Man, this will make you bitter. Missed first pre-order wave because of dental appointment. Second because of business meeting. Third because I took my wife to dinner. Come on, Nintendo, aren't I allowed to have a life?

Fixed. And no. Not if you're an amiibo collector. What was that article that talked about how NOA despised their fans? Was it that Emily Rogers article about the Gamecube era?

Certainly feels that way. I mean I hate to be a whiner, but damn. I kind of remember that article...going to have to dig it up again.
 
Just for the record, after my mini-rant about people buying multiples, I was really tempted to get 2 myself. I don't know what's right and what's wrong anymore. Maybe I could've helped one of you out. Amiibos have made me question my worldview.

Will ship these in the morning!
 
How is it possible for me to not be busy any today when gold Mario is sold out, but when he comes back I can't buy it?

First time - morning class
Second time - afternoon class
Third time - dinner

Fourth times a charm?

I'm willing to bet we'll see another batch of cancelations before the night is up, so I also bet there will be a fourth time before the night is up.
 
Once I saw these two posts I immediately started refreshing lol
Thanks to you Gaffes. You're the real MVP

although, I, rather curious dallow, how did you know they sent out cancellations?

iirc he said his friend that ordered 5 (2+2+1) got an email with cancels. Not sure which specific orders, or all of them
 
Not if they take the excess stock and put it back for pre-order.
Gives more chances to those that actually want it.

Not necessarily. By having more people able to get them, that means there's less people looking on ebay for them. Potentially killing reseller sales.

Not necessarily. The rereleased amiibos are probably going to fans who might have been priced out of the market before but could afford them at retail price. They are also more likely to open them and not resell it, which leaves less stock for the uber rich but not always paying attention crowd, which will drive up the process for those who do resell. Again, this is unverified conjecture but it's a possibility.
 
Dang. I noticed it before I opened him, but thought I'd be able to push it back together. Oh well. The important thing is that I got him! It's not like there are any places that I could have exchanged him at right now anyway.

I wouldnt worry about that its not as noticeable as other paint app issues I've seen on D3. Overall though I think he is the best quality Amiibo or top 3 for sure.

No. Amiibo are your life now. We've all joined a cult we didn't know about.

...I saw the gold Mario was up, I had it in my cart. And then I closed out the window. I don't need it, damn it. I won't sell it if I buy it. I won't give it up once it's in my possession.

Damn you Nintendo...
 
On amazon for megaman I'm getting "In stock on March 2, 2015.
Order now and we'll deliver when available. We'll e-mail you with an estimated delivery date as soon as we have more information. Your account will only be charged when we ship the item. " but I can't add to cart.


edit: nvm it's gone.
 
God damn, this shit is pissing me off. I hope that guy that I PMed with keeps it for me here on GAF if I can't snag any for myself -_-;
