Sorry if this says somewhere, but I see a lot of talk about Rosalina and Lucario in here recently, but aren't those supposed to be in Wave3 which is coming late Jan/Feb?

Yes they are, we're talking about preorders for them.

So far Lucario attempt 2 is holding. No cancellation yet.

 

[shanafan]

Lucario cancelled by TRU this morning and Pit cancelled by Target. This is getting way out of hand.

Gamestop.com had Pit available around 10:30 AM EST. I kept getting the empty shopping cart error, and now it's not available.

 

[falconxcrunner09]

No surprise here, my Lucario was cancelled this morning.

Does TRU do in store pre orders for Lucario?

It's in reference to pre-order availability. I was confused, too.

 

[newarrior]

Found a Diddy Kong and Zelda at Target in San Jose, but nothing else. Only one on the shelf, one a day.

Pre-ordered Wave 2 from Best Buy, only Zelda has shipped so far. Little Mac is scheduled for today, and the others (minus Diddy) are scheduled for the 30th still. None at any store in the South Bay that I can see this morning.

Lucario is off the TRU site, Amazon has nothing listed, it's crazy-time!

 

[kirby_fox]

No Falcon or Pit in the wild.

At this point, I'm out. I have way more important things to do now and it sounds like I may be losing my job all of a sudden.

Best of luck guys.

Yes, if you can find the pre-order cards.

 

[Justzisguyukno]

Going to assume the preorder cards you can pickup in the store are safe from being canceled... right?

[Sorceror12]

I've seen Kick Starter campaigns run better shipping a product .... OUYA.

 

[PadWarrior]

So I have wave 3 preordered at Amazon and Gamestop. How is Gamestop when it comes to shipping? I got all of wave 1 from Amazon with no problems but Amazon not saying anything about Wave 3 I may drop them.

 

[shanafan]

No Falcon or Pit in the wild.

I do not believe either are out in NA right now. Expect end of the month.

Pitt was on gamestop just ordered one!!!!!

That would be a valid presumption. However, whether it is the truth, I don't know. We are still in the early hours of this whole crazy shit that happened last night. No one at TRU is speaking on it in an official capacity.

There are only a few things I know:

1) I have not received anything saying my instore preorders were cancelled.

2) I am still charged via my bank card for the money I put down on the pre-order cards. Until that is refunded, I presume they are still valid.

3) I have not visited the store on the release day and been denied one for the reason of "Your preorder doesnt exist anymore"

Lucky you! I kept getting the empty shopping cart error

Was gonna go check TRU for Cap and Pit but seeing as they haven't really had any NA sightings yet I would likely just be wasting my time.

Don't worry guys, we'll have some nice looking Amiibo cards instead of the figures that we want very soon.

Nice! I might have to check out my Target in Dearborn on my lunch break.

 

[LiK]

was gonna order the rest from GS and quit TRU but the handling charges jacks up the price. wtf GS lol

 

[O.v.e.rlord]

I hope that you can get one. But I predict that you may post something very angry after your lunch.

Ugh, half the fun is a neat figure. I want nothing to do with nfc cards. When are they going to start that?

I at least want a proper ness amiibo.

 

[Sorceror12]

wait, are those just the slips? They're not actual preorders?

If the guy just took the slips and didn't pay the $1.00 reservation and provide a valid email, along with not getting a receipt that gets STAPLED to the reservation card, THEY ARE WORTHLESS TO EVERYONE including HIM.

Hope no one gives in! It's a SCAM. That listing should be reported on craigs list.

Oh, I have dealt with far worse in this amiibo saga, lol.

Amazon sent me Link instead of Marth. Yet, I am still kicking it in high gear in this saga!

They're trying to sell the pre-orders for Lucario for $20, but the somewhat common Luigi and Zelda amiibos for 40 each? The hell?

 

[Vidiot]

I'm just sick of running around looking for these things. Think I'll just trust Amazon to eventually come through with Pit and Falcon.

I can't see craigs list at work but judging from other people's responses, I'm assuming he's selling Lucario Pre-order Cards?

Might be the chode that took all of Gaithersburg's yesterday.

I haven't lost sleep but it has put a bit of a damper on my holidays. I was really happy yesterday when I was able to secure some pre-order cards for gaffers and myself, but with all of the cancellations and other uncertainties, etc. it has really brought things down a notch.

Thanks.

Captain Falcon is now showing up as in-stock in a lot of Target stores in major cities. Two stores in Boston have 'em.

Pit keeps flipping on and off as far as being available at Gamestop.com this morning.

Nothing yet on my end - empty shopping cart galore!

I wonder if Omaha counts as a major city. It didn't at 8:00 this morning.

Was able to get one in...about half hour ago...judging by my luck with TRU and Target though will likely see it cancelled though...

 

[graydient]

If you see one in stock at your local Targets, call and ask them put it on hold for you. They should keep it behind the counter until you come. It worked for me when I got my Diddy Kong.

I store that is about 15miles from me is showing as having Falcon and Diddy, but in store pickup isn't available...

Makes me think it could be an inventory error.. guess I'll just have to call.

EDIT: Called and they were actually sold out. Department store inventory tracking is quite poor..

 

[PMS341]

So why are you guys worried about Rosalina? Has Target had any official word on store availability/pre orders being nonexistent? I know that she isn't able to be preordered in store YET, but why wouldn't she be eventually?

 

[LiK]

I would have to drive 13 miles one-way to pick Luigi up

Worth it?

he's not rare so no

Is 13 miles suddenly a long distance? That's like a 10 minute drive. lol

if you live where I live, even 5 miles took a while cuz of traffic and all the lights, heh

 

[PadWarrior]

Called 2 Targets in my area no Falcon anywhere, not even in the State.

 

[Roubjon]

After driving around my area for 2 days going from store to store I finally found an F.Y.E. that had 4 Diddy Kongs. My day was made.

Still no Little Mac though, but oh well.
