Those are European rosalinas though. You can tell because the leftmost rosalina says "Super Smash Bros Collection". The US version just says "Rosalina" on it. He won't make very much off of those.

Edit: beaten, and it's not John. Whoops

Yup and the European ones have Rosalina's name on the top right instead
 
For anyone in the UK with orders through ShopTo, I've just had notification that my preorder for Lucario has been processed and it should be on its way so it looks like they're going through.
 
A little worried if Wave 4 goes up during my test today... but... they'd never put preorders up on a Tuesday 9:00-11:00AM right?...

Oh damn. That box of hentai. The funny thing is, there's no confirmation of Rosalina bring discontinued. It's just speculation.
 
So did I Azula, and clicked buy it now as fast as I could and ended up with a Peach. Had to cancel. Hope there are no more false alarms

Checked on Reddit, guess it was a false alarm. Everyone got directed to Peach. The odd thing, looks like Amazon took off a couple of the general Amiibos from the page. So the exact time that the notification went off, they also pulled some amiibos.

I forgot to turn off my notifications, since I'm not collecting anymore. Fuckin text woke me up. lmao Was like MARTH for $12.99....

MARTH for 12.99

Okay back to sleep.
 
no worries for me, i mean i'm at work, i'd love to get more alerts at this time :P oh well, here's hoping it's a sign of a pending stock change of some kind, even if it's not more marth. we need the next wave.

Rosalina is the best character, don't even front.

Damn straight.

Tried to order a Zelda Amiibo of Tesco Direct yesterday, as they have it for a tenner. Turns out they don't accept the type of card I have, and that specific Amiibo isn't in stock anywhere for a reasonable price.

Bleh.
 
I've got a spare villager if anyone wants it. The Box is damaged so will post it unboxed. Will send it anywhere if anyone fancys it.

Only really want the cost of postage/Packaging plus a few extra quid to cover petrol costs to post it. (i'm based in the UK)

message me if interested.

The alarm was probably caused by the pulling if they redirected the removed Marth page to the new standard Amiibo Peach.
 
Looks like my Ike shipped! Though one time shopto sent that email, I never got it, but have higher hopes for this one.
 
Is there a best place to pre-order these from? I have a 6 year old that wants a Mega Man. I know he is not a store exclusive so is there one of the stores that seems to be most consistent with actually filling and shipping the order?

Amazon.ca and EBGames.ca have both been 100% fulfillment on my pre-orders for me here in Canada. Only cancellation I have had on amiibos was with ToysRUs.com, but that was for Lucario and it was a system glitch (they then reinstated it).

I am in the US and they Amazon and Gamestop don't seem to be taking pre-orders for any of the new ones.
 
ShopTo (UK) seems to be processing a different character every hour.

So far, the following have all been charged to my card:

Ike
Lucario
Sheikh
Bowser
Toon Link

Bowser and Toon Link were processed yesterday, where as the other three have gone through an hour apart today. Should have another one in half hour!

I'd be all over that if you were based in the US!

You're probably too late on Wave 3 pre-orders. You'll either have to hope that they open up more pre-orders or go camp out on release date for Mega Man.

If you don't mind paying almost double the price, you can order from Game.uk (Mega Man). They have just shipped my Rosalina and Lucario pre-orders to Canada (not sure what duties will be like yet, if any).

You could also use nowinstockfor pre-order notifications.

Thank you for the info. We will just keep an eye out and I will keep an amazon alert up. He is 6 and does not know about release dates and stuff. I will get it for retail. I really hate that this stuff is so out of control. Grown folks want their figures so it becomes a real pain to just get something simple for your kid.
 
Speaking of nowinstock.net, would it be wise to only set up preorder notifications for one of the Amiibos? Right now I'm set up for Gamestop+Amazon notifications for Lucina, and Amazon for Toad. I'm assuming here that all preorders for Wave 4 + Super Mario Line will go up together rather than individually. Is that how it was for prior waves?

I usually setup notifications for all of them just in case.

I also have an application I personally wrote that makes requests every 30 seconds to various sites and parses the HTML for any changes (IE: "out of stock" changed to "Pre order") then sends myself an email. It's not perfect because sometimes it gets anti-spam responses back, but it has helped me snatch a few pre-orders I needed.

I want a US Pit in box so bad, but will never pay scalp prices ever.

Feeling kind of guilty now.

Some day back in December I managed to get an online Gamestop order in for Pit. A couple days later I took a peek in a store right before seeing a movie, and lo and behold they had a great looking Pit in stock so I bought him without hesitation in case the online order had problems. I tried to cancel the Gamestop order afterwards so I wouldn't be taking an extra, but couldn't without calling customer service which wasn't worth my time. Originally I was just going to use my receipt and return the Gamestop Pit to the store where I bought the first one, but decided against it since it is such a rare character. Ultimately, I gave him to my best friend and roommate since he loves Smash, but it was a mistake since he doesn't really value Amiibos. (it is the only one he has) It is still in the box sitting in his room unused, though I wouldn't dare ask him to give it back since I would feel like a terrible friend. Should have tried to give it to one of you guys. :(

Mine were processed all at the same time.

Hey don't feel bad, that was a very cool act of generosity! If your friend ever wants to sell or trade though...
 
Ok, where are the wave 4 pre-orders for the U.S. yet? This is getting frustrating because I know how insane it's going to be when it drops.

Also - none of my wave 3 have shipped yet.
