the consoles (one for myslef, one for my GF on valentine’s day) and numerous zelda games previously. I really wanted the figure considering MM is one of my faves, so I guess I’ll just have to conform to ebay prices.

    I’m a bit disappointed, I ordered from JB because I don’t like giving EB money.

    Nothin’ here. I’ve pre-ordered the game, new 3ds XL and special edition of the game guide from EB! Quite dissapointed as I’ve pre-ordered heaps from them in the past as well, entire set of Amiibos, previous Zelda ALBW 3ds xl console, world of nintendo figurines, etc. Oh well, I will just have to admire my F4F Skull Kid statue instead.

    Level 3 but very close to Level 4 here. I’ve preordered the MM3D LE as well as the themed New 3DS XL, and in the past preordered ALBW, WWHD and OOT3D. I got one of these emails!! So pumped!

    Level 4 (and top in the top 10 ranking pretty much at the two stores I alternate buying from..)
    Collectors Hintbook Pre-ordered
    Standard Edition ordered online (yay for ordering standard and never being told in store that they have the collectors available for pre-order there only, now basically spent close to $150 importing the UK collectors edition version of the game, but that doesn’t count).
    MM N3DS XL pre-ordered in 1st batch
    ALBW 3DS XL pre-ordered/purchased
    Zelda Monopoly pre-ordered/purchased
    OoT Mugs pre-ordered/purchased
    OoT 3DS pre-ordered/purchased.

    Nothing. Zilch. Nada.

  • February 13, 2015 at 10:27 pm

    I got one of these too so I am stocked.

    I herd from people who rang Nintendo that it also factored in other Nintendo products you had o preorder purchased in the past not just this one preorder.

    I didn’t get an email, and went into my local EB this morning to pick up Majora’s Mask COllector’s Edition and the the Majora’s Mask edition of the new 3DS. The gal behind the counter was all excited because apparently I got one of the statues, as did she. SO yeah… no email, but I got the statue.

    Nothing in my inbox, Im not a big eb customer but my digital library on WiiU and 3DS is big enough for me to think I should have got something from Nintendo…….

    It’s great to see Nintendo working so closely with the most anti-competitive retailer around. I wish I was enough of a Zelda fan to shop at EB games *chortle*

    A nice little bonus item, but frankly pretty lame to label it as being a reward for the ‘top Zelda fans’ when in reality it’s for the people that had enough to have the cash to buy the LE console and the game. Shame I couldn’t do that this time as I now have a mortgage to pay off and little to no consideration looks to have been made for a long string of Zelda games and other bits and pieces from EBs over the years.

    Not that I’m bitter or anything 😛

    I was told by my local EB that those who bought both the SE game and the console in the same pre-order were put in the draw and the rest was pot luck.

    I got the email. I’m currently level 3 and ordered the special edition and XL console. But I reckon it’s pot luck, my mate rung up and said it was given to the first 50 people who ordered the special edition. Hopefully they’ll be more figurines coming.

    I never got the email but upon collecting my pre order of majora’s mask and the mm special edition 3ds I was told that I was the lucky one in my store. I picked mine up today
