because NoA is the most incompetent branch out of all of them.

Perhaps the Nintendo-Amazon feud extends to Amiibo, and Amazon is actually getting their stock by sending warehouse employees to the local Wal-Mart.

I will stab you for a Little Mac Zonic, don't play. I still can't believe I got screwed out of one 4 times haha
How do you check?Maaaan my Toon Link and Mega Man amiibos got delayed to March 2 by Amazon
I didn't see anything on the page or in my order information.

Correct, these are NA. It was a christmas miracle when I found them at wal mart of all places. I did not found two rather four not in the Amiibo section but on top of the beats display. My friend has the other two, he plans to use them this weekend for his hunt to bargain with. Like I said I will think of something after this weekend how to share them but if my hunt fails I will most likely trade.
I believe so. Just said it was pre-sold out already when I asked if they were selling them tomorrow.

Anyone going out to Toys R Us in the morning and try to grab Lucario when they open?
I have classes that end right at 9:50 am so I can make it time for when they open.

ok in all seriousness, why does anyone want a toad amiibo? not only is he doodoo, he doesn't do anything.
Not seeing the bundle on best buy
Is GameStop taking preorders for wave 4 or smb line yet?
Imagining this is hilarious.
He is compatible with captain toad and unlocks a extra minigame on every level, also he is the only Super Mario amiibo su far who has not a Smash version.
Amazon are weird. I got an email saying Bowser and Sheik were coming march 2nd and then nothing about anyone else. While some people say they've also gotten that email but it also included other characters like Toon Link and Megaman. There was also someone on here who said their amazon Bowser shipped.
I really have no clue what's going on with them. I know they'll get me my orders eventually but it sucks knowing they're the last to cross the finish line. I've been buying the ones I run into in store and then canceling my amazon orders for those ones.
I really wish they would fill us in on what's going on.
Wait what. He does? Unggggg.
I can't make any promises, but I'm definitely open to the idea. Mega Man and Sonic should be in next week.

I just wish he was captain toad.
Toad is the tits, plus he functions with Captain Toad and Mario Party

I am going to try...the closest TRU around me said they only have 2 that are not for preorders so I am going to go to one a little further away. Mainly I am doing that because when I went to all of them on Tuesday it was the only one with wave 3 left over so I am hoping it is not a hotspot lol.
Ahh I see. I'll check my email when I get home then.
This kinda sucks because I would've ordered MegaMan from Gamestop back when I had the chance if I knew something like this would happen.

It would explain why they never run out of Peach and Donkey Kong.

oooh definetly down for mega man. I'm assuming they charge 14.14 total or do they charge more? Wouldn't be surprised since they like you to charge you up the ass for everything in Manhattan(which is why I don't like going over there)
also cmon guys, toad is lame.
Awesome! Whatever method you decide to distribute them by, can I call dibs on the Villager? I should be able to trade most anything.
Yeah, it's 14.14. I know what you mean though, Manhattan is rough when it comes to prices.
I would if mandatory overtime wasn't posted D:
That actually took longer than I expected.

Well this is a surprise!
I am getting my Toon Link and Sheik from Best Buy.com potentially tomorrow! Arrival says tomorrow at the end of the day. People who have ordered through BB check your emails!

Well,
I think it's about time I walked away for some time too. I realized that I did what I didn't want to do, and that was buy anything and everything when it came to amiibo. Believe it or not, I only wanted Fox, Pikachu, and Link but now I have thirteen. I believe this goes hand in hand with my attempt at taking a small break from Smash Bros.
I don't mean to take up attention; I just wanted to thank you all. You truly are some of the better people I have met online. I hope some of my generosity (giving away a new Fox for free and help create Azula's original Google Spreadsheet) is passed forward. It was really fun to do this with you all.
I can't say I am done for good but can say I am checking out for the time being.
Thanks for everything! I am only making this post to put the spotlight on you guys. You deserve it. You are all wonderful people and wish you luck with your hunts!

first of all, he's a captain
second, he runs hella fast and picks up vegetables quickly
finally, he's the best character in mario kart 64. that's enough for me.

You'll be back. They always come back.
Proof: I said the same thing. You're here for life.

I think it's safe to say the 5 stages of grieving can be applied to amiibo hunting.
It's getting the the point where I need to accept I'll never find a Rosalina in the UK without paying more than £20...
The same thing will probably happen with Meta Knight and Dedede also. I should've preordered as early as possible instead of thinking I'd be able to walk in and get any like with wave 1 and 2. I just prefer "inspecting" them for bad paint jobs before I buy them.

you know whats the most bizarre part? these are targeted towards kids and theres not even any instore unless they want fucking mario, peach, yoshi, pika, or luigi. must be really disappointing that a kid can't just go into toys r us and get lucario or something cause all the scalpers bought em.

I called today and asked about my pre-order and the clerk immediately started apologizing that some people got text messages but they didn't get them in and it was a mistake. I was like... whoa there. It's cool. I didn't get a text, I just wanted to make sure what day he'd be in. So far he's been told they won't get them in till the 13th. He didn't sound happy with it seeing that it's also the new3DS launch day.

For anyone in the city, J&L game in NYC has a bunch of amiibos in stock. I got a Fox from them about a month ago and they were really nice people. It was a really cool shop and they even had New 3DS imports for sale. I wanna go back and get me a Marth and Villager :/

Why does NYC get all the amiibo?
Yep, gonna drop my girlfriend off at TRU on my way to work (well, she'll probably hang out at the nearby McDonald's until TRU opens). We've got a Lucario there with my name and her phone number on it, LoL

Nope, I had to pay $24.99 for my Fox amiibo. Not sure what they're charging for the trinity.
