Anybody have the list of SKUs or whatever for Target & TRU for the inventory tracker? I have Wave 1 & 2 numbers but not wave 3

FFFF I WANT THAT PKMN TRAINER ONE
and I've been away for two days.
I'm guessing US has some places breaking street date, from what I'm skimming through?
Also, Azula, how's the proposal planning going?

Try calling TRU and ask if you can give them the SKU and they look up the inventory.

Azula has sadly left us only to visit occasionally
When did this happen!?!

I ordered RShulk, Toon Link and Sonic from them.
Then those options straight up disappeared on the amiibo page a few days later (I ordered 28 Nov), haven't seen them since. Just checked my account now; still processing.

Short answer from what I can tell (someone else can expand): Nintendo and their business practices regarding the amiibo shitstorm.

A few pages back. Don't like to speculate, but I anticipate him coming back again.

Lonnie any luck with store 8010?
Sorry, having to actually work. Give me a tick
I was curious to see how Nintendo's customer support would reply to an email asking them about Amiibo availability in the future, so I just sent them an email.
Basically I explained them the situation with scalpers and how frustrating it's to me as a customer, so I asked if they are planning to provide the retailers with more stock in the future.
Let's see what they reply... I'll let you know if it's something interesting, but I bet it will be something in the vein of "We don't know at the moment, stay tuned".

I don't get it. I though orders would be more secure with them being the Hut group, the Nintendo UK store vendor but it looks like they've been told to prio Nintendo store orders.
Called Fremont again this morning. Lady said they havent got any new amiibos. So far it seems Sunnyvale, Redwood City and San Mateo are the hotspots for getting amiibos first in bay area.

Any ideas as to when wave 4 preorders will be up on amazon? I want my Wario.

Man I thought we talked about that couple of days ago when he got upset and the next day he said the he was sorry and was back to normal. So did he leave again?
Who know's at this point. It just doesn't make sense not to even have them up.

No idea I'm still waiting for dates from them on my wave 3 orders

After a long, awful day of getting stuck in traffic, being very lightly hit in a pile up, stressfully busy science-ing, and a weird screaming man outside the lab, I swung into the Smyths on the way home, and came away with a Rosalina and Sheik!
Very chuffed, and now I'm going to relax with a gin and tonic, and enjoy chips for dinner.
If anyone near Maidstone/Aylesford/West Malling fancies anything, the Smyths off junction 5 of the M20 has at least a dozen of all of wave 3.

I think it's more telling that searching 'amiibo' on their site right now the only amiibo is the Mario bundled with MP10.
Everything else is N3DS bundles, MK8 and Smash.

Is there any TRU inventory tracker?
Thanks for the heads up. Going there now with a coworker.
Got my six wave threes today, a bit of a downer though that It looks like I have missed out on wave 4 UK preorders? I managed to get Wario and Charizard but not the other 4, I'm a bit worried I'll miss out when they go up on Amazon and have to hunt them down or pay over the odds...

Any sign of Wave 3 Amiibos in Canada yet?
This is reaching critical levels of frustration...
I hold Nintendo just as responsible for this bullshit as I do the scalpers who buy all the amiibos and the retailers who irresponsibly allow people to buy 50 of them at once. The fact that Nintendo of America has been completely silent about this entire situation shows either they do not give a fuck or are too stupid to figure out a good solution.
I'm going to with the former given that we're still getting random release dates for waves, unannounced preorders, lack of certainty of availability, the existence of retailer-exclusive amiibos, etc. It's fucking disgraceful and incredibly disheartening. It makes me not want to support Nintendo as a company any more, to be honest.
They NEED to do something about this, or at least come out and say they're trying. Inaction is doing nothing but hurting my view of them and I'm sure I'm not alone. :/ This isn't worth the trouble it's causing.

I think it's good idea to drop it and leave him alone. I don't like to see people dragging his name in the mud. I hope to get the Idioms correctly.
OMG! That pokemon trainer!! ^_^ Is he on sale on Amazon too?
Why are you guys doing this to me!
EDIT: Aggh! Just saw Red is over $150 on amazon! Why is he so much compared to others?

Yes let's him rest and take a break from the madness

Trust me, I been very vocal about how NoA pretty much supports scalpers with how they do things. There is little reason why they didn't produce the same amount of inventory for each character at least during first production.
They were, but looking at it seems only third-party sells them now. Selling for $120 now, WTF scalpers?

Agreed. No sense in discussing it. He seems happy and that's all that matters.
Side note, if I wanted to buy a eShop gift card from GameStop online, could they email me the code?

I'm not calling him out or anything. I'm worried if something happened or not. The guy is awesome and he's done a lot for this thread and the amiibo community.

Scalpers help Nintendo because they buy all the products which is $$$ for Nintendo. Also, by buying them all, it becomes rare, then itll make headlines and make Nintendo products more valuable and sought after.

Yeah, uh, about that...you probably won't be able to get one now. Except for Luigi, I was told they didn't even get enough of the others to fulfill all preorders at Gameplanet last weekend and they were told to not expect wave 3 until the end of March...
I doubt it. He has a good job, a gf, and a trip to Japan to plan. I'm surprised he ever had time for this thread. Though, I do hope he comes back some day

See, his MSRP was $50 when I bought him. I checked Pokémon Center and they seem to not have it in stock anymore. Seriously, I bought him on December 25th. I guess scalpers man!
Yeah, he was easy to buy in early January. I didn't realize scalpers bought up most of the stock.

Except that Nendoroid Red is EXPENSIVE. Was aware that it was so sought after. Would have picked up the re-release at Christmas for my son instead of the Link (who's easily available at a decent price).
Actually, that's more of an accurate after market value. When it came out in Japan, the cost in the after market reached around that price. They were pretty limited to the Pokemon Center and Amazon.jp, which sold out quickly and then rose to yeah, around $120. Then it came to NA and after those sold, value went up to that amount.
Limited Nendos raise in value :/

Buddy checked the Toys R Us by him, only one they had was Bowser.
Of course the areas where I can have people check don't have anything else.

Thanks for the info
welp, I hope that at least Mario Party amiibos are available when they release.So yeah, both of my potential Shulk GAF helpers couldn't get me one in the end because of problems in their lives that I can totally understand.
So heeeere we goooo again: Anyone have an extra Shulk for me?
I think you might have to wait for Feb 13th with the rest of us unprepared folks
Just a warning. When I stopped at TRU this morning the sales clerk informed me that they're oversold by 6 on their Lucario Pre-orders. I don't know if this is will be a trend throughout all of their stores, but just thought I'd let you guys know to get there early if you have an in-store pick-up pre-order!
