My Bowser shipped today from gamestop.com!

None of the rest of the orders have though.

And as I've said before i already saw shulk in store when the manager showed him too me.

I know it's not amiibo related but since I won't have any new amiibo for about a week, I just wanted to share what I got in the mail today.

It also reminds me that Snake, unfortunately, isn't in Smash... Yet.

Also, I bought it through AmiAmi and wanted to show how good their packaging is since a few of you used their site to preorder amiibo.
 
Tracker is accurate for items that are newly released. But beyond that, it can't account for items that may have not been checked out properly or moved/hidden w/in the store.
Pretty much. It only matches the online stock tracker. I would like one for TRU honestly.
 
I swung by a Toys R Us this morning... Peach and Kirby are warming those pegs hard core. There was a gloriously huge amiibo display with pegs for Fox, Pit, a ton of characters that are out of stock. But they're all Kirby. Kirby and Peach. Won't someone please buy them all so they can stock Toon Link and Bowser?
 
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.
This site is FAIL.

No stores within 70 miles have the Holy Trinity, and I live in Texas aswell. FAIL I SAY FAIL!
Dunno why I'm sad, probably couldn't afford any anywayz lol.

Good to see their packing job. I ordered from them for the first time just the other day. Looks like i can expect things to arrive in good shape.

Wait... is that seriously a Snake head stylized like the low graphics of the PS1 MGS?? Can I get a closeup of that? Crap, now it's between Toon Link and Snake!
 
Went by TRU at lunch since I was out running errands, and there was just one Bowser left among the rest of the commons from Waves 1 & 2 (Samus had the lowest stock of any available).

I'm kind of done with the hunt too...except for Rosalina. I do want her, and I hope someone on here can help me out. I don't mind if it's an import (I'm in the US) because I'll take it out of the packaging. I also want Meta Knight, but it looks like it won't be a difficult import if I decide to go that route.

I've got Mega Man pre-ordered, and I'd like to get Sonic. And Dedede. And Bowser (but he won't be too rare).

Mine's shipping but I ended up going with slower shipping so it's like two weeks out from me. Not a big deal as he'll show up when he shows up.

where can I buy this guy!? like right now!
 
Best Buy........seriously......

Shipped my 2 Fox figures in a massive white plastic shitty bubble mailer. One has the whole side of the package ripped open and the other the top front corner was smashed in.

If they fuck up my Meta Knights...

This is exactly why I pick in store pick up for Amiibos whenever the option is available. It should be common knowledge by now that figurines and such are collectors items and should always be packaged carefully. That said, I am pretty worried how my Lucario TRU order is going to turn out. :(
 
Ahhh... Fedex has made me a very happy amiibro!


From the other side of the world, a couple days before the Lucario U.S. floodgates open. Take that, Toys R Us! (Had to watermark the photo in case some moron decided to steal the photo to use for whatever nefarious purposes they had in mind.)
 
Another wonderful day of...uh, no wave 4. Hoping this week goes a bit better!
 
Actually I'm not really sure you can upload a picture I've taken on my phone camera onto imgur?

I do it all the time, maybe switch to the normal site rather than the mobile one? I seem to recall the mobile site was a bit janky when I tried to upload.

Edit: I see you got it, awesome. Also you shouldn't have to sign up if you don't want to but it doesn't matter either way.
 
Anyway, all I wanted to say was that the staircase from Amazon that has been mentioned a few times in here arrived today. I'm very impressed with how it looks, only problem is it's definitely not going to be big enough to fit all the bos I want. I can fit 6 on each step at a push I reckon.

Anyway, here is ze collection so far,

Just a request for everyone posting huge photos - please put the pic in a quote (ya know, [.QUOTE][.IMG]link_to_image[./IMG][./QUOTE] without the '.').

It makes the entire thread hard to read if you don't :/
 
Hey Amiibros. I haven't been posting as much since there really hasn't been anything going on. I do lurk just to make sure I am not missing anything. I have all of Wave 3 pre-ordered so I haven't been going out of my way to check local stock unless I happen to be in a store. Stopped by TRU so here is the obligatory whats in my hood pic (Charleston, SC).

20150126_102335.jpg


The empty pegs are for Shiek, Bowser, Toon Link, and Lucario. I am not sure if they are sold or just never put them out. Probably cleaned out by scalpers if I had to guess. There were an absolute shit ton of Samus, 2 to 3 pegs across and top to bottom. I am guessing 30 plus. The rest of the norms were there minus Fox. There were Diddys but no rares or uncommons.

Also stopped by Walmart. Didn't take a pic because it looks exactly like the one I took and posted a month ago ha. It is so sad. Never saw a Wave 2.

I don't think Lucario is going to be uncommon but if he is I will have some extra I think and will update if I can send them out. I had 2 online orders that were cancelled and then I reordered them when they became available. Since they are incompetent I also grabbed 2 in-store cards and I received the email yesterday that they would be available on the 31st. During the great 2014 cancellation debacle i got nervous and grabbed one of their eBay listings as well. So in theory I could have 5 of these stupid things coming at me due to TRU's incompetence and my spazzing out tendency.

That being said it seems others are in the same boat and I am sure they will have in-store extras given the pegs and all.

Sorry about that; got really excited and forgot to do so when posting.
 
Here is my collection so far. I'm using a crappy particle-board media shelves from Walmart at the moment. Still looking into a better way to display them; especially when my son gets old enough to want to chew on them.
