Morning Gaffers! Did I miss anything good last night?
I won't be surprised if the MM N3DS XL went up somewhere last night at some ungodly hour, so lay it on me.

No nowinstock alerts, so if it did it was for a retailers not on their list. Sorry man. Keep your chin up. There will be more opportunities.
 
Going to ask this again, hoping someone can answer.
For those of you that ordered the MM New 3DS from frys yesterday, did you get charged yet? I was charged 257, yet I never even received a confirmed order from them.
 
those Pokken amiiboas are fake, they will have NFC cards (you can see the NFC area on the arcade pad revealed, and on screen there was a "No card" sentence too)
I'm on my way to pick up my pre ordered Ike amiibo today, btw!

Yes I was charged, and yes I have a confirmed order. The item status says "Back Ordered" though.

For what its worth, there are some legitimate new Pokemon figurines out. Saw them today in Gamestop.
 
So I went into TRU last night on the way home from picking up my dog because why not...there were none of the new wave out earlier, but after I saw the posts here, I figured I'd check again. I saw a bunch of Bowser and a few Toon Links (no Sheik) and saw a scalper with five amiibo. All Lucario.

The manager rang it up, told them not to sell. The guy panics and is begging her to sell. I casually say he's going to scalp them and essentially rip off the store. The scalper leers at me, the manager asks the guy to leave. No Lucario sold.

You are my hero! Gj man seriously. What a jerk, even begging to sell.

Well that's slightly comforting, worried about not getting an e-mail however. Can I check orders on the site?

I had a dream about getting a Pit and Rosalina last night but being sad Megaman was sold out.
I have a problem.
 
About to head out and hit up a few Toys R Us' to see what they have. I was so close to giving up and calling it quits but every time I see this thread it just makes me want to go out and get more.
 
She's here with ike as well.

Now I'm waiting for lucario and sheik but it seems amazon.fr lost them lol...
 
I'll give TRU 30 minutes after opening before I call.

Sometimes I'll get incompetent workers who answer my call and are too lazy to check their systems or new shipment to tell if they got anything new.
 
First amiibo hunt of today, carrefour near my home, they had everything besides meta, dedede and estela (rosalina). Seems europe doesnt like kirby franchise or something.
Got ike and bowser, next stop mediamarkt

Yep. From the main page:

MyFrys -> Your Account -> Login creds -> Order History

Shipments that contain amiibo's don't come on truck, they come through FedEx/UPS so just because they don't have them at open doesn't mean they won't get them today.

Awesome, haha. I bet he went to bitch somewhere online after his failed attempt. So annoying.

Haha you're just looking out for me eh? I should just leave my number with you to keep me posted. I think my boss will start to suspect I'm not ALWAYS working :]
 
Oh yeah, no toon link either. There were plenty of sheiks, lucarios, ikes and bowsers.
Just in the bus to get to mediamarkt. Hoping they hav the kirby characters, estela and toon link.
 
Anyone in the UK got a spare Rosalina? Can't see her online anywhere and Toys-R-Us' site won't allow me to stock check any local stores yet for the new wave
 
How do Toys R Us Preorders work? I preordered Lucaro in store, and my email is on file (Got a digital version of the receipt). Will I get an Email back from them telling me to pick it up?
 
Hello thread,

I know it's a close call but I have a Wii-Fit Trainer Amiibo reserved at Enfield Town Argos, on Cecil Road, I'm pretty sure anyone can role in and grab it with my reservation number.

If anyone local is hunting for it, quote me, asking for it.

Pretty sure they said they hold it until 4PM so there isn't much time left.

This made my day!

I understand your plight. There have been many times in the past where I missed out on some limited edition _______. It's always hard to sit there and listen to others raise a glass to each other and share their tales of materialistic victory. This community, as has been stated over and over, is awesome and looks out for one another. I'm just doing my part as a fellow amiibro. Plus, I work remotely out of my home office. No boss to look over my shoulder, and no time clock to punch. Sometimes it's good to be a salaried man.
 
You guys know Nintendo UK store is run by the same company as Zavvi? The Hut group? It's just Zavvi is worst cause they ship from the UK's channel island, so they pay cheaper taxes and such.

I'll be willing to source you some Amiibo from Nintendo UK store:
http://store.nintendo.co.uk/amiibo.list
And then send it off to the US for you, already did that for Niraj once =) Which ones do you need?

Quoting to say he sent me a Villager (and a few other, unexpected things) and he's awesome for it. Stand-up guy.

(Don't forget to let me know if there's any you're having trouble finding :P)

Snkfanatic knows me well ;D and will do thanks man =)

Also just gotten dispatch notice from Amazon.It for Rosalina and Luma =D that's wave 3(?)done then, will also keep an eye out for another Rosalina for Snkfanatic if she doesn't get restock well and becomes rare for NA.
 
Just webt to medianarkt. There absolutely no old amiibos on the shelve, only a lonely mario and diddy kong. Seems some scalper has made this his base. The new ones didnt enter today, but they guy is waiting for 4 figures each of 3rd wave dedede and meta.
Just reserves there a rosalina and toon link and im now going to the toys r us 18 minites from here.

Seems kirby characters are not arriving to spain.
 
Frys.com has Marth and Pit listed for in store pick up only :'(
If anyone in US is near a Fry's that has Marth I wouldn't be overly upset if you snag it and ship it to me!
 
Just got to work, apparently Bowser, Shiek and Toon Link for TRU are good to sell. But, that's it. Lucario is still 2/1.

The guy at the toys r us told me the 30th. He said they have 9 preorders of lucario and got 7 extras, but can't sell them until the 30th. I'll be there 9:30 AM on the 30th to hopefully be one of the first 7.

They had plenty of Bowser, a handful of toon link, zero sheik. 3 other people there right as they opened, all looking for sheik.
