18 minutes after opening and already sold out? Wow.

Yup, and we don't seem to get restocks here. Wave 2 I never saw on shelves because I didn't rush out for them straight away (like, I didn't even see a 'common' like Luigi).

I've seen a few people say that waves 1 and 2 are being restocked late Feb though. I doubt it'll be everyone though, probably just the Mario, Zelda, Pokemon and DK characters.
 
I preordered the Mario PArty 10 + mario bundle earlier this morning,

now I got the preorderes for the rest of the Super Mario Bros set.

My Toon Link that I preordered mid december hasnt updated

When is Ness going up?!

SHOULD I BUY DONKEY KONG?!
 
Lottery is closed!

I assigned the 5 people to a number 1-5 and used random.org to choose a number.

The winner is....5! Congrats gatisimo! I will PM you with details to follow!


I am sorry to those who didnt win, I plan on running to that Toys R Us frequently and I will immediately post if I get some else.
 
Only really want Toad, & I don't think he'll be hard to find at launch. Still kind of holding out for a Captain Toad bundle.
 
Woo, Toad preordered! :D

Thanks anyway - appreciate you helping us out. ;D
 
Nice one!

I know ugh what a relief.

I don't know if I'm going to be angry or just plain disappointed if this arrives before the one from GAME. At least now I know I won't order from them if at all possible.

Only Wave 2 I found was Zelda (bought her) from JB Hifi. Everyone else, yeah nah.
 
I ordered the Mario Party 10 bundle earlier this week.
Just now, I ordered the other 5 amiibos in the Mario series.

I have 4 orders total:
1) Mario Party 10 w/ Mario amiibo
2) Luigi and Toad
3) Bowser and Peach
4) Yoshi

My OCD started kicking in and I was going to cancel all of those orders and reorder everything so that they're all on one order. I stopped myself when I realized that I am playing with fire if I do that! They'll likely all ship at once anyway.

Agreed on only wanting Toad from this line. I'm not even getting every Smash amiibo, so I'm definitely not interested in getting *two* versions of Mario/Peach/etc. Especially since we already know they all have the same function.

Toad looks great though.

Thank you anyway good looking out!!
 
Thanks for the heads up, y'all! Got all 5 and an extra Toad.

While I was ordering the mail came with my Wii Fit Trainer and Little Mac O_O AMIIBO-TON

Spent $75 on the two of em (US versions) but I'm so glad to have em :)
 
I wasn't really quite sure how popular the Mario Party Amiibos would be, but here in the UK it seems Mario and Peach has already sold out on the UK Nintendo store. Why on earth wouldn't you buy Toad instead of those?
 
...I should go to Target.

No Target will sell you Rosalina before the 1st. Sheik on the other hand is hit and miss. I went to two targets within a couple miles of each other today and one said Sheik wasn't street dated and sold it to me on the spot, whereas the other had just checked and their system wasn't allowing it before the 1st.
 
If there is one Super Mario Amiibo that's likely to be rare, it's Toad.

I wouldn't bet on that if I were you.
But people actually know who Toad is! Therefore he shouldn't be hard to find!

All seriousness, with the way I'm handling my budget, I MIGHT pre-order, but for the time being, since his Captain Toad usability is....eeh at best, I'm gonna keep my focus on the SSB line and some characters who're more "useful" to me or I'm a bigger fan of, like Ike & Mega Man.

Yeah, I have no reason at the moment to get a 2nd version of a character I already own. There's no games at the moment aside from SSB that I care about which write data to the amiibo.

I figured as much. Still though, maybe I'll go see if they have them out so I can gauge how early I should show up.
 
Just went Amiibo hunting! (In Australia)

I was looking for Ike, Shulk and Dedede. Came home with Ike and Dedede. I don't think I'll be able to find Shulk at retail now so the online hunt begins...
 
I found a Lucario, Sheik, Ike and Toon Link this week,i managed to preorder Sonic as well, hopefully he will be delivered to me. But I've had no luck with Shulk or Little Mac at all Oh, woe is me how I wish I had a Little Mac.
 
Can I ask, what does it mean lol?

It's referencing the American football championship, the Super Bowl, which will be Feb. 1 (the same day all the Wave 3 Amiibos originally were supposed to come out in the U.S., and now it's just Rosalina's release date, with Bowser, Sheik and Toon Link releasing in one more retailer than just Toys R Us).
