News for you, friendo!

Holy crap! I imported for no reason. Oh well at least they make perfect gifts and painting alts. At least I have peace of mine that I have them already.

Though I'm curious when they say limited quantities. Limited quantities like Majora's Mask CE? Like Marth and Villager Amiibo? Is there any news on the Wii U Gamecube Adapter also?
 
I'm gonna show up at my Target 10-15 minutes before open on Sunday. It's a small town area so I'd honestly be surprised if anyone is there before opening. We'll see. I want a Rosie because I want every Mario universe character, but she's not on my must have list.

Nintendo hasn't said anything, but they were in stock on amazon.ca for about 30 minutes last week.

Amiibos are on my MUST have list.

Same here. I'm not in too big of a town, though it does get populated when college students are around in the fall (not as much now in the winter), so I think I'll have a decent chance of getting her. & I wouldn't mind her, but if I had to choose an exclusive retail amiibo, it'd be Meta Knight....or Shulk. But I do feel like she could be useful in the future, being part of the Mario line.
 
Every Super Mario series Amiibo except Toad is in stock on US Amazon.

thank you so much! I'd been out of this thread for the past weekish, and totally missed the preorders :'( luckily I was able to snag em all (except toad, alas)! So mario is exclusive to the Mario Party 10 bundle for a while, right?
 
Holy heck if true will not sleep saturday to sunday night if true...

ALSO i went to target to pick up sheik they said they can't sell it till the 1st was street dated in register... How is everyone else bypassing this?
I went there, they scanned it, there was no street date in the system, then they sold it to me.
 
I plan on collecting them all. Call me crazy because I am, I still haven't given up hope!



Yeah. Also, if you have GCU you can snag MP10 and the Mario amiibo for $48, which is a damn good deal.

That is what I am waiting for (the Best Buy Mario Party listing) They were slow to get Kirby up at the right price too
 
Ordered all the Mario Bro Miibos off Amazon. Prob going to do GS orders as well, because I'd rather pick up in person.

I'm not sure I trust the 59.99 version comes with the Mario Amiibo it says nothing about it at all....
 
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.

EB has good stock for pre orders. Mighty Ape have free pre orders so sometimes they oversell or people order ridiculous amounts because they don't have to deposit and cancel at will.

Don't try and find things in store. Pre order at EB. Bite the bullet and pay the deposit. Safest bet.

Ike and Shulk seem to be the only ones that are very rare. Dedede and Meta Knight were on Mighty Ape for release day.
 
woohoo was able to add Rosalina from amazon.ca when it was still temporary out of stock! thanks gaf!!! Checked the page again and its already gone

EBgames definitely safest bet, and when you pick them up from the store you can ask them to price match from other retail stores.
Also if you call JB Hi Fi on the morning they come out you can ask them to hold some for you but they will only hold them till the end of the day and they can also price match.
 
Hello Amiibros first post on this thread and relatively new on neogaf. My current situation is I have completed wave 1&2 scalper free. Got most of wave 3 pre order but I will be on the hunt for Rosalina. I have extras I want to give out to some of you but it will have to wait after the coming madness. Those extras are two villagers, diddy and little mac. Each of those come with a story especially the villagers.

Here are what the other 2 Toys R Us stores around San Francisco had to say regarding Lucario.

San Mateo: Pre-orders only.
Redwood City: They're delaying the release to Monday.

Basically if you're in the bay area, you are probably not going to be getting Lucario.

Yeah, that's what San Mateo told me last week too. Did they say they would be selling them tomorrow for preorders at least?

Oh dear lord how can I go about getting this villager. NA version?

(Also welcome, amiibro :) )
 
I think I'm gonna bite the bullet and pre order Mario Luigi Peach and Toad.

Going to be more picky with this line though. I'll pass on Yoshi, Bowser and when the time comes Rosalina because I have and prefer the Smash ones. And I'll skip Daisy, Wario and Waluigi because I don't care about them.

I hope they go into enemies and stuff though. I want Koopa, Shy Guy and Boo amiibos.

By "give", do you mean sell, or for free? I wouldn't mind the Little Mac one.

Either way, welcome to the community! If you're hunting for Rosalina, keep an eye out on Sunday. I'm hoping to nab one myself & give it away to someone on here via contest!
