Yeah, the slip on the box for mine says they tried to ring on the 13th but they absolutely didn't so it was just lucky I happened to go in today (the last day of the hold guarantee) or mine might have been goneski.
I feel like the fact that they gate their "preorder hold guarantee" behind how much you spend is complete BS. And while level 2 through 4 can be achieved by anyone who spends enough. Level 5 is basically only for the top 100 EB Games in terms of amount of money spent, and if you get into level 5 and you drop out of the top 100 spenders, say goodbye to your level 5 perks.
I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.
there was a point where multiple game consoles had been purchased on that card, as well as games, accessories, and stuff over the years and I was still just level 2. And now that I am level 4 the only thing that matters is I get a longer hold on preorders, which yeah should not be gated behind this system in lieu of having a system where they tell you they have your order consistently, plus a birthday voucher.
Other companies will do the latter just for letting them email me their advertisements.
I’ve had holds I haven’t picked up from Zing after a month. You just have to be nice to the staff, and they’ll hold it.
On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!
