Amiibo Discussion Thread 2: I Got 99 Pre-orders But A Rosalina Ain't One

None in stock in US, just as a heads-up to anyone else seeing this. If you're Canadian get on that while you can.
Believe me if I was I wouldn't be trying so hard to find them, wouldn't be refreshing Target over 5 sleepless nights for Rosalina preorders, wouldn't have gamestop, target.com, bb, tru, frys, fye, walmart pages open refreshing amiibo search pages, would know when these stupid dates were and wouldn't be posting 99% as much because I wouldn't be so worried.
That sounds exhausting. I just refresh this thread forever and lie to myself that I'll be able to get everything on Feb 1st.
It's not denial till I'm wrong
Well it looks like we technically got that today. TRUs that have set out Wave 3 stuff also seem to all have a handful of Falcons, so you might want to go check out the store near you tonight.

What the hell my TRU would not even sell me Bowser....now I find out corporate is letting then sell them. Ugh what a dbag.
It has been exhausting sir. Very... but its all good will feel good when I have them all.
I love you so much for this. Gonna go grab some Gamecube controllers from EB Games if this ships. Also going to do that $100 towards n3DSXL while I'm at it.

I won't be able to check one until next Friday.
Although Amiibos aren't hot in my town, so there may be luck.

PM'd you
Only Link and Toon Link give the spinner. Sheik and Zelda give other high-level items.
Are you only missing Rosalina?
I stopped by my local Toys'R'Us on my way home from work just to see if they had anything after reading this thread earlier in the day. At first I didn't see anything, but then I was able to spot 2 new faces! This is what it looked like:
I decided to try to buy them (I was denied 3 days in a row leading up to the wave 1 release at Walmart) and I was able to pay for them! I also found a lone Captain Falcon hanging out. The box is beat to hell, but whatevs, haha
^ Those are the NA versions? Whaaaa

What's the word for Wave 3 release and Wave 4/Mario Series preorders for North America?

Currently as far as preorders go yes that is all
Don't you have a Amazon France order in? Did you cancel it?
I know you're looking for a American packaging though.
edit: at work stealth post. not time to proof read
Oh god, this is EXACTLY what I would want to display them. Even cooler, he seems to be doing them in roster order.Whoa I want a display case like this:

Would be neat if Nintendo made something like this but smaller & maybe plastic & they could be themed for Mario, Zelda, Kirby, etc.

Well, turns out I have 3 targets within 20 min of my house, so if I'm lucky enough to find one, I'll send it your way.
It's gonna be a wild morning, hitting 3 Targets before 10, then Best Buy, then both GS's. Oddly excited

Apparently some people are finding Wave 3 at their TRU. Nothing on Wave 4 pre-orders though.

Pikachu gave me an electric spinner.
I think that is because I unlocked it first using Link.

Same. Didn't know that was a thing before I did it, lol.
Oh don't worry about that I live in Memphis, TN we have 5 targets in a 25 mile radius. The only reason I'm going out on the 1st is for her and buying extras for amiibo gaf the shopping center (5 minutes from my house) has a target, BB, TRU, and Gamestop all in the same parking lot lol.

Well in that case...I picked one up. I didn't like paying the extra TRU charges, but whatever.
I'm kinda tempted to drive there, but it's almost prime time for traffic.

The guy I talked to had literally just finished stocking them 15 minutes ago if that mean anything to you.

Location? Come on people's....
Anyways. I called my gamestop (in the Bay Area) where I ordered wave 3 Amiibo online for in-store pick up and here's some info that hopefully will be helpful:
- after giving my phone number, they are showing my order in the system
- I can prepay in full if I go to the store
- If I don't prepay in full, they're charge me for it once it arrives
- The scattered release dates are correct as he told me them before I even asked
- I may get a call when my preorders arrive but I should call myself on the release day
- I probably won't get an email when my preorders arrive
Hope I didn't leave anything out.

ONE OF US!
LOL this avatar quote is cracking me up.
Really shitty. Talked to the guy stocking at my TRU and they said they don't allow this and they have to turn down multiple offers to do so every day.
I'm 15 miles away and the traffic is about to get bad because this is usually the time people are coming home until 7 PM.
My wallet is telling me no, but MY MIND.....MY MIND IS KINDA TELLING ME YEEEESSSS
ONE OF US!
I love yu yu Hakusho too! this is a great one.
Too funny.
I got 2 tru near by to go too I think I'll just drop in after work and see what happens...

Target near me didn't have any Wave 3 yet.
The Lucario street date is listed as 1/30 according to the manager who overrode my transaction.

FWIW, I didn't go until around 230 pm and that's when they were stocking them. So had I decided to stop when they opened they may have very well had none out at the time.

I asked the lady in the electronics "are these all of the ones you have" her response to that exact question was "I sold all of the lucarios toon links sheiks and bowsers to a gentleman earlier". Another person asked me if my visit was alright on my way out and I laughed and said no. He asked why. I told him how the lady said she sold them all. He said no she couldnt have, they dont release until the 27th.

As in "Heathcliff"
Can I make a request for anyone? Can anyone pick up extra Rosalina for me just in case if I failed to get my hand on it. I'm going to be there at early morning but I don't trust my Target tho.

Yay, I got all 6 today. 
And the other five are ordered, so I'm good for now till the next wave can be ordered. Payed only 12 euro for each. Feels good. Want to post a picture, but it's the same like everyone else who has those six.

This is where I am too. I have all of wave 3 preordered besides Rosie (or at least I'm pretty sure). I don't order from other countries so I guess I have a if I can get them locally, I'll get them mentality. If not, well, I'm already missing Little Mac, Villager, & WFT to name a few so I guess I'll live without them.

Ive got extras of everything ordered in case any arrive broken like the last three. Only thing I couldnt get my hands on is Rosalina. After I get rosalina Im either giving the extras away or selling at cost. I have zero confidence that I will get rosalina for a few reasons. Tru already broke street date, I know target has done it before and if they do im boned. The resellers here must be in good with the stockers. And i know there are resellers who work at target.
