Jerba Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) The Blackbolt is supposedly available via the new 5,500 Amazon Cartel Coin Card. I have bought the card and will see if I get it when I log in Thank you very much for telling us about it! $40 for a pet is kind of pushing it, but I don't think we have much of a choice... However, keep in mind that the 2,400 cartel coins originally also advertised the S-12 Blackbolt until they changed it to the S-13 Sting. Nevertheless, do tell us if you get the S-12 Blackbolt with it! Recently, I discovered some evidence about an upcoming Amazon promotion. Originally, I was not too excited about it because it did not mention a pet, but it could be related to the 5,550 Cartel Coins card.

Mike_Bluesky Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I've got new Bestbuy card today from a friend and it gave me Novadive - but I can also confirm that it's region locked - got to use VPN to redeem it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damask_Rose Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 However, from what I understand, if you have already entered an EU code prior to 2.6 and got the Forest Nekarr Cat already, your old characters will not receive the FT-6 Pike, but newly created characters will receive both the FT-6 Pike and the Forest Nekarr Cat. I am assuming you'll have to create a ticket to get the FT-6 Pike on your older characters if you cannot unlock it via collections. I've had a ticket in for my FT-6 Pike. They responded with a generic e-mail about cartel collection unlocks and told me to e-mail back if I had further problems. I did e-mail back to re-clarify what the issue is and they haven't gotten back to me. Still no Pike on my older characters Amazon started it's 15% off sale, so at least I have a little consolation... I go through a lot of coins for collections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoUniverseBC Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 When is the Flashfire going to be available from GameStop? It's my favorite ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgmnt Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Has anyone tried a digital Best Buy card lately? Does it just grant or are the NovaDive just as the physical version does? Or, does it still grant the Arctic Manka Lynx? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octom Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) I tried the digital Best Buy code a few weeks back having got the original pet months ago and it did nothing for me. The physical card I picked up in store got me the Novadive. So I can infer that it should still grant the Lynx but it's a hard question to get answered in this particular thread since many of us would have the Lynx from a while back. EDIT: I'm waiting on word myself on the procurement of the new Euro card by someone here in the states. If it's as simple as putting my credit card information onto a foreign Amazon then fine. After that, is the method of getting customer service to see the pet on a new character enough to get them to send it to an old character actually working for more than 1 individual? If my main can't have it then I won't bother. Edited February 14, 2014 by Octom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgmnt Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Thanks for the response. I'm going to try the digital Best Buy code today - hopefully it gives me the pet as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damask_Rose Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 So far no response. It's been days, so I doubt they will get back to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerba Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 So far no response. It's been days, so I doubt they will get back to me. Currently, you cannot see the description for FT-6 Pike, similar to items for upcoming cartel packs. I believe that is why it is not possible to unlock the pet for the other characters. I am sure that in an upcoming patch, the FT-6 Pike will be unlockable on other characters as well, so if Customer Service won't help you, just wait until you can view the description for it.

fatsheep Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Heads up on the Wallmart Razorwire, the code didn't work like for most people, but after emailing them with a picture of the code they granted both coins and the pet to my account. I'm in Europe, so its definately possible to get even though it says US only on the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got it on my list of things to ask when I go to the Community Cantina that is coming to Colorado in March. Hopefully I can get an answer.

nellosmomishot Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I managed to get a copy of the FT-6 Pike yesterday. I bought the EU card a long time ago when it first came out, but my new characters were being granted the FT-6 all the same. I sent an in-game ticket requesting that it be given to my main as well. CS responded by granting it to me on my main and saying that it's a known issue they're working to fix in an automated fashion for the other characters. Jerba you receive this mail with Major Experience Boost Pack and title? how i can do it? I'm also curious. If I were a betting man I'd say maybe it's from the Amazon time card because of the experience boost, but that's just speculation on my part.

Jerba Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Jerba you receive this mail with Major Experience Boost Pack and title? how i can do it? No, I did not get such a mail. I just read about the promotion on Torhead, so I posted about it here in case it is related to the 5,500 cartel coins. AFAIK, it is currently not possible to get the mail or the title; maybe Amazon will sell another article in the future or something. It's great to hear that others are able to get the Razorwire and FT-6 Pike now! Edited February 18, 2014 by Jerba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octom Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Did you receive an e-mail with the code when you bought from the amazon.de site or did they actually mail a card from Europe?

If it's the first then I'm going to e-mail something dripping with whine about being charged for shipping. In my case - with the Forest Necarr Cat - it was a card with a code on it. Sent to me via RL post. Haven't bought any since December ? November ? though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the first then I'm going to e-mail something dripping with whine about being charged for shipping. Yes, the European code is an actual DVD cover that gets shipped to you, no matter if you buy it from Amazon or directly in a store. They only use digital codes for the U.S. pets. There are some websites that just scan the code from the DVD cover and will send it via e-mail, but Amazon.de sends you the cover and you need to open it yourself and scratch off the code. That being said, Amazon.de offers free shipping when you buy over 20€, so you could just order two cards, or for example a 60-day game time card along with it to save the shipping costs. I like it that you get to keep a physical memory for the pet, unlike the digital codes where you only have an e-mail or receipt.
