There's a resellers list on Sky's website. Not sure which one's are "reliable" though - I guess that's a matter of word-of-mouth more than anything else.
I was talking to a reseller in NA and he said sky was going to start shipping stock on the 10th so it would be a couple weeks after that. The 20th would be best case scenario but I don't see it happening with the Christmas rush.
CARD type has no relevance, both work fine. As for importing saves, copy/paste should work, but I have to test it.
To everyone sad that they got a Blue Button... eBay. Look at eBay. The ignorant masses are buying the blue button for more than the cost of the orange button. That's what I did. Took some quick phone pics, put it up and it sold in under an hour. I even threw in an 8 GB card since I pre-ordered the orange and got a free one.
Sidenote: Hypothetically, since the SKY is now firmware upgradable, could it HYPOTHETICALLY play eShop games? I know that it works by emulating physical carts, but it was only stuck this way because it was built, sold and done. Could someone add something to SKY to make this work?

The United States doesn't have sellers?
What I'm saying is that, until a month ago, I didn't even KNOW there was a new AP check, so I felt screwed in that regard. I didn't know there was a new cart. But once I started following these threads again, I found out.
I assume most people don't know there's a new one.

Is that a delay? All the sites I went to mentioned pre-order by December 14th. I heard a few sites "had it already" but none of them actually seemed to.
Blargh.
Q:Is any Sky3ds reseller getting Sky3ds+ card in stock now?
A: No, the newest cards are still in production. All sky3ds resellers can't get it in stock before 20th, December. So if one site show you in stock, don't be cheated by them.

Three card revisions already for Sky, that's very bad for business.
Each card revision tarnishes brand recognition, effects the cost of new manufacturing infrastructure as well as distributor relations who are stuck with a bucket load of old outdated useless stock.
The folks at Sky are pretty smart engineers but horrible business people.
With flashcards you want one unified manufacturing line that decreases in manufacturing cost year after year increasing your profit margin each year, with one SKU and solid distributor relations your business is golden.
Multiple product SKUs increases production cost, and alienates bulk order distributors who are afraid to keep too much inventory.
In this sense GW has it right. The Sky folks need to hire an cheap newly grad MBA to get their business in order. They got the best reverse engineers in the business, but no business sense at all.

Its not cheating people its just bad business to remanufacturer new SKU every year or so.
The cost of setting up a new manufacturing line is costly, so your profit margins are low, and you lose bulk order distributor with each product revision, cause distributor lose money on your old stock.
What you ideally want in this type of a business is one SKU with one manufacturer, and one chain of loyal distributors who keep coming back for more orders year after year.
Each year your COGs (Cost of Goods Sold) should decrease due to the lower cost of manufacturing and your profit margin should increase.
Its business 101.

Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version? -
@
Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
