I walked into Target at random today and found this:

I don't even like the character. I just bought her because I assume she was rare. Damn you Nintendo.

Now the question is, do I open the box or do I try to gain something from this chance of luck?

I'm so jelly. Went to like 5 targets on Sunday and again today to just look around and nothing. Have yet to see any rare one just on display in Northern VA.

 

[Mononoke]

If I use Rosalina in SSB, she shall be named Rosamiibo.

Because I am lazy as hell & just think of ways to have "amiibo" or "iibo" in the character's name, like Mariibo or Luigiibo.

ROSAMBO

 

[Zonic]

Thinking about it, part of me wonders if they'll just make an amiibo of all 3 different type of Mii fighters (on one single stand, to be more clear), then that way, it can just store a Mii fighter of your choice so you can bring it to other Wii U systems.

 

[Maggots]

What the heck is frozen?

 

[_woLf]

Anyways.. Reporting this question since I don't think anyone saw it.. Either that or no one here actually uses their Amiibo but me lol.

Named mine Rosaluma because I'm unoriginal and lazy

I was fortunate enough to acquire a new in box US WFT today, if anyone wants to trade a Little Mac for her, send me a PM

 

[Mononoke]

Bringing up Elsa debate was a trick I used, to weed out all the people that are now my enemies. Now I have a long list of 10 people on my ignore list. I can't live in a world with Frozen/Elsa lovers.

Damn, how the heck did you do that? By trade/sale. Or you mean in store?

I may be worried about not being able to get Shulk, but as much as this whole thing has been terribly handled by nintendo and generally being a mess, i actually kind of didn't realize that the two figures I have right now (Falcon and Pit) I actually did manage to find them at retail just by walking there, hell I wasn't even looking for Pit when i found him.

Maybe I will get REALLY lucky with Shulk again.

Spoiler

or maybe i already used up all my luck lol

 

[Living Proof]

Well, I bit the bullet and bought a Lucario from Ebay. I feel pretty badly about it since I was trying to get them all myself in-store and U.S. editions, but I doubt it'll be able to find one at Toys R Us in the future. I think it's reasonable to assume the price is only going to go up, and I'll consider myself lucky that I was able to find and pay retail for every other amiibo so far.

I can live with the EU boxart since it looks relatively the same. It's a bit cheaper, which helps out too considering I'll likely need to invest similar amounts in Metaknight and Shulk

Spoiler

though I'm hoping I'll be able to trade a Mac or Pit with another Gaffer for those

Listen to me, justifying this madness...

What the heck is frozen?

Food that are usually ready to eat by throwing it in the microwave for 2-3 minutes

 

[Maggots]

I'm super boring and just name them with their actual names. The Japanese name idea is really cool though I might do that.

I named my samus Pooparrhea... and she destroys

I traded locally. The person has 3 more, too.

 

[Salamando]

BTW. What is everyone naming their Rosalina amiibos? I originally named her just Rosalina last night but figured most would do that so I went with Rosetta (her Japanese name) instead

Named her PFunk. A princess who flies around on an intergalactic observatory helping the stars just sounds like the subject of a funk album.

 

[Frogstep]

I named my Rosie "Frogalina". Pretty clever huh?!

 

[Magwik]

Until I traverse across 10 GameStops on Friday I will not lose hope on Shulk

 

[ThisBeJason]

Dang really nice find. I hope you didn't have to trade an arm and a leg. Maybe just your non dominant arm

Shulk will be hard, because he's:

I. Not well known (and from a niche series). Nintendo has shown they aren't willing to make a lot of stock for non-popular characters.

II. He's exclusive ONLY to Gamestop in NA. So it goes without saying, he's probably going to be pre-order only stock. There won't be any stock beyond pre-orders.

GS might pull some bullshit and sell Shulk "used" at a jacked up $40-60 price. They are scum. Wouldn't surprise me. But honestly, if you don't have a pre-order for Shulk, I really don't think you will get one.

You would have to basically find a GS the day he's released, and then hope they have like 1-2 extras beyond pre-orders. Or hope someone canceled their pre-order.

 

[friskykillface]

I'll wait til Netflix or amazon instant video prime gets frozen before I watch it

Rosalina :3



Surprised gamestop isn't selling shulk for $20+ tbh

 

[Maggots]

.

Oh ... then I like Rosalina better than a frozen

 

[Sponge]

All my Amiibo names are really goofy.

Mario - Gonzales
Luigi - Loogie
Peach - Booty Q.
Yoshi - Yobi
Kirby - Kribby
Pikachu - Peepachoo
Donkey Kong - Pink Dong
Diddy Kong - Monkey Jr.
Captain Falcon - Fab Falcon
Link - Squadala
Zelda - Zorldo

I've yet to name Rosalina, Toon Link, Bowser, or Pit.

Guess I've been that list for a while now then since my avatar has had Elsa on it for the last two months. And here I thought we could be friends =(

 

[SalvaPot]

What the heck is frozen?

Google is confused too.

 

[SaviourMK2]

if you really don't want her, I guess some people here would be glad to trade you somebody for her. If not, then I guess open her.

If not, then I guess open her.

I guess open her.

open her.

open her.

y-yeah its not looking good this time around..

Well if ALL else fails at least I still have that play-asia pre order from a few days back.

 

[kirby_fox]

They reinstated the cancelled orders. Now I'll be stuck with an extra but I'm sure I can easily trade it for something else.

When they did, I had ordered another one when it went back up. But I swore I got an email just the other day about it being delayed/cancelled. It probably was an email saying it had shipped and I was too in a hurry to really look at it.

 

[The12thGripper]

I named my Rosie "Frogalina". Pretty clever huh?!

I named mine Elsa. ORIGINAL RIGHT!?

 

[Sponge]

lol name Rosie ROSAMBO

Nice one! I forgot to mention Samus (RootyTooty).

 

[Mononoke]

Ya'll making me hate Rosie. This is not a good day.

Frozen now ruining my fav amiibos. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[SalvaPot]

I named my Rosalina Jolyne & Iggy.

 

[firehawk12]

Wait, so if Amazon UK started wave 4 preorders, are they expected to happen everywhere else soon?

 

[MADGAME]

Dang really nice find. I hope you didn't have to trade an arm and a leg. Maybe just your non dominant arm

In today's modern age, who needs a tongue? I type more than I talk anyway XD

 

[wilflare]

Frozen is one of my favourite films of all time :X

sigh. I woke up thinking about amiibos
gotta catch them all

 

[Neo Dark]

Named mine Rosaluma because I'm unoriginal and lazy

That's how I've been going about naming my avatar on the forums. If anyone has ever downloaded my avatar on the forums, you'd find out that it's named Elscia and a number after it depending on how many revisions I have done to it. I'm not even trying to ship them. It's just I wanted to add Elsa to my Cia avatar and just went from there and kept the name

Ya'll making me hate Rosie. This is not a good day.

Frozen now ruining my fav amiibos. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

So why did you remove the amiibo sparkles on the avatar?

 

[Fandangox]

I named my Rosalina Jolyne & Iggy.

fistbump.


Fistbump also to whoever named their mario gonzales.

 

[Rocky]

Man, I'm shuddering to think what's gonna happen when ZSS amiibo is announced. I suspect she'll be much worse than Rosalina.

Also, for anyone that has a Rosalina shipped from target.com or Lucario from tru.com, do any of you tracking numbers work yet? None of mine still don't bring up any tracking info. Everything shipped yesterday.

 

[Diggeh]

I named my Rosalina Jolyne & Iggy.

But wouldn't it make more sense to do [JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE PART 6 STUFF]

Spoiler

Jolyne & F.F.? Or Jolyne and S.F. for Stone Free? Hmmmm...

 

[Regulus Tera]

if you really don't want her, I guess some people here would be glad to trade you somebody for her. If not, then I guess open her.

She would make my Mario collection complete.lol

Really, the only thing I want that I missed is Captain Falcon. Does anybody in Houston have one?

:c

And I thought we were having fun talking about something other then how hard it is to get the amiibos that we want.

 

[Mononoke]

I still think Palutena is going to be insane when it comes out.

:c

And I thought we were having fun talking about something other then how hard it is to get the amiibos that we want.

I'm just messing around.

Well, I do dislike Elsa/Frozen quite a bit. But I love everyone. EVERYONE IS MUH FRIEND HERE.

Although I am starting to dislike Rosie. :*(

 

[rjinaz]

Just got charged by Amazon for my Toon Link amiibo. It now says preparing shipment.

 

[Maintenance]

Nintendo World Store, physical delivery only, no international shipping, no pre-orders.

Max of 30 per customer.

 

[Jswanko]

Did you previously have a March arrival date?

 

[rjinaz]

Did you previously have a March arrival date?

Yep March 2nd.

 

[Vylash]

i'm willing to stab all of you if it means getting Lucina, Palutena, and ZSS

Nope. Somebody said theirs finally showed tracking though, so I'm kinda confused as to why I don't see anything yet.

My TRU.com order tracking number works through FedEx.

I want to know this too.
