yeah, the employee told me to contact the district manager so I'll try that first.

You said you had them all paid off to, right?

I just went and paid mine off this weekend. I know a few people have been having this problem and most of them seem fine, just the orders are being moved over to the store instead of online.

 

[Byron Bluth]

9 more days until the U.S starts to really feel it.

By then I'll have them all here in Canada. Will be fun to watch the show without my own stress.

Hahaha

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

Okay, just PM me when the time gets closer. I'll see what I can do in exchange for a spare Mega Man. No guarantees on Mac or Falcon, though, but I hope we can arrive at some sort of equitable arrangement.

Oh if I get one for you I'm sure we will, don't worry about that.

 

[Gartooth]

Amazon asked me about a delay for Mega Man and that they might cancel my order, getting really worried now. I might put in a Gamestop preorder for Toad now because I don't want this to happen again.

Thankfully all my other Amiibos are preordered from Gamestop and shipping to my house. Still, it is crazy since I preordered Mega Man back in December and am having problems, meanwhile Sonic who I got a preorder in for back in January is supposedly coming early March with no problems at all.

 

[LightningXCE]

Apparently gamestop can't find my shulk orders in the system despite paying them off a few days ago :\

Our entire POS changed.

Have them start a transaction, click "Manage Customers" and do a manual lookup by your phone number. It will say "X PREORDERS OPEN" for them on the right one.

It's god-aweful. The new system failed to merge most of the in-store preorder accounts with the powerup account. That's why this is happening.

Yep, its been frustrating as hell. Lots of good ideas in the update but man are there other things that set it back... Large trade sucks even more now than before... so slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

if they cant handle that then ask em to look you up on their register that has the old POS or look through their reservation manager in the back office

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I guess I dodged a bullet when I decided to pre-order Mega Man at Gamestop. Amazon is dropping the ball on new wave orders.

 

[Jagsrock]

GameStop left me a message that my preorders will be available on the 13th so I guess that's gonna be "The Date" for sure now.

 

[Mecca]

9 more days until the U.S starts to really feel it.

The ones I want are being shipped to me, but since I trust Best Buy about as far as I can throw them and I'm apparently a gluten for punishment, I will be standing in line at store opening hoping I won't be crushed to death by the weight of everyone trying to cram themselves through the automatic doors.

 

[Blue Namagem]

Oh if I get one for you I'm sure we will, don't worry about that.

Cool. I'll let you know if something changes, like if I'm somehow able to get one earlier or something.

 

[That Wont Fit In There]

Their system seems like shit. I paid off my online store pick up preorders last week, and it took like three people to figure out how to do it.

May be the new computers they're all using. Went there yesterday in store and they said I had no pre orders. Went to a different computer and it showed my 3 shulks, Ike and megaman. Got scared they fucked up for a second.

February 13: Gamer Black Friday (Without all the markdowns and stuff)

 

[Lucina]

I would do anything for Mega Man/Sonic Amiiiibo

...but I WONT DO THAT

[Soul Beat]

Mega Man is all I want, guys! T^T

Hopefully my store will actually get some...

 

[Thoraxes]

With the Amazon delay on Megaman I may have use for my Rosalina and Shiek extras lol

 

[Xamdou]

So Feb 13 is the big Wave 3 release date for Gamestop right?

 

[Byron Bluth]

It's all part of the fun!

Spoiler

No its not ninty step your game up ;_;

Well I have to wait for Shulk to release as my preorder is with GameStop USA online. So I'll join in for at least that!

 

[Blue Namagem]

So Feb 13 is the big Wave 3 release date for Gamestop right?

For all except Mega Man and Sonic, who are set to release 2/20.

 

[Thoraxes]

It's the expected date, not a street date. There is no more street date.

 

[Xamdou]

Wait for all retailers? Including Bestbuy and Target?

 

[Maintenance]

Funny, Sonic should be fast but he's the last. I guess they are matching that with his sales record, being together with Mega Man gives that theory some strength.

 

[Lucina]

Yep.

Just spent 40 min dealing with GS Customer Service. Guy was nice. Said Mega Man is 100% Feb 20th. Shulk Feb 13th. Said that Shulk will be pre-order only, that there won't be any stock beyond pre-orders.

Of course, this is random CS rep #21939344

So whatever.

Wait for all retailers? Including Bestbuy and Target?

Prob. The feb 20th delay seems to be world wide for Sonic and Mega Man. Even regions that usually get them early, specifically got pushed back to the 20th for some bizarro reason. Only New Zebra Land and Australiah Land got them early. And some small stores in Canda got Mega Man (but it wasn't a country wide thing. They just sold them early). No idea how they got that stock, since supposedly they don't exist.

 

[Blue Namagem]

Wait for all retailers? Including Bestbuy and Target?

Just GS. Others could presumably get them sooner, but not too sure.

 

[LostAnkh]

Either I find them or trade for them. Still haven't paid above 13.99.

 

[Xamdou]

Yep.

Sounds about right, My Mega-man preorder from amazon says Feb 20th release also. My local Gamestop says 2/13 is the release date for Shulk.

1000000x this. The computers we are using aren't powerful enough for the transitions used on EVERYTHING.

I've been flooding the feedback button for days but they ignore me every time, haha. Plus, I'm a UI designer to boot, so they're legit things and ways to correct.

Regardless, @Persona7 , Have them use the old register, or have them Shift-f3 to go to the old system, have them go into the old reservation manager and check for you.

Edit:

May be the new computers they're all using. Went there yesterday in store and they said I had no pre orders. Went to a different computer and it showed my 3 shulks, Ike and megaman. Got scared they fucked up for a second.

FOR ANYONE WHO'S GAMESTOP IS NOT SEEING THEIR PREORDER IN STORE, HAVE THEM MANUALLY DO A CUSTOMER LOOKUP BY USING 'MANGER CUSTOMER' OR THE OLD POS.

 

[Lucina]

Just GS. Other could presumably get them sooner, but not too sure.

Oh yeah. Other stores COULD get them earlier. But since Sonic and Mega Man were pushed to the 20th in all other regions, I kind of have to think, it must have been something with their manufacturing. So I expect 20th to go beyond GS.

Which sucks. Like, I don't want to wait 16 days to complete my wave. C'mon!

I sure as hella aint gonna pay some Aus/Nz/Canadian scalper to secure MM/Sonic 2 weeks early. Just going to have to put mah bum on my hands and sit and wait. Sit and wait.

 

[Gartooth]

Preordered Toad on Gamestop even though I expect him to be somewhat common. Will probably cancel my Amazon order for him as we get closer to his release date. Fuck Amazon. I don't really mind later release dates compared to the other retailers as long as I get my Amiibos, but knowing that there is a chance that I am going to have to hunt like a madman for Mega Man has pissed me off.

 

[WatTsu]

Just checked with Amazon customer support. They said they expect to still get Mega Man, they just don't have a release date. (I got an email earlier today saying they weren't sure if they could fulfill it, I responded and said I still wanted it).

I'm gonna stick with my preorder there because I don't know if I will have a choice, but I feel reasonably confident he will arrive.

(If you're wondering, I've had my preorder since November, when they first went up.)

 

[Blue Namagem]

After that I really hope NOA doesn't drop the ball with Ness, but they will probably make him a Churro Mania exclusive..

 

[Vylash]

man, Peach looks so good in the new line of amiibos

 

[Lucina]

"WHY CAN'T I HAVE GOOD GAMES ANYMORE."

Eek!

Are you trying to scare me!? Give a girl nightmares with that monstrosity.

Her face looks kind of strange to me. Can't put my finger on it. Like she's ditsy? It's the eyes. Her eyes!

I agree. The actual peach amiibo model from smash is complete shit. Same with link. Sucks cause I love link.

 

[Blue Namagem]

I sure as hella aint gonna pay some Aus/Nz/Canadian scalper to secure MM/Sonic 2 weeks early. Just going to have to put muh bum on my hands and sit and wait. Sit and wait.

That's why I'm trying to negotiate a trade for my Rosalina (or Fox or Yoshi) from someone who has Mega Man right now.

Anyone? Please? You know you wanna!

 

[Byron Bluth]

After that I really hope NOA doesn't drop the ball with Ness, but they will probably make him a Churro Mania exclusive..

I don't think there will be any exclusives with Wave 4. Maybe 1.

there are only 6

I forsee them doing exclusives for every large wave that is 11-12 in size.

 

[blast processed]

With the Amazon delay on Megaman I may have use for my Rosalina and Shiek extras lol

So I'm not the only one with the delay, that's good I guess.

Are you just trying to get one Mega Man? Hope someone can make that deal.

Yeah, I think Amazon hadn't updated their thing. Mega Man and Sonic were delayed weeks ago to the 20th and later. I wonder if it was a manufacturing issue. So bizarre that people are saying NA Amazon is preparing their Sonic for shipment now though. So maybe Sonic is out on the 13th in Retail stores? Not the 20th?

 

[LostAnkh]

I agree. The actual peach amiibo model from smash is complete shit. Same with link. Sucks cause I love link.

Exactly, Link is looking a little down in his Smash amiibo. I'm just hoping they release an Adult Link & Young Link amiibo in the future.

Nah hes looking for 7 to make one of each alt. Color

I konda want to do this for Toon Link now...

"WHY CAN'T I HAVE GOOD GAMES ANYMORE."

For those chasing Mega Man and Sonic

In Canada Toys R Us got them yesterday but EB Games is still waiting for them I arrive. While other retailers won't get them until the end of the month like Future Shop and Wal Mart.

So it will likely be weird and staggered too showing up at different retailers at different times.

 

[blast processed]

New delivery for Toon Link from Amazon is 3/2 now. Not sure if that was posted.

 

[Blue Namagem]

Eek!

It's the face of a down-trodden hedgehog with little to no recourse but to ask in futility of the security of his future and the validity of the legacy he created.

Nah, it's just a really funny-looking weird pic of his face.

Oh no! I will pay you money to get me a Mega Man and Sonic + shipping . I just need one of each. So close. So close.
