I only have Bowser and Toon Link pre-ordered through Wally World. Anything else that is available I would take without hesitation!
Thanks for asking, Miche

If you see any extra Toon Link or Bowser..
I found it interesting that whilst Villager is (obviously) "sold out" at Nintendo UK's online store, you can still buy Smash Bros Wii U with a Villager amiibo for £59.99.

It's a bit plain, but goes well with the Zelda line.

On a side note, my credit card sent me an alert saying I have a transaction for 199.99 that I had to authorize, the Frys one, but Frys is saying I don't have an order with them. I really, really hope I don't get charged 200 with nothing shipped to me.
^^^, jbhifi cancelled. EBGames ran out of stock. Where else do we buy.

It really sucks ass having all the bullshit with preorders only for these to slip out weeks early.
I have some on amazon without estimated delivery dates, gamestop all say 2/1, and TRU has had my money for a month now through their eBay store.

You should double check. I was charged $199 while my order was trying to submit, frys didn't give an order confirmation. Then I tried again, same thing. I started completely over, added it to cart, and so on, and that went through and got a confirmation. All three $199 were pending but my my cc customer service said I'll only be charged the last one.
Man I'm broke! Can't even afford the games because of all these Amiibo!
Saw a billion Bowser and Toon Link in Toys R Us, but nothing in Target or Gamestop. Are we still playing the street date juggle right now? It's getting confusing to know what comes out when (and where, it seems).
I wanna pick up Toon Link and Sonic this waveworried they might be rare but it seems that's not the case with Toon Link right now.

So Cal best buys stocking up on Pit. Canceled my Gamestop Preorder. I'd check out r/Amiibo for info on locations and such.

Yup. The guy was just opening the boxes about 1 hour ago (the boxes in the back of him are all wave 3 amiibo). Lucarios are street dated and was not able to be sold though.

I never got an order confirmation from Fry's. And when I go to the website to view current orders, nothing comes up. I got an email from my cc though saying I had to authorize a transaction for 199.99, the email was sent like 5 minutes after I tried to buy it.

Got a Toon Link at my local Toys R Us in Michigan. One of the stores said they couldn't sell them, the other had them all on the shelf. Saw Toon Link and Bowser, Sheik had already sold out and Lucario was being held in the back. Hoping I can find a Sheik at my local Meijer or Gamestop as they start appearing in other stores.

Thank you very much! Looks solid enough that I think I'll pick Sheik up (provided I can find one).

Just got my cancellation confirmation from B&H, and I ordered the second that checkout became available. 
I heard rumblings of Wave 4 pre-orders going up, did any show up in the US?

Alpine Toys R Us didn't put any of them out, said they might tomorrow. 28th St. Toys R Us still had Bowser and Toon Link on the shelf, tons of them.

Called mine about an hour ago. Said they were sold out of Sheik, had a few Toon Link, and tons of Bowser.

For real if it was Alpine or 28th I'll go lol.
Of course! I'll see what I can find tomorrow and let you guys know. I may have an extra Sheik because I picked up the only one I saw today. I have one on pre-order through Amazon, but until I have it in hand I'm not sure this one is an extra or not ;_;
Thanks! Those two are the closest stores to me. If they were putting out Lucario I would be there tomorrow, but like you said it might be best to wait and see if Meijer gets Sheik eventually. Got lucky there in the past with a few of the rares.

I was at 28th earlier and they were like nah. Hopefully they still have some tomorrow.
I'll check out Grandville,Ghetto, and Alpine Meijers too to see what's up.
Let me clarify on Ghetto Meijer. I mean 28th and Kzoo
Just got back from the TRU that Joei originally reported on with a Toon Link and a Bowser. Those were the only Wave 3 ones they had, which is fine because that's all I wanted (though I might've caved on Sheik given the chance, but I haven't been impressed with photos).
I'm now up to 3 amiibos. Someone call me when they announce Ganondorf and Olimar.

I've found almost all of my rares at Meijer. I usually check Greenville and Cedar Springs.
What time were you at 28th? My wife was there around 4:30 and there were a ton of Bowser and Toon Link. Apparently by that time Sheik was already sold out. Unless I'm mixing it up and she told me Alpine was the one that had them on the shelf.
Also, the Alpine Meijer is basically ghetto too =)
The date in TRU computers is Jan. 30, so start calling or heading up to the nearest store then.

1/30 according to my TRU's computer.

Why does my place of employment suck so bad and are like BOWSER IS THE 6th we swear and others are later.
I will make a trip to Grand Haven and Allendale Meijers this weekend. I will keep both of you informed.
Also yeah I've been so lucky with Meijer. Got Pit and Captain Falcon there without preorders. Also saw Villager and WFT there for a while back in early December, but was too stupid to pick them up.

Would really like to see PDP or Hori to produce some individual display cases for these, similar to the DI ones. [Sorry for the huge pic]
Are these just boxes? Would they technically work for amiibos too, or are the bases incompatible?Would really like to see PDP or Hori to produce some individual display cases for these, similar to the DI ones. [Sorry for the huge pic]

Kirby's pretty easy to find actually. I even picked up a 2nd one so I could have it as a desk ornament to go with my Kirby Backgrounds on my computer.

I have Toon Link, Bowser, and Sheik all on reserve at Gamestop, but I really want them now! I know it's annoying to Gamestop employees to get reservations cancelled. Torn.
