Truck Full Of Nintendo Games, Amiibo Stolen

[keven3477]

A ton of Nintendo fans in the UK have been left without the games they pre-ordered after a truck full of copies of Splatoon (and related Splatoon Amiibo) was stolen.
The theft of the truck, lifted on its way from Nintendo’s European warehouse to British chain GAME, means that anyone who pre-ordered Splatoon’s Special Edition from the retailer won’t be getting their copy.
MCV reports that affected customers can either cancel their orders or receive the game’s standard edition, along with a £10 discount.

Now, either the truck was stolen at random—the thieves running the risk of picking up a cargo load of cabbage or coat-hangers—or they knew exactly what they were getting.
I know Splatoon looks cool, and Amiibo are rare/valuable, but come on...

What is the world coming too. I know games are fun and amiibos are rare but there is no need to resort on stealing a truck for them, as if amiibo shortages weren't enough.

A good deal of black ink lost resulting from this heist.

I feel sorry for those that won't be receiving what they pre-ordered. Damn thieves. You just had to steal their happiness too.

A truck full of cabbage or coathangers would be better value. I feel sorry for the guys who jacked that truck, maybe next time they'll actually plan it out and hit something of value instead. A bunch of copies of a shit game, and crappy amiibos for the former. Ouch. Definitely not worth the risk.

Though knowing Nintenyearolds the Amiibo price probably is high enough to buy the thieves some fast food for a little while.

I always find it hilarious how randomly aggressive you are in your posts!

Why are you all so sure that its about the Amiibo or the games?
What if its always been... about the truck?

 

[Bladexdsl]

why the fuck would they want a truck?

well for one, trucks are expensive on their own.
also, considering we're talking about criminals here, they might need it for an actual heist. there's a medium chance they went for the videogame one as a diversion. you know, like in the Die Hard movies.

 

[Bladexdsl]

you've been playing too much GTA V

At least they didn't get the actual ones that matter. Greninja and Jigglypuff.

Is this what I blame for not getting my Ness preorder?

 

[DJPlace]

don't know what to say... but sucks for the UK.

Thieves will always nick something.
I dunno, is it worse then that lorry that got nicked with Black ops 2 copies or better?
