jesus fucking christ.
I am not meant for this life of trying to accquire special edition nintendo goods.
Whenever someone mentions BS:EL CE I panic and think its up for preorder.
Zelda Wii U CE is gonna bankrupt me
when that game comes out the dollar will already be at 0.59

Same. Only this time it's about the FE: Fates SE and I missed that instead. Can't win either way it seems.

Can't you also return in store?
It could be worse, I will probably need a second job if they release a CE/LE Wii U Zelda Edition. LOL
yeah but why bother having to wait until the delivery comes and going to a store to get your money back?

Maybe the stores won't be stocking these 3DS units if you're unable to select store pick-up.

You could pre-order in store this morning.

how good is ebgames.ca at limited edition preorders? do they have a history of canceling orders?
doesn't work. At least when I tried to cancel that garbage overwatch one.
Had to go in store.

For an online order? Cancelling online has worked for me every time. Just email them.
Oh shit yeah forgot, maybe because I had to put down the $5. I'll try again anyway.

Looks like one of the Amiibo's that I ordered from Best Buy arrived in the mail today, and it came in a box! Looks like I was worried for nothing.
Oh no. OH NO.
WHAT THE WHAT?
It's just a little bent, it's still good, it's still good! *hyperventilates*

Seriously though, this was the filler amiibo I ordered from BB in order to qualify for free shipping. Even his face matches the face I had when I opened it and saw how it looked. I still haven't gotten the amiibo I actually want (Lucas), but I'm not too optimistic about its condition when it arrives.
Another thing that I should point out is that if you notice on the shipping box itself, there's no packing tape on the box itself to prevent anyone from opening it. the only thing that was used to seal the box was the shipping label, and when I first received it, I noticed that the label was peeled off slightly allowing anyone to be able to open the box. Awesome job Best Buy. Awesome job.

Thanks, preordered (fuck me). I was going to see if I could get this added to one of my 30% off orders but Amazon makes that next to impossible, even by phone.
I assumed its Pokemon+Tekken

You should check out the classifieds in the back of the paper. Maybe there's some sweet deals.

Called EB and they were able to find the pre-order for the Pokemon 3DS in their system. Apparently nobody knows about it, so they're available.
I'm going to try to get up there this weekend.

At this point it's just best not to think about it.
The dollar will be fluctuating for a while.

It's okay, Ventara. I prefer the physical flyers, too. They make good toilet reading material.
I get annoyed when the Best Buy flyer (and before that, FS), doesn't come.

Confession time:
I kept the last FS flyer...

Yup. Me too. Its probably $3-5 lost on me. I still have 2 more orders next month. I'm hoping for a good dollar next month
You can always try your chance on their chat service. They might be able to do some miracle.

I would love to swap out a game with Pokken. Doubt that would ever work though.
I still have a Target flyer, snif :'( i'll forever miss their clearance sales
I have done it several times in the past, but the seem to have gotten a bit more strict. It's worth a shot though, i'm gonna try it right now.
edit: Yeah, no dice. I haven't had any luck with Amazon CS lately

I have a few old Boxing Day flyers. It's interesting to see how technology has come over the past few years.
Flip phones, last-gen games, DVD's and CD's, etc.

I chatted with amazon, and they said since I have a promo on that order the promo will removed. So I asked if I can remove the game and make a new order with the other game and they make a discount on it. they said
=D
Edit: I haven't cancel the "old" game yet, wonder if they will cancel it? lol
