Basically 4 options:

Walmart will get you the game, plus a figure and $4.99 in their VuDu uh..app shit whatever the fuck it is.

Target will get you a $5 giftcard. Your mileage may vary, but some stores will not let you use that on your purchase. But essentially you're paying $1 for $4.

Toys R Us will get you your choice of Charizard X or Y plush ($22.99 from PokemonCenter.com) They're not exclusive, AND you have to preorder both versions but if you were going to get both, this is the best option.

Gamestop has a poster.

If it was in-store only you'd have people complaining about how they don't have a store near them. At least they'd sort of have a valid reason.

Having only "half of Kyogre" allows them to put finer detail into that half.

Are you? Assuming they are approximately the same size, you're going to get more detail out of a "closeup" than you are the whole thing. That said I don't care about either figure, not sure why you care so much about other people's preferences.

Two sessions of paint, both have dimensions of 40x40. In one, you can draw a full character from head to toe. In another you can only draw the character from the waist up.

Go ahead and tell me that in the second session, the smaller scope doesn't allow for greater detail.
