Just wanted to say since in out of town for the next month with no computer. Next OT I going to be nothing but a cut and paste. If anything huge pops up I'll have to borrow from sources and won't be able to make myself.

If you're really interested in FE cameos, I'd say it won't be such an issue. Marth is still available online in Europe in many places, especially in german online shops* (you just have to find one that ships to your country, but there's a couple of them at least), and several Gaffers can probably help you if you can't find a solution (just ring the bell)
I was talking from a Nintendo point of view: I don't consider a huge issue if the average Codename Steam buyer has troubles to unlock a cameo character. And even considering this, they already talked about producing a couple more, and later producing cards that act like an Amiibo...

I've yet to cave for imports. I'm trying to hold off from paying more than 20 for a amiibo. Though it seems that if I order multiple from certain places they come out to less than that. I'll have to play around with it if i absolutely run out of options here.

Yep I ordered almost the entire wave 3 from europe and averaged about $17-18 I think per figure. In late December I ordered WFT Villager Marth Pit Mac and CF Diddy all together for about the same. So much better than to stress about it here. I ended up getting US versions anyways so I'm going to open my EU ones and I gave some away.
Also when you order a bunch, getting the fastest shipping is about 10 EUR more but split amongst your whole order that's only $1 or so extra per figure. My slower shipment was flagged for review so it took almost a month to get to me. My fastest shipping order came in about 3 days! To me in California that is

Best. Day. Ever. My mother called me a few hours ago to tell me that she "found the amoeba I was looking for" while she was at TRU looking for puzzles. Now I have my precious Bowser Amiibo and he is just perfect. Might just be my bias talking, but Bowser really does look and feel like the best Amiibo.

Yeah, but it's really depend on managers to follow up. Hopefully it would be smooth for everyone.
Congrats!

Nintendo world is crazy packed. Didn't even bother
Meanwhile I'm over here worshiping demons to get a Rosalina.
Oh god wtf with that gif >.<
Dedede does look amazing. I think wave 3 is shaping up to be the best by far. I can't wait to see megaman.
I haven't bothered with Wave 3 yet cause I know my local stores just aren't ganna have em. I mean, I have the majority of them on order. Just need Meta Knight, Shulk and maaaaybe Rosalina if my target guy doesn't come through. Is there a trading thread? I'll probably end up trading an extra Pit + Captain fer Meta Knight or Shulk.
Sad to hear it
But one lesson I learned a long time ago: never, ever have faith in Entertainment Earth. So many broken dreams...ThisBeJason

Any idea on the qty they had of each in store? Any idea on wave 4 preorders? Thanks!
oh dang...didn't know
maybe it is isolated then, since the EB where mine are being sent, hasn't called me yet to pickup =/
Were people budging in or something?

I threw my TRU pre-order up in the air and this was the result:Meanwhile I'm over here worshiping demons to get a Rosalina.
I think I might be done with Amiibo after I get the next couple that I want, namely Rosalina, Ness, Charizard, and Duck Hunt. I already have Toon Link, Sonic, Mega Man and Shulk preordered. Nintendo's distribution channels and communication is toooooo awful and I don't think that I want to deal with this crap anymore.
From what I saw, they still had a pretty good stock of various wave 3s behind the counter. I asked the cashier when they'll get Mega Man, he said maybe they'll get them next week.
EDIT: I also noticed that when a certain character ran low, someone brought another box to replenish supply.
So, wait...when is Target selling Rosalina? Why are some people suggesting to check on Saturday?
I saw Bowser and Toon Link in TRU in Hoover, Alabama last week, but they're all gone.

Nice, congrats on nabbing the hardest to get (I'm guessing)!
Dang. That was one of the places I wanted to check

Can't believe you waited on that line. I saw it and immediately turned around. Does the line move quick? They probably wouldve sold out by the time it was my turn anyway

Just grabbed a Bowser from the GameStop by Central Michigan University. Still had about 3 it looked like.

Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
Meta Knight, Rosalina, Bowser, Shiek, DeDeDe, Ike, Toon Link, and Lucario arrived in the mail from Amiami today. Also got my Villager and Wii Fit Trainer from Amazon jp that I ordered way back. My collection is coming along nicely.
Also I don't know if it's just mine, but Meta Knight's paint job is really shoddy on his mask, shoes, and shoulders. Very uneven black paint. Hopefully the ones from Best Buy are better.

I haven't been there in years, that's where my wife went to college. It always feels like a small world to see other gaffers living all around me. Tell me, are you familiar with The Grotto and The Pixie?
They stick to the 1 per customer limit. Can't really refuse service to others just because they came as a group, even if it is for scalping.

Wow. Only four days since Rosalina's UK launch and she is already going for £30+ #scalperheaven
I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty tempted to put one up.
I made this though from that little chart someone posted a few pages back.
What the hell!?
If anyone's interested, I just finished my latest custom Amiibo.
It says Yellow when you scan it

Of course! Never spent much time at either, though. I live in the general area and graduated from CMU in 2009.
Nice! Which Pikachu figure is that or where did you get it?
BumblebeeCody
Member
I bought it from TheToyShop. Search for Pikachu and you'll find some other good Pikachus you can use.
Little video of it here.
I really like this one just because of Pikachu lazy-ing around but for £18(With an admittedly cool Mega Blaziken figure) it's not something I wanted to spend.
