So guys I finally got the call from GameStop.

My Shulk will be arriving at my store Wednesday afternoon. It has been my most wanted amiibo since amiibos were first announced and the time has almost arrived. Thank you GameStop. Thank you, you did not screw me over after hearing all of these horror stories regarding amiibos. God Bless you GameStop.

Don't thank them yet. Imagine rocking up and being told 'oh sorry we didnt have enough and yours was given to someone else'.

That's not going to happen. Congrats.

Man, Shulk looks so good. I'm not even a big Xenoblade fan but I'm kind of getting tempted to try and track him down. They're impossible to get in-store at GameStop without pre-orders, right?

Speaking of which, D-Arts Zero TYPE 2 is getting reprinted! No more crazy $200 prices!

Nice! I already have Zero TYPE 2, but I understand the excitement. I missed out on the basic D-Arts X - my favorite in the line - the first time around and was overjoyed when it was reprinted before I dropped $200 on it.

Whats the difference between Japanese and American Amiibos?

Are they region locked or something?
Click to expand...

hi.just a friendly reminder to check the OP in product threads. A lot of time went into it by Jawmuncher and the community and most FAQ can be found there.

Q:Are Amiibo Region Free?
A:Yes, aside from different packaging all amiibo figures thus far will work in any region.

Source?

Same source that told me about WFT last week (and I posted here it would be in stock).
Shulk will be in-stock (meaning more than to just fill preorders/backorders) on the 20th at Amazon.it
Quantity unknown, so it's possible Shulk won't last as much as WFT did (almost a couple of days)

Dunno about .co.uk, but last time with WFT they also got them in stock together with .it so it might be worth a shot if you prefer shopping at Amazon UK instead of Italia.

Got a text earlier today for Sheik, but no others. Was already out this evening, so I swung into GameStop just to check in on everything. The employee told me that the store should be getting in the whole wave tomorrow... Maybe. Something about cold weather and shipping delays.

So. I'M HYPE.




MAYBE.

Just called my local GameStop to ask about Shulk. Not only did they tell me they didn't know when he was coming in, but also that their system was "glitching" and they couldn't even look up my orders. I'm going there right now to kick some ass and get this horse shit straightened out. I'm not letting these fucking things get away from me.

From my experience ordering a Monster Hunter 4 3DS, their system is quite terrible. It took the guy 6 tries before he could even get an order to the point I could pay for it and then the payment system messed up and we couldn't check out. Luckily I already had my "order" held onto and set aside in their system so I could take the printed paper in the next day to pay it off.

Peach and Rosalina welcome Shulk into the collection.

Next up is Megaman from Amazon followed Meta Knight, Dedede and Sonic (whenever BB gets around to shipping them).

Thought I had pre ordered shulk. Guess that was just a dream I had or something as I see nothing and the store I thought I had done so at shows nothing.

Oops.

I too got a call from Gamestop. Saying that "my game" would be available Wednesday Afternoon.

Since the MH4 Bundle and the CE of MM3D were online digital orders this must be my Shulk Amiibo.

Just talked to my local Gamestop manager. Everything is pre-order only. I'm about to really be done with this amiibo stuff. I'm getting so frustrated with it.

Got a text from Gamestop so I can go pick up my Shulk tomorrow. My bowser arrived today. His eyes are a bit derpy but not terrible. Rosalina is on her way from Japan as well. Still no clue what's going to happen with Mega Man. That leaves Ike and Sonic as the remaining figures from this wave that I really want. I wish I could see more pics of Ike seems he looks like he got hit with the downgrade stick hard.

Crap, better call mine to see if theirs is pre-orders only. Might save me a trip into town.

We had extra sheiks, TLs and Bowsers so far. Shulk is no where to be found in our shipping log, IKE, DDD, Mega Man and Sonic are all next week now but expecting to get extras of MM and Sonic

Yeah, so my Shulk is not going to fulfilled either. Id much rather pay an amiibro here instead of a scalper for one if there are any unclaimed extras. It will actually be the only one I am missing to complete them all! My poor wallet :( but my kids love them tho

Dang, guess I have a better chance of getting one online since it states Shulk is Online Only now. Sounds like if Shulk didn't get any pre-orders, he won't be sent to that location.

Least there'll be extra Mega Man. Hope to nab him when I pick Sonic up.
