I actually see a Wii Fit Trainer amiibo in stock using that inventory tracker from Reddit. But I'm not driving 25 miles out just to see if it's there and if I call I doubt they'd hold it for me.

CALL THEM. They put a Falcon on hold for me so they should be able to do it for WFT.
 
Saw these things for the first time today. My Walmart had a small section set up for them, with most of the original figures. I didn't see any Marth, Villager, Trainers, or Wave 2.

I picked up a Kirby because the Mario Kart outfit it unlocks looks pretty cute. Link and Pikachu had the most available.

Not too knowledgeable about this... Have US folks ordered from Amazon.de?

I read through their international shipping policies, but wanted to make sure Amiibos are shippable to the US and that there aren't any issues paying with dollars instead of euros.

I know these aren't region-locked so I assume there are no differences based on where you import from.

I got a Marth en-route from there. I had no issue with the converter from USD to Euro. And yes they ship to the US. I think it has to be through amazon though, not a third party.
 
Did anyone happen to see a Pit in NYC that wasn't at Nintendo world? Getting alittle nervous since the website went from 12/30 to not available and people seem to be finding him, but I haven't received a call for my preordered one yet.

I shipped it to a border store 45 minutes away so I paid $3 for shipping. That's what I've been doing with all my USA Amiibo preorders.

Anything like that close to you?

Well I'm trying to get it shipped to one of my job's offices in Texas, but the website doesn't want to match my billing infos with my credit card info.

Called my bank and confirmed everything, but then instead of not working because of this it just gave me an 'error' and threw me back to the home page. :(

Wave 2 is a clear improvement over wave 1 in terms of overall quality, and wave 3 is looking pretty nice, too.

It would be pretty weird to see Falco look better than Fox, though.

Fox is a high in wave 1, though, and already quite great...

I'm really hoping wave 2 was a fluke and wave 3 goes as easy as wave 1 did .

I don't expect so... There's already 18 figures available, and the number will reach 31. Limited shelf space will make everything quite random.

I intend to do shop openings on release day, though, because for wave 2, circa 11AM, all rare ones were already soldout (even if some Amiibos have been restocked the day after)

Why not try

Wouldn't hurt to call, but driving out there would likely be a waste of time, especially if the tracker said there was only one or two left. The Target tracker won't be accurate if some were stolen, hidden around the store, thrown out, or lost.

There's one store that has one Villager left, according to the tracker. Called them up, asked them to hold it...drove 20 miles only to find a Yoshi.

Sorry I should have mentioned I had the same issue. Call GameStop, that's what I did.
 
I didn't realize they stopped taking preorders for wave 3 at best buy. Hoping my in store pick ups for toon link and bowser go through. I need those 2.
 
Wake up, call Target1 for Captain Falcon, rep1 puts me on hold for 10 minutes, then transfers me to rep2. Rep2 "checks" if they have any amiibos left. None left, which I find hard to believe, but I don't want to waste any further time and hang up.

Call Target2, goes to voicemail. Call again, get hung up. Next!

Call Target3. Holy crap this guy had amazing customer service. He wasn't sure what amiibos were, but took the time to check inventory, wasn't successful, then went to go look on the shelf. 2 Captain Falcons! I picked them both up, but I'm willing to trade one of them for either a Marth, Villager, WFT, or Pit. The store had a few Diddy Kongs also so if y'all wanna trade for that, I can pick one up for y'all. PM me.
 
R.O.B. amiibo will be great. I think it will be one of the few I buy (maybe Yoshi since he's my Smash main and maybe Mega Man because he's damn Mega Man).
 
Got my WiiFit Trainer today even though it Sunday. Thanks again to SmokeMaxX for helping me with that. Now just wait for my Cpt Falcon from another fellow gaffer.

What's up with GO Hastings? I never had a problem ordering anything from them especially used games.

Ordered Diddy and Little Mac and both packages came with horrible dents in them that's very noticeable. Not bad for people who are opening but I'm keeping closed for collection. Luckily I got a good Diddy and Mac elsewhere and gave the two from GH to my brother.

Yup, I got him on friday night around 7pm. My friend went on saturday morning and he told me they had like 15 at that time but sold out throughout the day.
 
Went to my Gamestop and they said my preorders were not in yet (Captain Falcon and Pit), but they said they would be there sometimes this week, also went ahead and preordered King Dedede and Bowser.

Then I went to Target, they had a ton of Luigi's so I got him and also got the last Diddy Kong, so I'm only missing Pit/Falcon from Wave 2. Also tried to preorder a Rosalina and Luma but he said they were out of cards so he couldn't and then practically begged me to get a Target RED card and I wasn't doing that shit today. All in all a good day
 
so, mario, dk, samus, link, fox, pit, falcon and mac are in the house. for the next wave I want ike and shulk. Curious to see if and when they will announce other characters

Wait since when did Target start selling Rosalina cards?
 
I must have searched two dozen stores for Pit and Captain Falcon over the past couple of days. It's not too bad since I am already out driving about for work, but I'm getting really discouraged-- especially because the Target tracker said Captain Falcon was available at two different stores yet wasn't upon arrival, and a GameStop I called and said they had just opened a box with three Pits in it were out of them when I arrived a few minutes later.

I think the employees are starting to notice how much money these go for online, and when foolish people like me call ahead or ask about them in-store, they lie and keep them for themselves
only partially serious

Edit: Oh, wonderful. GameStop's website says there's a "low quantity" of Pits available in a city I drove through yesterday. I won't be back there for a week, and it's an hour and a half away. Fucking amiibo collecting is a curse. He's in Jackson, MI, if anyone is interested.
