Yeah, when I saw the question in your post I already figured it should be Little Mac who's missing. I don't know what's up with him. Nippon-Yasan currently got them in stock, but I just don't feel like paying 30 euros for it.
Yeah I should.

Ok... so I went today to Hamburg, Germany. some of you probably know by now that that store has everything.... amiibo section looked like this some hours ago. (pic taken by me with my phone)
.- The first one to tell me which ONE amiibo is not available in the pic receives an internet brofist and high five from me
.- Shitton of Lucarios, Ikes, Bowsers, Toon Links
.- Sheik a bit less and even less Rosalina, which is going for 36.99 euros right now in the German amazon.
.- There are a ton of amiibos here, I had to step back to take the pic but that's the whole area, nothing else to Mario's or Ike's sides.
So this is the store that makes spanish media markts only have 4 of each amiibo, and old ones non existant? lol
This is the biggest corridor shelve of amiibos ive seen anywhere. Looks like the Infinity and Skylanders shelves you find here. Why those fuckers take that much space when they sell less (at least now), I will never understand.
Laffer I feel you. The same thing happened in the Fnac from Valencia.
I think im going to do the same thing for the 3.5 wave (getting up early in the morning, arrive in bus and then waiting for the doors to open), and fuck the scalper that is doing that. Of course going to get the ones for me only (no repeats), but that means he is not going to get repeats either.
EDIT
Reading some of your posts I saw the other day every figure of wave 2 sans Little Mac in a Toys R Us in Valencia. So they had Pits still there. Have you tried any toys r us where you live?
I had a bad experience with one yesterday. Didn't understand the amiibo situation at all, and he didn't understand that Toon Link was different from Link. He said "is it like an anime Link?"
I was like "....pretty much"
Lol interesting avatar you got there.
Sometimes you gotta break it down to them. For once, some people in electronics are people just covering lunch breaks and stuff. Also, some people just don't get informed on these things. Kind of have to explain things a bit for someone who isn't Amiibo-savvy.

You're UK too right? There's whole walls dedicated to Skylanders and DI in my local GAME and TRU stores but amiibo are still getting literally about a square metre of the racks in both stores. So annoying, it's why that photo is so astounding.

Did yours at least know the friggen difference between Diddy Kong and Donkey Kong? because that's how stupid the one at mine was.

So apparently best buy is putting huge stickers over the plastic of in store pick up Amiibos with the preorderers name on it.
If you don't want them to do that call them and they'll put it it in a best buy bag with the sticker on the bag

Actually comon for people completely uninterested in video games. I had one ask me what amiibos were While stocking them and ask me if they were used in stuff like call of duty(pretty positive its the only game title he even knew)
Yeah I don't understand why people think that they are "stupid", if it's something they are uninterested in and haven't been told about by a rep. Middle aged people at TRU that don't play games won't care.
You know? That is not a bad idea, amiibo support for call of duty, make fox and falcon compatible and let their clothes be available to unlock on those games,

Make Mario the announcer for your team "It's a go time! take a no prisoners!"
when you fail, play the classic mario death tune.
I'll never forget when they first released Zelda, Diddy and Little Mac. I saw so many of them it hurt my head. Toys R Us had 20 on their shelves, Target had two whole boxes. And Both stores where lacking in Diddy and Zelda.
I passed on Little Mac, why? "because Little Mac won't be that popular" i said to myself.

I never expect big box retail employees to know everything about the store or items because I've worked retail. TRU is out of season and seemingly only had two people working there when I went in the other day.
retailers just put people with good stats in electronics. You don't have to know shit about electronics to push accessories, warranties, and credit cards.

I was at gamestop look at some of the new 3ds xl preorders and I heard the employees talking about how hell February 1st is going to be, apparently amiibo buyers are just insane with phone calls and getting mad when they arent available. seems legit.
Yeah this too, so I get it. I've been put into departments like jewelry in the past, and I don't know a thing about details on anything there. I never expect management to train employees on the next biggest thing. At places like TRU, sometimes people can get familiar with the more popular toys, but no one is going to know all of their names and stuff.
As I typed that I thought about that it would be one Helluva good way to get 3rd partg support back. By giving companies some that amiibo money pie.
Wait, what's this about a mario party bundle? Is someone already offering a bundle?
I have 8 of my 11 wave 4 pre-orders there. It really sucks that I have to wait until the end of the month to have all of them. I decided to go on the hunt starting February 1st and cancel the ones I end up finding.
Speedwagon
Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
Yeah, the bundle with the Super Mario series Mario amiibo for $59.99. I think Amazon and Newegg had it but it might have sold out.
After seeing this I have just one thought... there needs to be a headless Bowser fight in the next SMB game!
Oh, okay thanks dude

Nah, Spain. But GAME stores here dont have much of skylanders and DI either. the big shelves are in places like carrefours and mediamarkts.
2/6 - Bowser
2/13 - Ike, Toon Link, Sheik, Dedede, & Shulk
2/20 - Mega Man & Sonic
I think that's it. That's suppose to be GS' release date. Target is suppose to have Rosalina on 2/1, I think. I haven't heard much about Lucario or Meta Knight.

Weird I didn't get that email. And I've had my preordered since November 20th.
