The UK-based equivalent of Gamestop, GAME UK, is stocking similar products to the United States retailer but you won’t be able to purchase a V-Bucks card.
They do, however, have POP Funko Keychains that depict a range of in-game skins that you can sport in your everyday life. These range from £4.99 to 10.99. Once you’ve got one in your basket, the Merry Mint will appear with a price of £99.99 but don’t fret, you won’t be shelling out.
Once you’ve purchased your Fortnite product, the Merry Mint will appear as free and you’ll just have to wait for the harvesting tool code.
Gamestop Germany is also offering the codes up online, but you won’t be able to visit a physical store and get a Merry Mint code.
For the rest of the world, you can use these three stores and pay the shipping costs – which could get pretty expensive depending on where you are – if they offer delivery to your location. If it works, you’ll have to wait for a physical card with the code inside of an email.
