Just wondering.... which local store exactly?

I imagine if i ask locally... they wouldn't know what im talking about or simply say 'we dont know what you're talking about' (lol) or not many people in our area to actually buy a few stocks so they wont bother to buy and sell... so which local store exactly (in general term) are they talking about when pre ordering... can i just get it through FFG, Amazon or ebay?

Update

AMAZON got a sucker price for $79.99 one box is insane!!!

Generally they mean "your local gaming store." It might not be in the computers yet for broad market retailers. Expect it to be available in stores by September/October, so I'd say give it another month before trying to pre-order it through Target or Barnes & Noble, if they're your only option.
