I'm out besides my preorders and if I can get Preorders on Wave 4 because

Well Shit....

Edit: I'm starting to think Best Buy got my Meta Knight Amiibo and secretly sold them all... this is super messed up
 
Ffffffuuuuuuuu....

From what I gather, my local TRU is pretty good about not selling preorders so if they have gotten Lucario in and I could pick it up, I think I would have gotten a call or an email. Maybe I'll give them a call in a few just to be sure.

Also, something occurred to me. Between the cancelled and reinstated order, the eBay order I placed and the in-store preorder I had my wife do, I might end up with three Lucario. Hopefully at least *one* ends up in my hot little hands.
 
also my District Manager said those are legit estimates in the Gamestop Email and Wave 3 could come any day in shipment that they feel like from Today to the 20th

Yeaaaah, figured that new "no street date" thing would rear its head sooner or later. This is going to get really ugly. Don't blame the folks ducking out.
 
Yeah Joei, buy all the Lucarios we will pay you to ship to us :)

Hell those of us without wave 3 preorders like myself need all of them!
 
All good Azula. Take it easy, I will let you know when I get my Wave 3 then I'll send you one each :)

Nooooo.

It's okay. I'm okay IRL. It's okay guys lol not having a real melt down. MORE so, I'm just beyond frustrated with NoA at this point. I mean, if these were all out on Feb 1st, we could plan accordingly. Go out, get them. If they are planning on staggering these week by week, that pretty much ties us to the screens waiting and waiting and waiting.

Hell, my Japan trip is Feb 15h. Gah, this shit is ridiculous.

EDIT: just really considering getting out of this. This is really really stupid. Beyond stupid. Especially when they are out everywhere for EU. And supposedly, some random TRU have them (yet they claim they couldn't get them till late Feb). Ugh. Ugh.
 
So it's just TRU at the moment?

Wonder if I could ask my GS to contact me either via phone or e-mail when they get a shipment of whatever amiibo they have.
 
Email from gameseek re my Rosalina order enquiry.

Good afternoon.

Unfortunately demand has come as a surprise for Nintendo and the demands have been too high, much higher than Nintendo thought. Here at GameSeek we got suspicious that this would happen so we took the buy button away relatively early. Nintendo haven’t got enough stock and we don’t have a set date as to when it will be dispatched.

we apologies for any inconvience caused at this moment.

Surely that means they don't have ANY stock? I'm resigned to never getting it from them though :(
 
Called my local TRU (two stores), both said that they come out on the 1st. That they have all of Wave 3 in stock...but have to wait till the 1st to put them out on shelves. Two TRU said this.

So what is this non-sense about Wave 3 only being out Feb 13th and the 20th. What the fuck GS/Target/

smh

The guy that ran the department, seemed to know what he was talking about (knew a lot about Amiibos).
 
I haven't hit my local stores in a few weeks. I'm gonna pop off work early and hit Target and TRU looking for the few WoN figures I don't have and will take a peek for amiiboos.

I got kind of the opposite when I called my nearest one so I didn't have to go make the wasteful drive over.

The lady told me a few people have called and they do not have any of those waves in stock today. They do have shipments with different dates and she was sure those are the amiibo's. So who knows. Still making the trips on the first to at least try and get exclusives. NoA pls. ;(
 
Gamestop and TRU are shitty companies. More news at 11.

Seriously, they suck. TRU especially. As someone who worked there for a holiday season only a few years ago, their infrastructure absolutely SUCKS.
