Lol what? Well maybe because they are online only? Maybe Amazon will get them as well?!
Would love that.
Not entirely sure. Havent seen the page myself, just saw a new post on /r/amiibo about it on my way home.
When did this go up? Time to F5
EDIT: Shulk makes no sense, it's a GS exclusive in US. WTF
Here is Ness:

It's weird. The four exclusives that they have listed just have a generic IMAGE COMING SOON picture. Everything else looks legit, though... just can't order them yet.
I ordered a bunch of cheap Wii games from New Egg a few years ago. No issues at all. My brother-in-law orders from them a lot too. Seems like a possible alternative at some point. Definitely not putting any stock in them having any of the exclusives though.
They're all exclusives in the U.S. Maybe they're importing them? Or somehow have a reliable plan to resell them? It's weird, honestly.
Yeah it is. They have no picture on their page too. I think those are a mistake. Wouldn't make sense for Newegg to get a bunch of US exclusives. Unless they got a shipment from international. Which I guess is possible?
Anyways, F5 time lol
Also guys, I finally completed my collection of Wave 1 and 2 today! My Frys fox arrived in immaculate shape. Its pretty funny how Frys can do a better job at packaging things than Amazon can.
Here is the entire family!
Awesome. Time to celebrate. So happy for you. yay!

Hello AmiiboGAF/Amiibros/Amiigals! I have a very special treat for SEVEN lucky people so read below!
WHAT: An Amiibo Contest for SEVEN lucky winners!
WHO:
Fellow Amiibro, Hunchback, donated THREE very special Amiibo to give away!
(One Amiibo per winner).
EDIT: I am donating 3 from my personal sealed collection!
EDIT 2: newarrior is donating an Amiibo too! That's SEVEN now!
HOW:
1. Message me with the title: "7 Amiibo Contest!"
2. Tell me:
All the Amiibo you own:
All the Amiibo you need (pls leave out wave 3 or 4):
What will you do with the Amiibo you get (open, play, keep sealed, custom, etc)?
3. Are you willing to make a donation of any dollar amount to the non-profit Arthritis Foundation? (imagine being a gamer for life but you develop arthritis? not cool!)
( https://donate.arthritis.org/site/apps/ka/sd/donorcustom.asp?c=pkI2KfMUItF&b=8324237 )
4. In what city/state/country are you located?
WHEN: Contest ends @ 6:00 PM Pacific Time (9:00 PM Eastern Time) on Sunday, January 18th. I expect to receive and read through TONS of messages so please don't send me more messages after the contest is over! Do be on the lookout for messages from ME though, as I may have follow up questions.
Once the winners are chosen, you will be messaged back with "CONGRATULATIONS!" and I will mail the Amiibo to you COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE. Please respond within 72 hours with your mailing address, or else we may have to choose another winner.
WHY: More like why not! Whether GAF has given us friends, rivals, good times, or good deals, if you get the opportunity to give back, why not? Lastly, I will also post a picture of your Amiibo here after the winners are chosen! Good luck!

How did you get Pikachu and Mario out of the boxes so nicely? I tried that with my Pit. Terrible outcome.

Make sure to have a proper cutting tool for it. Was able to do it without damaging any of my boxes.

Okay, sorry for going off topic but I have to ask and this seems like the best place.
If I preorder Wave 4 amiibos from amazon using a credit card, then later put a gift card on it, will it like"reorder" it?
Sorry if I'm confusing, but I can't have it to where the cc is charged when shipped and I remember alot of people around the PS4 launch getting their PS4's on backorder or something because they later added gift card credit to it.
If they go up on Monday then I might need to cancel what I just ordered to be able to afford it before it ships. I don't know what to do.

Im gonna pull an Azula once we move and buy the Detolf and the little stair case.
Then painstakingly open them very carefully with an exacto blade, perserving their boxes, and display them for the world to see!
I used an exacto blade along the edges and bottom of the plastic and bent it upwards to take them out. The pikachu one is actually kind of fucked up (it was my first attempt), but the mario one looks much more clean. Theres a few videos on youtube that I watched as I did it which helped. But I think it just takes patience and practice to get it looking clean.
Wow, very awesome of you to do! I'll type something up, but best of luck to everyone here.
You should be able to update your order at any time without re-ordering it. If you have trouble, then customer support will easily help you out on that front. They have a very easy customer service to talk to.

Haha, this is so wonderful. This thread has become a source of happiness for me, I just love seeing everyone come together to help each other out, even if it just acquiring amiibos :3
Very generous of you. Not going to enter, simply because I have all of Wave 1 & 2. But also, I'm not short on money, so I would rather this go to someone that could really use it. That said, this is what I wanted for this community. I wanted it to grow, and be kind and loving and supportive.
So I'm so happy you are doing this. You guys are awesome. And this community keeps getting bigger and better each and every day. So proud.

Haha thanks! I hope thats the only typo! What I do without you all! hahah
Awesome! AmiiboGaf rocks!

I think as long as the order hasn't shipped or being prepared for shipment, you can go into Order Details and change payment method. I just ordered something from Amazon earlier today, but it's already being prepared for shipment, so I can't test and be sure. However, I know I've done this in the past... for my PS4, actually!

I definitely feel the same way. I'm really excited to read everyone's messages! I hope to do this again sometime.
I'm just doing the legwork, we really have Hunchback to thank for donating!

A lot of us here have you to thank as you lead by example and inspire such good will towards each other! I'm very happy too. Hope it puts a smile to someone's face when they find out what they're getting!
Entered! <3 Amiibogaf
By the way, is it three already chosen amiibos?
Wow, typing up my response for the contest made me realize if my Marth & Fox order goes through, I'm only missing 6 from wave 1 & 2 (Pikachu, Peach, Zelda, Pit, Villager, and Little Mac). & the first half aren't that hard to find.
Sucks my budget is shot now that college has started again (thank goodness parking meters will only cost about $2 per week instead of $4.50 & gas is 1/2 the price it was) and then next month is the New XL + Majora's Mask 3D. Doesn't help I missed 3 chances of donating plasma (so about $80) because last Friday, I had my wisdom teeth removed.

Yes indeed. I have them in hand. Took the picture of them. Can't wait to show everyone on Sunday.
Well thanks. But honestly, it was you guys being so nice and kind to me and accepting. I just really needed this community, and you guys stepped up. So it was a combination of you guys, and me being in a place where I really needed something to make me happy. So I'm just super proud of this community. I'll continue to do whatever I can to keep growing it.
But I can't do that without you guys. So I'm glad people are sharing, looking out for one another. Participating in the community avatars, the google doc, and just looking out for others that want to complete their collection.
Ah, this is great. I was originally just going to save the cardboard slips, but this is even better. Thanks!
You can add gift cards after placing an order without having to re-order. That's how I got my latest Infinity figures for practically nothing even though I pre-ordered them a month or so ago.
I bet it's the Amiibo Triforce of Villager, Marth, & Wii Fit Trainer!

Pre-ordered Bowser from Walmart site. Just need a DeDeDe and Rosalina.
Probably yeah.

I just did a test for you.
1) I "pre-ordered" Resident Evil: Revelations 2.
2) Went to Your Account -> Your Orders
3) I see a "Change Payment Method" button on my RE: R2 order.
I actually don't see GIFT CARD as a payment option. To test that part, I just happened to have an Amazon card from Christmas, so I applied it to my account, thinking I could now use it for RE: R2... I still don't see it.
I KNOW that I've done this before but, either the method has changed or they no longer allow you to apply a gift card to an order that has already been placed with a credit/debit card.
EDIT: I figured it out! I'll send you a PM rather than cluttering up this board even further!

Thank you for helping me bro. I would never been able to do this because of my disability. You have been enormously helpful.

Awesome! This community, man. I love it. All of you guys and gals rock.
On my Majora's Mask LE if I check my order details, there is an area where I can apply a gift card balance, so I think you'd use that
