Yup...
I have TRU.com orders but I had a few backup in store orders and all got sold...
Anyone else had TRU preorders sold?
a couple of my amiibos have become part of a great display:
Whoa that is awesome! The amiibo you chose are definitely more size appropriate.
That poor Goomba has no clue his brains are going to get smashed.

I'm also going to add in that Toon Link's is the best of the two.

That's freaking nuts! was it all in-store pick up? I just get orders sent to my house and I have yet to lose an order that way. I think it may be the safest way of doing things when it comes to amiibo.
Well if that doesn't put fear in me I don't know what will. I thought I was secure with my preorders so I was like "oh that's nice Bowser, T Link, and Sheik are out. No need to stop, I have them preordered." DUN DUN DUUUNNN
No luckily I have a set ready to be shipped to home but I had an extra Lucario for preorder in store as well as toon link and sheik but they all got sold... guy just said he was sorry... nothing they could do now...

Haha. Yeah, that's what I like about them: the scale.
Yeah, definitely. Have you seen the YOSHI that's coming out soon!?
That really sucks yo, sorry to hear that :[Oi... this is getting ridiculous I went to TRU last night employee said oh we aren't putting them out find out today oh yeah were selling those... I've had TRU.com orders for Months they got cancelled got them reinstated and people without preorders are just buying em off the shelf... man...

Just got my Pit from M1nion!
Thank you so much! Got all Amiibos from wave 1-2 now. I can live as a fulfilled man until wave 3 comes out!
Didn't even last a minute.
Wave 3 is already creeping out.

OH SHIT! No, I had no idea. That looks awesome. I love that he has the saddle attachment thingy for Mario/Luigi to pose riding him.
Thanks, Lucily I have a backup or from TRU to ship to home after there fiasco as well as another set from Gamestop... I'll be putting any extras that come out to AmiiboGaf of course.... So I'm not horribly worried as long as my lucario comes in... 0.o

Your only 34 post away from 300 lol I bet 95% of that was this thread wasn't it
100% here. Is that sad? Haha
The figuarts Yoshi should be $20-30, at $37 or so I say it's slightly overpriced. Looks good though.... Want

GameStop is legit safe as we were threatened to be severely reprimanded if we put anyone's orders up for sale without calling and/or waiting the 48 hours.

Lucario is in stock on amazon.co.uk, along with bowser, ike, toon link, and sheik. So these are all definitely released before 2/1.
sure wish we could just order these as easily in america, would be too easy. US amazon doesnt even have an expected date for these for fucks sake.

I think it's Figma. Link is Figma too. Usually $40-50
Not even over 500 of mine have been in these threads probably higher now...
EDIT: Yeah I did over 150 between the last 2 days lol.
Quoting this so other Europeans who might want to help can see. I'm not sure if I have the time/energy to fix that stuff right now, not until monday at least :/

Not actually that important
Got my Toon Link and Bowser and I'm floored at how fantastic they both look, they always looked good but you know, pics.
The texture detail on Link's tunic is great, as are the rounded paintbrushes on Bowser's shell.

no emails yet from gamestop about my preorders, its a scary feeling, it feels like my preorder purchase have disappeared even though i know i have to wait for them to be shipped. I hate this
Just left Toys R Us and had a long talk with one of the employees while I picked these up.
Lucario on 1/30, he told me to be there when they open. Apparently some asshole preordered 15 of them as soon as it went up for preorder.
Hey! Maybe he's one of those open one, keep fourteen sealed kind of collectors. You guys are so quick to judge!
Yep, the guy I spoke to said they just got them too, a month late. They were on the rack when I was there
Dammit, why did I click that link!
Now I'm debating on Nendoroid Toon Link or that Good Smile Skyward Sword Link...
The poses are really good. Just be aware the limbs might come off but it's not hard to put back on. If need be, you can use superglue but that shouldn't happen. All around still reaaaally good. Amiibo Samus for scale.

TRU has officially broken street date. Are selling Sheik (if available), Toon Link, and Bowser. They received an email today and ToysRUs officially Twitter says they are selling them. Worth a trip, guys.
Thanks big time!!! I just ran over and ordered mine. Makes my weekend..

Now they just need to break street date for Lucario so I can get my preorder early...

Thanks for the pic and the heads up.
My local Toys R Us, (Fayetteville NC) was selling Bowser and Toon link but he told me Sheik was still streetdated and he couldn't put them out
Official Toys R Us twitter only mentions Bowser and Toon Link also...

Having a friend check the toys r us by him.
Not gonna bother with the one here. About a Hour plus away and im not driving to only find a bowser or something.
Thanks for the heads up. Don't have to bother friends over there to check it.

Maybe it's a gaffer looking to sell 14 to us at cost+shipping.

Right but people are getting lucky with Sheik so I mentioned her too, just so people who might be looking for her.
I think it's time to remind folks that Lucina is also getting one of these. It's basically why I'm not concerned if I miss out on her amiibo... though Code Name STEAM still makes it desirable.
I came to the big city today, so I tried to find the new amiibos (I'm only missing Rosalina from that wave). It turns out some guy went to the store this morning and bough all the 50 amiibos they had received earlier.
Fucking scalpers. I hate them. I wish Nintendo will send more stock of all the amiibos and they lose their money.
