So, I think what I'll do is wait until Saturday and pop in around noon. If someone's there giving away Mew, then I'll go buy it at full price at EB (I've got some credit there). If no one is giving away Mew at Toys R Us then I'll just wait and get it cheaper on October 2nd.

I really hope someone is giving away Mew though!
You have to at least be far enough in the game to be able to trade pokemon(since you have to trade for mew) so be sure you've got enough time to speed through the game to that point.
