Stupid Target. Alright so if I order from Amazon.fr instead, I know the outside packing looks different, but is the figure itself any different? Basically once I open it, is the figure otherwise identical to the US figure?

That should be correct, yes. Only the packaging should be different. The figures are region free as far as I know.

If you didn't get one. It's over for now.

That's some heavy BS.
 
Thanks, yeah I knew there was talk of them being there and in Richmond, VA. I'm a little far from there though. I tried Frederick when they came in (and I believe still said in stock to my knowledge) but two different people claimed they don't have them. I live up in the Northwest near Gaithersburg and Rockville.

Ah okay, yeah I used to live there, that would be a nightmare with 270 and the Beltway at the best of times. I've been taking weekend road trips to Winchester and Front Royal and having moderate success, scored a Marth in Front Royal the first weekend.
 
This is what I don't get. Exclusive content/toys/items are meant to draw you to go buy other stuff from them. It's to entice you to shop there instead of somewhere else. What's the point of all this for the retailer if all they're going to do is sell 5 of them and preorder them at 3 am when most people are asleep and they're gone in seconds? What does the retailer get out of all this?
 
I don't care about the box so my amazon france order is fine by me, assuming they come through. Never used them so I don't know if they're as dependable as Amazon US.

Also fuck you target!
 
So this is awesome. Gamestops are getting their Pits in today but the employees are snatching them up and putting them on hold. Much like Target and TRU, these things are not even hitting the floor.

Well it has just been a REALLY shitty day for me amiibo-wise.
Lost all my wave 3 from TRU and now I'll have to fight tooth and nail for a Rosalina. I did check that one site someone kept posting to get her but I can't get it to give me free shipping like he said they offer. I even added 2 to my cart >:(
 
i just ordered a little mac amiibo

why did i order a little mac amiibo? i do not know.

really hoping my falcon and pit are shipping soon, and my target wave 3 orders aren't cancelled :/
 
It's weird hearing about Captain Falcon and Pit being at Target when they're not anywhere here in the Bay Area.
I feel like CA is getting shafted here or something. No one seems to be finding stuff in CA and the only wave 2 I've seen is Zelda. I'm probably totally wrong tho.
 
What the hell, I didn't even know Rosalina went back up. How long did she last this time? Here's hoping my Amazon.FR order doesn't explode. This is so maddening... but I'm just as angry at myself for getting roped in. At least I'm self-aware, I guess.
 
Freaking Target... Thanks for putting up the pre-order in the middle of the night!!

Geeze didn't they also say on Twitter that more would be coming? Do any competent stores still exist?
 
I'm gonna swing by some local stores tonight and take a look. Fuck this bullshit. TRU and Target canceling preorders is so fucked up.

Why ask people to preorder you asses.

Even with the large population, distribution always seems to suck here. I remember the former Pokemon figure/plush company was out if SoCal, and yet Canada would get shipments in befire the state they were made in!

I no understand...
 
Went to my local Best Buy at open to see if I could actually buy the Diddy I saw there last week that was snatched away because of street dating.

No one in the store could find it. It was showing in stock but was nowhere to be found. Thanks a lot Worst Buy.
 
So my Lucario got cancelled. It was ordered when the first batch of preorders went up and I'm in Canada so I have no other option now.

Any kind USA gafers willing to preorder one in store for me? It can be shipped to a border store that is 45 minutes away from me so no need for international shipping.

I will pay for shipping, the item and a bit extra for your help.

Anyone willing to help me out?
 
So my Best Buy says they never got a little Mac even know they had it available on the website for me to pick it up. I think I got screwed over by someone snatching my preorder or Best buy putting it on the sales floor. My friend who works there said I was the only person to preorder him too. So frustrating.

Amazon now!!
 
If some brave soul wants to call or try then Target in Granada hills in CA online is showing in stock. Only target I see in so cal that says in stock. Take from that what you will. No in store pickup available.
