Truck Full Of Nintendo Games, Amiibo Stolen

[WiiCube_2013]

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

If this affected other retailers then it wasn't just UK customers but also Europeans and Americans. I don't think so since all my Nintendo Store, Zavvi, GameStop and Amazon orders were dispatched so probably just GAME.

P.S.: Holy shit GameStop UK, that kind of packaging sure is anti-damage but really unsanitary at the same time.

That's actually Canadians.

Wasn't there another incident like this with Wii systems or something of the sort? Or even 3DS systems? It seemed somewhat recent.

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.

Trucks have enough technology into them to guarantee at least a GPS tracking device.

Also, please OP use a Donotlink url next time. I accidentally clicked on it and gave Kotaku ad revenue/higher spots in the search engine.

Yep that's what I was thinking of. I also thought it happened with 3DS systems too but I could be wrong.

come on, we're talking about pros here. considering they went through the trouble of staging a fake truck robbery, they're certainly skilled enough to disable the tracking devices. that's just common sense.
