Thankfully I called in and they were able to get it off the shelf before it sold.

Maybe it's time to find another store at which to do your preorders. I'm guessing there aren't as many stores in Fredericton as in Montreal, or Toronto, but if everyone at your store is a moron, it doesn't seem to be worth the headache.

We got 1 Gamestop and Comic Hunter. Toysrus here never really gets anything and pretty similar with Walmart too. Comic Hunter is great but there is usually a higher price (Small busines so around $40 per deluxe, 55 voyagers and 85 leaders) and takes forever for some things. Legacy wave 1 preorders never even game in.

Oh, I didn't realize there's only one gamestop in the whole town. I've got 4 stores within 15 minutes drive of me in downtown montreal, and about 10 stores within 25 minutes drive, barring horrendous traffic.

So yeah, it's tough in a smaller market. If you're sticking with GameStop, for the Edge discount, O assume, then ordering online is probably your best bet. You can always order more than you need to cover the shipping, and return the rest in-store.

Good old 15% off from Onyx would be the key reason right now. Saves the 15% tax rate. Had worse luck with shipping from Gamestop so I suck it up and go through the store as I can also make use of game trade deals.

It's been a long time since gamestop has had shipping issues. I haven't missed a single one in probably two years. The pandemic issues are over. Yes, sometimes items get cancelled, but in that case they're cancelled at ALL gamestops, not just online.

Damn, wow. Awesome you were able to catch it before it sold though, but these stories still make me nervous lol.

Luckily the people at my Gamestop have been super awesome to me, so I was able to get my megs and rhinox no problem.

Newmarket GS had one gamer Megs on the shelf.

So SS86-23 Voyager Ratchet has NOT been listed yet, right?

Just a little concerned I missed it because ROTB Mirage is apparently the same wave (according to TFWiki). But obviously Ratchet doesn't come up in search, even sold out.

Ratchet and the rest of that wave are supposed to go up on the 24th.

Great, thanks for confirming!
