lol i saw this online
 
I hope they offer some online. Don't want to check every BB around me hunting them down.
I have a feeling that they won't and basically have people scramble looking for those 2 in stores only. At best maybe it be like Fox where you can buy it online ship to store on Best buy site but only the ones near you.
 
Bowser and Yoshi from Super Mario series are available right now at Walmart.com for pre-order.

I'm going to pass.
 
My Best Buy receives shipments on Wednesdays and Fridays. Not that it does me much good while I'm on a business trip. This is exactly how I missed Rosalina too.

Glad I work at Best Buy, maybe we will get some tomorrow. I think 2 of my friends want a Little Mac. I managed to get him on release day :)
 
I really hope Nintendo's recent tweets about the Gold Mario preorders only accounting for a fraction of the store's stock is true. I won't be waiting in line but I will arrive as the store is opening to see if I can get one.

I hope the store is filled with Gold Mario amiibo. That'll make the people who spent theirs at scalper prices look rather silly.

I remember seeing bids for Wii-U pre-orders selling on ebay for $700 a month or so before release. I don't understand people sometimes.
 
Anybody have any experience with the ECO shipping option with Nippon-Yasan? What am I in for?

Friend ended up ordering me two amiibo's off their site and is now worried about them and I'm trying to calm her down.

I have, they arrived in perfect condition. No worries.
 
I saw that Nintendo said releasing amiibo figures is hard because some of them are hand made. Which ones exactly would those be? The batch of Meta Knights whose face armor looks like a dirty ass '96 Civic hubcap? Just wondering.

I'm wondering with the poor packaging, the choppy paint job, and the constntly moving release dte, intendo fell really behind on making Meta Knights

Yea, I'm a bit confused about it. You got King Dedede, Mega Man, Lucario for example who all look AMAZING, and then there's Marth's face, Peach's face, just fucking terrible.
 
Shulk is another candidate for low supply due to manufacturing problems. He is really complex with a lot of separate parts glued on for details.

Dedede has lots of parts as well, though his paint job seems consistently the best of almost every amiibo so far.

Peach is one of the reasons I'm not going for a whole collection. She was one of the first ones I saw in person, and when I looked at her face I said nope. Even her trophy stance is lame to me. She's a smash bros amiibo but looks like she's a mario tea party amiibo. She should be doing something either cool or funny, like holding a turnip or toad. Same goes for Zelda.

That sounds like what the secondary trophies are for though... Why would Nintendo make a flagship character mainly aimed at girls do something "cool?"
I guess Mario does have his fireball streak, I thought that was an interesting choice for the main trophy/amiibo.

Why assume those two characters are aimed at girls? And if we go with the presumption that those two characters are marketed for girls, why does that mean they can't be doing something funny, charming, or cool? These are for gaming fans, more directly for people who dig Smash Bros, whether they are girls or guys. And as a smash bros fan and a fan of Peach as a fighter, I find her trophy concept dull, and the execution, i.e., her face, cringe-worthy.
 
Been 2 weeks past the expected ship date for the Lucario that I ordered from Amazon UK. They didn't offer tracking to the US. I emailed them and they said it was probably lost and gave me a full refund.

Anyone else have issues with importing from them?

I ordered a Lucario from them as well back when it first released. No tracking either and took just about 2 weeks to arrive. There might be a chance it still arrives (emphasis on the "might").
