Any update TheBatman?

Looks like Canada isn't getting it at all according to that reddit link. Really sad if Canada doesn't get it in some way.

Make it right Nintendo!

Because they're generalizing, I guess. They have different dates for different Amiibos. Here's an updated North American list of when each Wave 3 figure is released at each retailer (bold = first available date for figure). If I've missed something or I have something wrong, let me know.

[Jawmuncher]

There are decently priced Ike and Marth on eBay. Japan-region, but if you want to use them for S.T.E.A.M. that shouldn't matter.

Marth - $23.00 shipped
Ike - $19.49 shipped
Ike - $18.99 shipped

I'm thinking about that Marth and maybe even an Ike.

Still curious where this leaves my Newegg pre-order.

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

Amiibos and Infinity-os.
Once they are all in I will do something about the risers.

 

[GAMERG0D]

I have received Bowser from GameStop today, Florida. He's one of the better amiibos in terms of quality imo.

 

[ZeroX03]

Just confirmed I'm getting the 3 Rosalina I ordered. Shipment is running late but I'm getting them tomorrow. I'll check how much it costs to send them to NA and if it's not too bad I might be able to hook up some Gaffers at cost. No solicited PMs though until I can confirm it.

 

[Toki767]

The eastern half of the US. The western half still haven't gotten him in yet.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

So have Target.com preorders been reliable so far? Since I have a Red Card I was just going to preorder all of Wave 4 at once whenever it goes up.

 

[Ryfferr]

Wave 3 Get! (I'm in New Zealand btw)

 

[falconxcrunner09]

GUYS LOOK WHAT I FOUND IN THE WILD!!!!

Randomly at a Toy R Us, the last one. I already own C Falcon so I bought it for someone here. If anyone wants to buy it, please let me know!

It was $14.86 (Tax) + will be whatever ship cost to someone. I want to break even, no scalping. I want to make zero money off of this. I did this as a gesture for someone who is in need of one. I am going for a run, so in two hours I will randomly draw a name to whoever PMs or quotes me.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Guys, if anyone has a Little Mac or Villager I would be oh so grateful if you even think about selling it. Those are my top two wanting Amiibos!

 

[Jawmuncher]

Ended up buying the Ike and Marth from those eBay links. Just need to see what happens with Shulk and Rosalina now and I'm all set aside from grabbing a toon link which seems like it won't be too hard to do.

 

[one_kill]

Guess what today is?!

Miss out on Shulk day! Wooooooo

i really hope i get one

 

[Renewed]

I remember what the manager of my go-to EB Games said. Considering the Target Canada problem and Rosalina, he wondered if the other retailers will battle it out and the last one standing will get to sell Rosalina.

I totally want to see that happen.

I know, but it's not every GameStop yet. Some Targets are getting Wave 3A figures, too. I just listed the official date GameStop sent out to all its store managers. All of the GameStop dates are fuzzy since that store isn't street dating anything — if something new comes in, employees are to put it out on shelves immediately.

 

[polg]

Hi Amiibros, if you are really desperate for wave 3 and happy to pay crazy prices:
buy them from New Zealand

they are all in stock, and it ships to the US

Hmm... So if I want to get Sonic, MM, Dedede and Ike the earliest I can, it looks like TRU's going to be my best bet.

I have all four pre-ordered at GS and BBY as well (did GS as a backup), but if I can snag them sooner, what the heck?

[crmetteer]

Just got a Sheik from target. I had to tell the guy that it would pass the POS system, and he checked and confirmed. went into the back and got one for me. Apparently they only got two

 

[pete_clarf]

So, THIS GUY has some pretty reasonable prices on Japan region amiibos.

He is selling one of the two Ike's that I linked earlier. Has Dedede, Pit, Rosalina, Marth, Lucario, Toon Link, Sheik, Fox, Ike, Kirby, Mario, Zelda, Diddy Kong, Link, Wii Fit Trainer, Samus, and Donkey Kong.

Prices are kind of all over the place (Pit and Samus are the two most expensive), but there are some decent prices in there. Shipping isn't terrible either, considering it's coming from Japan ($6.50).

EDIT: Looks like $6.50 is the shipping cost whether you order one or all 17... so even better!

 

[BumblebeeCody]

Oooh nice!

[Kilvin]

Posting for a new page, does anyone know?

Guys, as a Canadian is there anything special I have to do to order from Amazon UK? Or can I just order to my hearts content and have it shipped to Canada?

Never done this before and not sure how this works...

Just put in your Canadian address and Amazon will tell you if your order can be shipped there or not. Simple, just like making an order on ordinary Amazon. Amazon Japan is the only one which requires workarounds I think.

 

[Benzychenz]

Ok, time to get up and go amiibo hunting.

Hope I can find all the wave 3's I didn't order.

I just bought Rosalina from him for $21.49 earlier... I posted the link here in this thread as well. $14.99 for Rosalina then $6.50 for shipping.

Quick Target update:
- many targets in my area JUST got Sheik in stock but were in boxes in the back
- as soon as they were brought out someone bought them
- I'm assuming this same person is going to all the targets in the area. Great.
- one specific store I asked how many Rosalinas. 8. This store is putting a limit of one per customer. Take that freaking scalper with no life.
- this store is only selling Sheik today and the rest Sunday (prob bowser and toon link)

Goodluck hunting! Apparently Big W is a good place to hunt at.

All of the GameStop dates are fuzzy since that store isn't street dating anything — if something new comes in, employees are to put it out on shelves immediately.

Gamestop had a bunch of Bowser and none of the rest of wave 3. Bowser is obviously going to be like Yoshi and Mario and be readily available for a while.

 

[doowrah]

Ugh, finally got my shipping date for Toon Link from Amazon... March 2nd...

Think I'm gonna hunt in store because I can't wait that long

Bleh. You're in the bay area right? That's going to suck come Sunday.

Sweet, scored a Dedede! Plan to open it so works fine for me. Thanks!

Awesome, thanks for the help Wells.

Yep, they don't do preorders on them so whatever stock they get is up for grabs when the doors open.

But some Big Ws didn't even get any wave 2's so fingers crossed :s

Which ones are you on the look out for? Mightyape.com.au still has some if you need any of the ones they have up.

that was quick lol

Thanks! Bought Marth for $23! Now my search for him is over.

 

[ZeroX03]

They weren't in stock yesterday either. I'm pretty sure the current ones in stock are just pre-order cancellations.

 

[Toki767]

Targets around San Francisco have Sheik in stock now. I'm going to pick one up.

I don't think Mightyape nz/aus ever had those two up for preorder.

Good luck to everyone picking up Sheik today! Keep us updated on your progress.

 

[NMFried]

I'll pick up some extra Rosalinas if I see them at Target on the 1st for some Amiibros. I feel your pain.

 

[Scofield94941]

Welp bought a dedede (japan version) last night for 25 shipped from amazonmcom, it was prime so itll be here friday

 

[ThisBeJason]

Bleh. You're in the bay area right? That's going to suck come Sunday.

Yeah I am. At least two targets here are doing 1 per customer. Everyone ask their target and report back here pls!

 

[Jawmuncher]

Report now is a strict one per customer but we'll see. Guarantee it will be a case by case basis. Since unless they're locked to electronics and behind the counter you can grab one pay at electronics, then grab another and pay up front.

Man. Well I can't blame them to protect against scalpers. Will try my best nonetheless.

No Sheik or Lucario?

Also price stickers
