Need help purchasing a Wii U Mario Kart 8 deluxe set

[n3nimbus]

Hello guys,

I have decided to purchase a Wii U Mario Kart 8 deluxe Set 32gb 'NTSC' (which is the US version not the Europe 'PAL' one).
Now as I understand Nintendo doesn't support India and hence its not available here.

I checked out amazon.com and with shipping it comes to INR 38,500 which is way too expensive.

Currently non of my friends or relatives are coming to India from abroad and many refused to ship from there saying a lot of such items gets lost/damaged/tampered and everyone suggested to get it from a legit site as they have a guarantee in their shipping and if anything they can atleast replace it if there is any problem when the shipment arrives.

So, do you guys know if there is any other legit site from which I can get this shipped to India?
I stay at Mumbai so any place you guys know where its available cheaper here itself?

Also, please tell me the websites where I can ship Wii U games to Mumbai at a cheap rate or if its available anywhere in Mumbai?

Thanks In advance

Have you asked around in the usual places? Alfa, shops in Heera Panna, etc? I recall that they stocked both PAL and NTSC for consoles.

PS: When you do get the console, add me in MK8. NNID: whatsinaname

The only thing I am scared of from Alpha and Heera Panna are I don't get broken console repacked or a refurbished one or even a 2nd make because there is no sure way to know. Any suggestions on the authentication?
And did you get it from abroad? And from where do you purchase yoor Wii U games from?

And yes, surely will add you

I live in the US, I bought my Wii U used off someone locally. Alfa used to be pretty trustworthy. I bought my PSP and also some DS games from them.

The mario kart 8 budle has just launched after E3. I doubt anyone would be selling it on olx right now.

@whatsinaname
Will try at alpha. Let's hope they have the new mario kart 8 bundle and at a reasoanble cost as well


Awaiting other inputs as well...

You can buy normal wii u like I do and just import whatever game you need through eBay..
It's very cost effective

@manucitc
The only thing is in the mario kart bundle, you get a steering wheel plus a Wii remote plus the game which is very cost effective rather than buying those things standalone. Nevermind the limited edition red colours on it
Hence decided on that. Let's see though how things pan out. Btw is there any particular seller you get your games from at ebay.com? Does he ship from US and what's the cost you get after the shipping charges?
