I just picked up the last Toon Link at TRU in Arcadia, California. Sorry guys :-/

The girl working there told me Sheik sold out really fast and they sold a few Lucarios before the manager put a stop to it. There's plenty of Bowsers left, though!
 
Do you have a copy of it pre-whiteboxing? Might have a little magic to work

is what Miche gave me

It only seems to white box when I make it my Avatar
 
Update: San Mateo still has lots of Bowsers. Out of Shiek. Maybe a few toon links.

Won't sell Lucario. Preorders only (I had one) but manager wouldn't override the system. Good news for the other preorder person tho!

Side note: they got two lucario, just for preorders it seems. Not a lot of stock for store exclusives :(
 
Ok let me get this straight. Im down on vacation in San Antonio and wave 3 amiibos are being soldat TRU? God, I hope my Lucario pre-order is still there for me next week.

Aslo, I'm sure this is no surprise to anyone but my MTV order at B&H was canceled today. Looks like the hunt is back on (not that it was ever off).
 
Glad I got these pre-ordered. I finally saw 2 Wave 2 characters for the first time like a week or two ago. Granted I now live in a small town but I started thinking Wal Mart and the few Gamestops weren't going to get any Wave 2 in store. The only thing I hate about these pre-orders is it seems those that pre-order are the last to get them. Makes me extremely nervous.
 
Dang Futureshop finally ended up changing the dates on all my Amiibos, 6th for Toonlink and bowser, 28th for Metaknight and Megaman
 
So, I don't think Bowser will be rare at all.

He shouldn't be. Mario characters are pretty common and likely will continue to be so. Basically i'm expecting:
-Bowser, Toon Link and Shiek will be "commons"
-King Dedede, Mega Man and Sonic will be "uncommons"
-Ike be the lone "rare"

The TRU pic that was posted appeared to have 8 in it (7 on shelf, plus another reserved) and who knows how many before. Compound that on a store by store basis, and possibly more of them, and I'm expecting good amount of stock for most of the exclusives for the first week or so. That could change once we get a better understanding of how many stores will get in, but it's probably safe to say they'll be uncommon to rare as we go through February.

tl;dr- SOME TRU stores put out Wave 3 early, and only Bowser, Shiek and Toon Link (and Lucario) which seems to be a safe bet to finally confirm that Wave 3 will be broken into miniwaves.

Wave 3a= Store Exclusives (Jan 30/Feb 1)
Wave 3b= Bowser, Shiek, Toon Link (Feb 6)
Wave 3c =Sonic (Feb 13)
Wave 3d = Ike, Mega Man, Dedede (Feb 20)

Although seems like those dates are varying by retailer. Perhaps done to spread the wealth around so people buy from different ones to avoid stock problems.

You must have beaten me by an hour. I just left there and they were sold out.

Sorry man, I was probably there around 7:45 or so. Some skinny teenager was hoarding a few Toon Links and walking around the store looking shady. The girl at the register was really helpful though, letting me know about the stock and how quickly they were selling.

TRU isn't supposed to be broke up, they're all 2/1.
 
Checked out my Gamestop a few hours ago, nothing. Just Wave 1 and 2 commons. I would have loved to see a Toon Link (only 1 I don't have pre-ordered) or a Bowser/Sheik (pre-ordered at Amazon so I can't see them before they ship) but oh well.

Bring on Feb. 1
 
Had already called Arden and put on hold. Just picked up toon link and bowser. Got an extra bowser for my desk. Probably the best looking amiibo right now. Electronics employee said they do have lucario in back, just can't sell yet

A lot heavier than the all the other amiibos, imo. (Bowser)

Only two Lucario for pre-orders... so none for walk-ins? Is it too late to pre-order instore?

My guess is it is too late for walk ins, yeah. They seem to have gotten their shipment already :/

Edit: yes, they have their Lucario shipment in, and I doubt they'll have more if you try to preorder now, but who knows.
 
Just talked to someone at GS and mentioned how the Miibos are street dated for Feb 1st (indicating that TRU broke it), but didn't GS have an email saying that the street dates had lifted? Well, just for the commons since I read how Lucario wasn't allowed to be sold at all.
 
So, if you didn't have a preorder you have a CHANCE at TRU if they didn't sell their allotment already. We're supposed to pull all wave 3 not just preorders and from what I can tell we're getting full cases, 16, of each figure so far. My store had 13 Lucario preorders and every other figure around 5 except DeDeDe at 7. Can't say preorder numbers are typical but trying to help.
