I had a dream last night where I was able to pre-order Rosalina from the Target website. This Rosalina amiibo anxiety is getting to me too much so I decided to place a pre-order on Amazon.de just in case I can't get one at Target.

I just did this just in case.

You can pre-order Rosalina and Lucario from their site. Shulk and Meta Knight are nowehere to be found. I think I'll just do that too just to be safe. If I'm able to score a Rosalina locally, I probably won't have any problems selling it for a small profit.
 
I went to Target. They had to go in the back and open the box. It was a huge Target and the only received four.

That's because wave 3 is split into two in Europe and Japan; the first part (with Rosalina, Lucario and more) are coming in January and the rest (Shulk, Metaknight etc) are coming in February. I believe only Amazon UK has the full wave listed right now
 
Not convinced these thing a are worth buying only to resell at a higher price. Marth is selling for a lot, Villager is doing ok, but WiiFit Trainer is not bringing in enough to be worth the trouble of listing and shipping. I imagine that Fox and Samus and the like are only going to be in the same boat as WFT since so many of them were shipped.

*forgot to add: I'm not buying mine to sell them
 
omg are you fucking kidding me? I was thinking about pre ordering this last night.

WHY DID I NOT DO IT THEN

Might still be up in store so might want to try that asap.

A big thing is that even though she is rare, she is not popular.
So only collectors or odd fans like myself really want her.

wave 3 is so big the west that I honestly find it weird they want to do it all at once even with the exclusives.

I just did this too. $33 after shipping. :/


Still cheaper and better than paying scalpers I guess.

But is there some kind of retailer exclusivity going on in Europe? Probably not since there are so many countries.

Anyway, if Shulk and Meta knight are coming later, I'll probably add them to my preorder when they become available.

No retailer exclusives in Europe, thankfully
 
Any word yet on why amazon hasn't shipped anything from wave 2?

judging from the way best buy also slipped farther back than originally planned, it seems fair to speculate that there was a supply problem.

Somebody said something about a port strike?

it's all just speculation though.

You can still pre-order in store. In fact, for those who are serious about getting all of wave 3, make sure to pre-order the entire wave now before it's too late. I just did an hour ago or so.
 
I am so disgusted by how limited these are and have zero patience for it.

Hopefully they do second runs throughout 2015 and I'll buy them when I can instead of buying the whole lot at once. I just don't have the time or money to worry about it. I pre-ordered shulk and Megaman and when ness comes out i'll get him.
 
Well those 3 are also the ones that seem to be found more in stores, did you order anything else from wave 2 that hasn't been shipped yet?
Oh sorry, I thought you were referring to the first three from Wave 2.

Nope, my Captain Falcon, Luigi, and Pit still haven't shipped.

Yeah especially when other areas just right in terms of availability.
 
I went and checked the Target near me that had placeholders for the first half of wave 2 this morning and still nothing. I think I'm done looking until Wednesday.
 
Best Buy has been screwing me around for 3 days. On Friday their site said the new stuff was available.

I get there, a guy grabs them from the back for me, I got to check out, wont sell then to me because they aren't actually available until Sunday. So I preorder the 2 I want to pick up on Sunday.

Go back today and they are actually on the shelf (only 1 Mac and several Zelda and Diddy). I leave those to go get my preorders which they haven't pulled!

No biggie Ill go get them off the shelf. EXCEPT they aren't available until until TUESDAY and no they still won't sell them to me despite being told several different things.

So to make it up to me I can apparently pick up my 2 preorders on tuesday for just the preorder cost of $5 each.

I have zero faith this will happen.

Best Buy seems to have a really big problem with preorders on smaller quantity items.
BB horror stories have been popping up a lot in here.
 
Just listened to the game life podcast. Where some of you guys really blowing up Chris Kohler and calling him a liar on twitter about the amiibo discontinuation? Why?

Well to be fair I did say "anything from wave 2" so that's where the confusion is, either way it doesn't seem like the other ones will be shipped anytime soon.

Were random people on the internet doing douchey things? Probably. But what else is new? I don't think anybody participating in here did though.
 
Decided I'm going to try the preorder route as a back up.

So where do I start. I'm in Canada. Is amazon.can a good spot?

Where do I preorder store exclusives?

Gamespot has 1 I can only do in store right? Any others up for grabs?

best buy is complete shit really. I dont trust them at all to rely on store pickups.
 
I fear I'm going to have to reach out for help to secure Lucario (and maybe Rosaline if I manage to miss her pre-order window) when wave 3 hits. TRU is the only store that does not exist near me.

I'm in the same boat. I'm going to head over there the day it comes out and if there are more than one I'll PM you.
