My sheik and toon link shipped (i ordered sonic through gamestop)
 
AGHH! I love Shulk! His design reminds me of Sora from Kingdom Hearts. I hope my Shulk gets to me safely!
How many people here think Nintendo will release a LE Xenoblade Chronicles New 3DS?
It may lessen the sting of not getting the Majoras Mask one...

They'll release one to double the sting when you don't get it.

Good God I hope so. I need a Xenoblade themed 3DS!

if they do it won't come to the US cause NoA and their incompetence.
 
The entire Super Mario line, minus Toad because of course he isn't, is still available for preorder in store at Gamestop.

Still no word from GoHastings on my Sheik. :(
 
Just a FYI, the Shulk amiibo gives you tokens for unlocking music & models, but you also get tokens via StreetPass.

Still, this makes me want him even more but it also makes me hate it even more he's GS exclusive so we're gonna have to be even QUICKER now.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that little nuance.

Actually, NoA has been pretty good about releasing limited edition hardware, much better than NoE.
We got Persona Q, New Super Mario Bros 2, Disney Magical World, blue and red Super Smash Bros for 3DS (think Europe only got Red), maybe some more that I can't think of.
 
Seems like everyone Amazon order is shipping and I'm still waiting for mines : /

Shoot, also miss Toad preorders for Walmart as well. I hope I don't miss the boat for Bestbuy. Hope it also not too late to preorder Toad at gamestop in store next Friday.
 
By the 13th of February, my avatar will either change or remain the same depending on the outcome of that dreaded day...

I've never ordered multiple items at once always one figure at a time which usually results in cheaper shipping. One order I've had (priced at over 3000 JPY) the shipping was via EMS and the cost was 1,680 JPY or roughly $14-15. There may be a cheaper method (SAL?) but I've only ever used EMS for shipping.

So expect to pay $15-20 for a single order depending on the order

But they won't surprise you. The only thing you know when you place your order is the item price and which shipping method to choose. When they email you to pay for your order, you get the entire calculation including the shipping cost before you hit "Confirm". This is, however, when you use paypal as I've never paid with credit card on amiami.

Shipping is based on which type (generally EMS, Air, or SAL), weight, and location. SAL is the cheapest one. Also if you choose to go with SAL small packet, you could also choose to do registered or unregistered. Registered gives you tracking and insurance. Unregistered does not. I have only ordered twice there and none of my orders are shipping out until April (Lucina and Elsa) but when they do ship out I'm going for registered. Not going to risk it on my first few orders especially since with that Elsa nendoroid. But I have a friend that's ordered from them quite a lot over the last few years and he says he has never lost a single package using unregistered so it's really your choice on that.

Edit: Oh here's the link on the info btw http://www.amiami.com/top/page/t/faq2.html

alright, thanks you guys.
 
I think I'm going to cancel all my Super Mario line pre orders except Toad. I'll just stick to one per character. I already don't know where I'm going to put all these damn things, so I don't think I need doubles ;)
 
The responses to that tweet are so great.

The responses are immature. If you feel so offended, then go ahead and stop buying.

Really. Amazing how small the world seems when you think you're appealing directly to the man.

Did Nintendo really screw us over? Yep. But that's okay. Because these are just things in the long run, and there are things way more important that deserve our time.

There's a way to appeal to corporations and companies, and ridiculous tweets just aren't it. Doesn't accomplish much for Nintendo at least.

You act like the people that are tweeting are spending precious hours of their day making the tweets. They take like 10 seconds, top.

And tweets absolutely do matter. If enough people make noise, companies have to pay attention or risk turning away customers.
