Yikes...not going for Meta Knight tomorrow. Weather forecast says wind chill will be between -15 and -25 when Best Buy opens tomorrow. Not waiting in line with that. If there is no restock, I'll be buying on ebay

Don't forget that that is just for when it opens. People will be lined up before that. By hours.

Kirbe' and the Rainbow Curse comes out tomorrow so you definitely need a Meta Knight.

I'd love to, but Nintendo leaving money on the table as usual. It's just great how of the three amiibos supported in the game, only Kirby will ever be easily to get.
 
Ordered 2 Sonics last night via Best Buy's website, only option was in-store pickup. Closest store to me showed them as available. Purchased successfully. Received an email that my order was processing. Then received another email 5 minutes later that that particular store no longer had any stock, and my order could be filled by changing to a different store. Head to their website. Try to change my store for fulfillment. Won't give me the option. Only option is to cancel my order.

Die in a fire, Best Buy.
 
Alright. what the hell is going on with Best Buy. I just got a shipment notification for my Ike this afternoon and its arriving tomorrow. How is this even possible, Best Buy is notorious for everything arriving late.

Thank your for telling me. Your order is now set to arrive Spring/Summer along with GameStop Ike and Dedede.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND.

Same with my Meta Knight & King DeDeDe...got the shipping notification today and it says it will be here tomorrow. I thought for sure there was no way I was getting it on release day.
 
Called Best Buy and looks like there not even sure if they'll get anything besides Meta Knight. All I want is an Ike, I got Meta Knight coming in through the mail.

I'd say yes, but I haven't opened the ones I've gotten recently. Plus, wouldn't importing be a tad expensive?
Click to expand...

I had a chance to pre-order Meta Knight for $16.99 back when the pre-order went live, but decided not to over what TRU did and how BB has been messing things up..... I am still miffed that I could not place a pre-order anywhere to get a Majora's Mask figure....

So I imported the total cost for my Meta Knight was about $23.... but I have him in hand along with my only other amiibo Kirby.

Apparently BBTS is selling him but he is already pre-sold out

If I were to get sucked into the amiibo "collecting" thing.... I would only pick up Megaman, Pac-Man, and R.O.B.

Oh unrelated I had to buy this......

I loved this the moment I saw it and I don't even play skylanders..... but it looks great next to my computer.
 
So I guess I'm lining up at my local Best Buy early tomorrow morning to see if I get lucky with a Meta Knight. I asked how many they were getting and if they were only for pre-orders or not and they (unsurprisingly) had no idea, or at least told me they had no idea.

Argh. I don't see this going well. :P

I've been telling people today that we had a few to sell in the AM, get there early, and may the odds be ever in their favor.

ok question did anybody legit preorder an metaknight amiibo from best buy?

Because we got like 11 of them in the store and if there were 11 of me in the store im sure we could all "claim" them. So becareful
Click to expand...

im hoping common sense is used for pre orders by putting them in customer service , because if meta knights are in the amiibo section then RIP to pre orders and someone could buy all of them.
 
I ordered sonic for pick up yesterday on Bestbuy.com So the sonics that were able to be picked up at BB yesterday won't let me pick them up as its not available to pick up anymore. Should I cancel or try to get Best buy online to give me something?

They aren't allowed to say exact amounts over the phone. Go to your local bb store in person and get a knowledgeable person who has inventory access to check for you. Like I've said before numerous times in this thread this is exactly what I did, my closest BB only had 6 meta's but another one near me has 11. The store that has 11 meta's is the store I will be lining up tomorrow morning.

Hello GAF,

This is esmith's mom. He is in jail right now for spraying a pregnant lady with mace at BestBuy. He used his phone call to tell me to tell you guys that he won't be securing a Meta Knight tomorrow.
Click to expand...

That was very creative excuse to not get metaknight and getting a good sympathy gift from AmiiboGAF! :O

(yes, I saw your second post that you were joking but it was totally random moment lol)

Now the only one I'm missing is Villager!

Awesome! Congrats! I guess AzulaGAF didn't get back to you for Villager?

For those that asked:

Waited 15 minutes in the video game section while the one employee couldn't figure out which controller charge cable the customer he was helping needed (she had a ps3, and he couldn't figure out which one was which), while only side eyeing me; not so much as an "ill be right with you." After he finally got her the right cord, he walks away right past me with something in his hand to go put on the shelf with, again, 0 acknowledgment. I waited a few more minutes, and after nothing, I walked to the other side of the section where he was talking to another employee in car audio. This time, he does look up at me, and, not before rolling his eyes, asks "What?" I mention I know he's probably asked about it a lot, but if he knew if he knew anything about the Metaknights for tomorrow. He audibly sighs, says no, and turns back to his friend. Confused, I ask if he could check to see if they at least had any that weren't preordered. Ignored, still talking to friend. I mention that id rather not have to wait 2 hours in the cold for something they may not even have. His friend laughs, he turned to me, smirked and shrugged, and walked off. And that's when I walked out before I got into a shouting match with the manager I was seconds away from asking for.

i went in intending to get a new microwave, too, but fuck if i ever step foot in there, or any other best buy, again.

Having worked at GameStop for 5 years, it always blows my mind when I get that kind of service. I get you hate your job, but seriously? Come the fuck on.
Click to expand...

When you get service like that immediately report them to a manager. Seriously.

Reminds me of a thug wannabe that I dealt with in a Walmart before. I chewed him out, brought him to the back area where they do online pickup, had that employee call back a manager and let them know what a useless punk their " employee" was.

Ah, thanks. Wish I had time to go around and check various local BBs in person, but I don't. Pretty much have to just hope the one I'm going to will have extras...
 
Masked Man said:
Nah, but I know he's got a lot going on. If anyone else has an idea of where I can get a Villager, or if anyone has an extra they're looking to trade for something else, let me know! :D
Click to expand...

Thats true that he have a lot of things on his plate so I hope that he would do very well. Anyway I think I saw Villager being available on Amazon Germany for somewhat cheap price.

When I lined up for Rosalina at my local Target I arrived an hour before opening and I was 6th in line, and this was on a Sunday.

This time around for Meta it's at Bestbuy on a Friday, so better chances than a Sunday and an hour before is probably a safe bet which what I am doing.

Yeah, he seems like a good guy, and I wish him all the best as well.

Villager is half the price on Amazon Germany than it is in Japan, but I don't think I can place an order from Japan, even on stores that say they ship internationally. :( Anyone able to help me out?

Got my Sonic and Megaman from Toys R Us. Meta Knight's available for in store pick up tomorrow, and I can pick up Ike and Dedede from Gamestop on the 25th. After that, it's just a waiting game for Wave 4.
 
I'm glad that I already picked up Metaknight from Best Buy couple of hours ago so I don't have to worry about them giving my Metaknight away.
