I have no idea why Australia got it so much more in advance, but I've still not had a chance to pick it up because I'm too poor to afford a 3ds :(

It's not that the Collector's Edition is pre-order only, it's that as soon as the Collector's Edition was made available for pre-order, the limited quantity of them sold almost instantly.
This was the original purpose of pre-ordering, you know. It wasn't just to get money early from the customer, it was to ensure that the store would have a copy for you when the game released. And it still is very important, especially for import titles that are considered "niche". Does no one remember the days when pre-ordering was pretty much the only way to ensure that your local store would actually get enough copies of the game to have one for you? Man, I feel old now.
I don't, but only because most of the time I didn't get the game until years after it's been out anyway.
I need a 3DS. Right now!
Wow, this game even gets its own sub forums now? Is it that hyped?
Now I almost feel bad for not getting it before you greedy americans can get it even though I've had the chance to for a few months. =(
Are you guys also getting that Agnés figurine with pre-orders?

Yeah... I heard people weren't that satisfied with it.
I thought the Agnes figurine was from the Collector's Edition, not for pre-orders. Either way, I believe it is unavailable in NA. No pre-order bonus that I am aware of, and our Collector's Edition includes all the other features, but not the figurine.
Gee, I wonder why...
Look what came in the mail today ;) Arrived on launch! I haven't opened it yet but the back is visible. It comes with a soundtrack, art book, and a deck of AR cards. Along with the game itself and the collector's edition packaging, of course.

^ You lucky, lucky bastard. It's true though. If you ordered a more popular game's CE late, it would have a fairly good chance of being canceled due to selling out. I remember the Mass Effect 3 Collector's Edition selling out like a few days before I put my order in on Amazon, so I was really fortunate about that.
I really hate how NA versions do not have a figurine. But we got the free Bravely Default for the sequel upgrade I believe, so that makes up for it?
Game day at Leon's place!
So, apart from Leon who got the game today?
