All these OT3 titles are too NA focused.

Complaining without offering a solution is whining. Offer something clever and witty like everyone else.

Edit: Furthermore, it just isn't true. Look at any of Bumblebee Cody's suggestions, the one someone else submitted regarding Sakurai, etc. There are some globally encompassing suggestions across the board.

There's a very simple solution. Vote Diggeh!

Also you missed the avatar I made you like 40 pages ago. :P

So I guess I'm kinda screwed at getting an Ike and Shulk figures?

Amazon France/Germany or calling Toys R Us first thing every morning might be your best way to get Ike all honesty. Getting Shulk the conventional way is probably a lost cause for the time being since not even Amazon Fr/De has up for order.

Yeah I like that one.



Anyway, after having these wave 3's for 24 hours now, I've gotta say that Bowser is far and away my favourite. The highest quality figure yet. Wave 3 as a whole is much better looking than wave 1 though.

I think yours is better than mine amiibro, but mines here on my UK amiibros website :) http://www.amiibros.co.uk

Took me time to get the letters to look half decent too!

Cool to see someone halfway across the globe had a similar idea, haha! :D

I'd be happy to send you a high-res version of my logo if you want to re-work it for your site's banner.
All I'd ask in return is a shout-out/link to my site if you decide to use it.

Shoot me a PM if you'd be interested! :)

Spike said:
No thanks necessary. I was catching up on the thread, and I just clicked your link to see what he looks like, and I saw it was open for preorders. So I sent you a PM.

I still really appreciate the tip - I was really bummed out when I thought I'd missed my chance to order one. Thanks again! :)
 
Online Order Update

Rosalina - Shipped today from Target (Thanks again TheBatman!)

Meta Knight - No shipping notice from Future Shop. Is there even a date yet for him?

Shulk - No shipping notice from GameStop USA, they say the date for USA is February 13th. Wish I preordered here in Canada, I would have been grabbing it tomorrow.

Lucario - No shipping notice from Toys R Us USA. When is the release date? Stores here in Canada say February 6th. What about USA?

Let me know what your status is on these with their retailers!
 
If anyone's interested in the MH4 New 3DS, it's available to be added to cart on GameStop. No luck with the MM one though. :/
 
Interestingly enough, there haven't been any reports of low stock of Bowser at Gamestops the past couple days. I'm guessing he's going to be the easiest to get.

Rosaaaaaalina! Woooooo!

So excited.

lol I can tell you're excited. Here's to hoping both ours show up in great condition! I'll probably just open the same exact box to get mine out then just reseal it and send that box to you. lol (I have more fluff I can throw in there to cushion it.)

Yes! Yes! For the love of.... YES!



You're funny

Jk it's when Rosalina makes her officially makes her appearance in the USA. Well her 2nd appearance if you count the imports, ok 3rd if you count NWS releasing her early...

Yeah so my Dad works at Nintendo and he told me...

I tried to make it like it was coming in from an angle and yeah...I think it worked. :)

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...

If he just scans it, the scanner will tell him 2/1 or no street date.
 
I've so far skipped on Mario, Luigi, Peach, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong and the preorder for Wario because I'm not a fan of the characters and the Smash incarnations look pretty ugly.

But now I'm thinking I want them for whatever game uses they'll have.

Can't decide if I want to get the Smash ones and go for the full Smash set, or start collecting the Super Mario line as well, when will the amiibo madness end?!

My Sheik and Toon Link have shipped from Best Buy! Has anyone else's?

They are normally late on shipping stuff. I might get it Monday!
Click to expand...

Nope. :( Still waiting for my Toon Link to ship.

I just got back my local TRU. I thought I would take a look and see if they had a Toon Link. Nothing, but the usual commons. They had a sign up that said their shipment was delayed and the Amiibo won't be available on the 30th so who knows when they'll be getting any in. I don't feel like go there every day to find out. :/

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.

No luck at my local EBs for Ike and DeDeDe :x

Fortunately, it seems they'll get a few Toon Links, and he's my favourite character.

So why is the US cut so short on supply?
Have you asked him? Is he in a position to know that or does he work for a different department?
So many questions I have for him now...

No luck in the US with those Sonic, Megaman, Shulk, Meta-Knight, Lucario...
 
The Super Mario series Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi amiibos are back up for pre-order on Amazon if anyone missed out yesterday! :D

They all come up via search or you can use my direct links on amiibros.

Dunno. Come back to me tomorrow on that. My Dad is bringing home a Mewthree and Pikablu to the my Pokemon Z game first.
 
So question about 1 per customer limits. If I went to Target, bought a Rosalina on Sunday, then waited a few hours or a day, went back, would there be something preventing me from getting another one, aside from "hope it's not the same employee"?

I remember hearing for GameStop, it can be tied to your Powerup Card if you're a member.
 
Driving from Hartford to Philly and convinced my wife (she's great) to stop at a TRU just outside of Philly to check for an early Lucario. No luck, place is flooded with commons. Was able to pick up a spare 3DS charger though so I guess it wasn't a total loss, at least I'm partly set for Feb. 13th.

Any Philly amiibros hunting for Lucario tomorrow? Back to Hartford area on Saturday. Then up bright and early to wait outside of Target on Sunday.
 
Nintendo is taking so much of my money in February.

Wave 3+Exclusives, MM New 3DS XL, MM Limited Edition and then whenever the Wave 4 preorders go up
