My buddy at Target just confirmed 40 Rosealinas for launch day. I'm not too worried...

You want to buddy up and help find one for someone on the list.
You've found one yourself

I wonder if there is a reason why we can't preorder Wave 4 Amiibo is that they are working on deals with retailers for Exclusive Amiibo, right?

Another question: has anyone's online Lucario orders shipped yet?

Not yet. I heard a rumor that they probably wouldn't honor online preorders for some reason. Take it with grain of salts.

I had one through TRU on eBay.

They eventually sent me an email saying that it wouldn't get here (be shipped?) by February 1st (or whatever release date), but made it sound like they would still send it to me. I still half expect to get it, but I don't expect it to be timely.
 
You are right. Tried it on Chrome and worked as usual. No changes to my order, either, so it should be on track.

I'm so dumb for overreacting but this amiibo craze has dug deep and is here to stay unless Nintendo discontinues amiibo altogether. I need the full set of ALL of them.

Haha I understand, the way it's handled is making a lot of us on edge. I am glad that I could calm your fears!
 
I wonder are we going to get picture of people lined up at the Nintendo World Store. Surely there going to be quite a few lined up to get the retail exclusive like Rosalina and Shulk. Snow in my area is pretty bad (and most likely delayed my amazon.fr Rosalina delivery) and I'm probably going to be in the back of the line by the time I get there so I'm not even going to bother. I have to wonder if they are going to enforce 1 per customer rule so someone won't buy all the Rosalina.
 
Please stop.
Please.
no, no pls no T_T

If this happens I blame you.

heath pls


I'm sorry! >.<

I was thinking of worse-case scenario since we haven't really hear anything about Wave 4 yet.

IntelliHeath is NoA employee confirmed. :P

Hmm, I haven't got any email. I just knew that they probably wouldn't reinstated my order despite the fact that they said that they will.

Gonna be a bunch of snowmen(and women) in front of the store lol.

So the store hasn't closed in that weather yet? Crazy.

Come on you don't think Walmart wants in on this sweet action at this point?
 
My first Toon Link arrived today, from Zavvi and delivered by Yodel.

Other than the sold out Amiibos I have on order with them, I'm never ordering from those fuckers again.

Delivery guy rand the doorbell and I was there in 5 secs cos I'd seen him pull up. When I opened the door he was already on his way back to the van - cheers mate!

The box was fucked. Not an issue as I planned on opening but fuck me it looked like a Terrier had been playing with it.

Despite that, the figure is amazing - another to be classed as a favourite :)

The W3 exclusives were announced quite a while ago, right? We would've had a whiff of it by now.

Wave 5 and up though...'PetSmart is happy to announce that much like Dr. Mario's exclusivity with Walgreens, we are the exclusive home for Duck Hunt'
 
I would if I lived remotely close to one. I wish they had a few more stores...even regionally (like Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles, etc.) would be nice.
I live in NYC but I don't want to go to Manhattan. Besides even if I wanted to it'll probably be closed by the time I come out of work since the trains are running super slow today >_> I'm hoping someone can pick up a rosalina for me and we can meet up when the weathers better and I'll pay em for it.
 
Man, I should've use Walt White "You got me" GIF since it work much better. Thanks tho!

Perhaps. What would make it worse for Walgreens and PetSmart is the fact that they don't have preorder system.
 
I was one of those mugs that bought one of these :/ But at least I have her in my hands now...
... But guy, it just launched. I'm sure they'll restock. I wouldn't spend more that $17 on these things.(basically about 3 dollars more than what they go for in NYC which is $14.14 after taxes)
 
I had one, but I haven't heard if they reinstated it.
This whole Amiibo thing is turning out to be one big disaster.

I got mine right when they went back up AFTER the mass cancellations. I'm not sure where that puts me on the list, but I'm sure reinstated orders have priority. My order was never cancelled and the status as of this morning still says "on hold until release date."

Jeez I hope not. Personally I'd rather just order all of em on amazon and have em delivered to me whenever they finally got em, even if I do get em a bit late instead of scurrying to different places to get the ones I want. Luckily only 2 of wave 3 I want are exclusives(Rosa and shulk). I want almost all of wave 4 tho
 
Got my Little Mac for 99% now. A nice fella who saw one in his local toy shop told so on a Dutch message board. So I asked him if he could grab it for me. He now called the shop and they hold it for him so he can pick it up later this week. So if the toyshop hold up on their end I should have my Little Mac next week

I don't think there'll be exclusives for wave 4 because it's too small. Having exclusives so people will be there when stores open to get them and then only have 2-3 Amiibos for sale wouldn't make a lot of sense.
 
I haven't been keeping super close watch on this Amiibo stuff, but is there a set release date for Wave 3 now? Or are we all still wading through "unknown February"?

Well tbf the Nintendo store uses the same group as Zavvi who themselves use Yodel, they delivered my Rosalina last Saturday

uh...I don't actually know what happened with Wave 2. :(

I'm in Montreal where basically it's been Mario / Donkey Kong on shelves from the beginning of time...

Well, the release date for Wave 2 was all over the place depending on the retailer, starting on Dec 16 and going all the way to Jan 15, point is there is no fixed release date for most of them, only Lucario and Rosalina have 100% confirmed release date as Jan 30 and Feb 1.
