So I ordered three Amiibos from Amazon.co.uk (Ike, Lucario, and Wii Fit Trainer) and it says they were supposed to arrive around this time, but they haven't shown up yet. What are other USA-AmiiboGAF's experiences of ordering from them?
 
There are still plenty of Rosalinas here in Peru. I haven't gotten one because I don't really care for that character, I would happily get her and trade her for a MegaMan (if possible) but I guess the distance and shipping costs (not to mention the risk of the package being damaged) would be a deal breaker.

::All the Peru scalpers just ran out to their local stores::

Anyone know how I can get Marth, Ike or Rosalina? I live in the US. I only started collecting recently :(

Any tips on pre-ordering any from the next wave?
 
Was in best buy today d saw the clerk rolling a stock cart toward video games with Amiibo on it. Managed to grab a Sheik and Mega Man off the cart. He had Sonic too. I haven't seen any of these in a store are they rare ones?
 
Anyone looking for Shiek? My wife found one at TRU today and picked it up. I'm really only collecting the characters I want and I'm not really into Shiek.

Is trading done in here or in the BST thread?

The next wave hasn't started preorders in the US yet, and most overseas places that had preorders have already dried up. Ike and Rosey may be possible to find if you look around a bit. Rosey's Target only.

Marth and Rosalina: importing and online scalpers. That's it. Well, you might find Rosalina in a Target store if you're prone to experiencing miracles, but it's extraordinarily unlikely. Ike, you could try waiting for the next batch coming in May or pray he pops up online somewhere, but if you want him right now for sure, it's the same case as Marth and Rosalina - scalpers and imports.

As for Wave 4, it's not available for pre-order here except for at FYE in-store (which may have ended and seems very likely to fall through anyway). Follow this thread and r/amiibo a lot and you should catch when pre-orders go up, but there are also services you can subscribe to such as NowInStock.net and a couple of GAFfer run resources. When they do go up, I'd recommend pre-ordering ASAP, as later orders (particularly with the last wave) have been delayed and/or canceled all too frequently. Avoid pre-ordering from Best Buy and TRU if you can as they've had numerous issues, everyone else is pretty much equally reliable now-a-days.
 
Called GameStop, all my Amiibos FINALLY arrived, but I'm restricted to only one Ike and Dedede (as opposed to my previous order of 3 and 2 respectively). Even though I planned to only take home two Ike (one for my
STUPID
friend who decided at the last possible minute he wanted the fire emblem characters).

But he said there's no limit on my 3x Sonic and 2x Mega Man

DAMN STRAIGHT YOUR NOT LIMITING MY SONICS

Thank you!! Yea bestbuy seems messed up since they don't show current inventory for in store pickup. So basically have to get lucky and find it in store. Weird how I can easily find a good amount of the first wave still, thankfully.
 
I went to my gamestop today, and they said they only got 2 of their 9 Ike preorders, so i didnt get mine :/ i did get my Sonic and i just found a megaman in Best Buy. I thought he was gonna be rare.
 
Nice. they had 2 ikes left for pre-order pickups and one of them was damaged to hell so I got the last good one. Sucks for that other person...lol.
 
GUYS I FINALLY GOT HIM... !
He looks better than I thought he would

I wished people sold out of box Amiibos. I want Rosalina, and I don't care if it is in a box or the condition of the box in any way as long as the toy itself is fine.

Mine took an extra day or two after the "delivery date" . i had ordered sheik and ike from amazon UK.
 
My Sonic arrived in a bubble mailer from Best Buy, damaged.

So I called customer service to report it. It's not the first instance they've heard and the CSR put in two complaints, one general and one internal.

If you guys get your Amiibos shipped from Best buy improperly, give them a call. They need to be aware that this is unacceptable. You can probably get a credit, too, though I didn't try.

Same thing to happened to me with TRU.
 
Got my megaman preorder from my GS but sonic, ike and Dedede were all M.I.A.

Got damn lucky today, got a text to pick up Mega Man and ended up getting him along with Sonic, Ike, and DeDeDe. Feels good!

Now if only I can get Marth, Fox, Little Mac, Pit, Captain Falcon, and all the retailer exclusive ones. The only common I have left to get is Zelda. :/
 
I'm making too many Pocahontas references lately.
But I'm about to leave and FINALLY get my Sonic amiibos, I feel Ratcliffe during the marching segment of "Savages", drawing my sword singing "This will be the day! LET'S GO MEN!"

That last part is because one of my friends is coming with me to get them.

Nintendo has confirmed that card forms of Amiibo are coming, but are other forms coming as well? It looks like that may be the case!

The english version of the Nintendo Q&A finally got posted today (which discussses the Port Strike among other things) and there was this interesting quote as well…

"I just mentioned in my presentation today that we will also sell card-format amiibo products. By taking advantage of the shorter delivery time and lower productions costs for card products, we would like to further expand how amiibo can be used in yet more play styles. In addition, our development team has been testing various forms of amiibo other than plastic figures. We hope we can propose amiibo products in various forms in the future."

Omg, it's happening ...

The wait for Wave 4 begins.

Same here. I was pretty easily able to pre-order wave 2 and 3 at BB (GCU + B2G1free was KILLER) and they delivered so I was spoiled but I feel like pre-orders will be tougher to get this time around.

Thank God Wave 4 is relatively smaller. Wave 3 was brutal.

Good experience. Check tracking. Thats what I did. If its an i-parcel, copy the tracking number and put it into i-parcel's website for more detailed info. Might be stuck in customs? Happened to me before. Whats your order date and the ship date?

No tracking available, no i parcel, nothing, the ship date has already passed for all three. They could be stuck in customs, true :(

I also had good experiences with Amazon.co.uk. I ordered a Lucario from the uk and a friend of mine also ordered one plus a Star Fox. It took a long while, but they turned up eventually and in good condition. I've got a Wii Fit Trainer and Ike being shipped as we speak too, so I sort of expect it to be a while before they show up.
 
Picked up my dedede and megaman from GS today.

Funny story - i saw a guy I recognized from when I went to TRU for sonic. I suspected that he was a scalper (older guy, carried around like 2 ipads as he stood in line checking stock at various stores). I talked to the GS employee and he pretty much confirmed my suspicion.

And yes, the guy looked just as sad and pathetic as a scalper would.
 
If anyone happens to have a spare Dedede or Ike in the next week - please send me a PM.

Last two I need for a complete collection, and freaking NewEgg dropped my pre-orders like they don't even matter....
 
Anyone have a theory as to why preorders haven't gone up in the US yet? These are to release in a month or two, right? X_X I'm anxious...I feel like everytime I go to sleep I'm going to miss out ;_;
 
Probably just working out the retail exclusive situation, or hopefully just waiting for the MP amiibos to come out.
 
Thanks to a trade with SAKY, I got Rosalina, the last of Wave 3 I needed! Really looking forward to being able to get Wave 4 locked in.
 
Big thanks to amiibo amigo sebco for the trade! Was able to meet up and just trade in person my extra Shulk for a Rosalina, since we live surprisingly close to one another.

FInally! All the princesses are saved!

With both DeDeDe and Ike on their way and Shulk for May, all I need now is a Meta Knight and Wave 3 is completed.....*cries*

Anyone have any extra MKs pls? ;___;
