Smash Bros Wii-U Collector's Coin - Best Buy Select Stores (US)

[KnightOfTruth]

Well darn, looks like none of the Best Buys near me are "host stores" - at least an hour+ drive anywhere I go. But for those of you in the US who like to collect these gold coins from Nintendo releases, Best Buy will be giving them away to the first 70 people who attend their In-Store Demos (again, only at Select Stores)

To pre-order/demo, visit a participating store:
• Wednesday, June 11 from 4 p.m.–9 p.m.
• Saturday, June 14 from Noon–5 p.m.

Be one of the first 70 attendees at each event to pre-order Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS or Wii U and receive a rare collectible Super Smash Bros. gold coin (one per customer, while supplies last).

Choose your state and see the "host stores" near you:

You and me both - but there's absolutely NO way I could get there for a Wednesday...though it does say "at each event", so maybe there's hope for the Saturday? ...there's always ridiculous eBay prices, right?

Wow thanks for the heads up!

I'm going to sign up for the Gamers Club unlocked today for $60 since it's half off..so I will definitely be pre-ordering my copy there since I get 20% off lol.

I'm going to try and make it on wednesday! Fingers crossed

Yeah, GCU works on CEs too, so if you got Titanfall for instance you saved $50 right there! If you somehow can get to one on Saturday too (for the coin) please keep me in mind

I'll try bud, although I highly doubt it.

I'm sneaking out of work for hopefully no more than an hour on wednesday. I know Saturday I won't be able to

Nearest store is over an hour away and $30 in gas/tolls.

Ouch! That's worse than mine. I imagine eBay will be cheaper than that! Especially if each host store is getting 140 coins, they're bound to flood the bay.

Looks like mine's about 30 minutes away, no tolls or anything but it'll cost me about 8 bucks in gas round trip.

Might try for both days, but you have to pre-order to get a coin right? So pre-order the Wii U version on Wednesday and the 3DS version on Saturday, I guess?

For those that plan to go specifically to get one of these coins, how early do you plan on getting there prior to the start of the event?

[KnightOfTruth]

If I can get over there, I'll probably only try to get there about 15 minutes before the start of the event - I don't think these typically have 100 people that would show up hours early - but I could be wrong. I suppose it also matters on your location and the volume that store typically sees though. I do best that most BBs would be willing to give you a coin if you showed up early anyway as I've seen them do it for things like Steelbooks and such before, but obviously YMMV.
