Ok I'm seeing a lot of usuals coming on now. Join the cause! Join LINE!
We are almost 25 strong and we have eyes all over the internet looking for amiibo deals!
This is better than Nowinstock with quicker alerts. Plus there's a great chat room for friendly banter ;]

Download LINE app, make an ID and PM CH4OS, Kierwynn, or Namagem and we'll get you added. Or just do a search for one of our names and we'll get you added that way too.

I'm going to do that soon. This is a good group!
 
I wonder if the reprints of the rares are going to be different looking than the originals or if the reprints are going to be those stupid cards that NOA keeps talking about.

Hopefully they do it right and keep it the same.

I did the thing!
 
And knowing is half the battle. Or so I hear.

I'm worried about how the hell I'm going to display all these. I haven't really told my wife I'm going to have 50+ of these. The 25 or so I have is already a lot.
I have only 6 so far and they're all on my desk with some other figures I have as well as video game cases and whatnot...yeah, I definitely need someplace to actually keep them.

Zero Suit Samus will be rarer than Palutena just because of the outfit.

Only half-joking.
Can't wait for her to announced as some store exclusive :D

Tank girls? You get a thumbs up from me ;)
 
Hey whats this app thing everyone is talking about? I want in :)

Also, called best buy and confirmed that my meta knight preorders were good to go, never got any email confirmations and was getting worried that I hadn't seen an update to my order yet.

Has anyone else not seen any updates for their metaknight yet? I assumed I would see something since the release is 2/20 supposedly

My phone is not smart, is there any way the findings will be posted on this thread...?

You have yours for store-pickup right? I was at my Best Buy two days ago, and was shown the boxes of amiibos for Friday's release. I haven't seen any notifications about my order either, but I'm guessing they are probably waiting until tomorrow to mark it as Picked.

No mine is ship to my address, but customer service said that my order was sent to the warehouse
 
I don't see why people here won't post any important news in the thread when they find it.

I'm sure they will. This is just something we are trying so we actually get basically Text notifications the second anyone finds anything online. That way people can enjoy life (just a little bit) instead of being glued to NeoGaf.
 
I'm going to be in training all day for the next 2 days.

Obviously Wave 4 preorders will go up tomorrow

When did preorders for wave 3 go up? Like a month or two before? Or was it three?

True true!

everyone goes back to F5ing the store pages anyway lol

I've been posting on both. The main purpose of LINK for us is to alert us instantly of preorders or Amiibo in stock.

Wave 3 has been up for preorder since December, before Wave 2 was even out. Nothing about our previous knowledge or dates matters now. Just know this: if you see it, and you don't have it, order it.
 
My haul from Gamestop:


LTTP to amiibos as I just started playing Smash, but pretty happy I found those as I don't care too much about the other characters besides Shulk. My pre-order for it will hopefully work out.
 
Cuh, I only received Sonic and Megaman in the post today from Shopto. I don't know why I didn't receive Dedede when they were all sent on the same day. My neighbours are going to hate me.

sure sure, I'm fine with that. just saying to the previous poster, someone will post here if they can't access this group texting thing.

and hey now, lets not push people to order things they actually didn't want and screw someone else who wanted the figure who was off by a few seconds...oh right, there are scalpers in this equation too. order away everyone! this is a war of attrition now!
 
I haven't really been keeping up with amiibo availability, but my Captain Falcon got lost in the post near Christmas, and I haven't seen another for sale online for a reasonable price. Does anyone know if Captain Falcon is getting a restock, or if there are any UK shops I can get one from?

What is up with Gamestop pre-orders? I haven't been following this thread as closely as the others. I have Mega Man, Ike, Sonic, Dedede on instore pre-order, but haven't heard anything yet. I got a text when Shulk came in. Did you just walk in and get these?

Check the boxes. That ain't NA.
Plus, there's a Meta Knight.
 
I have a Shulk shipping out from Japan today. 4-8 day shipping..hopefully it will move quick.

I got this from Amazon (Japan) Monday.



Color, sword, and everything seems to be great.

Now that I've learned how to basically ship anything from Japan to myself here in the US (not using an importer like Play-Asia), I think I may do it again if needed.

Amazon Japan ships to the US?

Out the remaining bunch, ZSS and Ganon are the only ones I really, really want at the moment. At least with Ganon, though, I think he'll be a common one, but ZSS, man, I don't know. I'm going to be glued to my computer to get on those pre-orders, so not looking forward to it.
 
No, but you can set up a Tenso (or any other forwarding service) account and they'll ship the items out to you. Used them to get my Rosalina and Meta Knight and some other stuff.

A proxy service has additional fees no? If you don't mind me asking, did you get them at a reasonable price?

Yeah but it wasn't too expensive. After SAL shipping (2-3 weeks) I only paid $30 for the both of them which is great (do note that they were preorders from Amazon direct, they're a little more expensive now since only third parties are selling them atm). Amiibos are a lot cheaper in Japan thanks to a favorable currency conversion rate.
