GameStop has opened up pre-orders for Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer with NFC Reader. Put in a reservation here. It’s $49.99, or $10 more than the standalone game.

The folks over at Reddit have secured additional details about GameStop’s amiibo pre-order event taking place on Saturday. If you missed out on the news previously, this will be your chance to reserve a 3-pack containing R.O.B., Duck Hunt, and Mr. Game & Watch.

First, here are some general details:

  • Pro membership is required once again for the 1-hour early event.
  • You can buy membership Saturday morning.
  • There is no restriction based on when you became a Pro member.
  • The price for the 3-pack is officially confirmed at $34.99. It is currently $99.99 in the POS but will be adjusted prior to the event.
  • Minimum deposit is confirmed for $5, nothing more.
  • On Thursday, stores will receive their store-specific allocation numbers.
  • Stores will be displaying their allocation numbers on signs at their entrances. (Sound familiar?)
  • Generally speaking, stocks will be put up the night before, when the last employee leaves for the night.
  • 1 Retro 3-pack per customer.

Some other interesting tidbits:

  • There are a total of 6 SKUs up for reserve on Saturday, including the 3-pack. (So 3-Pack + 5 Individuals)
  • These additional SKUs may be Gannondorf, Zero Suit Samus, Olimar, Dr. Mario, and 30th Anniversary 8-Bit Classic Mario.

We also have the following information about returning your Pro membership:

  • If somebody is planning on getting PUR Pro simply to pre-order and then return it, they are entitled to the return.
  • The web site does list the 7 day return period, even though it does not list reasons required for a return. (This is why your mileage may vary)
  • The employees are definitely going to say anything they can for you to keep it.
  • In the end, it will most likely require the current manager on duty.
  • While the majority of employees do not know how to properly return memberships, somebody will figure it out.
  • Returning Pro membership brings you back down to a regular member, it does not remove you from the PowerUp Rewards program entirely.
  • If you do decide to try and return your membership, please wait until later on in the day or the following day as to not hold up the line for your fellow amiigos.
