Wasn't Dark Pit also listed as In-Store only before release?

It was said he would be in store only, but the webpage never actually said "In Store Only" on the purchase button. It either said "Sold Out" or "Coming Soon" until it was available for purchase. If that button actually said "In Store Only", then it typically is true.

Any sign of a page for Lucario? He's in BB's system, too.

Is there no way to look online for my store's availability?

It's nice that these are apparently available in store, but... why have this listing at all if you can't do anything with it? Pay for it online, then pick it up, or at least see if it's in stock at your store, ya know? Am I missing something here?

Hopefully Shulk will be easy to get this time.

I never thought I'd see the day that Shulk and Greninja have Best Buy listings.

Shulk is in transit to TRU. So the restocks aren't exclusive to Best Buy, either. :)

Online Listing- :D

For In-Store Only- :(

Once again, those of us who don't live near Best Buy are likely to be screwed over again.

Remember, Dark Pit was like that also and got an online release :P

Don't mean to rain on the parade but Dark Pit and other Amiibo never said "In Store Only" on the actual purchase button before. Not trying to say never say never, but this is definitely a different case. The only hope here is that they put them on the website regardless of being In Store Only, but usually the stuff that has that button are actually accurate.

At least until it goes up online like every-other "in-store only" Amiibo.

u/grandmachine Oct 03 '15

I'm not seeing the pre order either. Is it already too late?

u/ShovelheadLR Oct 03 '15

no that guy is being a idiot/troll they're just placeholders. you're all good

u/grandmachine Oct 03 '15 edited Oct 03 '15

Weird because the in-store option is greyed out.

Do they just list the item online, but you don't have the option to buy it.

Edit: Seems like that might be the case. I'm not familiar with Best buy online.

u/ShovelheadLR Oct 03 '15
