So frustrating because those 2 are the only ones I want in the whole wave

What might have happened... not sure, depending on timing... when the rest of that wave went for pre-order, the three deluxes did NOT. It came out that for whatever reason the deluxes of that wave were not going to Canadian distribution! Places like A3U, TSM, the smaller etailers put them up because they can get them from American distributors.
But then weeks after, GS ended up putting those three up. So if you were trying to pre-order when GameStop did not have them online and was told/telling customers they were NOT GETTING THEM AT ALL, then that would be the explanation.
This might not help at all, because if you were trying to preorder when the three were on GS website and local stores were saying no, I would wonder:
a. Your local stores were still working on the older information and didn't bother properly checking once GameStop DID indeed get them available for pre-order.
b. they were online only? I dunno
c. the pre-orders were already sold out
or d. those stores are staffed by incompetents lol
I'm sorry you missed out. Are they available on A3U or Toy Snowman or anywhere still?
