Ok, what just happened? Are they out now?! Are they spread over 3 release dates?! Are they all Feb 1st?!

One Toys R Us in Northeast Ohio broke the street date. Another Toys R Us' manager said they have the Wave 3 stock but aren't allowed to release it until Feb. 1. GameStop and Walmart have a crazy rollout plan for releasing a figure or three at a time each Friday throughout February.

[edit] TRUs in Wisconsin and Minnesota now allegedly have Wave 3 on shelves now, too.
 
You know what we should do now, right guys?

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.

As bad as TRU is, I give them credit for being the only ones who seemingly has their shipments in order and actually put stuff out.

1st: calm down
2nd: call all your local TRU for Wave 3
3rd: read from page 220 on

Some TRU have employees that don't know they're not supposed to put them out. They are spread out on release dates. Some are FEB 1st
 
Well my Toys R Us in Oregon doesn't have wave 3 nor knew when they come in. They seem reliable as in the past they held Mac, Luigi, and Zelda for me when they came out.

I don't have a local TRU unfortunately, and I normally would read through everything, but I was just checking in for a bit. I'll be largely absent until tomorrow noon because of a final exam. I'm just hoping Target and Best Buy stick to Feb 1st
 
There was a block on Lucario that they were breaking street date, but the manager pushed it through. Sheik was no problem

It's looking like they're street dated for Feb. 1 as well. But there's been some evidence that Meta Knight will be available at Best Buy on Jan. 30 ... which might just be a shipping date for online orders, who knows.

You get a Bowser, too? No problems?
 
That's it. My heart can't handle this (or this pain in my chest is from something else). Gonna go play Hyrule Warriors and just wait for EB Games to call me when to pick up my preorders.
 
Amazon.de shipped Rosalina and Lucario just know, and a Meta Knight I got from Japan was shipped also today. That solves the "exclusives", since there are no Targets here in PR, no way to preorder Meta at Best Buy and TRU was always out of preorder cards of Lucario. Paid for them a month ago anyway.

Now to check the Gamestop preorders when I get paid next week.
 
So talked to the guy at TRU and he's was able to sell Bowser, Toon Link, and Sheik but can't break street date for Lucario. Street date for it he said was January 28th.
 
Just called TRU out here, and they confirmed some wave 3 were in stock. Anyone want me to look out for anything in particular?

lol I'm not that stressed (seriously, don't stress that much man. Be healthy!)

But this is prob the last straw for me. This is so absurd at this point, can't even put into words at how ridiculous this all is. Enjoy Wave 3 EU. Must be nice not to deal with this bullshit. :D
 
Oh what the heck. Gonna quick swing by my Meijers before class since they happened to be the only place with the Captain Falcon amiibo from what I saw.
