This could be yours...
Those of you who are going to get Spirit Tracks on release day (December 7 in the US and December 11th in Europe) have a chance of getting a sexy limited edition, consisting of (other than the game, of course) a tin box and miniatures of Link and the Phantom.
Being a huge Zelda fan, I have those miniatures already, so here’s a close-up for you (click to enlarge):
Don't you just want these?

Too bad I already pre ordered the game
and I can't get this..Where do you get those miniatures ?
October 19th, 2009 at 2:59 am
does it cost more?
October 19th, 2009 at 3:03 am
How do you go about getting this? Is it random or first certain number of people or something?
October 19th, 2009 at 3:11 am
Those figures are just two of the Gashapon from the Phantom Hourglass set released in Japan. Now I'm kinda questioning whether I should cancel my order since the only real unique item is the tin, which is kinda lame.
October 19th, 2009 at 3:12 am
Looks good. But the figures our from Phantom Hourglass. I'm only interested in the game now. Can't wait
October 19th, 2009 at 3:51 am
where can i get one of those ? or is only if you pre-order the game ?
October 19th, 2009 at 5:26 am
Oh my God!
those are so oozing with awsomeness!! I want 'em I want 'em I want 'em!
at least the Link one, the phantom one, not so much

Two questions:
1. Is this offer available in Australia?
2. How does one go about getting a special edition? Is it by preordering?
October 19th, 2009 at 8:20 am
I like both the box and the miniatures =D
Now I'll make sure I get it on release day =P
October 19th, 2009 at 8:54 am
Cool figurines, reminds about WW I still havn't collected them all, there are a few tricky ones. This offer is probably because some people are sceptic about the train, I wonder if it will cost you coal to breeze through the fields of Hyrule. Too bad the game isn't for the big screen, I'm no fan of small screens. Is it possible to somehow connect your DS to TV to get a bigger picture?
Link visiting a market where someone is trying to sell a train:
"Come and buy this train with great milage!"
"Five miles per stone of coal!"
"Fiiiive miles per one stone of cooooal!"
"Come and buy an excellent train!"

you preordered, so you are getting them. That is the preorder bonus… more or less…. unless they didn't make enough.
October 19th, 2009 at 10:53 am
Nothing was mentioned regarding regions, usually only Japan and/or the US get this kind of thing. However, the soure site was from the UK, so there's a chance this might hit PAL regions as well. Of coure, that's what they said about the Metroid Prime Trilogy as well, but we got a cheap cardboard box instead of tin.
October 19th, 2009 at 11:14 am
Its a toy? Is that a dark nut next to Link? Can somebody tell me?
October 19th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
Well the tin has the UK age rating symbol so im guessing its available here as well as America and Japan :S
October 19th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
why are the commenters always clueless?
This is a preorder bonus, they are figurines, and they come with a special tin.
If any are left after the preorders are picked up, they become "first day" bonuses, if there are still some left, they just coninue giving them away with the copies. You are also supposed to get them if you preordered Online, and will have it shipped.
And Business Shrub, sorry, there is no way to connect your DS to your TV, nor is there an emulator that will play the game perfectly…. unless you have a powerful enough PC, but it's horrible to play DS games with your mouse.
If you guys are wondering how I know this, I know because this is how nintendo always does their bonuses.
October 19th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
*drools* I'm so preordering…
October 19th, 2009 at 4:09 pm
I allready got all the figures from gamestation so I'll just wait till it's released ($ days before my birthday ^^)
October 19th, 2009 at 5:56 pm
$ days before something is just awesome
October 19th, 2009 at 6:57 pm
I'f you preorder it like at a game store not online would you get it like this?
October 19th, 2009 at 8:17 pm
you still get it.
October 19th, 2009 at 8:18 pm
$ days, YAY!
October 19th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
It's a preorder (or first day) bonus, it's free.
October 19th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
I already pre-ordered LoZ Spirit Tracks in jan so I'm automatically getting the limited edition!
October 19th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
Wait, I pre-ordered at gamestop, am I getting this Edition? I hope so…
October 19th, 2009 at 10:22 pm
Me too….. (I preordered in EB-GAMES canada)
October 19th, 2009 at 10:23 pm
Hey! there's something qritten on the spirit tracks box, i wonder what it says…..
October 20th, 2009 at 12:22 am
so how do you get this?
October 20th, 2009 at 1:46 am
It says Pre-Order your copy today!
October 20th, 2009 at 1:52 am
Oh great
! I didn't know, Gamestop didn't/hasn't advertised it.
October 20th, 2009 at 2:07 am
I know that, on other sites it only mentions UK retailers handing these out.
October 20th, 2009 at 3:06 am
You guys realize this is fake right? The game has the wrong cover art and logo, and the tin is clearly computer rendered if you look at the large picture. Not to mention the figures are a flat image. And why would they bundle PH figures with the new game? The phantom isn't even acurate to ST! It's the wrong color and has no eyes.
To top that all off, I checked several stores that sell games and NONE of them have this.
I can't believe so many people on such a respectable site have been fooled by this.
October 20th, 2009 at 8:00 am
I didn't check the large image before, but it does appear that you're correct. Those figurines are awfully flat. Also, on close inspection, the lid doesn't look like it would actually fit the box.
October 20th, 2009 at 9:58 am
you do realize that this is just a render of it.. and not the real thing… right?
http://www.gamestation.co.uk/DS/Adventure/~r41768...
but it looks like if it doesn't come to America/Canada, then it will be Gamestation exclusive. I doubt it though, gamestop has many times said "exclusive" and yet any story that had videogames would have the same bonus.
October 20th, 2009 at 5:57 pm
XD I fail I ment to put 4 ^^
October 20th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
Its a figurine,so yeah i guess its a toy.Doesnt move or anything though.But that isnt a Dark nut,its the new knight-guy that helps Link in this game.He may have been a Darknut but hes good.
October 20th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
The tin is for the UK if you pre-order the game from either Gamestation (which no longer has it listed) or GAME (not yet put up for pre-order). The 2 figures are also available to buy right now in the UK so it's not a huge bonus. As far as I know it's not for Japan or Americas.
October 21st, 2009 at 2:01 am
is a miniatures!!
October 21st, 2009 at 10:17 am
true, true. But usually when the UK gets it, America gets it too (regarding preorder bonuses). So we'll have to wait and see what happens.
October 22nd, 2009 at 12:00 am
I have that Phantom Hourglass lunchbox thats in the background, too!
October 25th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
I wish you were going to give out Limited Editions
November 6th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
If this bonus isn't available in America, where can I buy the figures and tin box?
