Welcome to AmiiboGAF! :)

We've got a few names in the running, and since the thread is ending super soon (maybe even tonight!) I might as well post them again:

Amiibo |OT3| Where release dates are made up and preorders don't matter
Amiibo |OT3| We do not have they new amiibo
Amiibo |OT3| Not even Sakurai can find them in stores

Hmmm... :o

Amiibo |OT3| I WANT them, and I NEED them! There's no difference!
Amiibo |OT3| Sir, our spice rack sales are up 1000%!

>_>?
 
OT3 But I have a preorder! Manager: I don't care.

OT3 Where all the Villagers are hidden behind snuggies

OT3 Where Peach is still in stock everywhere.

OT3 Where everything is already sold out.

OT3 Casuals beware.

OT3 Oh you had a preoder sorry let me cancel that real quick.
 
OT3 I just sold your preorder
Prolly salt in my mouth a bit with this one... TRU...

OT3 Preorder what are you not gonna Reorder?

I'm horribly salty too, I'm mentally broken after I watched that fat Babushka doll shaped fat ass (and you know I'm really fuming when I've been bullied all my life for being overweight/big and I'm using it to throw mud t someone else) waddled out with 50 fucking Lucario amiibos right in front of us and TRU honored it. Completely flipping off the rest of us in line.

OT3: Store Exclusives? More like order from Europe and Japan!
 
So like many others I have a spreadsheet tracking my Amiibos. With all the preordering mess I went through the remaining figures and marked all the ones I absolutely must get (ROB, Pac-Man, a few others.) But who am I kidding, I've been caught up in this so I'll probably expand my hunt in a heartbeat. Hell I'm preordering Fire Emblem figures and I've never even played a FE game.

I think I'm part of the problem:/
 
Anyone wanna help me find a shulk or a meta knight for a reasonable price or trade?

Also - is sonic slated to release on Sunday at Target too?

Apparently yes according to their flyer no according to everything else.... The guess is the 20th for whatever reason...

PM me if you're willing to help me with a Mega Man, I might have a lead on a Meta Knight for you when I get it.

Also, from what I've read, no one is selling Sonic until later in February.
 
Was moving some figures around and dropped Fox at about a 5 foot drop. My face as he's spiraling mid-air to the floor:

As I look to the ground about 10 seconds after I dropped it, I see he is fine.

*PHEW*
 
Yeah I don't think anyone should expect any Amiibos to appear at Target on Sunday if they aren't named Rosalina, Bowser, Toon Link, and maybe Sheik. (provided that particular Target didn't sell them early)

I have a friend who works at Target. Told me the stock came in today, 44 Rosalinas, to be sold on Sunday. Limit 1 per customer, it seems. Asked him to hold an extra one for me, but no go, unfortunately.

Geez, 5 feet is killer, but glad to know it's fine. That's a hell of a relief.

I have a mega man pre-ordered at Gamestop. I might go to target on Sunday, if hes there, ill grab an extra.

Im looking at ebay for Shulk or Metaknight and there are some "reasonable" prices, but everything is Japanese.

I cant stand the boxes they come in. Even though Ill be removing it from the boxes, im saving them for display later on. They look like complete shit IMO. I hate the smash logo in the top left and the text of the Amiibos name looks to be in a slightly different font.

I feel tempted to grab an extra Rosalina so I can trade it for a rare amiibo I may not have and I know like 3 different Target Location around my area hmm.
 
Cross posting:

I got the last Bowser at a GameStop today. I know he is considered "common", but it was the last one of the latest wave. Pretty cool. And he looks awesome!


Might be my favorite. I want to take glamour shots of my amiibo's.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Meta Knight is hopefully going to ship from Best Buy soon, so when I get it, I'd be happy to make an exchange for your Mega Man. If there's any way you could get another, I'd gladly pay you retail price + shipping for it. Same goes to anyone else who doesn't know that I'm currently trying to get 7 Mega Mans to get them custom painted in all alt colors. I'd appreciate any help I can get with this!

Bowser is so cool-looking. Love that amiibo. Can't wait to buy mine soon.
 
Give it a shot. Bring a friend so they can maybe buy one for you as well, assuming they do the limit of 1 per customer.

I have a strong suspicision they wont do 1 per customer For some reason or it will be sporatic pre store... From what I can tell mine doesmt even has rosalina im stock yet...

I would feel terrible for taking someone chance of getting Rosalina but at the same time I prevent a scalper from buying a bunch and selling it. Oh man, why stock so bad here or is demand for amiibo in the US stronger than Europe/Japan (except Mac, he unicorn tier it seems)

If i find another mega man, i will gladly help this cause.
 
So I got around to remove the rubber band that held my amiibos together for when I picked up my order. All in all: they look great. My cell phone camera is horrible so I can't do close ups right now, but here's the best I can manage. Gonna open these up when I'm ready.

 
Anybody in Australia want to help a latecomer out to some of the rarer Wave 2 stuff? I have some stuff to trade, mostly wave threes.

I posted this earlier, and it's my aim to own a Mega Man representing each one. After securing the 7 Mega Mans, I'll have to find someone to take out a commission for this, but when it's done, I'm gonna be so proud! Pics will follow, of course.
 
Well, I'm headed to bed. Got a big day, I'm competing in Apex, Smash Bros. Wii U 1v1, playing as Mega Man of course! Hope I don't get knocked out in the first round. Thanks again to everyone who welcomed me here, and to those willing to help my cause of getting 7 Mega Man amiibos for custom painted alt colors (always appreciate more help if anyone else is willing), and here's to a great OT2 and an even greater OT3, "Where the release dates are made up and the preorders don't matter"!!
