My sister lives there- she goes out that way sometimes and I was hoping she'd be going out that way today, but just asked her and turns out she isn't. :(

Noooo! Well that's quite alright. I wish there was a way to hold these things. I'm at work in Denton and wouldn't be able to make it out there until tomorrow.
 
Its not 100% reliable, but its pretty close.

When this happen, ask them to check in the back, look if they are hidden in another isle, or check the returns area, normally the system is updated live, so if they are not there its either an error in the system or someone stole them or have them in hand.
Awesome, thank you Salva

If I manage Villager (again, not getting my hopes up), then I might do it this weekend. Otherwise, it'll probably be around the 13th since I figured Shulk be the most rare & therefore the most appropriate for the giveaway to show my thanks to the community. Otherwise, if I can't get Shulk, I might aim for Rosalina or Ike.

No surprise there. I might as well check since it's right across the street from my GS.
Okay well regardless of the when the next giveaway is, let me know. I will probably have a Fox to contribute.
 
DCPI tracker is showing me 3 Marths in stock at the Target in Plano, TX. Is anyone close by? If you get there I'd pay you for one of them. I'm in Denton.

Also 2 WFT at West Plano Target and 2 in Irving, TX. I'd gladly pay for one of those as well.
I'm surprised no one has picked those up yet, but I would've if it wasn't past Arlington.

I wouldn't get my hopes up
 
I was curious and checked out if any near me got restocked. Of course the answer is a big fat "NO".
Although this site will be useful when checking to see if they release the 2/1 early.
 
I'm sorry but what the ever loving fuck is going on with Amiibos, as someone who isn't really that up on buying them? Robin preorders have been up for a few days, and this brand new commodity is sold out fucking everywhere.

Is this deliberate on the part of Nintendo, or is it just scalper cunts being scalping cunts?
 
You guys are making me jealous with the Wave 3 scores. I'm still waiting patiently for my pre-orders. I dunno...I think I'm getting a bit burnt out on this Amiibo hunt, but I still must complete my Smash collection, dangit! I'm pot committed at this point.

And still no Wave 4 U.S. pre-orders?

ETA of arrival is the 30th so I'll be checking often that day and the 31st to see if it shows how many each store gets.

They aren't there. Called the store twice; once a month ago, and again a week ago just to make sure. Got the same employee both times, who was pretty annoyed with the calls. He wasn't rude about it, but he made it clear that they get multiple calls daily over the same item. Said something about the stock not updating. Which certainly appears to be the case.

Hey thanks Salva! Are these the same numbers for Walmart as well?
 
It must just be a Wave 1 restock for Target in the U.S. because I see no restocks of the rare Wave 2 stuff.

I don´t think they are restocks, I think they are returns.

Hey thanks Salva! Are these the same numbers for Walmart as well?

No, Wal-Mart have their own numbers, when you check the page for an amiibo on walmart its number is on its general information.

Having to find walmart skus for wave 3 one at a time
Anybody have skus for wave 3? I'll update...
 
Went to Toy R Us in Lewisville, TX and found Toon Link and Bowser. They had about 3 TL and at least 15 Bowser.

Sales associate asked if I was looking for Lucario and I mentioned I had ordered an import online and he said good because there were apparently two scalpers on Wave 2 launch who he had to call security on because they were fist-fighting.

FIST-FIGHTING. Over figurines. Come on, that's a bit ridiculous. They also started the 2 character per person, per day policy.

Wow that's seriously crazy to physically fight over these things. I can totally imagine it happening though. I wish all retailers would implement a policy like that. I am expecting it come the 30th and the 1st but still going to try to get 1 or two extras for peeps.

I'm starting to feel like I'm going to have to look like a scalper just to prevent the real scalpers from getting em. Ughhhhhh

Then attack scalpers where it hurts: their wallets. Don't buy from them. I've seen a lot of people here say they're "being forced" to buy from scalpers...why? Don't get me wrong, I like amiibo and I would like to get them all eventually, but it's not something that I need. So I refuse to pay outlandish prices for any of them.

Don't feed the beast. Let it starve.

Yep don't buy from them. It'll force them to lower prices until it sells at a tiny profit or they'll have to return them and hopefully be banned from returns after.

Thanks so much for sharing!
 
This is my current collection! And it's currently resting on my bookshelf!

It's always worth a shot, especially if you're close by. I figured someone might be.
I'm going to test this thing out to see if it's accurate by checking a Target near Lake Worth, shows they have 3 Fox, and it'd be nice to check out the area since there's a Best Buy over there. It's accurate on the commons, but the rares could be a different story.
 
I think those Texas locations are too far away from me :/

I kind of wanted Wii Fit Trainer.

Guess I'll wait until they're restocked near me...or Amazon restocks their own. #DownWithScalpers
 
No problem.

I have used this since the launch of wave 2 and It helped me get Diddy, Zelda and Little Mac when they launched, I also saw them disappear from the inventory tracker in real time after I bought them.

Good to know! I was just at a Target that lists 3 WFT in stock, but I didn't see them there on the shelf. I hope nobody else braves the snow before I can get back to ask if anything is in the back :(

nice me too I post it early on in the original OT.
They probably need to be put in the first post...

I called the 2 locations in Irving and none had the trinity. I may swing by anyways after work and if I see extras I may pick them up for my amiibros.

Same. I still need the Wave 1 rare trio. #DownWithScalpers

Awesome. Just keep us posted!

Someone should make an app that uses this tracker and the SKUs for each amiibo at different retailers. I'd pay $5 for that. :D

That reminds me of the weekend after Smash launched, where I happened to see a WFT at a GS and I didn't pick it up because I was looking for Marth. But deep down, I knew she was rare and going to picked up the next day, which was what happened. Besides WFT, the only (1st) trinity member I saw was Villager and it was a pre-order for a customer.

This is exactly what nowinstock.com does... however there may or may not be one of those on the way.... The problem is some stores don't know or release skus till after the release date.

Hence why I responded to your earlier quote that if anyone knows wave 3 skus for walmart I'll add them but I don't think anyone does yet...

My roommate has a Marth, and I saw a Villager that was pre-ordered for a Best Buy customer.

I did also have a Wii Fit Trainer and Villager close to launch, but I gave them to my nieces for Christmas since they really wanted them.

Haha! The only reason I picked WFT was because I needed one more to go with my buy 3 for $30 promo, I had Peach, Villager and I was looking for another one, no Marth, but I saw a lonely WFT and I said "Eh, might as well"

I really like her now, the figure feels amazing. My GF called her HotBuns.

But the stores that aren't completely out of stock on these guys consistently have three of them. Would returns really be redistributed to random stores in sets of three?
Fair point. Maybe you are right and they are late shipments.

I call my Marth amiibo, "Morth", because he looks so derpy.
