Can anyone buy one Pit from GameStop Online for Masked Man? I can't really purchase it because it denied my request.

Maybe I'm biased but...
Rosalina looks the best so far out of the Amiibos.
I'd say she's the best realistic human looking amiibo. Some of the more simplistic designs like Yoshi look better overall

I think it's gone and that is just how the site is notifying buyers. Same happened to me.

If your Powerup Card is on your account, it'd show you've bought those characters before, thus not letting you get another through the website, even if you've bought the others in store.
Unless of course you didn't buy a Pit in store, then yeah it's probably out
Bought Pit as an extra for someone in the community that needed it. I'm already sending him Villager. So if he can wait for Pit to come in, I can just ship both out at the same time.
Let me know what he says?
If so, then the Pit I just got is his 100% free.
That's exactly what happened to my first Captain Falcon.Yeah it's pretty noticeable

I'll hold onto my Pit for now. There's some damage to the top right of the box, but it's just a crease. If anyone can't get a Pit through this Gamestop nonsense, let me know and I'll sell it reasonably.
Not sure if this thread or GAF is the right place for that, but just throwing out the offer if someone desperately needs/wants Pit. He's low on my wish list, so I'm not too sore on losing the guy.

Nah, I'm Pit-less! He's the one that I want the most out of what is out right now. On par with Rosalina.

Thank you very much. I really appreciate that.
Well, I think it denied me because I already purchased Pit Amiibo from them in the past. Someone else had similar problem, I guess? *shrugs*

Sorry to hear that =/ I have an extra Pit, been waiting to trade it for a Villager or Marth if you have one.
Same goes to anyone else that knows of or uses the trade thread.

Dang it, got there a second after it sold out. It was in my cart and everything. Little Mac staying elusive for the THIRD time
Edit: FOURTH. I forgot the time my Gfs mom had one for me but Best Buy Canada was like "we can't sell this to you before the street date" and she went back the next morning before open and all the Amiibo were sold out.

So I just completed my Pit order on GameStop 5 minutes ago, paid via PayPal, and it appears to have gone through. Also got the confirmation email from GameStop. Does this mean I'm in the clear?

it's telling me he's still available in stock

I do have a Villager but I suppose it's smarter to hold off trading him than it is to do what I would want to, haha.
Also what the hell is with this tracker website, I get it wants to notify me but it beeps every minute to let me know that bloody Diddy Kong and Mario are back in-stock.

Hope so as I did the same earlier, was completely smooth in ordering so hoping that I'm in the clear as well.
The only other Amiibo I've bought at GS were Pikachu, Fox and Luigi, but those were Day 1 and in-store.
Beat me to it, I just got the email notice. Looks like they raised the price a bit though.

Don't count on it until you have it in your hands. GS.com screwed me hard with Mac by claiming a defective shipment after stating they were just waiting for UPS to pick up my order
Masked Man
I said wow
Gah you two are too sweet! :3 I managed to snag a Pit over here, so Villager is the only one I'm missing from Wave 1/2. Thank you so much for thinking of me and being so generous! <3 <3 <3

I dunno how you slipped through, I've been trying and retrying since 8:15ish hahaha

GameStop still taking preorders for Pit? Are we going to be faced with a ton of cancellations?
We can dream.

I hope you don't get cancelled on guys, I think it was a freak accident I did as I've never had issues with GS.com before
ShinRPGamer

It's all right. Now I'm wondering why Amazon cancelled my Pit order only to get it in stock around the time they said they would ship it to me (2-4 weeks)? It's just so stupid.

I guess that just leaves me with Captain falcon before I 9 move to wave 3 and 4

Amiibos are region free. No need to worry about that when importing.

Got my Pit through GameStop, order worked.
Oh, and Amiibos are not region locked.
Oh, and Amiibos are not region locked.
Nope, all amiibo will work on whatever region. Just the packaging will be different.

Amiibo are Region free and yea JP Post is fine, it'll just come USPS or Canada Post or Royal Mail depending on where you live.
Guys, I'm out at dinner with my gf and she just asked me if I want to get married. I said of couseb I wanted us to. I'm waiting outside for her. Wtf do I do. Do I still propose in Japan? Or just not worry about surprising anymore. Didn't expect this. Progressive women of 2015
Edit: I keep quiet about what it planned right? Just brush the subject off?
Eek!

Eek!
Personally I'd still keep it as a surprise. I mean it's a big step in a relationship and I'd like it to be special not just a "Well might as well, I was planning on it anyways" kind of thing. Either way gl!
Congrats. Off-Topic GAF ought to help ya.
Masked Man
I said wow
AHHHHHHHHH EXCITE!
I wouldn't give up on the proposal just yet: the sentiment behind the gesture is what counts, and I'm sure it will really make her feel even more special if you create a little moment like that just for her.Propose with a Amiibo holding the ring of course, especially if you have a sonic.

I'd say keep quiet. Doing it now might come off as a kneejerk reaction. Regardless, I wish you luck with whatever you do.
Maybe I'm biased but...
Rosalina looks the best so far out of the Amiibos.
To be honest, I'm surprised that Rosalina & Luma had turned out the best out of the human-proportioned characters in the Amiibo line. Also, how can you hate aliens that look like star-shaped fluffy pillows?
