Its funny though because they can't really cancel in-store orders like this (they can just not hold some if they wanted to), but in-store pre-orders seems to have been saved from the massive cancellation fests from what I've heard.

Either way, I just pre-ordered all the non-exclusives at GS as well as I'm tired of trying to hunt things down and didn't want to have to wait outside the door at TRU when they launch (or a week before as that's how they've been releasing them it seems!). Got my in-store for Lucario, got a hook up for Rosalina, and I'll have to hunt/fight/scavenge/send in a swat-team/etc. to get myself a MetaKnight.

Still sick that they've announced "even MORE retailer exclusives" with Wave4 and are excited about it-- seriously!??

I hate to admit it but GS seems to be the only place that won't cancel amigo orders

Yeah, they're really the best with pre-orders - though they've had more practice than anyone that's for sure. The only bad thing (besides never any "deals" on them) is the fact that they always put the stupid price sticker on the cardboard. It comes off easy sometimes, but occasionally it'll peel the colors off...

Yeah, if they do that, they'll probably do it when either a) none of my friends are in college and able to swing by and get me one and/or b) when my daughter is being born or some other life event more important to me than these things...

I really wouldn't mind a "club nintendo" exclusive amiibo though - as long as it wasn't too many coins and such. I've got nothing else to really spend them on except the "new" 3ds cases they launched the other day. (I stopped getting poster sets from them as there's a guy locally who always buys them and then sells them on CL for $20, so its worth the $20 for me to just get them and save my coins).

Ah yeah wasn't too keen on the SSB poster set myself, especially not for 700 coins.

The Zelda game card case is the same as the one they had last year I already picked up. Club Nintendo amiibo would be a good idea. NWS amiibo would not be worth the trip.

Just ordered Villager and Marth from Amazon.fr, if they have a nintendo world exclusive I'll just order an EU version

Yeah im glad here in AU the amiibos arent tied to any one store, i luckily only need ike which im sure i can get after launch. TRU really dropped the ball for those in the states, i dont really have confidence my set of amiibos i reordered again will actually be fulfilled. I ordered ike at walmart hoping it sticks. Things just seem more of a mess in the states completing them as sets or even just getting the ones you want.

I'll keep an eye out for an extra Shulk when I go and pick one up for you if I can. Perhaps you could do the same for me with Meta Knight? I forgot to preorder him from BB

I would gladly do the same for you KnightOfTruth but the nearest best buy to me is more than 68 miles away........
My little old city did have a best buy until it closed from not getting enough business. I'll keep a look out though if they have it up online though and thanks for looking out for me.
