Forums - Nintendo - Kirby's Epic Yarn released 4 days early at BJ's club

I know, no pictures so everyone is going to be bummed.

BUT

I was shopping at BJ's only 30 minutes ago and walked through the isle that has the videogames and Kirby's Epic yarn was on display for $46.99 (typical BJ's price). When I saw it I said "I didn't know Kirby's Epic Yarn was out already" and went over and took a look at it. The funny thing is, I only just noticed that it was released early because I just read an article about how the Nintendo World Store is closed for remodeling til Nov 1st and will be closed over the launch of KEY and then it dawned on me

So, if you want the game early you may want to check out your local BJ's club.

I thought about that, but I really don't think it would turn a decent profit. I can make more money selling ebgames exclusives on amazon during the holidays.

OOC: What does BJ stand for? I have a too dirty mind to guess the right meaning of this abbrevation.



It was probubly just a mistake at one store. I remember when Real Canadian Superstore in my city accidently put Harry Potter on the shelves a few weeks early. They sold all 100 copies before they realized the mistake. It was the single store not the whole chain and the chain got penalized heavily for it.

All it takes is one dumb employee. The mistakes easy to make when I worked at a Real Canadian Superstore in my department their was a product scheduled for release the next week. But in the back the box ended up in the stock shelves section. I almost stocked it on the shelf, but luckily after openning the box I noticed writting on the inside of the box listing the release date. I was confused as I didn't know that oil filters got release dates so I called my supervisor and sure enough it was too early. I put the box back in the back for stocking the next week.

All it takes is one employee not noticing the writting on the box and bamb the products on the shelf early. You should so go back and get your copy so you can brag all over about having a copy. Then report it to Nintendo its the honest and right thing to do...lol

While, that may be true BJ's doesn't seem like they really care. They always do weird stuff with the videogames. For example, when older models of consoles get discontinued they continue to try selling them at the original price while not stocking the newer cheaper model and other stuff like that.

No, I didn't buy the game either, as my budget is super tight this month with tons of bills coming in. I have my yearly phone bill, yearly insurance bill, a bunch of additional small bills, and a vacation all stacked up this month.
