I just don't order anything fragile or expensive from Amazon. Last things I bought there were a tub of plastic dinosaurs, some labels, a manga, a detached finger, and switch game.

My CE was also sent in a bubble mailer, but just a little minor corner damage to the outer sleeve.

Lucky for you, aside from the slightly damaged corners, which I can usually overlook, there was a small tear starting in the heavy duty outer box itself, the box the cards came in had a tab completely ripped off, and was smashed in hard enough of a way that the little bag containing dice had left indents on several of the cards. It was also smashed hard enough that the grooves of the Switch case were cutting into the games' coverart.
I also thought it was strange that the game itself was not shrink wrapped in both copies that were sent to me. Were they opened just to slap the code insert into the case?

Don't worry it was a cheap one. Just needed it to hit the free shipping threshold because prime is for suckers.

My game also wasn't shrink wrapped, and I saw others mention it on reddit. So I guess that applies to all the CEs. I don't see any issue with it since the CE itself was sealed. So collectors can still leave it unopened. I've also heard about that happening to others regarding the card game.

Bill even got a little $ for it.
Beauty & Grooming Fingers for Acrylic Nails, Soft Nail Training Model Practice Finger, Flexible Nail Mannequin Finger for DIY Nails PracticeNo. 3" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B092PRJ65T/gtz-20" rel="external" target="_blank">Silicone Practice Fingers for ... $ 6.99 $ 0.21 [ 1] March 10, 2024
I didn't get it to practice Nails, I got it because it's just realistic enough to be convincing at a glance.
Right now it is at work in a cup of dry erase markers.
Hopefully the cleaning lady doesn't clean those

As the lowly peasant in this relationship, I will take the small victory.....even though Amazon isn't even aware of the battle we waged.

I have over 30 hours into Unicorn Overlord so far. (Including the 8 hours I put in the demo.) I won a level 25 battle yesterday with most of my units level 20 or less, and that let me go to the northern snowy area. I've mostly finished Cornia and Drakenhold, and have done some battles in the elf land as well. I recently started messing with the gambit system for the first time and it's fun setting it up to get units to do what you want. For instance, one of the elves has an attack that can summon a fairy, which can affect another skill she uses. So I set up so that she always does the former first, which summons the fairy as long as her health is full. Probably going to be one of my favorite strategy games, based on how much I've been enjoying it.
I'm also considering getting Kingdom Come Deliverance tomorrow. I'm always down for a big open world RPG. Might wait for a sale though.

I don't know if anyone else has been following this, but with the Wii U online servers going offline for good in about 3 weeks, a team of players have been working together to clear every last level in Super Mario Maker before that happens and the game becomes unplayable. As of 5 hours ago there is only one level left that remains unbeaten:

Speaking of Wii U, just for old times sake a couple hours ago I went and played Mario Kart 8 online. There are just barely enough people still playing that I actually got in a few races with a full lobby.

They stopped allowing new levels in March 2021 (same day they killed off Super Mario 35 and stopped producing Super Mario 3D All-stars). After April 8 you won't be able to play any levels unless you download them now while the servers are still up.

He spent 7 years trying to beat that level so he could finally upload it. Unfortunately by the time he beat it, it was around a year and a half after the game stopped allowing new uploads. The only version of that level that exists is in his personal save file. He did upload a dumbed down version of it with a dev exit just so other players would be able to play the level, but because of that dev exit, it has been cleared many times, idk if anyone besides him beat it the intended hard way.
