It's not at all your fault. I actually haven't had any mailing issues in a really long time, think maybe about 2 years since my last misdelivery. So naturally this had to happen, lol. :(

I wonder if someone took them off of your porch or doorstep or whatever. I've been buying and selling on eBay for 15 years. I've been buying off of Amazon for even longer than that (when they were only books) and I've only had one package get lost (a package I sent to Germany). You either have terrible luck or someone took them... or your mailperson has sticky fingers!

Lol. If I had a girlfriend that wanted Rosalina, I'd be a very happy man.

My Fiance's favorite character is Rosalina, and she wanted all the Rosie Amiibos. :P

Going to make a custom Rosalina Amiibo that is red dress w/ custom red box, and her engagement ring is going to sit on Luma. Giving it to her on our Japan trip in a couple week (we are already engaged, she just doesn't have the ring yet. Going to surprise her with that).
 
Half expecting a new Rosalina for Mario Party, hopefully alongside Daisy and Toadette... What I wouldn't give for a Shy Guy amiibo though :(

Ah man Frogstep =( I saw a WFT in store today, will try and get it for you if it's still there tomorrow and Fox but can't recall if it was there, be willing to ship it to you (from the UK) if all goes well and it's still there tomorrow.

Will PM you for details of I manage.

What a good soul you are. Pls do make sure to require signature upon delivery this time

I think it's considered the general Mario line rather than for Mario Party specifically. I mean the Mario spinoffs all use the same library of models.

This is why I chose to get the Smash Wario as I can bet with 100% certainty the Mario series one will use his standard attire and I'm sure a Wario Ware series of Amiibos is unlikely (though I'd be really happy if one was made).
Click to expand...

I just don't like Wario enough, I probably won't get the Amiibo and I'll regret it for some odd reason in the future. Maybe I'll grab one when Canadian sites have it up.

It is feasible though because the system is already in place. Amazon US does place limits on certain things, just like they did with toad. I was only able to buy two. The UK website uses the same system so they would just need to activate the feature I would assume

Ah okay. I didn't know, since I don't know anything about Amazon with regards with that. So yeah, okay then. I don't see why Amazon couldn't adapt to the demand they should know exists. So I'm finding it hard to excuse it. I do get that, their goal is to sell all their stock. And so WHO buys it, doesn't really matter (in a normal scenario where they don't know the demand). But they should know the demand here. These WILL sell out, regardless. So making it 1 per customer, ensures more happy customers, and the stock is still sold out either way.

No reason for them not to put a limit in place here. Ridiculous.

He absolutely is rare in the U.S.

So does anyone in the thread need/want Marth?

Hopefully him and WFT are still available tomorrow but if no one wants Marth I'll probably won't buy him tomorrow cause I don't wanna spend my money on him and it goes to waste cause no one wanted him.
 
Sweet, UPS updated that Rosalina is now in Michigan & in the city that's 2 hours away. Guessing it'll arrive Thursday now....which of course is the day I'll be at college from 4 to 8:30ish.
 
Mononoke said:
I can vouch that Jason is 100% legit. He's sent me over 6 Amiibos now through USPS and none of them had had issues. USPS really fucked up badly here. I can't believe this. Maybe we can get someone here to donate WFT and Fox to you?
Click to expand...

Oh I never doubted they that shipped em. I just didn't expect them to get misdelivered but after 3-4 days the thought did start brewing in my mind lol. I was lucky and happy to have won them but just unlucky to not receive them.

It might sound stupid but I kind of feel responsible or like, maybe if someone else won them they wouldn't have gotten lost. :(

Neo Dark said:
Did you check if they might have left it somewhere at your front door but obscurely weird area so that you won't find it? Also try asking neighbors?
Click to expand...

I actually did look all over my porch and yard and both my neighbors saw me and asked if I lost something and that's when I brought it up. :P

I'm sure someone needs Marth in here. He's really really rare. PM me your gmail address and I'll add you to our Google Document (it will list all the people that Need Marth on it).

Or someone can just post in here, or PM you directly and let you know they need him. :D
 
So do all Ike amiibos look like they don't have mouths? all the ones ive seen pictures of look like it just has eyes lol

He was fine with my love for her until he had to line up in front of Target at 7:30 in the morning then run through the store cause people were trying to rush their way past us. lol He told me he won't do that again, but we will do what we have to do for the sake of the queen. :P
 
Mononoke said:
Yeah, the Amiibos themselves are 100% the same. The figurines are 1:1 the same. How they interact with software is 100% the same.

The only difference is the box. Japan has japanese text on their box. EU has the Characters Roster # on the top right corner and some other text, NA just have 6 + So outside of the box differences, there is no difference.
Click to expand...

Is the printing on the bottom of the actual amiibo stand the same across all regions as well? I would gladly import if it ever comes to that, but if there's even a hint of any difference, then my collection won't be consistent!

lol my Fiance dragged me out to Target too at 6 am, even though we already had 2 Rosie's. She wanted to help people out though, and get extras for anyone that needed one.

All hail the queen.

Is there a way or even a heads up if an Amiibo will be rare? or is it just guess work with how popular a character is? not that i'm gonna scalp any future ones or anything just curious.
Click to expand...

It's mostly guessing but you can make some safe assumptions based on how niche a character is. And if the character would have no use in a future game. It is safe to assume Ness will be extremely limited for example. Most are pretty easy to predict.
 
Meeps said:
They have nothing. It's an error.

My bad i figured it might have been accurate , i used brickseek and the stock quantity was pretty accurate to all the NYC stores i visited, still i should have known 65 seems like an absurd number especially for a high profile item such as rosalina.
 
Anime said:
You think thats good? supposedly in Mt Vernon there are 65 in stock!

Holy balls. There's a store like an hour away that said they had 12 yesterday and my friend went in and they said the stock checker was wrong and refused to help him. If you could get me two I would be GREATLY appreciative.

Ah yeah I can see your point now like the pokemon ones will probably be used in the next pokemon game from Ninty but something like Ness wouldn't have anything up coming so there wouldn't be much of them needed.

Just found out my Wave 3 Gamestop pre-orders, including Shulk, have been cancelled. Anyone else?
Click to expand...
Gamestop is charging for my Shulk. I'm expecting delivery email from them soon. Still no word on when I can pick up King DDD, Ike, Megaman, and Sonic as I completely paid for them in store. I hope they don't give it away but the gamestop I go to has been very good to me as far as preorders are concerned. Still waiting for Amazon to ship my Sheik, Bowser and Toon Link though.
 
Byron Bluth said:
Two more for the Wave 3 Collection!

Just need Shulk, Meta Knight and Lucario.
Click to expand...

Where did you get Sonic!? I only need Sonic and Mega Man. Are you in the U.S.?

My Shulk order is preparing, and not shipped yet from Play Asia. But I don't have Sonic or Mega Man even ordered yet.
 
Moskito said:
Falco too, oops. Then:

Wave 5 - Olimar, Dr Mario, Bowser Jr, Greninja, Jigglypuff, ZSS
Wave E - R.O.B., Falco, Dark Pit, Duck Hunt, Ganondorf, Game & Watch
Click to expand...
I highly doubt Ganondorf would be relegated to an online only obscure characters wave. He's pretty popular and hails from one of Nintendo's biggest series.
 
Decided to just pick up a Bowser while at GameStop. Will try to cancel my Walmart order and if not just bring it to Walmart myself. My gamestop hasn't received any new amiibos and haven't started taking pre orders yet.
