Lining up at TRU tomorrow for amiibo.
Never done anything like this before.

Which one is this from? If it's from the original on the GBA then that's just scary, especially the pre-order line.

So any word on any stores getting the Sonic Amiibo this weekend? I know TRU said tomorrow then said they weren't

Definitely from the GBA. GBA had those half-sized booklets, whereas DS's were basically square.

Drove by local TRU, not a car or human around. Still going before opening.

What the hell is going on?
I was just on amazon.at and saw that the rosalina amiibo is almost 40 euros and rising, yet I see plenty of Rosalinas(and pretty much every other amiibo too) everywhere here in the shops.
I don't get it. It really seems that most people rather order overprized online than actually visit a real shop.
Did I miss anything in the last week?
edit: wait, I always thought Pikachu is a male.
and holy shit at the GBA booklet; that's really creepy

Ditto and ditto. The thing is, I don't know which store to go to... The closest two are both over 10 miles away, but in opposite directions of each other, so sadly I can't just go to one first and hit up the second as a backup... I think I might go to the slightly further one though, as it seemed a little more dead than the other last I checked. Maybe that's a good thing?

Probably just North American importers driving up the reseller prices.

Good luck tomorrow everyone, i'm hitting the sack so i can rest up before i make my journey. If i can come out with Lucario, Toon Link, Shiek, and a random common Wave 1 i don't have on the 4 for 44 deal, i'll be stoked.

Pikachus of both sexes looked identical when pokemon first came out. At some point they added a few minor differences in appearance in the pokemon games. The default classic pikachu appearance, aka that one, did in fact become the male one. The female got a heart-shaped end to the tail.

How early are you planning on going? I get off work around 7 am and mine won't open until 10 am. Kind of risky since I didn't call, but probably going to just drive over there and play my 3DS or Vita in the car until closer to opening. See if anybody starts to line up or not.
Now I am worried about my Rosalina and wether it will actually make it to me. I find it fishy there is no tracking on it... OF course the only other people who ordered from amazon.fr got it early and had tracking. I'm not sure what to think. Amiibos are stressful.
I'm in the same boat. My Rosalina was supposed to be delivered today via Amazon.fr and I didn't get a package. I'll check again tomorrow, I'll give them some time considering it's coming from France.

Amazon.ca just shipped my Bowser, Ike, Toon Link, King DeDe, and Shiek.
So excited, I should get it by today. Hopefully my Lucario amiibo comes in as well from amazon.de

Looks like one of those that ups the price. Sealed Wii games with random labels. I bet they're a rip-off.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 :/
They posted this on twitter a few minutes ago.
Funny because it's Nintendo predicting themselves.
.....and it's male.

People been saying others waiting, so figured I drive by before getting food. Sorry for updating.....
I sure hope not since I'm not waking up until an hour before they open.

Going over my Amiibo haul seeing 2 poorly made ones.
Yoshi bad paint job, and looking like pin stabbing marks on his back.
Meta Knight black marks on his mask and scratches. (Many Australian buyers confirming)

Yep, got the same marks on my Meta Knight as well... Pretty disappointing

A poverty of logical thought indeed.
Where would be the most likely place to find an Ike or Dedede Amiibo? The only places near me are a Walmart, EB Games, The Source, and London Drugs? Considering the stores around me, I'm going to assume my chances are super low but where would be the best place to check out first? I live in Canada btw.
Out of those? Walmart. Maybe The Source if they ever put 'em up on their site. The stores have shit-all in person.
Ended up buying a EU Villager off eBay, but due to the shitty CDN dollar it nearly cost $100. The only reason I bought it is because I have an Animal Crossing collection and it's the only major thing I'm missing. Fuck scalpers.
Guess I'll probably have to go buy one from scalpers (ugh). Honestly, the Amiibo situation in Canada is twice as bad as the one in the states I feel.
Where are you getting Little Mac?

Yeah cuz our dollar sucks shit too. Can't beat it if it sucks at the core to buy shit.

So wait, what did I miss in NA? Why is everyone going to TRU tomorrow now and not on Sunday? I am without a vehicle tomorrow, my wife is taking it so I can't go anywhere.

Oh crap. Shoot, the closest Toys R Us to me is 40 mins away in Grand Rapids and I can't get down there til maybe 6pm. Any Michigan amiibros or amiibettes willing to attempt to pick up an extra?

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!
Package had 3x Rosalina, 1x Lucario, and 1x Meta Knight (All Japanese import)
No email here from TRU either, I have two on order and haven't heard anything on either one.

Just to be clear on today's hunt
1. Meta Knight has no date and we shouldn't expect to see him today?
2. No Lucario preorders have shipped yet? wtf TRU? I'm going to try in store
