I'm starting to appreciate how inconvenient it will be to get to a toys r us if I try to go amiibo hunting there.

I don't think I'm gonna bother. If Lucario turns out rare and I can't snipe one off the internet like I did falcon (Is he even an actual rare?) then I'll live without him or pay a fortune in a couple months.

eBay buyers in this context I would assume is buyers FOR eBay not from.

Well that makes more sense. You think they would announce something like that, would probably put a big dent in the scalp nation while stock is being replenished, and it would be good news to share.

That is, if it's actually true.

So if you, in the last few weeks, paid over $500 for waves 1 and 2, then only a week or so later, Nintendo stocked everyone up, wouldn't that make you feel fucked over?

Having paid $500 because you thought there'd be no other way to get them?

No, I wouldn't feel "fucked over". If that were to happen, no one would have made me buy at those prices. I am responsible for my own actions. Did Nintendo say they are never printing again? Did they say they are? I don't think they said much, so it would have been on me to make a decision, I would not have been F'd over. Now if Nintendo said they aren't ever restocking and I paid and exorbitant amount then supply was replenished then yeah, I would be miffed.

I just called Fry's and they say they have no record of a transaction, yet I called my credit card and they have a charge for 199$ authorized. :/ They said the next step is to just wait and see if Fry's actually charges my card and if they do, then recheck with them to see if I have an order, if not then I have to call my credit card company back and do a dispute. I have 100% trust in my credit card to get it straightened out and me not be charged for something I'm not getting, however, I don't want to be in this limbo of will I or won't I get a 3DS from Fry's cause what if I see a Target pre-order pop back up and I jump on that? I don't need two of these things :/

Hrm, can you look up your order on the website?

 

[ThisBeJason]

Hrm, can you look up your order on the website?

I know I was able to when I login and check order status

 

[pete_clarf]

Just wasted about an hour (though I needed to get out of the house).

No Wave 3 at either the Toys R Us in Council Bluffs, IA or Omaha, NE. I did see someone grab a Pikachu though, so that was kinda cool. I guess?

 

[HoTHiTTeR]

Picked up bowser and toon link at TRU in Sacramento.

 

[Joei]

Hrm, can you look up your order on the website?

The website has no order history, and the guy I spoke to on the phone said no order history. I'm guessing it'll fall off in a few days.

 

[EpicallyBald]

Picked up bowser and toon link at TRU in Sacramento.

Which one in Sacramento? Any left?

 

[TheBlackAdept]

Just picked up doubles of Toon Link and Bowser at Redwood City TRU. They have about 8 TL's and 12 Bowsers left. No Shiek tho

Any Lucario? Also if Redwood got them in i'm wondering about San Mateo now...

 

[The Finest Brew]

The website has no order history, and the guy I spoke to on the phone said no order history. I'm guessing it'll fall off in a few days.

Hrm. Check again in a bit. If not, I guess call them tomorrow or something. Maybe their system's only slowly updating? Cause I can access my order history just fine.

 

[Hatchtag]

Toys R Us in Moline, Illinois didn't have any wave 3s. It did have a Fox but I already have one. Plus the box was somewhat damaged and thus it didn't seem worth buying to trade or sell.

 

[c-murph]

How's this?

Yay! Thank you! My first real avatar!

It should go away in a day or two. I've had that happen to me a bunch. I get double-charged a lot for some reason. Seems to always happen at restaurants... but one of them just stays in processing for a couple of days before disappearing completely. Keep a close eye on it though!

 

[HoTHiTTeR]

Which one in Sacramento? Any left?

Roseville, actually. 7 Toon Link, 5 Bowser. Employee said Arden has them and Sheik too. If you go there, get two Sheik and I'll buy one off you.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Hola friends, just got home from work what's been shaking today?

 

[The_Dude]

Shelf in a local store. Fun fact: That was once the PSP/Vita shelf. You can still see some games on the far left.

Australia usually gets lumped in with Europe, why can't this be happening here?!

 

[SaviourMK2]

-claws at those pictures wanting a Villager-

Bowser, Toon Link and Sheik Amiibo got released early at Toys R Us.

 

[Interface23]

Bowser, Toon Link and Sheik Amiibo got released early at Toys R Us.

And no Batman that is not a joke.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Wow, that's big news! Also, thanks. Don't need those three, but wouldn't mind grabbing one in the future.

Just talked Arden store and put bowser and toon link on hold. Couldn't put sheik on hold since last one she has. Im heading over from Yuba city.

Released early at some Toys R Us... a few people even snagged a Lucario!

 

[jon_dojah]

Any Lucario? Also if Redwood got them in i'm wondering about San Mateo now...

Didnt see shelf labels for Shiek or Lucario like there were for TLink and Bowser but who's to say someone didnt buy them all before a clerk could put them out. There was no one in that department to ask if they even got them. I never called San Mateo back but TRU in Fremont said they didnt get any new amiibo when I checked an hour ago. I would give San Mateo a call since its so close to Redwood City.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

Given that I have nowinstock for the preorders, I think I can just go back to being more focused on my duties...

Or at least that's what I said before ._. If I did that, I would've missed out on the second Pit restock, and Little Mac. So I guess filling the gaps will make me happy and more happy.

So after Mario, what other series do you think will get amiibos?

Realistically I'm hoping we get a good Zelda series, but I'd go nuts for Fire Emblem and Earthbound.

Also: amiibos designed like the Smash 64 characters jaggy polygons and all. Yay or nay?

 

[O.v.e.rlord]

AZ Glebdale TRU has part of wave three. Sheik is out if stock. Ladies and gents I think we might have rare on our hands.

 

[doowrah]

I'd assume that'd be near impossible to do accurately. All the polygons attach at pinpoints

Eh, dang.

 

[Miche]

Yay! Thank you! My first real avatar!

Happy you like it! I sent you the link in a PM, which I think should remove the white border (I practiced with the avatar I'm using to make sure). Just copy/paste it into the link option when you update your avatar

 

[Weiss]

Ah, dang.

My other idea was voxel style 8-bit amiibos,which seems more plausible.

It'll be Starfox or Zelda to tie into the new games. I'm betting on Starfox.

 

[CH4OS]

So like I said a few pages back, I'm trading a NIB NA Pit for any of the Pikmin games.

I got a few offers and have a few questions. Are the gamecube and wii games exactly the same? Also do gamecube games work on the wiiu?

 

[Sponge]

It'll be Starfox or Zelda to tie into the new games. I'm betting on Starfox.

I'm betting Star Fox too. It'll be nice to get some figures from the Star Fox games. I kinda wish Tropical Freeze didn't miss the Amiibo train. I'd pay top dollar for a Cranky Kong Amiibo.

I'm guessing either star fox or zelda. Most likely star fox though since that game is supposedly coming out before zelda(even though we've seen more of zelda than star fox, kinda weird )

 

[zroid]

good news, EBGames.ca has an actual release date for the Shulk amiibo now

 

[Fandangox]

Gamestop.com has it for 2/13 >:c

 

[MagiusNecros]

I dun wanna pick up my Amiibo when I can play MH4U instead. >:I

 

[TheBlackAdept]

Bay Area peeps: San Mateo has plenty of Bowsers and might have Shiek and toon link left. But you might have to ask for them to look for them. Waiting on word for lucario

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Ugh, Glendale is way too far... I checked the Chandler store around 2 (and the TRU Express at AZ Mills, but they don't carry amiibos at all apparently), but they only had a fresh batch of Wave 1/2 commons out... Probably should have checked/called the Mesa store, but I really didn't want to go to another one. :\

the only thing I might not get is the CE Guide though I kind of want it.

So is wave 3 out on 1/30 or 2/1!?

IT'S OUT NOW, AND WHENEVER THE REST FEELS!! It's Madness!

That's my exact same list too. Have a 4 day weekend lined up just for the occasion

 

[Cocaloch]

What are you guys using to track when Pre-orders are up?

 

[zroid]

So is wave 3 out on 1/30 or 2/1!?

don't think it would be 2/1 since Nintendo always releases stuff on Fridays now. 1/30 seems legit.

Damn I knew I should have went to TRU after work...
