I have officially joined the carnival of stupid.

But really it's just going to be these and Lucina and Charizard

and if I happen to find a Marth

and Toon Link

and if I find him, Meta Knight

and it would be silly to have MK without Kirby

 

[spyroflame0487]

Heard some rumblings from a friend that the second half of Wave 3 is going to be "online only" at Target; they're not gonna have any shelf space for them.

12-40 Rosies per store, most in mid 20s. At least at that one it was 2 per customer, so.

Take it as you will of course lol.

Well that's relieving. Might go tomorrow and see what the scalpers left behind. That is if there isn't a huge ass line cause if there is no thanks. There should really be multiple Nintendo worlds to spread out the crowd

I agree, but honestly it wasn't too terrible that day unless you got there after opening time. I waited around 2 hours to get my six, 1 outside and 1 inside.

 

[Zombine]

Oh yeah, Amazon bumped my Toon Link ship date to March :/

Welcome to the club.

 

[NMFried]

Well, I started opening mine. Still have Zelda, Cap, Bowser, Mac and Samus sealed though. Not sure why. Marth is on his way, along with Wave 3 sans Sonic, Metaknight and Rosalina.

 

[-Horizon-]

*pat pat* Look what you guys did! Take it back! It's ok Horizon we'll get Lucina

Please sir, may I have a Lucina preorder?

 

[Thoraxes]

Rumor has it we may be getting wave 3 stuff sans MM/Sonic at Gamestops in the Midwest around mid-late next week sooo

So right on schedule.

If I had an extra Fox, I would so open it. Curse you B&H.

 

[eudaemonic]

Are you freaking kidding me. This is ridiculous. I might throw in the towel with US figures. I'll just keep ordering from overseas and collect those instead. How is it so easy for me to order as many Amiibo I want from overseas and actually receive them but I can't even get one US figure? Horri-freaking-ble

I'm waiting for a French Rosalina and as long as I see she comes in okay, I may go that route for the next wave if I'm not lucky enough to catch when the preorders go up.

You talked to a TRU person in store? Or called customer service? I'm going to call about my order soon. Thanks

I did the live chat with a rep. They were really cool about things. They assured me though that from looking at my order number that everything was cool... it just doesn't look like it from the consumer side messaging.

 

[NMFried]

I know right?! I had an order for Marth, WFT and Villager from B&H.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

Guess if entertainment earth doesn't pull through, I'll cancel that order of Pit, C Falcon and Little Mac

 

[Interface23]

So right on schedule.

Mid-Late next week is a week early, not on schedule according to our email lol.

 

[Byron Bluth]

Canada news!

My local EBgames received my wave 3 pre-orders (Toon Link, Bowser, Ike and King Dedede). Sonic and Megaman aren't there though, they say its reported for now.

Sonic and Megaman the new Pit and Falcon?? ..

No. Mega Man and Sonic are delayed in NA. No one will have them tomorrow.

 

[Koren]

I'm waiting for a French Rosalina.

A french one? I'm french, and I had to order a german one, because I couldn't find a "french" one ^_^

I wonder where you found such a rarity ^_^

Man, this is *so* twisted.

 

[Fandangox]

Rumor has it we may be getting wave 3 stuff sans MM/Sonic at Gamestops in the Midwest around mid-late next week sooo

Including Shulk? This includes Shulk right?

May as well get Dedede to complete the Kirby trio.

And Jigglypuff for the gen 1 pokemon.

Then hey, why not get Lucario and Greninja?

Then omg have you seen the quality of Fox, Pit and Bowser? Irresistible. Actually, Rosalina and Mega Man are pretty sweet too.

Fuck it just get them all.

Ike seems to be one of the hardest to find Amiibo in New Zealand, I got the only one that my EB Games got in stock. JB Hi Fi had none, but they did have a Shulk sitting on the shelf. There weren't enough Ikes in the country to cover preorders apparently, a friend had his Ike preorder from MightyApe cancelled.

I am so happy my Ike from Mightyape got sent yesterday. I don't know what I'd do if I had to go hunt one down elsewhere.

 

[Thoraxes]

Mid-Late next week is a week early, not on schedule according to our email lol.

Oh I mixed up Bowser being on the 6th and the ones due around the 13th lol.

However, if they come in the same time as Bowser did from his release date, I guess that's right on schedule.

 

[esmith08734]

Yeah, this was from an order placed immediately after they canceled the first Lucario presale and sent out the email with the code to get them for 10.99 to make up for their error. I'm guessing a lot of these are backordered. I asked if I was the 100th amiibo chat they've had today and they laughed and said yeah, it's mostly been about the amiibos.

You could try but also be aware that I've seen people reporting on social media some store have people waiting in line already. >.>

This is nuts. Like... day after Thanksgiving nuts.

Really? WTF. Forget that.

 

[Hazu]

Wow I just got Rosalina and Lucario from Play-Asia and the packaging was just awful! This is the last time I order anything from this website.

Glad I have extra copies preordered from Amazon.de...


So pissed

 

[punkmaggit]

Just picked up the last Bowser, Sheik, Pit, and a Link from my local TRU. Completely stoked that I found them all! Still looking for Toon Link.

 

[Like the hat?]

Wish I knew why Amazon wasn't shipping my toon link until the end of feb

 

[DooD1234]

Err, you're not going to go yandere are you?

 

[O.v.e.rlord]

Any pics? Sorry that happened though

 

[Jomjom]

What's the consensus here on the best way to fix Link's flaccid sword? Soak in boiling water, straighten, and then run under cold water?

 

[LostAnkh]

I know right?! I had an order for Marth, WFT and Villager from B&H.

Just like me, except I had an extra Fox and Pit.

 

[TheSuperSakura]

Not sure if it was already posted or not but Amazon has the Mario Party amiibo back in stock, but Toad isn't available already again.

 

[O.v.e.rlord]

Please sir, may I have a Lucina preorder?

At least we have Figmas

 

[sphinx]

so I was curious and searched "amiibo Rosalina" in ebay.com

Ok what the fuck is going on??

we've been hearing plenty of reports here about Rosalina being in decent supply everywhere, more so than other figurines... why are people panicking?

It's probably second account boosting up the bids. Why people can't wait until Sunday or Monday?

Because the average shopper isn't on Reddit or Gaf checking up on the amiibo news every day.

 

[Ryfferr]

There weren't enough Ikes in the country to cover preorders apparently, a friend had his Ike preorder from MightyApe cancelled.

It seems to be that the only sure-fire way you're gonna get amiibos here in NZ is to preorder them from EB Games. Mightyape didn't get enough to fulfil their preorders, I heard that either JB Hifi wasn't taking preorders or that they did but it was limited. EB Games being a corporation I can assume are the "main" priority regarding amiibo distributions.

 

[LostAnkh]

Because the average shopper isn't on Reddit or Gaf checking up on the amiibo news every day.

But they at least have one social media account or more. It's a powerful tool that they aren't utilizing.

 

[sphinx]

besIdes, I don't know where people got the idea that precisely Rosalina was going to be the rare amiibo in that wave.

I really wonder who started the rumor. there's no evidence that it's going to be rare at all but every single auction I see makes sure to put "ULTRA MEGA RARE!! SOLD OUT IN THE WHOLE PLANET!!! BBUUUUUUUUUUUYYYYYY IIIIT!"

 

[Lee Chaolan]

eee, wish us all luck if Lucina goes Yandere waifu on us xD

 

[ThisBeJason]

TRU US Lucario update:
- Called customer service, their systems are showing my online order for shipping to my house is 2/1. I placed the order on Dec 9th, was cancelled, then reinstated.

BB US Meta update:
- Called customer service and the dates in their system still show 12/31/2015. Can anyone provide proof in their email of Meta's true release date? I remember someone posted 1/30 or something like that.
- Mega Man also showing 12/31/2015
- 12/31/2015 basically means they don't know when it'll be released

 

[Curler]

...there's no way that people are lining up for Lucario. NO WAY. ...right?

Also crazy how EB Canada is getting their stocks before GS USA. Yup, it's Jakks Pokemon figures all over again!

 

[Lee Chaolan]

DO NOT MAKE ME RESURRECT YOUR PARENTS ONLY TO KILL THEM AGAIN BRUCE!

Looks like I found ra's al ghul hidden on here. You can't hide from me now ;D

People are dumb and scared right now. Hence the pricing.

 

[georly]

Store opens at 10 am, i'm lining up at 9:30 am. If there are more than 10 people in line, i'm turning around and leaving and calling it quits. I'll then check back with this thread from time to time to see if lucario is easily available or not.

I'll be at target as soon as they open on sunday, as well.

 

[esmith08734]

Wow, I guess this is being taken that seriously. I am probably not going to stop by tomorrow. I kind of want a break from playing Smash anyway.

 

[spyroflame0487]

Coming to a store near you this weekend.

We'll all have fun
in hell

Man, this is *so* twisted.

I'm sorry! Amazon.fr sold it to me! I went that route after the fiasco with Target's online pre-orders. Figured it'd freak people out and I didn't wanna fight some crazy person in a parking lot (I'm more of a bike racks kinda girl).

...there's no way that people are lining up for Lucario. NO WAY. ...right?

Robert Workman apparently found one. https://twitter.com/TheDCD/status/560907080995840000

Wish he took a pic though.

 

[Blues1990]

I apologize if this has already been asked, but has there been any updates for the release date for the Meta Knight Amiibo in North America? I'm considering visiting my Best Buy first thing tomorrow morning, as I don't want to miss out on him.

 

[Horohoro]

Had no idea Bowser was already out. What's the scoop on him? Plenty of him to find?

Saw 2 on shelf at my local gs this afternoon.

 

[ZiggyPalffyLA]

My Fox came in the mail today! My updated collection:

 

[RkOwnage]

Several pages back I put up some extra amiibos I had for sale, I know people have PM'd me, I want you to know I haven't forgotten about you, just had some personal stuff come up. Going to be going through my PMs when I get home and I'll answer everyone who pm'd me back.

I hope everyone's wave 3 hunts go well!
