Finally found a Mega Man!
They had one of each from the wave with Captain Falcon and what not at the Gamestop on the Layton mall in Utah. Got lucky, I guess!
 
So it seems like amiibo waves have been coming out during the second and third week of each month.
Pre orders usually go up a month beforehand.

That being said, is next week projected to be chaos?
 
Those who imported amiibo through Tenso, what kind of description did you have them put on the customs declaration on the box? Think I might go for "Plastic toy" with a total value of 2000 yen or something (I'm ordering 4 amiibo), but not sure if that would raise any flags :/

(I really don't want to pay customs fees, as that would make this even more expensive than it already is...)
 
Went to gamestop and have been searching for toon link and they had two I stock! So I bought one for me and one for my brother. Super excited!

Awesome, Toon Link is one of the better looking Amiibos, has great design work on his tunic and the sword isn't floppy.
 
Going on an epic quest to Best Buy to get the Aonuma special mii and to Target or Walmart or something to look for a plastic bin to store my amiibo. I need something since I have them in cardboard boxes and they are prone to getting dust on them in there.
 
Is toon link hard to find? I haven't seen him before and target has 2 of him.

Not really, Bowser, Toon Link and Sheik are fairly common. I think even MegaMan and Sonic are becoming common now.
I called plenty of stores today here in Lima, Peru and they only have commons now :( Apparently new stock is arriving later this week so I'll keep an eye out for Meta Knight and Dedede.
 
I'm going amiibo hunting to see if I can find a Sonic or a Dedede in the wild (lol). I'm traveling till the other extreme of the city and is probably gonna take me the whole day and I'm already 98% sure I will find nothing but Bowsers and Luigis but it's sunday so. Wish me luck :'(

Call the stores instead?
 
I just calculated how much I spent on Amiibos and I'm depressed. I can't wait until this set is over. LOL. I have a lot of doubles, one to open and one to keep in the box. This is not for the faint of heart (or wallet) LOL.
 
Any tips for touching up dings (and also fixing paint mistakes)? My friend fuckin dropped my Villager and now it has some slight scuffs on the hair. Nothing huge, I'm just very detail oriented with the paint jobs on these things :V
 
I keep them in a nice storage box temporarily until I have the time/skill to replicate the Smash 64 box.

I..... need..... that............
 
Someone cleaned out the Megamans at my local TRU. Was there Friday and was tons of them, and today there were just like 10 empty pegs where they were Friday.
 
Aw shittttt it begins.

So I was gonna snag a little Mac the other day from another Best Buy. One of my friends wanted one and my other coworker wanted it. When I called the dumb bitch on the phone said they were only for preorders. You can't preorder it after it's been released.

Anyways today my coworker found out that a worker over there hoarded like all the amiibos and had a family member come buy them. I think a customer complained and managed to get 1. Buying 6 is fucking scalping...
 
Well maybe if you Canadian jerks didn't run away we would have already known this as well. >:C

Edit: Top of page, telling it like it is.
 
Damn, the lack of preorders seems to be killing hype. This thread had been on the same page for almost 24 hours now. Same with other places.

I'm honestly scared I'll get distracted and get into something else and forget about them and miss the preorders. It won't hit me till they're released and nowhere to be found.
