I would go Gamestop just for Shulk but I am pretty sure Toysrus will have em wave 3b in truckloads.

That's what I'm hoping. Hopefully I'll be able to get them all without running myself broke for the rest of the week. I have to have at least Shulk, Toon Link, and Mega Man.
 
Blue Namagem said:
Exactly, that's what I did for Villager and WFT. Almost had Marth in that order, but it was a 3rd party seller, so it needed its own expensive shipping. Still, just glad to have it.

I wish I had ordered them earlier TBH. I held off on ordering from Amazon.de and now Marth, WFT and Villager are all out of stock. And on top of that, Amazon.de is starting to have less stock seeing as Ike is the only "rare" amiibo in stock. I can only hope they get more at some point.

Toon Link and Mega Man supposedly won't be super hard to get, though I still don't buy that as I feel it's too early to say.

Shulk though...hoo man, am I glad I preordered. Good luck, hope you get him.
 
This is what I got:

My name changed to protect the innocent.

Felix A.: Welcome to GameStop Customer Care! My name is Felix A.. I am so sorry for the long wait time. I appreciate your patience. How may I help you?
SaviourMK2: hello, I have a general question about your amiibo preorders
SaviourMK2: now, before I go on, If I seem agitated I apoogize
SaviourMK2: your Toad amiibo preorders are limited to one per son am I correct?
Felix A.: that is correct
SaviourMK2: does that rule apply to ALL gamestops or just online
Felix A.: only online
SaviourMK2: Ah, I was curious because I came across someone who preordered 20 Toad amiibos at a store in Medford, MA, and then sold each of those toads on eBay for $35 each
Felix A.: please provide me the details so we can investigate
SaviourMK2: here is a link to the auction http://www.ebay.com/itm/Toad-Amiibo...efaultDomain_0&hash=item419018c5b7&rmvSB=true
SaviourMK2: here is an image of the receipt http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NjQwWDQ4MA==/z/36sAAOSw-W5U1EG~/$_12.JPG
Felix A.: thank you
Felix A.: i will pass this along to the appropriate department for investigation
SaviourMK2: based on the ebay auction's location, he is from Medford mass, and their last name is mcginley
SaviourMK2: I'm sorry, I'm just sick of scalpers and wanna nip this in the bud if I can
Felix A.: thank you so much for this
Felix A.: Please let me know if you have any further questions! If you are finished with this chat session, please feel free to close the chat window.
SaviourMK2: no thank you, I was hoping something would be done about it
Felix A.: you are welcome
Felix A.: thank you for contacting Gamestop.com

If they cancel his orders, I'm going to laugh my ass off.
I'm actually surprised they wanted to see the evidence and may actually "investigate".

I'm going to check back regularly to make sure it's been corrected.

Blue Namagem said:
Wow, you actually said something? I wonder what will become of it. It's so damn disgusting that that person was able to do that and sell them that way. Terrible.
Click to expand...

Of course! I'm tired of this shit, I'm not taking it anymore. I'm fighting back.

Is toad going to sell out?

If he is I'm going to have a very upset partner. She loves that little fucker.

There's still plenty for preorder on their website
 
So checking through my orders, Toys R Us (via EBay) still hasn't shipped my Lucario and Best Buy still hasn't shipped my Meta Knight.

Emailed both. How fucked am I?

Also, I have an extra Captain Falcon if anyone wants to straight trade for either of the above.
 
ShinRPGamer said:
Thanks for the info. I'm pretty much out of options for Marth but I still have .fr and.de for Ike should my order on Amazon Canada get cancelled.
Click to expand...
Don't worry, Marth seems to be more widely available overseas, so I'm sure you'll get one soon enough.

SaviourMK2, you should find out the District Manager's email address or phone number of that area and formally complain to him/her, if you wanna go to the next level. Ask over the phone at a store in that area in a nice way, I'm sure they'll provide the info. I bet if the DM hears about it, some shit'll have to go down.

I preordered the whole SMB series from GS just to be safe. I'm sure there's a lot of people thinking the same thing, so nabbing from from GS or Amazon now isn't the worst idea. He still seems to be plenty available, though.

In store orders for me, yup. The day they were availablr, got 'em all. Ordered another for home shipment, in case I need an extra for trade. But, given my Ike delay, I'm not holding my breath on that one.
 
See I like you guys worlds more than other forums, because I brought this to light on another forum, and I'm being ripped apart for being a snitch.

Sorry if scalping pisses me off

Nobody knows for sure what to expect from best buy with meta knight.

Why do you do this to me? I thought we were Amiibros...
Click to expand...

Dun hate.

Also my German Pit just arrived. Too bad my US one arrived first. Still no word from GAME's Pit. I'm not even gonna hold my breath for that one anymore.

So now I have a spare Pit. Wonder what to do with it.
 
Just wanted to give a shout out to Blue Namagem for helping me get a Rosalina. Traded her for Pit and received her earlier today in perfect condition.

Anyways, any news on Wave 4 pre-orders?

It's not even that selling them like that is entirely bad, if it's just like 1 or 2. But damn, 20?! That's absolutely insane and unfair. I'm glad you feel you wanted to do something about it, because it'd kill me if I saw that many Mega Mans on order. I might punch a wall if that was the case!

Blue! Look at my new keychain! Well it's not new I got it as a preorder gift when I bought Smash U but decided to use it today :D
Click to expand...
Holy CRAP, I had my eye on that on Amazon weeks ago, but I hesitated because I didn't know how big it was in relation to keys. But this is perfect, it looks amazing! It's the same one I wanted to get too, with the running pose!

I wannit! It looks fantastic! I'm not even much of a big fan of keychains, but I really want it now. Thanks for sharing!

First things first:

I'm a dude, so "her" is wrongly used on me!!

Also, I wanted to publicly thank you for willing to trade that Pit with me. I have yet to recieve it, but it's almost here, and I very much appreciate the trade. I'll admit, I was hesitant about trading online like this, but after being here for a while, I just knew everything was gonna be fine and no one was gonna screw me over. Had a good trade with superNESjoe that came in today which further solidified that stance!

So hey, if anyone else is up for a trade, I'm all for it, 'cause I know you all aren't gonna do me wrong!

Pretty sure the "her" was being used in reference to the Rosalina amiibo. He traded "Rosalina(her)".
 
Haha, yeah, I see it now, but hey, in my defense, "I traded her" immediately seemed like it was aimed at me, with the second "her" referring to Rosalina.

But yes, upon reading it again, I probably just read it in a different context. Anyways, glad I could help him with that, and he could help me with Pit.

Win-win!

Lol the both of the "her" refers to Rosalina, should have been more clear.

And I know what you mean. I'm not very active here, so I wasn't sure about the trade either but I honestly had nothing to lose. This was an extra Pit laying around and I was actually planning on giving it away to a friend in real life, but you contacted me first.

I actually have 2 extra Diddy Kongs and 2 Toon Links. Waiting on The Batman to get back to me if he wants one of the Toon Links since he can't find it in his area.

Well, thanks for giving it a shot with me, I appreciate that. My issue now is that it was originally gonna be for a friend, but now I found out my brother is looking for Pit, so I'm torn on who to give it to.

Regardless, like I said, it's great that everything went just fine for both of us. I'd be glad to trade again in the future!

Btw, the Toon Link sounds interesting, but I'm gonna wait for things to pan out to see just how rare he becomes. Hopefully not very, but then again, that's the dream for all amiibos.

Glad you like it! I recommend you get one when you get the chance :D Yeah, I'm not much of a keychain fan either cuz they tend to get too bulky on the pockets but I like this one because it's flat and of proper size for pockets :D

Give it to whomever you made amends with first. If neither of them know about it, have them settle it in smash!!
 
Now that I've sort of calmed down a bit, do you think it was the right thing to do contacting customer support over it? Do you think I over reacted?

I mean... people who pay 3x more than simply preordering it at Gamestop probably deserve to be ripped off.
It's just... really...

I don't know, like I said, do you think it was smart of me? Do you honestly think they'll do anything about it?
 
Just got back from the off topic side. Marvel got Spider-Man back into the MCU!!!! Sony keeps control but it's amazing. Happy dance happy dance.

sorry that's breaking news to me ha.

On topic. Um I love Amiibos

You did the right thing. Corporate should know about this that way they can put a stop to scalpers. This needs to be enjoyable to collect or purchase. Nothing is more frustrating than finding out you missed out on something because someone took all the stock. I'm sure they can put a limit of two per person, and that's great. It won't solve the scalper problem entirely, but it can help deter it. Don't blame you for being mad to be honest.
