I called around to the local Gamestops/EB stores. First two I called were like "Nope, won't come in for a week...unless it's in today's shipment what we have not opened yet, call back in a few hours." On my last call, a rather bubbly clerk replied "Yeah sure, we got them. Just unpacked them actually....and holy crap you drove here fast."

As I was going up the stair
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today.
I wish, I wish, he'd stay away.

Based on what the person who's picked up Architect Edition said, it sounds as though you get the Magic costume pieces as soon as you install it/redeem the code. I think the whole 'you can use the code for either one of the booster packs' thing may have been speculation, or there's some method of redeeming the code that bypasses the store and just lets you pick the Magic Booster straightaway.

Not intended to be. Thought I was sharing good news.
Here's the first of many costume changes for some of my characters. Sorry for th poor quality images, these were assembled in Paint, I haven't re-installed Photoshop yet.
Desmodas in Witch costume.

Oh, sorry, didn't realize this was in question.
When I added the serial code, it immediately took me to a selection asking which costume pack I wanted; Cyborg or Magic. I selected Magic ( I go the Cyborg pack previously). It than asks "Are you sure?" I clicked yes and viola.

Maybe it only gives you the choice of which booster you want if you haven't already purchased the first one.

Actually no. I have no idea what would have happened if I had selected Cyborg since I already had it, but it gave me both options.

Well I got lucky.
Called the Gamestop up the street, guy goes looking in his shipment, comes back and says "I have one box."
"Set it aside for me?"
"Uh... how long?"
"This afternoon, evening, when I can come pick it up."
"OK sure. What name?"

I can already see the customer service escalations waiting to happen.
Confused here . . . are we NOT going to be able to buy the booster back fron the online store? It's 9:45 AM Pacific Time and still nothing there. Any information about this would be appreciated.
