JoeyW001 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Okay. My excitement turned into anger, not only couldn't I reserve the special edition the day of pre-orders went up at eb games. All regular editions of fates is sold out too? I went to 2 ebgames and 2 Walmarts. Almost all the employees had a nice giggle saying I was just a few mins late when the last copies got sold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwlr Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 It's more that they didn't make enough special editions, it's Nintendo after all. As for running out of regular, you live in Canada so yea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyW001 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) Sigh.. Frustrating to say the least, I used my lunch from work to try to buy one.. Now I'm Fire emblem'less and I'm hungry... This is the first time I've seen out of stock 2 hours from store opening since tactics ogre for psp.

Shinehollow Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Well, good thing I live in a small town with probably very little FE players. If there is the chance it's not in my Walmart, well, I guess I'll buy Paper Jam or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 This is why I preorder stuff. How come you didn't preorder? You didn't think it'd sell out so fast? I suppose that's understandable, but even so, I don't take any chances these days what with the past Amiibo situations and what we all saw happen with the Fates SE.

It was definitely my neglect to realize how popular FE became after awakening. When Awakening launched, there was abundance of Fire emblem editions 3DS XL's sitting on eb games store shelves. I'd figured if i couldn't fight off the hardcore FE fans for preordering special editions for Fates, i'll take my chances with launch day. The mind set was If i spent 20 dollars on preordering the regular editions, but managed to find a special edition on launch day.. it'll be money wasted.

dragonlordsd Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Just got my copy!!!!!!!!!!! And on that note, farewell. Good luck to the rest of you. May your special editions arrive successfully!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanajimaismycat Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) I missed out pre-ordering online but went into EB and ordered in store Dec 7th, just picked up my copy with no issues. Probably lucky to live in a small town though. Only downside was the younger woman who asked who I was picking it up for as I guess 45 yr old women aren't allowed to be dorks too :) Edited February 19, 2016 by Hanajimaismycat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFantasm Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I showed up at my Gamestop 30 minutes early, and at like 9:45 about 10 people popped up out of nowhere. I'm glad I woke up early, because I could've very easily been in the situation you are now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nukemind Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I'm both saddened and happy to hear this. Personally, I got two preorders cancelled (a WalMart and a BestBuy), then camped out in front of Best But and finally got my Special Edition. In my city (San Antonio) both Special and Regular are all sold out pretty much everywhere. This is NOT a bad thing. Let me explain. This is negative as fans can't get it. The fact that I almost lost out on my SE due to scalpers ticks me off. HOWEVER- it also means the games are popular like the topic says. It means we can look forward to more FE's, the studio is making money, we can count on a lot of DLC (must say- DLC seems reasonably priced in FE) etc. This is the most popular I've seen a FE game since I started with FE8- and I'm happy about it.

wesman2232 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Hey give Toys R Us a try! Everyone forgets about them and I've gotten really lucky there. Ah man you really got my hopes up there. I instantly called up Toys R Us to see if they have it. They do not carry the special edition D: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
