So much for Gamer Club warning us early!

They're not ready to order yet! We will hopefully get a tweet today or tomorrow telling us the time of preorder, similar to gold mario. That was great.

 

[lionpants]

How are they in your cart?

I'd also like to know.

 

[Masmajora]

How are they in your cart?

If you select compare on both of them and scroll down, you can add them to your cart.

 

[ReddishGUI]

I'd also like to know.

Is it risky to share with everyone?

It's ridiculously simple.

 

[MarkusRJR]

Fuck, they go up right before I have to go work (till 12am). Hopefully they come up tomorrow.

I used to change the code on the button to enable it but it's even simpler lol.

 

[i-Jest]

It begins. I'm hoping orders don't go live tomorrow. I've got work then

I SUSPECT they'll be up around 6pm EST like Gold Mario did...

 

[tiijj]

out of curiosity where's the compare button?

EDIT: nevermind, the page was bugged.

After looking at my tracking for my gold mario from Walmart (which is shipped) and arriving this Friday, should my credit card have been charged already? Because there isn't any statements yet to pay the bill yet.

Any order on a credit card usually takes 1-4 days to go from "Approved" to "Billed". You also usually get a "grace period" to pay, of around 21 days. Meaning if you buy something today, you will only have to pay it on your next bill 21+ days later.

All added to cart but it won't let you checkout

Getting them in the cart is what's often most time consuming.

If someones can "force" the checkout process(they might cancel it anyway...) I'd like to know 'cause I tried a lot of things and it's not working for me.

Everything is server-side unlike the "add to cart" itself so I doubt that anything can be done.

Hmm, okay. The weird thing is that I ordered it on April 3rd and it shipped on the 9th. It's not to much of concern though, but I like to pay off everything right away, so I don't have to worry about it later on.

We're sorry, but one or more items in your order are not available for shipment, but may be available for in-store pick up. Please remove the item(s) indicated below. Please note: If you would like to choose the in-store pick up option for these items, a separate order will need to be placed. (0107

No dice

 

[DeathByBacklog]

Crap. No secrets I guess. Already being reported on facebook and reddit.

Prepare for another website meltdown!

Well gotta go pick up my kids from school. Here's hoping nothing happens in the meantime.

 

[Weiss]

Called my EB and they aren't getting enough Lucina and Robin. In fact, I just missed the mark on Robin. No word on Ness or Pac-Man yet.

Yeah, screw this. I'm done with this bullshit.

 

[Begbie]

Yup, just called a couple stores.. one is getting 2 of each another is getting 0

 

[Byron Bluth]

My good friend (he was my best man at my wedding) was 1st in line and I was 2nd at my EB.

We just talked on the phone (we both were given the choice of Robin OR Lucina) and will be fighting it together.

I got a copy of his pre-order receipt and will be calling the DM first thing in the morning.

 

[Sniffynose]

I'm just waiting for Nintendo to go and reprint everything making all of our import/scalper fees sting even worse thanks to them short changing every single retailer.

I haven't heard anything in regards to the eb canada online orders being safe from the day all went up except lucina/robin. I will be livid if they cancel that on me because I had chances to get them elsewhere but those are gone now...

 

[knacklover]

For those that missed it earlier:

Gamecube adaptor!

Nope.

Edit:

I hope Best Buy doesn't screw me over if I make two orders (if I even have the time to get through two orders), since I am ordering a set of Lucina and Robin for a friend. They are out of town and can't buy it themselves :/

 

[ReddishGUI]

Nope.

Make a second account with another payment method.

 

[Sora_N]

I always miss the GC adapters. :/

 

[Byron Bluth]

For what it's worth, I tried to fight it and failed. You got the same call I did. You're in the same zone I am based on earlier in the thread.

You might be more lucky. Or maybe you have more perseverance.

I used the "they should have gotten there earlier" bit re: other customers wanting to be happy. And I mentioned almost verbatim what someone else said up there that they should rather keep 4 people satisfied than 8 people partially angry. It got me nowhere. I was unable to contact the DM.

I too was second in line at my store. Good luck and I hope you have more luck than I did.

I will let you know if we make any progress and you can then use it as a case/precedent if we manage to get both.

You're in Winnipeg so we have the same DM

My post about EB Games cancellations and demand

 

[DeathByBacklog]

So I missed nothing but the gamecube adapter from Amazon? Shame. I would have bought that and canceled my ebgames order. Giving money to ebgames just seems like a last resort kinda move now.

Read the whole thread earlier. Quite a number of responses

 

[Begbie]

What's the best way to be notified about the bestbuy preorders? The push bullets never worked with my android phone.. anything else?

I agree with this so much!

 

[DeathByBacklog]

bestbuy's website seems to be slowing down. getting hammered already?

LINE. Byron made a LINE for Canada Amiibo GAF. Download the app and PM him your username for LINE.

the Four Horsemen are upon us!

I just get tired of the "soon" mantra.

They package well and ship fast tho...

Don't need to worry about either if you 1) can't order it or 2) order it and it ends up cancelled.

Can't deny but I'm still salty about my metaknight.

You'd think they'd send a tweet out though. I'd appreciate the heads up for one.

I may be mistaken but, didn't Gold Mario have it's page up a week before it went live?

More like 6AM.

Edit: Ah, nvm

 

[DeathByBacklog]

I got the Coarse Kollectors Edition ordered up from Amazon but I'm still not sure if it's worth the price.

MKX??

Mortal Kombat.

Mortal Kombat.

Yeah I ended up cancelling mine. I debated for the longest time but, while the figure is neat they will most likely have a "complete" edition by the end of the year.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

I am!

Which version are you getting?
