Did anyone see this at Toys R Us?

I did. My TRU only printed the little "Attention" part on the right bottom corner so I had no idea when Ike, DeDeDe, etc. were coming. They really should have put up the whole notice like your TRU did unless they didn't on purpose so there wouldn't be a mob there on the 13th. lol

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Shulk released Friday in Canada in limited quantities, has yet to be released Stateside I think the date is the 13th.

Lucario released Stateside yesterday but was very limited. Canada's shipment was delayed and might be here on February 6th.

Meta Knight hasn't been released, no firm date but some people are seeing the 28th.

Rosalina releases Stateside on Sunday but I've seen a few lucky souls got her Friday somehow. She is no longer an exclusive in Canada because of the Target situation and will now be split up and available at all retailers. Only one the I know of that has put preorders up for her is Amazon. Ca which sold out in like an hour.

God, what a clusterfuck of releases. Especially with Canada and US having different dates. I'll keep an eye out for lucario then but I fear he's probably cleaned out by now. Thanks!

I wonder if even though my tru sold out yesterday ifbI should go back today? Because what if theh got shipments yesterday that were ment for today? How often does TRU get shipments? Daily? No?

The one that wouldn't give me mine until today had their shipments already, they were just told my Nintendo/TRU Corporate to hold them back until the 31st.

 

[Miche]

I read that F.Y.E is taking pre-orders for Wave 4 in stores today. Won't have a car to go out and check the one near me for a few hours :/

I can got an fye a coyple minutes from me.
Ill go ask I guess.

 

[AdventureMike]

No, I'm specifically referring to Lucario pre-orders. I have no idea if they already have the shipments for the others and are just chilling in the back.

Goodluck! Let us know how it goes

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

Should I even try to go to the Target near me tomorrow morning for a Rosalina?

 

[Horohoro]

Goodluck! Let us know how it goes

It doesnt open for 2 hours though so... Opens at 10am its currently 8am CST debating if I should go back to TRU now cause of that flyer... Its on the Way to FYE but both are only minutes from me here lol.

 

[Kilvin]

You at least have to try.

Ah :/ FYE opens in an hour for me, but my car is being used to help someone move this morning. I plan on checking later as well so, I'll let everyone know how I make out.

 

[MarkMan]

Got Rosalina today in Tokyo! Screw a preorder!

 

[Fox Mulder]

My target has 12. Will also have took link, Bowser, and shiek out tomorrow.

 

[MicH]

I swear to god if Amazon UK cancels my pre-orders for wave 3b (like they did with Little Mac who is now impossible to find!) I'm gonna be mad.

 

[Horohoro]

Ill go too if you havent made it by then. Of so its cool its there both literally like 5 minutes up the road.

 

[CH4OS]

Oh cool FYE is taking wave 4 preorders.
(searches for an FYE)

Great the closest one is... 168 miles away 😣

Has anyone's Lucario shipped from TRU yet? I pre-ordered him when they did the $10 deal for the Kid Icarus screw up, but have not heard anything since.

All of us are in that boat with online orders.

 

[Zonic]

Man, I just realized all the characters I want are out on the 13th (Ike, Dedede, Shulk) or 20th (Mega Man & Sonic). Meanwhile, talked to my online friend who works at Best Buy & STILL no date on Meta Knight and he's probably gonna have to fight to get any spares with the employees. Sure hope my other friend comes through & gets Dedede and Ike discounted from Best Buy via GCU.

I seriously hope I can work by budget out. I only have Sonic pre-ordered, figuring out if I'm buying one or two Rosalina amiibo, and I'm starting to think I might not be able to afford the New 3DS XL again, despite having half the funds covered already.

 

[Son Of D]

Still no Ike from ShopTo. Never using them again for amiibo.

Also, after seeing those pictures of Shulk I'm glad I got my pre-order in for him. Looks great.

 

[SaviourMK2]

I'm prepared for tomorrow. Gonna get up early, pick up my friend and wait in the Target parking lot an hour or more early. I'm not letting this slip me up. I need at least ONE English Rosalina.

Has anyone's Lucario shipped from TRU yet? I pre-ordered him when they did the $10 deal for the Kid Icarus screw up, but have not heard anything since.

Not yet, I'm waiting too, prob won't see an e-mail until Monday, since the e-mail stated the release day at 2/1, and theres no mail on Sunday.

EDIT: In terms of Meta Knight, I somehow made a pact with the guy in charge of the department who's handling the amiibos and games, he's planning to call everyone with preorders from smallest to largest to inform them their amiibos have arrived. There's one guy who's been hassling them because he wants to know when he can pick up his 10 Meta Knights.

 

[Nathan_Drake]

Morning Amiibros. So I sent out 2 Capt and 2 Pits a couple weeks ago to people that needed them for cost, plus a box, fees and priority UPS shipping (25 bucks).

I have 2 European Marths boxed that I ordered when I got myself one. I wanted to help others out. I can do the same thing again but it will come up to 32 this time due to the cost being a bit more. Good thing is you won't have to wait for it to come from Europe.

I will ship to the first 2 that quote this. Only requirements are you must live in the US, PayPal me by tomorrow night, and really need the figure for your own personal collection. I will ship them out by Tuesday morning and you will have them by Friday or Saturday next week. Again please only accept the deal if you plan on being an Amiibro and not a scalper. No need to post after the first 2 claim. I will email the two in a bit. I truly hope this helps 2 Amiibros. I am going out today to grab Lucario and I will see if I can find any other rares.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Got Rosalina today in Tokyo! Screw a preorder!

I wish I could do that.

That's funny because Sakurai couldn't find Rosalina right? Or was it other Amiibo?

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

You at least have to try.

Jusy go super early with the rest of us.

Yeah I'm going to one after my shift tomorrow morning when they open

Maybe I'll call ahead to ask if they're getting extras...

They didnt take preorders in store everything that hits the shelf is fair game.

He was probably looking for snake.

 

[spyroflame0487]

Anyone else preorder from Gamestop in store?
I'm thinking about calling them to ask, I don't think they're gonna have my stuff in yet. I preordered Triple D, Sanic, Mega, Shulk and Ike there.

I pre-ordered Sonic from there in person & fully paid off, so of course it turns out he's the one I gotta wait the longest for.

I ordered Shulk, Sonic, Bowser and Dedede in store (paid for them all in full as well). The only one that has come in stock is Bowser which I picked up yesterday.

 

[Peagles]

Still no sign of Fox, Samus, and Link from Game UK. Shipped out December 16 so nearly at the 45 day mark. FFS...

 

[Horohoro]

Waiting to see if that flyer holds any water at TRU. Outside store now. Opens in 8 mins.
Doubting it but meh its not like it wont take a minute and if I leave with a Sonic, Ike, Megaman, or DeDeDe yall better run.

 

[IntelliHeath]

[G0523]

Did anyone see this at Toys R Us?

I did not see that at all. I just called my Toys R Us and they said that they do not have any Lucario amiibo whatsoever and to try again tomorrow or Tuesday. :/ I'm reeeeaalllly hoping my pre-order pulls through.

 

[pete_clarf]

Is Suncoast the same as F.Y.E.?

Good luck man. Let us know what happens.

 

[Horohoro]

I believe they are owned by the same company now. Not positive though but boy would I have loved to live near a suncoast back i the day...

 

[Zalman]

So I went out today to pick up Toon Link... All the ones they had had slight imperfections (bent sword, weird marks on the shield etc.) Not a big deal, but I figured I'm not in a rush so I passed on him. Then I saw a Samus that wasn't drunk. I picked that up. Then I saw Pit. I wasn't planning on getting him, but for some reason I had the strange urge to get him. So I did.

I'm going to spend so much money on these things.

 

[G0523]

Is Suncoast the same as F.Y.E.?

Nope, two different stores. Suncoast has mainly movies and TV shows and FYE has music, movies, TV shows, and random video game stuff sometimes. Is Suncoast still even a thing?

 

[melman101]

No movement on my NA Toys R Us.com ship to home orders.

Picked up Bowser, Gamestop had no one else. Rosalina is shipped, gonna go to Target tomorrow and try to nab another one. Toon Link is shipped. That's it. Still waiting on the rest.

Lucky you! What store did you go to?

 

[Zalman]

Lucky you! What store did you go to?

A local one here in Denmark. They had pretty much every amiibo so far. Finding the rare ones isn't very difficult here.

 

[pete_clarf]

They're still kicking here in Omaha! I actually worked at GameStop in the same mall years ago (2000 - 2005) and there were always rumors that us and Suncoast were going to close. They're both still there!

Ah, you must live near a store that has amiibo like that holy grail picture. Jealous!

[Mecca]

It's both a blessing and a curse to have 8 Targets within a 15 mile radius of my house. I don't know which one to go to first tomorrow for Rosalina. I'm hearing that some Targets are getting somewhere between 20 and 40 Rosalina's. I want to hit up a 40+ one, but I have no idea which one that will be. I guess I could call them all up, but for some reason I feel weird doing that.

Anyone in Bay Area, CA have any news on stock?
