Since Shulk is going to have Xenoblade Chronicled 3D support, I'm upgrading his Currenciibo ranking from a million to gold bullion.

CANADIAN AMIIBO UPDATE - FRIDAY FEBRUARY 6TH


Future Shop should have or finally start selling Toon Link, Shiek and Bowser today. So check in on that. Many stores have slowly been getting stock of them. They also announced on Twitter yesterday that their online pre-orders for Meta Knight will be shipping out early next week, along with the confirmation that all Meta Knights are for pre-orders only, no first come/first serve Meta Knights will be available.

EB Games got Rosalina in store this week, but if your local store(s) didn't then it could show up today. She showed up yesterday and they got ONE. Their Twitter confirmed today that Mega Man and Sonic will be available for pick up in store on Monday February 9th, no extras for non-preorders.

Toys R Us had all of Wave 3 and Rosalina in store on Tuesday, so if your location didn't get them in yet then you should check again today as some stores held back their Wave 3 stock for the Lucario launch that occured today. He is now sold out online but the rest of Wave 3 is supposed to go up on their website at sometime today.

Wal Mart did not get Wave 3 in for today's launch, they have always been the last ones to get stock. Keep checking in, but it will likely be Toon Link, Bowser and Shiek only.


MEGA MAN AND SONIC ARE AT THE EB GAMES WAREHOUSES NOW BEING SHIPPED OUT TODAY - IN STORES MONDAY!

It won't be available in-store today. We're only receiving it in our warehouse today. Earliest it'll be in-stores is Mon

Sorry, the Rosalina amiibo was a limited, online only release that won't be available in-store. Stay tuned for more releases!

Likely the same with Best Buy since they are the same corporation.

Sheik becoming more common makes me kick myself for importing her. Ah well, my other imports (Ike, Meta Knight, King Dedede) are all hard to get here, so I'm all right.

So for those asking about the quality of my Meta Knight, here it is...

I suppose it could have been better, but meh.

Don't have pics of mine off hand, but while scoffed ... it's not nearly as scoffed as yours is.

He's not available for shipping though. Only store pickup and its funny because not available anywhere here but it still says add to cart

It's been jumping in and out of "shipping stock" since yesterday.
Weird stuff.

Mine arrives today so they are definitely in the warehouse.
 
The Toon Link that I ordered yesterday from TRU just shipped. Now I can cancel my Amazon order that was delayed to who knows when. Just hoping the Sheik shows up on TRU since I have one more cancellation coupon.
 
Just came back from the Best Buy in Ocoee, FL. Picked up a Toon Link and Sheik. They had three Toon Links and two Sheiks left. So happy.

Il like the idea, but I think there's a lot of misplaced Amiibos (even if it's an impossible mission). But (besides the fact that unreleased Amiibos value is really uncertain) at least, Little Mac should definitively be on the top. Rosalina is a good candidate to join him. Lucario may be rare in the US, but it's easy to find him elsewhere (I even saw him in shops this afternoon)

(and for a 1$ value, I would have liked to see 2 Kirbies in all my Amiibo hunts ^_^ For me, it's by far the rarer of the first wave, although I know it's easier to find him elsewhere)

I hope so! Called everywhere for him today. Impossible to find in stores in Portland.

Let's hope I can get lucky online... No pun intended

True, but in terms of what we expect to be overall shipment - he'll be available again, or at least I suspect so.

Right?

For now he is still pretty rare. If you can get one I'd jump on the opportunity.
He was wave 1 and rarely gets stocked in stores these days.
 
Still no call from GameStop regarding King Dedede. Is this normal?

Guy didn't even have a release date for me when I paid it off on Tuesday.

I dunno if its NOA or NCL. They have for a while now been acting very poorly. :/

Most certainly NOA's fault. Other Countries have some problems but nowhere near as bad. Most other Countries problem is people from NA importing from them lol.

Not all things are NOA's fault as of late, I'd say the New 3DS AC cord isn't their fault since they did include one with the XL when others didn't. But the Amiibo situation really seems like 100% their fault imo. I just hope I can get Lucina, Robin, Palutena, Mega Man, Duck Hunt. G&W, ROB, Jigglypuff, and Greninja. Its just going to be pure luck especially since even preorders aren't safe. So tired of all this worrying, just do like CN Platinum rewards and have a month or two ordering period for each Wave then print that many so everyone gets one FFS.

I'd rather NoA be better :c
Click to expand...

Me too... But I still think cussing out NOA is not going to fix anything... If you Love someone you love them for their quirks and weaknesses as well as their strengths... EVEN Nintendo...

I love nintendo and I'll be the first to admit that they make some dumb choices and can do a lot of things better... But you can't love Nintendo and Hate NOA...

Frankly I don't think NOA has much say about what happens In NA anyway...
 
About MetaKnight, I have three here and have seen a lot of them now, and while there's certainly supposed to be an effect where the black shows through under the silver paint, he is not meant to be scratched. If you go to a store and have a choice, inspect them carefully.

I'm still working on Currenciibo. I've got kierwynn as my fiinanciial adviisor.

Good point and I took that into consideration. But toon link is not as rare as pit in Portland. I still see a few of him in different stores.

I'm so conflicted
Click to expand...

Oh I meant I don't think its a bad deal, Toon Link is not hard to get compared to Pit and if your willing to pay $26 for Pit I'd say go for it. I'd probably do the same for Little Mac.
