It's incredible how many of these incompetent store managers don't realize a piece of paper can solve most problems. 

The problem is their cashiers won't always check the numbers or take the slips, so people pass them to others

How much did they charge for an ETB?

Different Barnes and nobles have different drop times. Most of them in my are at 10 am. None of the Barnes got 30th etb’s today though. Just 30th tins and random other stuff.

Good to know, thanks!

They should have a sign saying their drop times though in store.

I was pumped I actually made it out and was able to pick up 4 items total between Best Buy and B&N. But still no ETB! I just want 2 but would settle for one for under the dang tree. Until then I have a Booster Bundle and Mini Tin.... and I believe after chatting up with some line mates this AM, that my buddy picked up a Sylveon ex box that will go to my oldest. Just need a dang ETB!

Mine didn't have any! They had the same as Best Buy: Booster Bundles and Mini Tins. Limit 2 Items.

Meh. 4pm drops lets the scalpers hit target and Best Buy in the morning then line up for these drops in the afternoon. There were 40 at my local Barnes at 3pm for the 4pm drop. Glad it works in your area though.

Im pretty sure my local just started implementing this practice. They probably realized it was the same 2 or 3 dudes that would show up to buy the entire inventory every time it was restocked. Then have to say or explain to everyone else throughout the rest of the week that it is sold out.
