I stopped at Target and found a Fox. The back cardboard piece is pretty banged up,I bought it for a friend. But he ended up already finding one.

I can return it (I don't need 2). But would anyone be interested in it? Still looking for a villager
 
Little Mac is really trolling me today.
He's been up on Amazon for $12.99 for like the past two hours!! But it always says he's gone when I go through checkout...
 
My walmart experience was flawless, but I ordered 2 from them in different situations so they came on a box.

a spare link and yoshi I ordered from the had the backing bent and yoshi was half open.
In fact of the last 18 things ordered from them 1 was ok... And that was dvd...

Pit I ordered from Walmart came in a properly sized box with inflated plastic balloon thingies to keep the amiibo from moving around. Package was in perfect condition

Wow so many good stories im having a hard time giving them a second chance maybe its just my closest distribution center that sucks.
 
I haven't actually played much smash bros lately since I hate using the gamepad with it and couldn't find the GC adapter. Got my mayflash in today, gonna have to rip open one of these and try it out.
 
So now i'm hearing from a bunch of collectors and stuff that TRU is putting out Lucario tomorrow. I don't wanna drive up 35 minutes and waste gas on BS, but at the same time, i want it. I don't get why its so hard for stores to just have firm dates...

I am going in because I had pre-ordered and that is when the email said he would be available starting on the 30th.
 
Got a paper in my mailbox yesterday to go get a package at my nearest mail drop spot.

The sweet smell of Rosalina and Lucario is in the air! :D
 
Good lord, I am done with Toys R' Us!

I ordered Pit and Lucario on December 24th for $10.99 each as an "apology" price for them cancelling my previous Pit. Pit never shipped and, in the meantime, I found one at a Gamestop a couple weeks ago. I kept the order, though, because I wanted to make sure I got Lucario and I couldn't cancel the order without cancelling both.

Well, last week, I got an email from them stating that my in-store Lucario would be available for pickup. I should have cancelled my online order at that time, but didn't.

Two days ago, I got an email stating that Pit was being prepared for shipment. I could no longer cancel the order. However, TODAY, I got another email saying that Pit is delayed. At that point, I was able to cancel the full order, so I did.

JUST NOW I got an email stating that PIT has shipped! I check the order and, not only did they not refund me for the Lucario half of the order that I cancelled, they CHARGED me for Pit and then charged me AGAIN for Pit AND Lucario. So I'm basically paying $35.28 for Pit.

I'm sure I'll be able to get it taken care of but, after I get my Lucario in store tomorrow, I am never going to Toys R Us again.

That's absolutely fucking ridiculous. I'd fight over that, honestly.

Tomorrow is the date for Lucario at Toys R Us, yes, that is confirmed to be in the TRU computers.

Perhaps this is worth reposting. It'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.

Also, for Canadians, EBGames will have every Amiibo but Rosalina, Mega Man and Sonic on Jan. 30, but in limited quantities. There aren't enough Shulks and Sheiks to satisfy all preorders, but the rest of the preorders will be fulfilled later in February. There only will be enough Ikes and King Dededes for preorders. There will be enough Bowsers and Toon Links for "limited walk-ins."

*But in Canada, Rosalina no longer is exclusive to Target, reportedly. Now she'll be in every retailer that normally sells Amiibos, but the release dates are unknown as of now and may vary from retailer to retailer.
 
PSA

Super Mario Peach and Yoshi are back up.
Per nowinstock.txt

Make that Peach, Yoshi, and Luigi at amazon. Mario Partt line.
Go go all who missed out earlier.

Might want to mention that with the exception of Mega Man and Sonic, EBGames is getting them in stock tomorrow.
 
So does that mean you can go into tru and get lucario even if you didn't preorder?

I bought one from their eBay store, but I doubt I'll actually get it since they have a shitload of negative feedback.

My gf has approved my plan (and will accompany me!) to go to Target before it opens Sunday so I can try for Rosalina :D. I have other stuff I need to get so it won't be completely in vain if it doesn't work out anyway.

Just looked back through a bit, but must've missed it...are all Targets getting Rosalina in store on Sunday or do you just have an in at a local store?
 
My plan is to be at one store while calling another and asking for them to hold one...
Actually as its on sunday I might be able to go to two anyway one opens at 8 the other opens at 9....

Yeah, that's a good plan. The folks at my target were happy to hold Sheik for me, and it sounds like he's far more limited per store than Rosalina, so you should be good.
 
Went to a Target and talked to a guy who seemed to know what he was talking about, but then he told me that his boss wouldn't allow him to sell it unless their was an official statement saying targets had them now.

I tried searching for something but to no avail. I think he also said that Sheik was supposed to be sold on the 13th? Is there any truth to what he's saying? I'm kinda scared to go to this target now for Rosalina on sunday...

In the US at GameStop everyone besides mega man and sonic can show up any time between tomorrow and the 13th, and MM/Sonic anytime until the 20th

At Target I heard Sunday for Toon Link/Bowser/Sheik/Rosalina
