This is what makes the situation even shittier. People are essentially paying a tax with shit they don't need to buy the one thing they want. Nintendo sucks and retailers like Gamestop/ThinkGeek are doubling down on it by making what you want available with a ton of shit you don't. Both Gamestop and Nintendo can eat ALL the dicks.

If you got the paypal email then its probably okay. It wouldent be good for them you charge you and not ship you anything.

Did Walmart open them up too? At this point theyre my last hope of securing one online
I got one for me at Best Buy last night, but I have two friends I'm also trying to get them for. Somehow I feel like I want it for them more than they want it themselves.
Sorry for the confusion. If you use GAMESTOP CREDIT it won't be charged until near shipping. So if you have credit left on the card DON'T USE IT UNTIL IT'S CHARGED.

Walmart sold out in ~20 seconds.

Good thing I really dont care about the N64 Mini as I already own all the games that would appear on that.
I know for certain I got one. I was physically in GameStop and put down the pre-order there. If those UK orders hold from WAY BACK, then I have 2 and if that GameTrust Amazon thing from early ass this morning was legit, then I've got 3.
Regardless, I've got that GameStop one in writing with a receipt so I can relax now.
Now I can enjoy PAX without worrying about this happening next week.

Are you me? Or are you my friend already?
Because I already got secured one at BB, but two of my friends were asleep and missed it. They're telling me not to worry, but my anxiety is still up lmao.

Wasn't working for me an hour ago with perfect wifi. The app is broken or their servers suck.

Anyone know if Thinkgeek orders ship on the 29th or if they are delivered on the 29th?

"You must also show said helmet and blaster to family, friends and co-workers."
I think the GameStop ones are done.
ThinkGeek right now is the only active one but with ludicrous extras that are driving up the price.
TBH, it's probably cheaper than a scalper price
even though this is practically scalping. No one is buying that extra junk over at ThinkGeek and they're just getting rid of excess inventory by slapping it on with the console at insane prices.

Backfire how? They have a limited means of production and are selling every unit they can produce. They said from the get go this is going to be a limited product available only until the end of this year.
This is a popular product that is selling out, what would you like them to do? It's not like they have a product no one is buying but is still in limited supply. Wii Us were plentiful for this reason.

They don't charge until it ships.

Gamestop's website is still down, but conveniently pointing you to ThinkGeek, in case anyone is wondering.
Guess the site won't come back up until those $300 bundles get sold.

Yeah. Cussing at accounts has become a real big problem. People end up in 12 or 24-hour timeouts for it. But it's completely random when it happens. So people can endlessly threaten you, nothing happens, but you fight back once and you're fucked.
