Here's who we have so far:

Remember the more eyes we have on the internet, the better this works. This is a whole network of amiibo watchers and I think it will really help us get a jump on any preorders or surprise rares coming back in stock for 2 min.

PM me, Namagem or Kierwynn if interested and we can send you QR codes to the rooms. Or just search me CH4OS, blue.namagem or Kierwynn and we will add you to the rooms! Happy hunting!
 
So my Sonic Amiibo has been shipped hopefully will get him tomorrow, than I have to go into Dublin on Friday and pick up my Shulk pre-order. With any luck I'll be able to grab Mega-man, Dedede and Metaknight.

And I'm still waiting on my Majora's Mask Special Edition game to delivered how I hate An Post.
 
It looks like Gamestop just changed Ike, DDD, Sonic, and Mega Man to Online Only like they did with Shulk last week. I think they changed it for Shulk on the day shipments were starting to come in. So maybe today or tomorrow...!

Ehhhhhh, does that mean Gamestop isn't getting those four in stores at all?

Between Marth getting reprinted, GameStop's second shipment of Shulk, and now this website, is it unreasonable to expect reprints of all the rarer figures in the early summer?

Just as I was giving up hope of ever having a Little Mac or Villager...

Remember: this could just be for UK. We have NoA to deal with in the US.
 
Just got the e-mail from Best Buy that my Meta-Knight pre-order has shipped. Hopefully it is here Friday, but with this crazy winter weather, I am not counting on it being here Friday.
 
So glad that the Google Hangouta not working out led to our LINE chat's creation! Thanks to everyone for joining, and big thanka to Tomi for the original Hangouts idea, which I tried to make work but failed due to the 10 per chat limit.

All from the thread are welcome, and we have 20 people so far. Keep 'em coming! Alerts of amiibo availability right to your phone, it's a fantastic thing!

If there is an excuse to market more of the villager amiibo then I think they might do a reprint. If any full AC wiiu game doesn't come til the end of the year then I don't think the smash figure would get a reprint though. perhaps they'd do only a card line for the game itself and re-release the smash figure as a token full amiibo.

The villager MK8 dlc does happen in like may. maybe they'd do something there.

The only "alert" I've gotten is the pic I shared earlier in the thread that my friend at my reservation store sent me of my Meta Knight safe and sound in a locked-up cage with my name on him. :D

He's keeping my Ike, Dedede and Mega Man company; all of which are also in the same place.

I wonder then if like Shulk last week they're gonna put them up for direct sale soon?
 
Omg. I just moved this summer to another state, and I was looking at the target dpci website to see which amiibos are in stock around me, and decided i'd check out the targets near my old house..... and the target right next to my old college has two Villager amiibos in stock. Is there anyway I can call them and order them over the phone and have them sent to my house? I know it's a longshot but figured i'd ask.

If you can't (i'm not sure if you could), if you have friends still there, you could always get someone else to go get them. It can't hurt to call, regardless.

You can ask, but there's no chance they are at the store.

They may not even be there. A few Targets near me show that they have 3-4 WFT in stock, but they don't :/ Worth a try though, good luck!

Doesn't hurt to ask but don't get your hopes up. That tracker lists 3 stores within 20 miles of me which all have villager stock of 3. I've been to them. They don't.
 
Anyone willing to trade Majora's Mask Limited Editions?

Mine has a small rip on the mask cut out area. It really bugs me because I intended to keep it sealed. I bought the Digital Version of the game too.

So if you intend to open yours when it arrives I would love to trade. Kinda a long shot. I'll be willing to pay for the cost of you to ship it to me and obviously will pay to ship mine to you.

PM me if you're willing to do this

If they had them in stock i'd just have a friend go pick them up for me.

But i've called twice now, once to electronics and then once to customer service. I asked the guy in electronics and all he did was look at the shelf. I then called customer service to have them search the system for the dcpi code but she said she couldn't do that and then just transferred me to electronics.....
 
Just FYI my GameStop Ike and Dedede just shipped this morning. These are the ones that were indefinitely delayed. I thought they were gone for good, guess I got lucky.

I hope Nintendo realizes how popular Lucina actually is and makes her fairly common. I really hope she's like Diddy Kong-- hard to find then BOOM everywhere.

No way. Robin is billed as the main FE newcomer with new moveset where Lucina was reglected to a lowly clone corner. Lucina will be the rarest of Wave 4. Yes, even rarer that Ness. And its truly hilarious because 90% of posts I read say they want Lucina the most. Hope I'm wrong, but with how much Nintendo's messed up so far...

Also for future reference: So I just order from amazon.de for example with my US account and CC and it'll auto charge in US dollars? Just use a website to translate the money ratio? Reason I ask is the last time I ordered from a foreign website (Doctor Who DOTD audiobooks from Red Finish or whatever its called) it froze my CC account. Don't wanna repeat that.

It charges me in USD every time I order then a $1-3 foreign transaction fee. Call your credit card company to make sure they know you'll be making a foreign purchase. I get an alert from Chase saying this:

Chase Acct ####: An international charge of $xx.xx has been authorized at AMAZON EU SARL on 02/##/2015 08:58 ET

I'm sure they were just stolen and never moved to shrink.

Don't count on it. It's important to keep our perceptions of popularity in perspective. Lucina is not a character the general public knows about or really cares about. Lucina is very popular within a small group of hardcore fans. She's not much different than Ness in that sense.

Ugh, I know how that goes... been calling Wal-mart daily asking if they ever received their MM N3DS. Pretty much the same experience!

Could you friend just stop by and check it out for you?

You underestimate the cosmic hatred NoA has for Mother. Ness's trade rate will be 3 Villagers and some cash. Lucina is in the same position as the other FE crew, in that they have a second game they work in so will get at least some additional stock.
 
Man, there are a bunch of gamestops near me that says they have low stock of shulk on the website but when I call they all said no. >.>

Ask them if it is because of preorders, and then if you want to be a vulture, how much time is left till those preorders are open season.

You underestimate Amiibos. Because with Amiibos, there are no rules. Where even Mario and Pokemon characters aren't safe from extinction. (Rosalina & Lucario. Lucario is hilarious considering how popular he is. He is getting some restocks but its still stupid rare atleast in US.) Although I will agree with NOA's hatred of Mother series could cause him to be the rarest. Him and Lucina will def be the two rarest imo.

Also glad to see TL on amazon for the first time outside preoders. I wish I knew how much longer until Mega Man, Sonic, Ike, or DDD comes up. Sucks having $14 of amazon credit, itching to spend it on someone like a Kirby, but knowing if you do a rare will appear! My preordered TL seems to finally be coming in tomorrow or today so yay!

I would but it's too icy out there right now.

Also, the plot thickens... So I called another (competent) target in the area and had them search their system for the villager dcpi code, and she confirmed that the other target should have 4 villager amiibos on hand. So I guess I'm going to call back later and have them check the back and see what they can find.

If the system says that they have 4 villager amiibos, then they should hopefully at least have one.
