First the stupid change where even if you order something with a pre-order bonus online you have to get it in store (Which the stores did not have enough for like with Fire Emblem's Tarot Cards), and now this. Kind of losing any reason to even pre-order or buy new games at Gamestop anymore compared to other retailers outside of using trade credit.

Looks like stores might randomly still be adding stock? My closest store randomly got in the Kotobukiya ArtFX Black Panther and Black Cat premier statues today that I ran out to get

This clearance deal is taking me back to my old CAG days, I've driven all around like a 50 mile radius to hit up stores, these are the best deals I've ever seen on statues and figures. Also a nice headstart on Christmas gifts for friends and younger family members

EDIT: Same store randomly got the Hulk Premier Statue in today and an Ironman Nendoroid. Gonna end up with most of this statue line from clearance/eBay sniping lol

Damn was the Pink Viper Ultimate really $40 it came up for me at $64.99 

The sticker price was, but the guy had to manually adjust the price to that otherwise it was 64.99. I also did end up swinging by the last few stores in my area, glad I did because I found...

Marvel Premier Loki ARTFX Kotobukiya Statue - $65

Kotobukiya Darth Vader Industrial Empire Statue - $85

Razer Tartarus Pro -$60

One store had 2 different Wand Company Poke-Balls showing up on the website but I had no luck finding them instore sadly. Also couldnt find any Magic the Gathering stuff despite numerous stores showing them as well. 

Made out like a king today, found....

Razer Base Station V2 Chroma - $31

Razer Viper Ultimate Quartz Wireless Mouse - $40

SH Figuarts Jujutsu Kaisen Megumi figure - $24

Jujutsu Kaisen Furyu Figures (Set of 3) - $35

DC Direct Harley Quinn Statue- $45

Steel Series Qck Prism Neo Noir RGB Mat  - $18

Kotobukiya ARTFX J Star Wars Rey Statue - $60

Animal Crossing Flocked Figures Set 2 - $16

PS4 Doom VR - $2

One of the stores had SOOO many other Razer and Steel Series accessories. Also lots of peripherals like Sound Bars and Lighting/Video gear. Might do another trip around the other side of town tomorrow, a few stores said they had other Kotobukiya ArtFX figures in stock.

Well I had a lucky ass day. Just happened to be right up the street from a Gamestop when I saw Wario64 posting they had 13 Sentinels and Persona Strikers for $5. Ended up also leaving with...

SH Figuarts Digimon: Imperialdramon Fighter Mode for $36.49

And SD Gundam: God Fighter Red Lander figure for $9.99

And a Black Widow V3 Mini Hyperspeed Wireless Mechanical Keyboard for $60

Gonna swing by the store up the street from my house when I get off work a bit later

EDIT: Second store had....

Attack on Titan: Eren Yaeger Master Stars Figure for $14

and the Sonic the Hedgehog 30th Anniversary Diorama for $32

Got the $10 off 50 game coupon, also had a coupon for $5 off 20 or more worth of books, and a targeted one for 50% off Kombucha. Triple score

Mine said the same thing and today I was blessed with an email and  tracking.

 

For context, I bought mine on the 2nd wave

Mine is showing shipped as of around 40 minutes ago. The website still says processing but I got the email with tracking, arriving next Tuesday

Ordered in the first preorder wave

Y’all need to look back at the AWD penny game prices of 2011.

I’m glad these low priced mistakes are back.

Man I miss those days. I still remember the couple nights/days where the entire algorithm was fucked up and there were insane deals all over. I still have some of the statues from the new CE's I got for like 10 bucks or less.

The amount of pearl clutching when things like this happen is just comical.  

 

I'm guessing that the vast amount of consumers know that it is incredibly easy it is to make a scalable e-commerce site, both for lower demand and massively increased demand, that is entirely secure and not subject to denial of service style attacks.

 

Building a site that handles tens of thousands of transactions on a given day, then has to scale to millions of hits in a single second is not something that is easily accomplished, but for some reason everyone thinks you can just flip a switch to make that happen any time you want.  Not to mention the infrastructure and data costs that you incur while people are hammering said site.  

 

As Shoresy says, "So Dumb."  

I don't think literally anyone here said it was easy?

This is Nintendo's own product, they 100% had to have known the demand, and decided to handle the release in the absolute worst possible of ways. Neither of the other two Special Editions were even a 1/10th as hard as this to obtain, because they did not decide to release it solely on their own store that numerous times before has shown its prone to collapsing due to demand from lesser items (Like the My Nintendo pins)

Yup. Was signed in on both mobile and desktop, managed to add to cart on mobile the moment it went live, then got signed out on both and now its saying item limit reached and its impossible to log back in

Seconding Betrayal. Some of the most fun and chaos my game group has had playing board games, its a staple for us.

A new edition just came out recently too that apparently really upgrades the game and also adds new haunts/scenarios

I just price matched this to Target via live chat for pickup since I have a Circle Deal for making 2 $40 purchases to get $10 back, and somehow the rep ended up giving me $20 right off the full order price, so only paid $44 in total.

Not sure if anyone else would have any luck replicating

I apologize if I’m one of those people but I felt like for this specific incidence with the Elden Ring it was ok to post the updates when it’s possible there are so many others that may or are currently having this issue. But I’ll leave it alone and not post anymore about it the issue

This. Especially given how badly its getting screwed up compared to other more isolated incidents

Mine is still Preparing for Shipment while the stupid whistle is coming today. Gamestop really fucked this one up bad

EDIT: Reached out to customer support and apparently my order had some sort of hold on it? Despite being charged and partially shipping. They added 15000 points to my rewards account atleast, so I'll take it.

Double Edit: I was looking on Reddit and apparently a non-small amount of people who ordered the CE's are receiving random standard copies instead?

Just got an email from Gamestop saying there was some sort of issue and that my order would be on its way on Monday the 28th.....weird...but as long as they fulfill it I don't care.
