Yeah, that makes sense. I just wonder what's going on with Sheik in regards to Best Buy NYC.

Edit: I'll wait. NWS availability had me excited. Didn't realize the weather wasn't great there (only raining here in GA) ... kinda knee jerk "WANT!" comment.

They were posted here last night. He looks kinda weird, compared to the original CG. His limbs are chubby, particularly his arms, and they're also wider out than the should be (the arms). Still getting him, of course, just looks kinda off. I guess if they gave him thinner limbs, it'd ruin the figure's integrity.

Ha, awesome. I like that approach. Simple, but effective at deflecting the dreaded mass purchasers.Stopped by Best Buy after paying off my Shulk at Gamestop and was surprised to see this.
I think it's pretty cool that they are doing this. Btw of all the wave 3 Amiibos the only one they had left was Bowser and they had tons of him...

Take that, scalpers. Right in the little mac.
Look what just came in today!
My fiance just came in dancing with them. Hhaa. We both agree that Dedede might be the best Amiibo to date (the quality is insane). Meta Knight too. Wow.
Damn right King Dedede is the best, just look at those glorious pecks.
Seriously, when you pick him up you will be amazed by the quality. The textures are wow.

Pointless to limit when they don't even get any to put on the shelf...I've never seen an even "sort of rare" amiibo on the shelf...the stores seem to only get enough for preorders.

I just checked mine too, it looks like my preorder for Sonic is showing as closed.

Agree'd. Love the Dedede amiibo I got. The hammer looks so awesome, and I like the shiny trim to his coat.

I go away for a weekend and new thread is already almost to 100 pages.
Traveled around on Sunday and didn't see any Rosalina's or any other new ones. I assume all the retailer exclusive ones are hard sold out now and I gotta go to a scalper for them?

They probably don't put any on the shelf because they are limited. Anyone can just take them all and go to the front checkouts. I'm guessing they are keeping it in the back or some place locked up where you have to ask for them.

Would make more sense that way, yes.

No...they just aren't getting any extras...the two Best Buys I go to in Best Buy home state Minnesota, beyond wave 1, have NEVER had any extras of the rarer amiibos. Shiek for example (and prior to that, Pit and Little Mac) they only got enough in to fulfill preorders and that was it...
Look what just came in today!

Gah. How much was all that? I need a Meta Knight so bad with Best Buy seemingly going to screw it up.
yeah my buddy that works there told me they didn't put those 3 on the shelf the first day, they had them at a table with someone sitting there. Sheik and Toon Link sold out, Bowser did not so on the shelf he went
Insert gotta go fast joke here with everyone running to the store.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be posting as much today. Not sure if you guys heard, but Monty Oum over at RoosterTeeth just passed away. Me and my brother used to bond over watching RoosterTeeh videos when we were younger. For all the bullshit that my family is, I love my brother and remember those times.
This fuckin sucks. Talk about a complete turn around in seconds. Was so happy, now I feel so awful. Going to call my brother now and make sure he's okay. Fuck.
Detolf Case is $65 (best deal you can get for a case, the material is really quality and it's a big case):
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10119206/
Azar Acrylic Stairs $23:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0083R3DHO/?tag=neogaf0e-20
So roughly $95. Then I also bought $20 worth of lights. But I need to buy some LED strips.

Nice. Probably missed it but what kind of plastic stands are those?
Edit: Oh it's not plastic. My bad. But wow 23 dollars... Hmm I need to get some eventually though. Thanks for the info.

My Dedede is of poor build quality. Not impressed.
The Kirby characters look amazing. That Sakurai bias.Look what just came in today!

Just linked in the post above me! But I'll post them again below. Here are some other pics of my display..is you missed those (to those that have seen them before, sorry for re-posting again):

I own the Fabrikor. Love it. Love the style and everything. It's perfect for putting in LED light strips. It does let very little dust though, probably my dusty room's fault I dont know. Very little dust. In thinking of putting very thin rubber lining on the door's edges to prevent dust as that's the only place the dust can really come in. Here's a pic of my collection (i haven't opened up my Toon Link, Bowser, and a few Wave 1 commons yet)
In the US he hasn't arrived at ANY stores yet. Current expectation / best guess is February 13th.

They're not street dated, just have an ETA of 2/13, but it could be sooner, as Bowser was sold the day before the ETA of 1/30. Just stay in touch with your local store and you'll have a chance.

TRUs plan to dump Lucario worked. I got 2 in store pickups because they cancelled my online orders. Then they apparently reinstated 1 online order and I forgot I panic ordered an eBay one from them for ridiculous shipping cost. He is not my favorite and I ended up with 4 in total due to their shitty system. Fortunately I know enough people in the area that got hosed by them that I can give them to local SC Amiibros but what a system they have. I really hope Wave 4 preorders being delayed while they sell off exclusives to retailers again is a rumor. None of those have worked out very well.

My online order is showing as Open still.
I believe the only people who have had their orders closes are those who had them for in store pick up.
Nothing substantial yet.
Yup. I posted before your edit... and then I editted.. Lol. Thanks again for the info though. Hoping to buy this stuff some point down the line.
Good luck getting through this with you and your brother. Didn't know what RoosterTeeth was until I googled it but dang... that guy was young.. 33. Condolences to his family.
I wish I could get these in Europe for a fair price. Would love to have them.
Is Nippon-Yasan where most of you guys are importing your Metaknight a from? Never imported before, what can I expect as far as arrival dates and shipping fees?
Without tracking it can get as low as 5 euros. According to friends it usually takes about 2 weeks once your package is shipped. Mine was shipped a week ago so I hope to see it next week. My first time ordering there.

How can they even allow retailer exclusives with such a small Wave?
There are only 6 for Wave 4, if they make half or more exclusive then we are fucked. Or they will announce 4 more that are exclusive
Go in store today. Print out your order. If they pull it up, just pay them off now in store (so the order is paid off).
Pick up in store just put the order in their computer. But it shows up as having ZERO on the amount. GS basically expect people to go at some point before release, and put money down on it. Those that have in store pre-orders with money down, are going to be prioritized.
If you can wait till March, I'm willing to buy you these and ship them 100% free. I got hit with an $8k bill im fighting from my insurance (for my surgery last week). Money isn't usually an issue for me. But my insurance fucked me over. I could pay it, but it drains me of all my money I had for this month. And I still have that Japan trip too + I bought an engagement ring I'm surprising my fiance with in Japan. Sigh.
But next month when I have nothing to pay for and I have all my money freed up (with nothing I have to pay for), I'll totally order these and send them out to you. What I need is:
I. A PM with your shipping address..
II. You need to measure the width of wherever you are going to put these (they are 12 inch in width, and are bigger than they look. They make 9 inch versions, so let me know which one's you need 9inch or 12 inch).
Thanks.
That's a good thing, don't worry. Means they are processing.
I believe this means nothing more than they'll be available for pickup.
