So I got a call yesterday from Gamestop saying they had my preorder in, and I picked it up today. They were all being kept in cabinets behind the register, with none out on the shelves with the other collectibles (this store had no figures at all, come to think of it).
The voicemail I got from the store gave me a laugh though. It was basically "Hey we finally got your preorder in, thanks for your patience" with emphasis on finally and patience. Makes me think they've been hounded by the local scalpers.
