Where to buy the CE?

Gamestop only got the regular for my preorder.

from GalCiv2 Forums
I went in to pick up my preorder from Gamestop today only to discover, to my horror, they only got the regular edition - not the collectors. I've had it preordered for months and it just happens to show up on my birthday - and it's the vanilla procrastinators version. So I just finished calling 30-some-odd stores in my area and nobody has the CE. Thing is, I want the box and techtree and stuff too - I know Stardock is giving the CE game content but I really AM a collector and want the box to reflect that.

Where - where - where can I get the Collectors Edition? Yeah, I should have ordered online and I would have been playing last week and I'd have the box here today. But no, I waited patiently for almost two extra weeks for my retail place to get it and I got screwed. Figures. And don't recommend ebay - I had $40 set aside and I'm not paying $80+S&H - not in a million years.

I'm desperate here - I don't think I've ever had to go through this for a game before and it sucks. Are there any websites selling the CE, any retail chains that might be getting in some CE boxes as regular stock? Someone has got to be able to help me out here.

Ok, I'm retarded guys. Just saw this while browsing through the Wiki:

Do I have to have pre-ordered Galactic Civilizations II to get the collector's edition?
No. Direct CD orders will be fulfilled with the collector's edition until we run out of stock which should last for a couple of months. After that, you are likely to get the regular edition.

I'm ordering it as soon as I get home from school tonight.

Presently the only way seems to be ordering direct from Stardock, or getting it at WalMart.

Damn, then I'm ordering this as soon as I can!

I wants me some more jewelry!
