This is getting a little too close to amiibo prostitution.

 

[prateeko]

That's right.....keep spinning express checkout....keep spinning. Rosalina shall be mine! And if it works I shall share the wealth with my GAF brethren.

http://mynintendonews.com/2014/12/1...ir-pre-order-spots-for-rosalina-luma-amiibos/

I wouldn't spend too much time on it. It'll pop up on the site in a month...

 

[prateeko]

No Shulk :'(

Already covered a few pages back. That's just certification if safety stuff. Absence of Shulk certificate means the Shulk certificate isn't posted online yet. That's all.

 

[Scofield94941]

Well i made my 2am trip to walmart and they only had ONE peach amiibo

 

[Shadoron]

I'm reposting the link to the Amiibo Lot number database. If you have a couple minutes between refreshing various store pages for Amiibos, please add any missing numbers you may have.

Based on what's been posted so far, it seems that different regions have received complete sets of lot numbers. It would be interesting to see if any of the various regions' numbers actually overlap. We can also see how many restocks have happened, once more numbers have been added. For example, I recently purchased a new Samus to replace my "drunk" one, and she now has a "424" lot number. The first releases had "364" in the US.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/154NCz7kqi-MvuoSBIS_MCmSNsrcC51Q7vENoURchqf8/edit?pli=1#gid=0

EDIT: As I was typing out this post, I just noticed that there is a Samus under both the US and PAL section with a "374" lot number. If this wasn't a typo, then lot numbers can span multiple regions. If any gaffers can confirm they have a US or PAL Samus with "374", this would be a very interesting find. If this really is the case, then there is literally NO difference at all between regions, other than packaging. I'd love to see matching WFT, Villager, or Marth Amiibo lot numbers between regions... before Scalper John decides to start selling "loose" US version rare Amiibos for insane money, lol.

 

[Xerotwo]

I clicked express checkout and its been spinning for about 10 minutes....

I'll need one too please, if you don't mind.

Well that just made me value my amiibos a bit more.

 

[FaintDeftone]

So basically, Nintendo made it near impossible to get Rosalina at Target unless you preorder during the one opportunity they give you. Bullshit.

 

[Beren the Empty-Handed]

YES!

Best buy has charged my bank account for Pit and Falcon! Transaction pending, going through on 1/2 apparently.

PLEASE AMIIGOD SEND THEM TO ME.

Update: Now it's got the withdrawal and a deposit for the same amount pending.

Ugh.

After the Smash amiibos, I'm so out. I don't care if they make a line of Beren the Empty-Handed amiibos.

At least u have a small chance to get her in store, i can only imagine what itll be like at gamestop when shulk comes out. They will shove you should have preordered na na na boo boo boo down ur throat

All I know is that I'm going to be pulling up to GameStop exactly at opening time on 2/1. I have an Ike that I ordered ship-to-store already, so even if Shulk isn't there at least I won't be leaving empty handed (...hopefully), but I figure then is pretty much my chance. Failing that, after the hunt for previous rares, I don't know how much I'm going to want to try... As for Rosalina, Target's literally a couple hundred feet away, so fingers crossed for her.

Honestly the ones I'm most worried about though are Lucario and Meta Knight. TRU is hella far away from me, so I reeeally don't want to go there too, and Best Buy isn't exactly close either. Plus, both are easily the spottiest as far as handling amiibos go...

 

[Josephl64]

still a month away and my best plan is still waiting right before the store opens...

 

[Eteric Rice]

So I had pre-ordered Pitt off of Fry's, but I can't find my pre-order anywhere. Did they do a mass cancel or something?

 

[SFenton]

Boom. Two Marths and a WFT out in Japan.
Going back tomorrow to try and secure another Marth.

 

[olimpia84]

Mine just got in they called me late yesterday. I'm in Central Florida if that helps at all.

Mine just called this morning. They received them today and it is ready for pickup. Hype!

I got an additional email saying my order was ready to pick up, no phone call. I guess I'll give them a call later today and see if my store got any Pits in. Thanks.

 

[levyjl1988]

When does the Rosalina amiibo ship out or releases? What is the list of release dates for these Amiinos?

 

[thekonamicode]

I found a WFT, Pit, Little Mac and Fox at a small game store in Nakano. Where did you find your Marths and Wet?

 

[_SAKY_]

It actually had been preorder now for a good while but wouldnt let you add it to your cart. When it changed to add to cart/express checkout i got excited.
It even had the radio button for ship to home checked green its still spinning from when i hit checkout earlier though...

Good luck man. Add me to the list also. Rosaluna is the only one I dont have so far.

 

[Deleted member 57681]

So when's Mega Man? (and I mean preorders in Europe)

 

[Fox Mulder]

When does the Rosalina amiibo ship out or releases? What is the list of release dates for these Amiinos?

The next wave is dated 2/1 everywhere. So we've got a month of shitty supply and probably nothing but common characters until then.

 

[CanUKlehead]

So when's Mega Man? (and I mean preorders in Europe)

I preordered on Zavvi and Amazon a few weeks ago in the UK, but they're no longer available. Hopefully closer to the date they'll re-open.

Thanks, didn't know there were preorders already... waiting for amazon.de.

 

[Gaiaknight]

my pit from amazon.de shipped woot! so glad to be done with wave 2

 

[Yrael]

The next wave is dated 2/1 everywhere. So we've got a month of shitty supply and probably nothing but common characters until then.

Australians are getting them on the 29th of January.

 

[Horohoro]

Australians are getting them on the 29th of January.

People in the US keep holding to that 2/1 like its solid when we have tons of evidence of retailers selling these early I don't buy those dates for a second. Here anyway.

 

[Nightz]

So I used the cancellation coupon from TRU to order Lucario, Sonic, Mega Man, Pit and Captain Falcon. A couple of days ago I received an email stating that Pit and Captain Falcon were delayed. Just a few minutes ago I got an email that my order for these two amiibos was cancelled. TRU sucks.

 

[Horohoro]

still a month away and my best plan is still waiting right before the store opens...

Yup the order I had placed last night is still spinning at checkout this morning LOL... But yeah if it doesn't I just plan to be outside the store the day before rush in ask them to grab it from the back as I'm positive it won't be put on the shelf yet... Or it will have already been put on the shelf several days earlier than expected(I keep expecting this as I really don't think the stores have a clue on dates for these things....)

When did you use the coupon? (How long after it was issued to people?)

 

[Nightz]

Used it maybe an hour or two after I got the email.

 

[bumpkin]

I love that I got a reminder email from Best Buy to come pick up my Pit figure... Well, you know, if one of your employees hadn't likely yanked it for themselves to turn around and sell, I'd have already gotten it. Fuckers.

 

[Horohoro]

Used it maybe an hour or two after I got the email.

Wow... there is just no hope for any of us then... thats crazy considering they sold Captain Falcon and Pit all day New Years eve and the day before online...

 

[falconxcrunner09]

My Pit and Captain Falcon from BestBuy.com are coming in today. Well that was fast from them for once.

Edit: Speak of the devil, its in!

 

[FaintDeftone]

Wow, the Toys R Us website sucks!

I ordered the Pit Amiibo on Wednesday when it was currently set as backordered. Later that same day, I actually found a Pit Amiibo in a local store and I snatched him up.

I went to cancel the order on the TRU website and it will not let me log in. It keeps saying it doesn't recognize my email address, but I'm entering the damn email address that I used to sign up and even received a confirmation email from. What the hell?

I talked to the live chat folks and they couldn't help me and told me they cannot cancel the order on their end.

I called today and spoke to a rep and they told me the item is no longer backordered and being processed and that they cannot cancel it now. So basically I'm stuck with an extra Pit Amiibo. Definitely the last time I order from TRU online; they're account system is fucking broken.

So now I can either:

A. Take it back to a brick and mortar TRU store.
B. Trade it for an Amiibo I do not have, like Captain Falcon.
C. Sell it to a GAFer who needs it.
D. Sell that shit on eBay for a profit.

What to do...

 

[rjinaz]

Edit: Speak of the devil, its in!

Meanwhile, my BB order is still being prepared. Actually I think if I ever do receive the package I'm not going to open it. It's going to be a thing of beauty being prepared for so long. Maybe the best prepared box in the world.

 

[falconxcrunner09]

They arrived in prestine condition. Both were placed side ways in a box with some air thing to prevent sliding around. Fit perfectly. No damages to the packaging at all. I hope yours are in just as good condition!

 

[Nightz]

Yeah, I think I'm done with TRU. I'm not even expecting to get any of the wave 3 stuff I ordered.

 

[Serge85]

I'm in the same boat, I was happy I could preorder some other amiibos, so I "got" sonic, mega man, captain falcon and pit" , 2 days ago I received an email stating that my order for captain and pit was being processing....

Cool right? NO, I just received a cancellation email for those two "Unfortunately, some or all of the items from your order # 3053043xx8-1 are currently unavailable. As a result, these item(s) have been deleted from your order.

Here is a review of the item(s) that have been cancelled:

Item#: 19948470
Description: Captain Falcon amiibo
Quantity/Price: 1 @ $10.99

Item#: 19948482
Description: Pit amiibo
Quantity/Price: 1 @ $10.99
"

WTF, I mean, what is the purpose of preordering an item then.... TRU sucks.

 

[Adam Blue]

My orders from Gamestop came in, in good shape. Big boxes with lots of padding.

Collection as of now:

 

[Hero]

I can do one better

Ordered 2 Pitt amiibos (one for me and one for my wife sousourocket ) from toys r us

That order was summarily cancelled by their system.

Went ahead and reordered when they became available again.

Well, as the second order is shipping, got notification that the previously cancelled 1st order was reinstated. They BOTH shipped today.

Ie, I'll have an extra two to trade when all the dust settles I guess. Yay TRU.

Dibs on one.

 

[Horohoro]

I got a second Pit will trade for Rosalina preorder...lol

 

[7DollarHagane]

I got lucky, my 15 month old woke up at 4:00am one morning and rosalina was available.

Payback for never being able to find pit or little Mac.

Where is the best place to Import amiibos from?

 

[Byron Bluth]

Did we decide what the new title as going to be?

Wow, I didn't know a retailer could reinstate a cancelled order on somebody. That's kind of bullshit.

Oh well, at least I have a TRU near me and I can just return it, or sell it/swap it. No biggy. I think I'm done with their website though. The support rep I talked to was terrible and I could barely understand a word she said.

I have a feeling this will end up being cancelled anyway. I never got a shipping notice and folks who have ordered Pit way before me are getting cancelled. That would be screwed up if they cancelled on someone and then shipped one to a dude like me who placed an order several days after them.

 

[akileese]

What the shit? After giving me a shipping notice, toys r us has cancelled my Captain Falcon. Wat.

e: Went to the website and the order is definitely no longer listed as shipping and has been cancelled. Will keep my eyes out but I never got a tracking number. Holy cow TRU you are an unbelievably scummy and shitty company.

 

[_SAKY_]

Just got a my Marth from Japan. Super bent sword >_<

Same here. TRU is the most incompetent online retailer I've ever dealt with. So many screw ups, and this is just the latest.

 

[pete_clarf]

Uh-oh. Sounds like my $10.99 Pit from TRU is going to be cancelled any minute. This sucks!

 

[akileese]

Same here. TRU is the most incompetent online retailer I've ever dealt with. So many screw ups, and this is just the latest.

Yep this is exactly what mine looks like. I haven't checked, but I'm willing to bet they charged me too.

edit: No charge thankfully. I'll keep my eye out for a reinstatement of the order.

 

[Fourth Storm]

Toys R Us screwed me today as well!

Ordered 1 of each Amiibo right after getting the discount code in the email. I had 2 Pits ordered before this at normal price (and $8 shipping). Today, I got an email that my discounted Pit and Captain Falcon Amiibos had been cancelled, yet the 2 Pits at normal price have shipped!

I'm furious!
