This is a shame. I would be really upset if my order was affected by something like this, and I can only imagine what the retailer is going through right now. I'm sorry to hear that your (and many others') rare amiibo got stolen.

How do we know "scalpers" did this?
This. For all we know it could be the truckers themselves or something. Employees in Walmart/Gamestop already buy off most of the amiibos when they are released into the stores. Wouldn't be surprised if they stooped even lower.

Given how my amiibo has been stolen I feel I can at least have a little joke about it being scalpers

No **** sherlock read my replies
I would have a comeback for this, but it would be deemed too rude, so I won't. Anyways, when I was typing out my reply, others replied before me, so when the message I sent out was sent, people have already made that observation, which is why it was impossible for me to read your replies Watson.

I see you too went to Law School, what a pair we are. Together we should track down these thieves.

I just heard about this on Reddit, real glad I didn't decide to order at GAME. I wasn't sure if I wanted it while I was in town, didn't get truly hooked until afterwards. That sucks really bad for everyone who's losing out on their pre-order.

This applied to my order. Gutted is not the word for how I feel. Ordered over a month ago.
Had to go through amazon now, and hope they have the stock there to actually fulfil my order. Paid extra for shipping too. Pre order bonus gone as well.
Thanks, idiots with the stolen truck.

See as soon as I read the email I was ready to cancel and go and order elsewhere, but I actually can't afford it right now. I pre-ordered so long ago and I'm a bit tight for cash so I've been making sure I have the EXACT amount the order costs in my bank. It's bad enough that that means I probably won't end up getting the Squid Amiibo, but my GAME order also isn't being shipped until Friday because they want to make sure everyone who wants to cancel has cancelled. So I don't even get to play on release day. So ****ing pissed.

What the squid? Even though I'm not affected, that doesn't change the fact that the thieves are Grade A ***holes to ruin people who have anxiously anticipated the Special Edition.

I hope the thieves get caught.

THIS is why you either A.) Pre-order digitally, or B.) Don't pre-order at all.

Joking aside, why did you guys decide to get the physical copy? Just curious.

... I guess it was a good thing I hold off on pre ordering the Amiibos.

Luckily (?), it seem like only one store got affected by this so you can probably pre order somewhere else.

I much prefer physical copies to digital ones. The boxes are awesome, plus I love having a collection of them on my shelf. Plus, the Amiibo bundle. Digital games take up space, too.

Why did you go digital? Because of the discount I'm assuming?
