Yeah that's why I intend to moan to their CS when my package comes. There is a problem with connecting Wii U consoles to the Internet with Virgin Superhubs in the UK, so might have a moan about not being able to download the game! XD either that, or I'll see about selling the code on eBay and using the monies to buy a physical copy.

Still waiting to hear back from Nintendo customer service about it, but a GameStop customer service rep told me she estimated selling only a couple thousand online, not counting in store sales. For US only, not counting Canada or Mexico.

but US Gamestop recently restocked it..both on line and instore..and I remember seeing it for at least a full 2 days after it was restocked and maybe longer but it didn't interest me so I stopped checking on it when it was restocked and made again available for sale as pre orders this was earlier this week I believe...it was tweeted out by gamestop, and all major game blogs....I doubt only "2000" were sold on line...more like 20,000 for the US at least...

Yes, Saturday morning I know they had restocked it, maybe Friday night too? But by Saturday noonish they were all out again. How sure are you they were stocking it again in store? Because the local store I called said it was an online only thing, they had not been able to presell any more copies. The GameStop.com rep I called that gave the 2,000 figure was the one I called Saturday afternoon, after they had re-stocked/sold out again, and she said that figure included the original week, 8/28 to 9/4 that they first offered it, plus the final preorder day, 9/28. I mean, yeah, who knows, maybe she was full of it. I'm still trying to get a straight answer out of NoA.

Edit: Note that GameStop.com still had it listed on their site as "available" until probably late Saturday night/early Sunday morning. It would even add to your cart. But if you tried to check out it would remove it "due to changes in available inventory" or something. So for half a day at least, it looked like they were selling it online, but they really weren't.

Edit again: I don't see a tweet about it on GameStop's Twitter feed.

I don't know exactly when it was restocked..but I most definitely saw it on 2 separate days as available, because I was curious as to how many more they reproduced...keep in mind gamestop is alleged to have done reprints of xenoblade and Metroid prime trilogy..and I went to gamestop at a local mall and it was still available to order during the restock period..then again..it could have been some cancellations or what not...but still..i saw on line avail for sale on 2 separate days...theres no way this is a small run....numbers will be 50000..they have to sell X amount of figures to turn a profit for the factory, gamestop and Nintendo...$10 extra leaves little room unless thousands are being replicated (figurine)...LOL..this is no Zelda UK Silver DS limited promo..

Yeah, I mean, who knows. If you're really curious, you should try to find out. That's what I'm trying to do...

I got one of those, so I'm confident I'll get a few of these somehow someway.

Go NOW. There's a couple more in stock, but they only let you buy one. I think it's based on billing address. I tried different names, accounts, computers, shipping addresses, and credit cards, and they only let me buy one. But if you have more than one credit card with different billing addresses and you set up 2 different GameStop accounts you might just get 2.

HURRY. This will be gone in a few hours at the most. I got one and I'm heading out to local stores to get at least one more. Good luck!
