I am seeing a date of March 18th, but it all seems too good to be true.

One can only wish. I don't see how they could be so bone headed about it.

I heard they were restocking in early May but I'm not sure.

Ok, so they are in stock as promised today, but at £24 Free Delivery, do I pay £6 more for it, or gamble on the Nintendo shop being restocked in the next day or 2 for £17.99 ?

What do you think ?

Edit: Ordered. Meh, I couldn't hold out any longer, whats £6 between friends, this is the cheapest I have seen an official adaptor in ages and I just couldn't wait for the official shop to restock.

Well, I was a little skeptical about what I may get through the post, It crossed my mind that some 3rd party adaptor would be sent instead of an original.

But, I was wrong, this morning, fresh from Denmark arrived my official Nintendo Wii-U Gamecube adaptor. I have to say that the packaging was not great, a cheap Jiffy type envelope meant that the corners of the box are very slightly creased.

You can tell your friends, it's the real deal for a much cheaper price than the last 3 months.

Then again, these ARE the folks selling amiibo lines. A screw must be loose somewhere to think that their current business practices on that is sane.
