Still no word on local retailers selling Collectors Edition of Heavensward

As the title states, there is still no word on when it will be sold in local stores. I just checked with Game Stop, and they still don't know anything about it. The community team said that it will be sold at local stores in limited quantities and they would get back to us.
Here is the thing and I'm not trying to be negative, they have had plenty of time to let us know when we can go buy it, at this time I feel like we where just being placated to calm us down here in the forums. While that mostly likely is not the case that is what it feels like to me.
I bought the 1.0 Collectors edition missed out on Realm Reborn collectors, due to I have kids did not have the money right away and the limited supply screwed me (I also wasn't going to pay scalpers $600.00 for it).
I don't want to have to miss out on this one due to miss communication. Why don't I buy it from from the SE store you ask, well said kids got me a gift card from Game Stop for my birthday last December. I have been saving it to buy this, I mean why spend extra money when I don't have to. SE I wanna give you this money, the question is do you want it.

I wouldn't hold your breath, I bet any local stores will only get a couple CEs at most if any. SE wants you to purchase the game at full price off their own store, obviously to net a bigger profit. They're even providing download codes to Physical Edition purchasers in order to ensure they will be able to play on day 1 of launch.

I'm also willing to bet that even if you do get the physical version you'll still have a large download to deal with in the end anyways.

I don't doubt anything you just said, hence why I said it feels like we are just being placated to calm us down.

I live in Puerto Rico, and the Game stops in my area are accepting reservations. However, the pre order must be paid in full ($150) and then to wait till release.

The Game stops here in California don't even have it in their systems, and the employee who helped me today checked all the way back with their offices in Texas and no one knows anything. /shrug

Ok GameStop in the US is called EB games here in Australia and New Zealand for legal reasons. The local stores in New Zealand and Australia (I am from New Zealand) are not stocking the CE edition, it's only available on their online sites only, so it won't be on the local stores system. Sometimes on the New Zealand EB Games website, the CE edition will sell out for a while and not be listed online, then a few days later more become available and it will show up again. I ordered my CE online here in New Zealand as my local EB games shop called the buyer in charge, who said the company is keeping the local shops out of it as its in limited supplies. I hope this helps. :D

You want to give money to GS not SE that is the issue here.

Ah now I see. That makes sence.

Just keep checking back with them. They are sure to have it up soon

If there is a Best Buy in your area they may have it. Its on their website, though you cant pre-order it yet. /shrug

Two days after pre-orders started, the local Gamestop clerk told me they were completely sold-out of the CE.
Apparently now and then, somebody orders one but never picks it up, "so you might get lucky that way" he claimed, (pointing to a Titanfall CE that has been sitting behind the counter for several months).
