Not for me. When it finally arrives I can stop F5ing all day.

Coming soon, the Silver Edition Mario Amiibo, available exclusively during the Nintendo World Store Egg Roll in Central Park. (Only 200 available, Nintendo not liable for accidents that occur during Egg Roll).
I don't think anyone is relaxing...I think everyone is eager to get preorders in so they can THEN relax.
Got my freelance pay today to buy the next wave. Now to find some more so I can buy a place to put them all...

Yeah this is the least relaxed I've been since Amiibos came out... Really worried about Ness...
I just wanted to save me some headaches, especially since I'm a big fan of the Kirby series and I didn't want to miss out on those two.
I do wish you all the best with securing a Meta Knight Amiibo, though.

All I really want from the next wave is Lucina.
Yeah I'm guessing mid-late April myself, Pre-orders should be going up in about a week or so I'm guessing (hoping).

I had heard a rumor that in France they will be available on April 24.

April 24th is what I've heard also, but I can't remember where at the moment...
I've seen April 24 everywhere for Europe, pretty sure it's the official date, and it's not surprising: it's always the friday between 20th and 25th each month since december if I'm not mistaken.
That being said, I expect release date to be broken in shops... It's impossible to get Amiibos in store here because of this.

I'm debating whether I want to just drop 30 bucks on a Shulk or wait for the Gamestop restock and see if I can snag one.

So... curious what everyone's method is of watching for the Wave 4 Pre-orders to go live here in NA. I'm super inefficiently going to amazon every few minutes and searching for a Ness Amiibo, but I have a feeling that's probably the worst way to handle it... Sticking around this thread is my only backup plan, hoping someone here notifies us when they show up... what's your plan?

Rosalina and Luma Officially Discountinued at Target
http://www.reddit.com/r/amiibo/comments/2ypl3v/rosalina_officially_discontinued/
They won't get anymore in or carry it, that doesn't mean other retailers won't. It could be that Target is continuing their choice to not carry so many Amiibos in store and this one was next. It was sold at the Nintendo World Store recently, so it may mean it is coming to new retailers soon.
Or its done, which is the most likely scenario.

Target regrets getting involved with this exclusives debacle. lol
Seems like the gold Mario delay e-mails were sent in error....

Wondering if another retailer would pick it up or just can the exclusivity all together for Rosalina

I also got the delay email and was in the first wave of preorders.
I wrote a program to search for me. Every 60 seconds, it queries Gamestop, Target, Best Buy, and Amazon for Amiibo. If the number of Amiibo related items changes, it sends me an email. If my phone gets an email about this, it has a specific ringtone set to play.
...If you aren't bullshitting, that is absolutely awesome. I wish I had brains 'n' shit.
Not at launch, but it's speculated it will be sold separately sometime in early April.

Sounds like it would return a lot of false positives...?
I can't code though, anyone else have a solution or are we all just waiting for someone else to tell us? If you're F5-ing all day, what exactly are you F5-ing?
I'd rather get false positives than not receive a notice when something does go up
And I've thrown in some things to minimize risk of false positives. For example, the Amazon one doesn't look at item count at all. It iterates through each search page looking for "Lucina" or "Ness" to pop up.Byron Bluth

Yes, there is a listing in Target's inventory database for a Mario MP10 Amiibo releasing Friday April 3rd.
Unless it is a suprise Silver Mario (unlikely since it does not say that in the listing), then it should release about 2 weeks after the MP10 bundle with him.

Yeah, this sounds right. The quality of the Mario Party 10 Mario figure is really nice too. I actually prefer it to the Smash Mario Amiibo. That traditional look works really well with the Amiibo style design.

Wow, nice. Sounds like you're the only one in here with a plan better than ... well, no plan.
EDIT - about that Toad at Best Buy issue, it won't add for me either, but the Mario Party Luigi does, is that old news? I don't want one, just thought I'd share...

Dang! I wish I could get that little dude from Best Buy. I have him ordered on Amazon, but have all the rest of the SMB wave from Best Buy with GCU. Oh well.
Gold Mario NOT delayed at Wal Mart, official statement:

Guess we'll be getting emails soon.

Good stuff!
At least it wasn't a mass cancellation mistake like TRU with Wave 3.
That has to of been the worst Amiibo fuck up by a retailer so far.
From the Smash Wii U OT
Amiibos are ridiculous.

I'm sitting here trying to figure out what "Den Hopper" is a reference too, finally got it.

Rosalina is coming back soon.
As the Mario series figure. Same functionality, so I sincerely doubt Nintendo will reprint the Smash Bros series.

How long before the street date did the previous waves go up for pre-order? and who gets them first?... Is it all just... wibbly wobbly timey wimey? Or is there a system?

I got an email from Nebraska Furniture Mart saying that my order was cancelled "due to their strict security/fraud measures. Although cancellation of the order does not imply fraud, it was considered high risk for shipping."
I ordered a single Mega Man amiibo and I was shipping it to Maine.
Maybe it's because I had separate shipping/billing addresses (both were in Maine, however billing address was my parents house from my debit card I got before college, and my shipping address is the apartment I now live in), but they were both under my name.
That's a bummer.
