Amiibo Discussion Thread 2: I Got 99 Pre-orders But A Rosalina Ain't One

Status
Not open for further replies.
I'm think I'm starting to experience a condition known as early-onset Amiibo-induced retail paranoia, in which I assume everyone around me (when I'm driving to the store, parking at the store, and actually in the store) is trying to buy all the rare Amiibos before I can. It's a serious condition and there's no known cure.

There is a cure. Win.
 
Ignorant employees; that's all it is. They're misinformed because they just don't care. I've gotten two different stories regarding Amiibos before, from the same store, so it's not like it doesn't happen often. Try and ask someone else next time. They are in the ad; they will be there.
Not true. He checked the computer system. He didn't just spout some crap off on the spot. He actually checked their orders and there was nothing there.
Was it the Manager? Always ask for the manager, the guy on the floor had NO clue what I was talking about.
I know from my shopping at Target that the guys in the electronics department are gamers. In fact they're Nintendo fanboys, so it's not like he didn't know what I was talking about.
 
Update for our Canadians friend in search of Rosalina.

http://www.reddit.com/r/amiibo/comments/2twv7z/canadian_rosalina_update/

So I called Target customer service and apparently there was a memo sent out yesterday stating that all stores, with exceptions, will be receiving the Rosalina amiibo for sale February 1st and shipments have been sent already to the stores. The only store I was told, and confirmed with by management, to not be receiving the delivery will be the Shoppers World location in Toronto, located between Victoria Park and Main st Station. This is apparently due to expedited liquidation.

Of course, take it with a grain of salt.

Wow I really don't know what to believe anymore... We hear people saying that stores just won't receive them and we read things like your quote from reddit...

No, I'm pretty sure it's more Cowbell. ;o

If they are on the level and they really aren't getting any, go on Sunday anyway. Because they are in the ad, you can get a rain check on them so you are assured one when they finally do arrive. I've gotten the "the computer says no" line before too, and it's not always the truth.

Thanks! Although I don't understand that er... classification Salva :p
 
Well ended up selling my Marth and Villager on craigslist, the guy that bought them turned out to be a collector and a huge nintendo fan so I sold them to him well below my asking price. Kinda regretting my decision, but at least they went to someone that was passionate at getting a complete US set.
 
Sooo sexy.

HNNNNNNGHHHH

The amiibo I've been waiting since this things were announced back on E3. Looks so freaking good, classic, attractive and blue. OMFG but where I live no retails are taking preorders for Megaman! What the hell I'm going to do to get one :'(

How much did you sell your Villager for?
 
I think I'm at a point where I'm willing to beg for a chance to buy a Rosalina from someone. I don't think Nintendo gives a shit about Canada anymore. :(
 
Finally picked up SAMUS today at Tru after passing on her on multiple occasions. Always the "oh I'll grab her next time" but finally thought it wise to get her before she disappears completely.

Congrats! I really like the detail on the Samus figure, can't wait for whenever Zero Suit comes out though.
 
Howdy! So I recently got my first 2 amiibo: yoshi and Samus and I want to know how to properly train them. What's the best way to train them? They are already level 14 (Samus) and 13 (Yoshi). Should I have them face level 9's until they are about level 20-25? Also, when they level up do they get more moves and equipment to choose from? How does that work?
 
Looking at the Mewtwo custom topic on Reddit, it's sad that the guy isn't even saying that the figure wasn't made by him :/ Everyone is assuming it's custom-made (although it is custom put together) and he's not denying anything, pretty much taking credit for it. No one else figured it out.

Kinda crappy.

Um, no. Its custom because of the box, not the figure. We all know the figure is a official product, but the box and the way is packaged looks really nice.

Edit: Oh, you mean on Reddit. Carry on.

The people replying on there don't seem to just be commenting on the box. Lots seem to believe that he made it.
 
I'm guessing Diddy 2: Electric Boogaloo. Might be somewhat hard to find in store in some areas, but overall still fairly easy to obtain.

in other words, "uncommon"

No one ever talks about using their Amiibos in games in this thread, just about rabidly collecting the things :lol

But I'll answer you. I believe Amiibos level up fastest when they fight other Amiibos, so have you two guys fight each other. It's also fun to fight them yourself. Almost feels like you're raising them right.
 
Sooo can amiibo go in the freezer and still have the NFC chip work?

My awesome link who was looking straight is looking down again 😤
I don't think I iced him long enough
 
Australia and New Zealand: Mighty Ape have had last minute cancellations on a whole bunch of Wave 3 amiibo so if you were looking for something check their website now because they'll sell out fast.

My Toon Link, King Dedede and Meta Knight shipped out so there's no going back on those!
