My Best Buy

And at my Toys R Us, every hook says "DONKEY KONG AMIIBO."

These will always make me laugh.
 
Best Buy keeps a lot of amiibos in the cages near checkout now. At least mine did since they were afraid of people stealing.

I wish we were that lucky. We've been out of Mario, Link, and Pikachu for a bit, so unless you really want DK and Peach, it's a fucking wasteland until tomorrow morning.
 
Just curious, anyone know where I might get figures of some of the cut characters? I've got ones for Squirtle and Ivysaur, found Snake, Young Link and Pokemon Trainer (aka Red)- but I'm stumped on some of the others.

Stumped enough that I'm tempted to look into 3D printers and try to make my own models...

Who else are you looking for exactly? There are figures of virtually every other figure I can think of except Lucas.

I can't find anything for Lucas, Ice Climbers, Roy, or Wolf.

Snake, Ivysaur, Squirtle, Pichu, Pokemon Trainer, Mewtwo and Young Link are doable. But those 4 don't seem to exist.
 
Best Buy called me letting me know that they did not get Little Mac, which is weird because I got an e-mail about 20 minutes ago saying it would be available for pick up tomorrow.

And what's this B2G1 free thing you guys are talking about?

It was glitch that let people use Amiibos for the B2G1 gaming software (PS and Xbox). It lasted a few hours before they fixed it.
 
Been checking various Toys 'R Uses, Targets, and Best Buys for a Diddy Kong amiibo over the past few days with no luck - until today! I was visiting my parents in Thousand Oaks (CA.), so I decided to check the local Best Buy just for kicks, and they had just one left! Nabbed it immediately. <3

Ahhh that's by me!
 
Walked into a Target today to buy a computer/monitor speaker. At the entrance was a big sign that said "we don't have any Luigi Amiibos".

Thought that was amusing.

Guess Amiibos are popular or something.
 
Also still have Luigi and Pit coming from Best Buy. I'm in no rush as long as they don't get cancelled. I'd consider running out and getting Pit if he was out around where I live and keeping a Pit for trade or something.
 
Since Toys R Us never took him down from their website, I would keep your eyes peeled on that one for possible instore pick up or home delivery being an option again. Definitely be looking around though. We might end up getting some in the next few days on the east coast (Hell, the rumors could be true and they could already be here and just are being held back)
 
So is Nintendo purposefully making these things hard to find? No luck on Diddy or Luigi at BB. I saw Fox earlier at TRU and almost bought him and another. Held out to check best buy but they're decimated. On BB's site Fox isn't available for shipping anywhere near me. I shoulda bought Fox at TRU when I had the chance dammit.

They probably underestimated demand and didn't have the infrastructure or foresight to increase production.

It's their first foray into this market, remember. Hopefully they're learning.
 
Got fox and zelda tonight. Didn't see anything else at Walmart and GameStop.

I was at the Walmart where the gaffer stashed the villagers behind the yoshis.. All that were left were 3 yoshis.. Sad.

The mistake was stashing it behind amiibos. Should have put it behind Skylanders or Disney infinity figures.
 
I think someone stole all the Foxs' at the TRU near me. Three of them say it's in stock for store pickup, but neither of them have any. I ordered it online at the 3rd TRU and went inside early since I was already here, and currently they're running around looking for it.

Another gaffer already grabbed them I believe.
 
UPDATE: Just got confirmation from my good friend who is a manager at TRU that the memo about not helping people get amiibos is true and that his store isn't even receiving any Captain Falcons. He said he'll look around and let me know what happens.

Told someone on here I'll update them and ask that memo question.
 
Was at a babies/toysrus today with the wife getting diapers for the little one. They had Luigi so I grabbed him and canceled my amazon preorder. Now I have Mac, Zelda, Diddy, and Luigi and I just need Pit and Captain Falcon to complete wave 2. I have those two on preorder at amazon though.

Wait what is the memo?
Makes it sound like if you ask them about amiibos they're going to say go away.
