Didn't preorder - still get Constitution class ship?

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
I made the mistake of not pre-ordering the game....and would now like to get it. I understand that if you preordered the game from Gamestop you would get a Constitution (original TV series) class starship as your bonus item. I don't know if that is the best bonus item or not, but being a huge fan of TOS I would like to have a replica of the Enterprise to fly around in, even if it is only for a limited time.

I called my local Gamestop and was told that if i didn't preorder it, I could not get this item. However, she didn't sound like she was that familiar with the game. Does anyone know if I buy the game now, is it possible to get the Constitution class ship? Was there a code in the box, or did Gamestop give you a code?

Thanks in advance!

Steve

    No.

    It was a pre-order bonus. You missed the boat mate.

    I'm assuming this;

    it'll be available in the C-Store some time soon as with all pre-order items
    Developers said that p much anything that is in the c-store (I think it was that anything that gives a player an advantage in the c-store) will be available by completing missions

    so ... yeah.

    Actually, as long as they still have stock, you do get it still.

    And by the way... even the non collectors edition has the connie...

    And DONT throw away the cheap weapons that come with it. They are blue colored phasers and weapons like the TOS connie had =)

    Thanks guys! So is it a code inside the box? I plan to head out to Gamestop tomorrow to actually look at their boxes. I saw a copy at Target tonight and it said that you could get some kind of phaser rifle with purchase of the Target edition.

    Simple Fact:

    The "Pre-Order" bonuses, apparently had nothing to do with pre-ordering them. If it did, we would have had them in Head Start, and they wouldn't advertise those same bonuses ON THE RETAIL BOX!!!

    False Advertising annoys me.

    When you get to the store, look at the box. If it has a small picture/sticker of the Constitution on it on the top left corner, it will be in the game. It is simply tied to the retail code that will be in the box. Once you enter the code, and jump in the game, check the C-store link in game and check to see your Conny. Claim it, and it actually shows up in your inventory. Right click it and make it active and it will now be an option to chose once you get to the Starbase 1. You will be able to rename it and re-number it too for free!

    Actually, from a bit of research, it's looking like people are selling the Borg BOff also.

    Not meaning to advertise, but one caught my eye - the Borg BOff and the TOS Connie for $AU50 (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250575502532&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT)

    As a fellow Trekkie, I wish anyone who wanted one could have the original Enterprise, as well as the other 'exclusive' stuff. I feel bad for people who missed out.

    I was flying my TOS era Constitution around this morning. Even though I outleveled it in the head start she is really beautiful.
