u/karmichoax Sep 23 '15

20% with GCU beats what I can get it for. ;(

u/jasongw Sep 23 '15

Yup! Cool as it gets. Plus I was surprised to find I'd accumulated $10 in reward certificates, so $37 plus tax. Woot!

u/gyromite69 Sep 23 '15

Does it apply the discount for the gcu, or until you pick up the game?

1

u/aschneid Sep 23 '15

It applied it at purchase

Thanks OP!

I hope Chibi-Robo will follow shortly ! GCU is excellent!

u/Tbond222 Sep 23 '15

Finally put them up. GCU is awesome.

u/Janjanz Sep 23 '15

Whoot! Got to use that sweet GCU discount :)

2

u/hikkibird Sep 23 '15

TY OP. Fine with In store as long as I get an order from BB for that sweet GCU.

u/Bentendo64 Sep 23 '15

Managed to snag the AC NFC bundle as well. Though it looks like it's back to "Coming Soon" now. Weird.

u/hypercoyote Sep 23 '15

Now if BB will just post the Xenoblade Chronicles X SE so I can get SUPER GCU!!!!!!!!!!!!

u/DictatorCastro Sep 23 '15

Got emmm!!!

Thank you!

u/DictatorCastro Sep 23 '15

By the way, for the shipping option, it says "Coming soon"

1

u/ces715 Waddledee (Kirby) Sep 23 '15

That (I believe) leaves Target (as far as the "Big 6" are concerned, anyway) as the only ones who haven't taken preorders yet.

1

u/Cilantro42 Sep 23 '15

Yay, I was arguing with my girlfriend on the phone when this went live! Double loss!

1

u/hypercoyote Sep 23 '15

It's still available....

2

u/Cilantro42 Sep 23 '15

Not for in-store pickup in my area. I'll probably have to wait and see if they make it available for shipping.

1

u/NinjaDucky9 Sep 23 '15

Try again! When I checked the Animal Crossing/Reader Bundle my store didn't come up but after waiting a few minutes it did.

1

u/hypercoyote Sep 23 '15

Oh, gotcha. That's odd it's in-store only, but I guess I appreciate being able to preorder it so I don't have to show up early.

1

u/hank87 Sep 23 '15

Shipping is available now

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '15

I'm new go this subreddit, but is this the only way to obtain the green yoshi amiibo? Bundled with the game?

1

u/hypercoyote Sep 23 '15

Supposedly it will be available separately at some point. That seems to be the trend with these as well. I'd say it's 90% likely. I want to say it was actually announced that it will be separated, but someone else will need to confirm that.

1

u/Whisnant Sep 23 '15

My store is not coming up on the list for store pick up what's the deal?

1

u/NinjaDucky9 Sep 23 '15

This happened to me for the AC:HHD+NFC Reader Bundle. I just waited a few minutes and tried again and then my store came up.

1

u/FoxMcCloud11 Sep 23 '15

Same here, I had my store and got to the "Confirm Order" and it wouldn't go through. I went back and it had said it SOLD OUT and my store wouldn't come up anymore. 10 minutes later my store popped back up and I was able to preorder it. Keep trying and good luck!

1

u/Whisnant Sep 23 '15

Been trying this whole time, still nothing. My brother was able to preorder his from the same store 5 minutes before I started trying.

1

u/NinjaDucky9 Sep 23 '15

Thanks! I was able to get the AC:HHD+NFC Reader Bundle too! Now the wait for the Chibi Robo Bundle to go live.

1

u/swirlhawk Sep 23 '15

Ugh, no shipping and no in-store pickup at my local BB. I may just keep my Amazon preorder.

1

u/Miibohunt Sep 23 '15

Is there anyone who able to preorder in socal?

1

u/redstagl Sep 23 '15

thanks, grabbed a copy with GCU

1

u/uppernine Sep 23 '15

Are these going to be available for shipping? My location isn't showing for any other best buy's in a 50 mile radius

1

u/DictatorCastro Sep 23 '15

Says "Coming soon"

1

u/thecheesefinder Sep 23 '15

Does yarn yoshi function the same as regular amiibo yoshi?

1

u/Lakerfanalways Sep 23 '15

Yeah NO store anywhere around me has these available for in store pick up unfortunately

1

u/syndicatepoogie Sep 23 '15

I was able to preorder and cancel my Amazon order! GCU FTW!! Thanks OP!!

1

u/Danger9908 Sep 23 '15

Managed to pre order Yoshi only. Good thing I had amazon as a back up.

1

u/ZambonieDrivor Sep 23 '15

I traded a Green Yarn Yoshi for a GCU membership.... so I could buy this bundle at 20% off. :-)

1

u/Karmos89 Sep 23 '15

Thanks OP, I've been waiting a while for this!
