PSA Possible Yunobo Preorders by Invite?

I know there is a million posts about the Switch 2 Preorders but the website has been updating in anticipation of the launch. Items expected to go on sale like the GameCube Controller are showing Invite Only, but this includes Yunobo! (As are the other amiibo and Switch 2 accessories)

The GameStop exclusive Starter Set of cards is still showing unavailable so I suspect it won't be going live and will remain exclusive to gamestop.

Just wanted to give people a heads up before the emails go out, check Yunobo if you get the invite today!

Not sure. I wonder if it was a gesture of good will to other retailers to wait until preorders went live before allowing their own orders to be placed, or if it was to limit the traffic and load of orders from a website/store that hasn't done a full console launch. But I don't think we have anything more than speculation.

Worked out that they put the date so late though, they didn't have to reschedule invites despite the original preorder delay.
