My Future Shop order for Meta Knight better not fuck up! It's my only chance now.

I'm never getting Toon Link, am I? 
Amazon, why do you have to be like this?
Also why do my favorite Smash character have to be so rare? Ganondorf and Doc are going to probably be obscenely rare to find, especially the latter...

Toon Link seems to more common to uncommon at the moment. I would keep popping your head and store and buy it if you seen him. Not like Amazon has charged you yet.
Sheik is the one you have to be worried about if you want her as well.

Toon Link isn't rare in the slightest. Relax.

Online he is, though. Sold out everywhere.
I don't have a car, so popping into random stores to check is extremely difficult and most of the time impossible. I do 99% of my shopping online.

Thought I should mention, Samus is down to 9 left in stock on Amazon Canada. If you want her, you should get her sooner rather than later.
There are dozens of Amiibros in this thread that would be happy to ship you one if they find it, I'm sure. Heck, I'll help if no one else steps up to the plate - last units I shipped came out to like 5$ in shipping, so just consider that at MAX it would be Toon Link + Tax + Shipping. But then you don't have to stress about it. There are tons of options as long as you work within the community.
Gamestop told me the 13th but i've been reading it might be a bit earlier? I'm not too sure.
Already got Bowser from them in-store.
lol this is why I don't do the international thing. Except some bulk Japan orders >.>
I ordered ship to store so yeah well see...

Can't wait to get Ganon and ZSS. Those are the two I 100% want from that list, but man, I bet Dark Pit is gonna look sweet. Also interested to see what Duck Hunt and Dr. Mario look like.

Best buy shipping is pure garbage. They've shipped things to me in a vacuumed sealed vinyl bag with zero protection.
I'll never order anything online from BB again. Even store pickup is risky with asshole employees selling your shit or not pulling it from the floor until you arrive.

I guess it depends on your distribution center; for instance, I ordered Luigi from Best Buy and he shipped alone. He came in a small box with bubble packaging and was in perfect condition.
Pretty positive there won't be any extra Meta-Knight in America either. Don't qoute me in it but I really don't think Meta-Knight is getting a high run.

I want Duck Hunt so bad, but knowing my luck the little bastard is going to be exclusive to like Babagges or something. I'll have to time travel back to when that store used to be a thing just to find out that he's already been scalped. Either that or he'll be exclusive to some mom and pop shop in Iraq.

? I need to look back in the thread for this Rosalina news. Hoping to find one in Target this Sunday.

Amiibros before Lucarios.
Right, guys?
Right, guys?
Seriously?! Why are they making this difficult for everyone?
I guess my best chance now is to ask someone in the New York area to secure a Meta Knight Amiibo for me. Or is there a less painful option?

I'm still holding out for this ToysRUs Ebay order I made months ago lol
I'm not terribly attached to a Lucario Amiibo, but I would like to receive what I ordered (and I think was charged for already)
Well I'm not getting a Lucario, so yeah! Rock on!
Anyway, my Rosalina, Meta Knight, and Ike shipped this morning. They should get to me around my birthday (February 10)! Woohoo!

I live in the royal Oak area and there's 2 TrUs within 30 min of each other from my house. I wasn't planning on going hunting today, but my work called me for something and woke me up early, so since I'm already awake I'll go check them out and pick up some Lucarios if I see some. I'm not looking for one myself, but I'll gladly pick some up for y'all.

Ugh those pics of the Link from Best Buy freak me out. I have the 4 exclusives all coming via mail.
A company doing this is completely stupid in my books. No matter the supposed savings made from going this cheap.

*sigh* Today's the day to go get my Lucarios from (potentially) two different stores. I'm expecting headaches, disappointment and turmoil even though I have pre-order cards and my receipts. Way too many people (on Reddit especially) goofed with Toys R Us' pre-order system by brute forcing pre-orders without the cards. I just have a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach that I'm:
A) Going to arrive and they don't have ANY of my Lucario Amiibos despite me receiving a "Come get them on the 30th!" e-mail.
B) Going to arrive and they don't have ALL of my Lucario Amiibos.
C) They're going to tell me that I can only have 1 or 2 despite having several pre-order cards.

That would be splendid! I have things to trade for it as well! (pit and falcon)
I wanna call my local TRU but I know theyre not gonna go in the back and look, and if they do have extras, i doubt they would hold it for me.

WTF!!!!!!! Toad amiibo page on Amazon is missing!!!
Crazy hopeful speculation time! Hopefully this means a restock is coming along with wave 4!
It appears all the Amiibos in the Super Mario Line have been removed at the moment.
I'd help you with Rosalina, but I think Belgium -> Spain shipping would get you a higher price.

That would be stellar. I have a Little Mac to trade, or otherwise I can just buy one off you.
Came to post this, £10.85...go,go,go!

Haven't received a shipment email of my Lucario pre order at TRU but never received a cancellation neither. Anyone else on the same boat?
Yea my online Lucario pre-order is sitting in limbo as well

Hope this means it just wasn't shipped yet and nothing more.

Just pulled into TRU me and 2 other cars so far. Might get rowdy.

Same here. I'm going to stop by my TRU after work and see if they have any Lucario left. With my luck, they would be sold out before the morning is out. At least I still have my TRU preorder, whenever they decide to ship.

I also have sonic and sheik pre ordered with them when they sent the codes to emails. Hope those are good.
Ok just an update.
Still no movement on any of my wave 3 pre-orders with the exception of a text about Bowser from Gamestop (which I'm gonna call before I head over there), and a shipment notification for Toon Link from Best Buy, and Rosalina from Target.
Still no word on any of the other ones for me.
