Amiibo Discussion Thread 2: I Got 99 Pre-orders But A Rosalina Ain't One

Another interesting quote.

Anyone know what characters have "leaked" online?

The only pattern I can really discern from the current waves is that there will be a Mario character and a Zelda character in the next wave. Ganondorf and Bowser Jr in wave 4 confirmed? Im not seeing any other "patterns" other than there has been atleast 1 female character in each wave so far.

Im interested in reading what anyone else finds though!

Duck Hunt Dog and Mr. Game&Watch were both leaked. If they're genuinely in Wave 4, then I guess it gives a little credibility to this guy.
 
Just found my package from Gamestop on my doorstep.

And now that I have pit I can open up my Captain Falcon since I was keeping him closed in case I would have to trade for Pit. Pretty much done hunting for now. Ike and Shulk on Gamestop pre-order. And Rosalina on import pre-order. I might go ahead and put in a pre-order for Sonic too.
 
Best Buy just shipped my Captain Falcon. This was a result of my in store pick up being notified as unavailable the day before release and me calling to change it to be shipped. I think Best Buy might have screwed someone out of their Pit and Captain Falcon.
 
I thought I remember reading before that someone noticed that the Amiibos are coming out in order of their appearance/numbering system that the Smash site/game use.

So theoretically, the next wave should have Zero Suit Samus, Charizard, Greninja, Robin. And then obviously more if they don't want like 10 waves. Maybe Pac, Ganondorf, or Ness or something.

The first rows are combinations of Waves 1 and 2. It doesn't really work for the character select screen either.

ZZS. The one Amiibo I want the most. GAWD.
 
That's too much :S

If you didnt preordered you are out of luck, Manager told me Latamel is sending most of their stiock to USA because thats the "priority market"

In other words, they prioritize whom ever gives them the most money. Hence why Wave 2 is so staggered. Not to mention Gameplanet is shit.
 
Forgot about Mr game and watch, really gonna pre order him asap when wave 4/5 get announced

Got my extra falcon today so I'm gonna unlock my falcon suit for hank hill mii B^)

I hope I get as lucky as I was with Diddy Kong, I have found a lot of them.
 
Seems like Fox is next on the chopping block the US? Sold out online everywhere I looked, and I'm not seeing him in stores anymore.

Yep, seems to be the case, maybe we get a restock down the line, but for now stalk amazon and other stores.
 
Just a heads up, you're running out of time to import the rare three. I just checked around a little. Marth you can still get on Amazon.de. However, I couldn't find a place to import Villager anymore. Amazon.fr and Amazon.it will allow you to place orders for Villager but they state they are unsure when they will get more stock.

But yeah, use Amazon if you can, your login info should work for the various Amazons. You save money if you buy at least 2.
Thanks for the tip. I grabbed Marth, Fox, and Pit from amazon.de, they had Villager from alternate sellers at a decent price but it seems only Amazon would ship to the US. :( Seems that I will not be getting a villager now.
 
so now ive got pre ordered

BBY (ship to home)
meta knight
bowser
toon link
megaman

GameStop (in store)
Ike
Dedede
Sheik
Sonic

dont really care for shulk, but rosalina and lucario...guess im gonna have to put on my scavenger hunt shoes for those two. and its kind of depressing seeing some of you get your bby and gamestop orders shipped so late =/

Heh. I have passed that phase and resorted to importing. Gotta say that I prefer the EU packaging over the US version anyway. God willing I will get a Marth with a straight sword unlike the JPN one I got that has boomerang-sword.
 
I just got off the phone with Best Buy. They said that my Pit and Captain Falcon are definitely not cancelled, and that I should be hearing about them being shipped to me by Wednesday. They said that the problem wasn't shortages (as I'd pre-ordered them a while back), but simply that they could only ship out so many at a time and there's been an initial rush.

If anyone else is waiting for Best Buy shipping, you might be in the same boat. They said to call back if I didn't hear anything by the end of Wednesday.
 
-Open Google Chrome.
-enter amazon.de
-search "Marth Amiibo"
-Check the price, should not be more than 15 Euros.
-Activate Google Translate (Right click on the webpage and select translate, or go to options in the top right corner of the window and choose translate this page).
-Log in to you amazon account, no matter where you are it should work.
-Try to buy 3 or more figures, shipping is way cheaper that way, add them to your cart.
-Choose your payment option and be sure to select your preferred shipping method, cheapest on the top.
-Pay up.
-Receive email notification with shipping.
-Wait.
-Eat something while waiting.
-Cry because of the stress of waiting.
-Go watch Madagascar's Penguins.
-Come back to your house, your shipment was there today but you missed it, DAMN YOU DREAMWORKS.
-Wait until the next week for it to arrive.
-Here it is! Open it!
-OH MY GOD ITS BEAUTIFUL DID I JUST PAID 60 BUCKS FOR A FEW TOYS WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME.
-Enjoy

If I were to order 3 amiibos using this method how much would it come out to in the end?

We are on the same boat, you and I, lets row together.
 
I got my Fox today that I traded for a Pitt so I made sure two of my Amiibros got the Pitts they needed! He's so awesome, and so fitting too "Mission Complete"

...until Wave 4 :0
 
20 per figure? That's not bad at all. I need Marth, Villager and WFT. NEED.

I dunno if WFT is available still on amazon.de. I just got Marth and found that I could not get Villager shipped to the US through the secondary sellers that had the item n stock. Good luck!
 
Check out this post from Chicago craigslist. How bad is the scalping situation? One picture is worth a thousand words...

Hooooly shit! Wow!

I'm actually impressed right now.

If this guy doesn't sell half of those before a hypothetical Restock he is going to be so screwed.

Insane and at the same time not surprising.

Who ever this fucker is, they'll have to sell those within the year before people lose interest and move on the the new series wave. SMH, why do these people have to be such snakes? They're apart of why this Amiibo situation is such a mess. To make matters worse we really have no way of stopping them legally. I mean we can send a message and not buy from them but how many are that adamant though? This is just disgusting.
 
You have a link? I might share a few choice words.

Just search on Chicago craiglist for amiibo - you can't miss it. What I don't get is how this guy got all of these. Is it possible to really get this many hard to find amiibos if you're a "pro" scalper?

looks like he ordered them from amazon? based on those boxes... but who knows

i really wish theyd implement some sort of limit on how many you can buy, but thats basically impossible

Amazon did put a limit recently, but maybe he was smart and preordered all this before the amiibo craze was at full power? I don't remember there been a limit before.

Got a person in my area with a box of Capt. Falcons on Craigslist. Box is the same the ones that my local target brought out when they were just stocking the shelves. I would assume they bought everything the store had.
 
FYI amiibros - looks like gamestop has all wave 3 available for preorder right now (excluding Shulk)

Just added in-store pickup for Ike, Sonic, and DeDede.

That with my Amazon toon link and mega man reserves should be good. I'm confident that sheik / bowser will be around at launch.
