I haven't seen this picture before but it looks like the actual figure! All the other pictures I've seen of Shulk don't have the clear support by his legs. If this pic is indeed final than this looks like a mighty nice figure, face and all!

I don't know, it looks way too good, I'd be pleasantly surprised if this is what the retail version ends up looking like.

Well there's this picture:

But I think that's the prototype.

Looking at this, I'm a bit tempted to buy a second Shulk (although it's probably too late for that now) so I can make a custom Link that holds the Monado. That or make a dual wielding Shulk.
 
I got an email from EB Games telling me that my preorders will be ready soon. However, the release date is still listed as 29/1/2015.

Entertainment Expo was mentioned before as a legit retailer, so I spoke to one of their reps about the Little Mac listing. She told me that if it's up for preorder, then it means the manufacterer has told them they'll be getting enough stock to meet their demand. It's all subject to change of course, but it seems like there's a chance so I went ahead and placed an order for Little Mac. The only downside is that their cheapest shipping option is $4.95 for me, but the rep told me that they guarantee mint quality on arrival, since they deal with collectibles regularly. Oh, and they won't charge your card until it's in stock. Might be worth checking out for some of the rarer amiibos, since I know Falcon, Pit, and Mac are all up for preorder there.

Little Mac

Pit

Cool. Grabbed 2 of each. Just like the Holy Trinity B&H orders, if they fill these I'll raffle these off for free in this thread. Thanks for the heads up. Assuming all my orders happen, I'll have 8 rare amiibos to give out.

He's actually my fav smash character to play besides Zero Suit Samus. I really really want Shulk and Rosalina so badly. Like collecting aside, I just want them because they mean so much to me on a personal level. I'm so scared I won't get them on Feb 1st without pre orders. :(

My TRU said yesterday they are still doing the 15th release, if they back out of that I´m going to be slightly annoyed, haha!

Is it just supposed to be a restocking of Pit or more of the other figures as well? Definitely going to stop after work when I get off Thursday morning for this one.

I'm gonna try my best to show up at Target when they open and hit some others afterwards. If I can somehow manage to get a spare or two, I'll be sure to let you know. You're doing some good stuff in this thread for others (and offering to still) and I think people should be able to get their favorites. I'll try to do the same with Shulk.

I'm not super interested in the Pokémon amiibo just because there's so much other Pokémon merchandise available, and I already have several plushies and figurines and whatnot. If some future Pokémon games incorporate amiibo in a big way then I might reconsider.

This is how I feel also.You can go into most toy or comic shops and find Charizard, Pikachu or Lucario merch. I'm also pretty disappointed with how the Pokémon amiibo actually look in general too. I think Pikachu looks a little off; his features too far apart maybe? He has a simple design but he's sometimes hard to replicate. Lucario looks a bit weird also. I just hope Jigglypuff looks good since I'm definitely planning on picking one up <3

And wow at the wave 3 pics. They must be EU amiibo from the PEGI ratings on Captain Toad there. That means they're arriving...they're on British soil...I must have them!

I think I'm definitely adding Rosalina to my "pull list", and now Bowser too since he looks great close up there. I wonder if the street dates will be all over the place again, I pick mine up in-store so I hope I don't miss the ones I'm after...

Thanks. I'll pay for it and shipping. I plan on getting any extras I can too of the exclusives if I can. And I'll give those out free in this thread. I appreciate you being kind and for doing this for me. Because I really do want these two specifically. More then anyone. Makes me happy to know I have friends looking out for me :D
 
Is there a list of dates that's updated somewhere? A shared Google Doc perhaps? A wiki? I can't find anything other than "February." Target's conveniently on my way home from work and I'd like to get a Rosalina but I know I'd have to go day-off.

No one knows yet. A lot of sites like GameStop say Feb 1st. But Nintendo hasn't said jack. So we are all just guessing off the dates listed. If it is the first, then it's a Sunday.

I was planning on possibly getting a spare Rosalina for a friend (I gotta see if he still wants it), but I can check in my area as well for her & Shulk since my GS & Target are right across from each other & considering how you've been very generous in giving away a ton of amiibo & as someone who lost my mother on my 20th birthday in 2011 due to cancer, I'd be more than happy to try & help out as well for all you've done.
 
So either TRU screwed up or scalpers struck. I went two days ago and they had 15-20 Captain Falcons. But today they had zero; all of the pegs were empty.

I feel like TRU pulled them, honestly. There was only three Luigi last time but like three pegs full of them. Makes me think they took the Falcons in when they put the Luigi's out and plan on releasing the Falcons again with Pit on Thursday.

I will also be on the lookout for you. You definitely deserve the effort at least.

Wow thank you so much. In the off chance I do get one for myself and you bought an extra with me in mind, I'll pay for it anyways and give it out fee in this thread. Im sure you guys will know people in real life to sell to or give out. But point is, should anyone get an extra with me in mind, and if I already got one and you have no one to sell it to, I'll pay for it either way so you don't waste your money.

And ill give it out free in this community. So either way the extra will go to good use :)

Like I said, seeing how helpful you've been in this thread, it's the least I could do. At the very least I think fans should be able to get their favorites and since I have my Shulk pre-ordered I like to think I can get lucky with another one or two. Rosalina though has proven to already been a different story. Amiibros have to stick together.

No problem. If I do get any spares, I'd rather sell/give them to people who really want them & if I do sell it, be at a more reasonable price, not 3 to 5 times the original cost. & considering how some other people have been helpful as well (such as someone selling me Wii Fit Trainer for a very fair $22), it's the least I can do to repay the community with what I can afford with my limited budget due to college, gas, & such.
 
If anyone finds/gets any extra of the store exclusives, and can get one of each for me, I'm willing to pay for them, plus shipping and an extra $5 just for the heck of it <3

don't have time to go to any of the stores on release date since I can't get a day off work for the next month or so =/
 
Still really struggling with Little Mac here in the UK. My Amazon Order was cancelled on release and still have not managed to secure one!

Yeah Shulk is one of the 3 I REALLY want.

http://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/japa...ulk-super-smash-bros-series-ver-wii-u-en.html

He still seems to be available there for roughly 14 $/EUR, although it comes to 30+ with the fastest shipping option, never used that site before so I don't know how reliable they are.
 
Gurrry said:
people on /r/amiibo are saying their BH orders are getting cancelled..

anyone have a cancellation email yet?
Click to expand...

Not yet. I have two orders in.

I wonder if they are cancelling orders that put too many of one in there? I know some places will do that if you order more than 2 or 3 of the same thing. I hope so.

Got a temp light in. Waiting on my LED lights + strips to come in. Also the rest of Wave 1 and 2 will be here monday. They are already 40 min from my house, out to delivery tomorrow. I'm ready for Wave 3.

Will take a better pic after I get it all done. I also need to get my DLSR back from my GF place. So no more shitty phone pics.

I should empty my Detolf for Amiibos soon lol
Click to expand...

lol, I've never collected figurines before. Kind of strange to see a Detolf JUST for Amiibos. That said, it should look cooler once I get the lights in + the saircase holders, as well as when it gets filled out with rest of Wave 1 and 2 that will at my house monday. And then when we get all 11 + of Wave 3. Oh boy. Gonna look amazing.

I used to collect Kamen Riders, Transformers and stuff but I ended up having way too many so I stopped. I never really organized my Detolf.

Planning to sell off my other stuff slowly so eventually I'll put Nintendo/Amiibo/Pokemon stuff in there I guess.
 
Just pre-ordered Boswer, Rosalina and Toon Link. Kinda surprised that you can get Rosalina no problem over here (Austria). Looked over on ebay, saw the prices for US listings and EU listings. Worlds apart.

That will bring me to 8 thus far. Now i wait for Mega Man to be available for pre-order.
