There us a GAF thread for trading. Not sure how active it is. Maybe start there?

Where did you ordered from?
Just making sure about something.. but the Link with the clear stand never made it into production right? Cause he sure does look alot better than the current amiibo in stores..
Right the yellow is the one in production.
Amazon.fr total came out 31euro with Rosalina shipping whenever available.
Originally I just ordered what I wanted but I caught the amiibola and now trying to collect them all...

Sorry if it has been answered, but are the missing wave 1 figures (WFT, Marth, Villager) DEFINITIVELY discontinued? It's been a bit unclear for me.
Falcon's is the worst. Looks like it's close to going up his crapper.
Nobody knows. Nintendo is not being forthcoming. They say certain amiibos "could" be brought back which pretty much says nothing like typical PR talk.
My guess is, no they won't be. Right now Marth and WFT can be imported but don't expect that to last long.
Wait, yeah. You're right. I traded mine out as soon as I got him because it just really ruined the piece for me.

If anyone desperately wants Diddy or Luigi my Target has quite a few and I'm in right now.
Got my captain falcon FINALLY and of course, TRU completely messes up the shipping. The box is so dented I'm honestly surprised the figure isn't damaged. Ugh.... Whats the standard for returning things to TRU? And will they send me another? I want an undamaged figure AND box and it really pisses me off that they damaged this and now because I didn't order from anywhere else, I fear I may be stuck with this.
While the current Link definitely looks like he looking down, you should take the picture with the current Link amiibo perfectly straight like the prototype picture so the comparison could be better. Your current picture of the Link amiibo is kind of angled

Wow. From Toys R Us about my Pit and Captain Falcon they canceled on me

Any idea if Best Buy will have any more Meta Knights available online or do I need to buy from one of the Amazon European outlets?

NO Wave 3 orders on Amazon are avaliable...not even Toon Link. Dam.
I could have tolerated the stand, terrible as it is, but the positioning of the chracter drives me nuts. You can't see his face w/o looking from underneath the figure.
I don't think that's an option anymore. You might have luck with a Japanese import though.

Got an email saying my TRU cancelled amiibo order was reinstated and should arrive in 5-10 days, and another email apologizing for my cancelled amiibo order with a $15 off code.
I just noticed that. To be fair, Sheik, Toon Link, and Bowser were up for a long ass time.
I think its been said many times here....if you want it, don't hesitate
They will limely sell like hotcakes IMHO. Be there at opening come 2/1.
With as much as Target limited their stock online, I'm confident they will have Rosalinas on the shelves on release day. Gamestop though I'm not as confident. They had Shulk up for a long while.

Was in the hospital due to a drunk driver when they went up for pre-order, sadly. >.>
Jesus. Glad you're ok. Unfortunately I think MKs are sold out everywhere. I looked recently and couldn't find any place to order it from. You're best bet at this point is trying Best Buy when they hit stores.
I just received one each for both Pit and Captain Falcon, even though they were in the same order. They did not get reinstated (guessing because of PayPal policies again) and people who ordered long after me had theirs fulfilled, so I have no idea what to expect for Wave 3 at this point.
Oh totally, especially at GS.
Yeah, might grab Rosalina for myself since she might be usable in a few upcoming Mario games & maybe a spare for a friend.
I don't have a BB near me but might have a friend help me out with Meta Knight since I wouldn't mind using him in Kirby & Rainbow Curse.
Sorry to hear that. Hope all is well.

Rosalina @ TARGET: good luck staying awake at 3:30-5:30am for online preorders. I really hope stores limit her to 1 per person in stores. I can imagine scalpers buying all of the stock, not leaving one for anyone else.
Meta Knight @ BB: 100% sold out online. In stores on release day, no word if they'll have extra stock.
Shulk @ GS: 100% sold out online and in store preorders. In stores on day of, it's rumored they will only have enough for preorders and will have more in store for regular sale at a later time. GameStop is going to hoard them.
Lucario @ TRU: 100% sold out online and in store preorders. In stores on release day, no word of they'll have extra stock.
Overall, good luck getting any of them. I hope I'm wrong and it's super easy.... With that being said, order whatever you can overseas if you don't want to go through hell at the four stores above. If you order any of the above overseas, order Rosalina, she's gona be CRAZY to get here, maybe impossible.
Ugh I'm excited and dreading 2/1 at the same time. I hope I manage somehow to get them all. Any BAY AREA peeps want to team up??

I can't think of a reason for Amazon to limit stock like the brick & mortar retailers, however. I wonder how many amiibo they were allotted.
Lucario is pretty much the only exclusive amiibo you can still import. One place I saw has Rosalina still and she is currently the number one seller in the video game category there; it's only a matter of time. I have yet to come across a Shulk or MK in my searches.

Doing better now thanks, just having to go to therapy to get my arm working again normally due to it being in a cast last month.
Nearest BB is a bit far away so I guess I'll see if they restock online.
That's what I thought till I re-read it and saw they said they were shipping it free of charge! I posted my email above.
Edit: sorry for double post.
For whatever reason my email doesn't have that part about it being free ;(

I'm guessing those that got it for free had their orders cancelled on them twice. I ordered back in nov. It got cancelled. then got it reinstated. Then they cancelled again and now they are reinstating again for free.

You could always try telling the cashier the SKU number and having them enter it manually...that's how I got my Villager preorder.
I think this is now yhe 3rd time a large number of GAFers have had this issue with TRU and each time the orders get reinstated it seems. Same thing happened with my wave 3 orders and most everyone's Lucarios.

Oh shit, mine says it's free. I guess that's why it still shows cancelled on Toysrus.com. Free amiibos and $15 off code - not bad.
