Wow. That's like a dream come true for us in the states. Walk into a store and complete you collection. Imagine that!
Serramonte, Colma, Geary, and Tanforan Targets should have a couple. I'd call them if you can make it out to one.
DID THEY HAVE PIT??? or did you mean only Wave 3s?

yeah seems like me and others are waiting on the Illinois warehouse to start shipping these out, for whatever reason their allotments of Rosalinas seem to be delayed.
So, a friend of mine said he spotted a Rosalina at a pretty far away Target but they quickly stopped him when he was a register.
The minute they scanned it it popped up something that told them it wasn't allowed to be sold till 2/1. Bit of good news.
Old news the system locking it out, but nice that had some Rosie's even if they mistakenly put them out early ;p
Yeah, in Aus you can complete your set if you come in first thing when the store opens. Granted you probably have to run past a few other people fighting you for them. Few Aussies are reporting that 2 + people have left a store with a complete set. Stock is pretty crazy here.
In Australia the limited amiibis are Ike, Shulk and Lucario. Rosalina is in surplus!
Oh yeah - only Wave 3!

I remember two people asked Target this before. On Twitter target said in store only, all online sales were sold out. Same was told over the phone to customer service. Who knows though!? Amiibo hunting is very unpredictable.

It will ship tomorrow! I can feel it!
I went to all those today except colma which i just called. Just went to early it seems. Gonna try again.
Damn at only wave 3s. Would've asked some mates to rush there and ship me one. Oh well, grats on the new amiibos!
Where do you need it shipped too?
PIT ;-;
Why did I think I can just walk into an EB Games and compare the stocks to get the better one?
New Zealand. Just a little boat ride away from you guys lol.

LOL.
So, on a whim, I decided to look up Target online's phone number to see if I could check the status of my order, or see why it hasn't shipped yet.
It was an automated system, but after typing in my order number and zip code, it says my order will be shipped on February 5th.
What total BS, I ordered it on Dec 17th, right when it went up. Probably gonna hit the phyiscal store for sure to insure I get one, and two if I possibly can for you.
Such crap though. as most that ordered will already have theirs by then, not to mention everyone that picks one up at a store.
You hadn't yet built up a healthy Amiibo-anxiety.
Man Dedede is heavy, same with Bowser.
A bit of a douchebag move, but for future orders why not pre-order multiple at EB Games and when you go to pick them up just pick the one you like best? They ship stock between stores so they don't lose money in the long run and will return your pre-order money if you ask, they can't force you to buy it.

Wave 3 with the 4 exclusives are the first Amiibos I am relying on online orders for.
GameStop USA for Shulk, Future Shop Canada for Meta Knight, Toys R Us USA for Lucario and Target USA for Rosalina.
So far none have shipped and I am worried =\
All the others are in store and ready for me at EB Games Canada, except for Mega Man and Sonic which seem to be MIA everywhere in NA so far.

Helps put me at ease cause I don't wanna miss her getting sold early and thus screwing me out of a Rosy.

Looks awesome! Is that the order that they're numbered (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.)?

Well that is weird. Maybe it is due to that warehouse you were talking about and that one is delayed?
Let me know if you can grab one in store before we have to worry about those 2 shipping. Thanks again sooooooo much!
Target's inventory tracker on their website is scarily accurate for the San Francisco area. I always check there before I bother going.
Lol Amiibo-anxiety.
Yeah Bowser is a heavy beast. DeDeDe is a close second.
Time to preorder 20x Lucinas, Robins and Nesses?
Yup numbered order from left to right.
I love the numbers. They help feed my obsession.
When are they going to release the cards already so I can stop thinking about opening these?

That's awesome. Question though, where are yours from? All over the world I assume?

I'm kind of glad we didn't get the numbers in NA or else I would probably leave them unopened... and then I'd buy two of each. I keep debating on how to line them up on my shelf (I've been moving them around at least three times/week). Using the EU numbering system might be a good way to do it!
I would say more like 3x, but yes EB Games will ship heaps to a store if you do it online. It's $10 per pre-order though. My local EB Games has 6x Rosalina while only 1x of every other Amiibo.

Weegee time!
I might do that hmm.
Thanks! I've learned to pre-order first, ask questions later. Hesitating has caused me regret each time haha

Thank you good sir
All from New Zealand. Retailers have been really good with preorders here and I never took any chances. That photo doesn't include my spares!
Yeh, I already feel like it's a lot of money to buy one set, so getting two sets would just be too hard on the wallet. They're $25 NZD each here which is pretty damn expensive (particularly compared to Skylanders for example, you'd pay $25 for one of their premium large figures and $20 or less for the smaller ones, AND they frequently go on sale while Amiibos are hard to find and haven't dropped below $22 NZD).
I've opened one (Captain Falcon) because I had a spare and he's my favourite, but after messing around with him I'm not really into the Amiibo functionality, so I probably won't open any more. I planned to open a spare Zelda, Samus, and Fox, but they haven't arrived from GAME UK and I've been waiting since they shipped on December 16th.
why can't it ship to Canada?
I finally buckled and made myself a spreadsheet to keep track of my amiibo(s). I think I have control of my collection. Funnily enough, it's only Wave 1 that I'm not concerning myself with, seeing as I already have the elite trilogy and everything else is readily available. I'm gonna pick up Zelda and Fox next, I think, based on the price patterns I've seen here in the UK.
I really wish Nintendo UK would get the Wave 4 preorders back up though. The idea of going without Ness is getting me antsy.

Still no word on my Lucario preorder
Gamestop just texted me. The Bowser amiibo I ordered from the site to pick up in store will be available for pickup on Friday.
I just got that same text. But last nite I went to cancel my preorder since I already have 2 bowsers.
If you really get stuck PM me. I have 4 on order here because he's my dream Amiibo. Might cost a bit to ship but the option is there.
Appreciate it buddy.
