Pokémon Sword and Shield have been building hype for their mid-November release for some time now. Only recently, however, it was announced that pre-orders with bonus figurines and DLC will be made available. Unfortunately, this news did not arrive soon enough for some eager fans who’ve already pre-ordered the games. For those who haven’t yet, it might be worth waiting a little while longer.
Some pre-orders are now offering a choice of the three Galar starters (Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble) along with a DLC ‘Tracksuit’ outfit. Fans also have the option to buy both versions of the game in a combo pack to obtain all three starter figurines. At the moment, however, this offer is only available in Japan.
Other countries can still get their hands on these new collectibles, it just may prove to be a bit more difficult. Players in the UK can find the figurines attached to the Sword and Shield combo pack at certain retailers such as Amazon or Game. Those in the US will have a harder time securing the figurines as they are not offered along with the combo pack on Amazon. So far, eBay seems to be the only place for American fans to obtain these bonus figurines. At a price tag of $200, however, it’s probably better to buy them separately at a later point.
There’s still hope for Pokémon fans outside of Japan and the UK, however. The bonus figurines could still be released in other territories later on, possibly even alongside the standard single editions of Sword and Shield respectively. It’s not unheard of to roll out collector content country by country.
As of now, there is no real rush to pre-order, as there is no discount for pre-ordering and the games are not a limited release. Hopeful Pokémon fans might want to wait to see if they’ll be a better pre-order offer coming to their region soon.
