Going to call GameStop in the morning about my SM lineup...still haven't received my preorder text.
Target is a better bet IMO.

Yeah, seems like it. FWIW a Target near me had a bunch in on Weds but they were obviously streetdated.
I stood and watched a guy at target upack like 6 boxes of Amiibo. There were all the new generic Mario crew. I was hoping there would be a gold Mario - like a Willy Wonkers lucky golden ticket. I wouldve leapt over the counter. Its funny how they're getting more stock of this line than they did of Smash. I anticipate the demand wont nearly be as high.

Type in your zip code to see if your Target has Toad and how many: http://brickseek.com/target-inventory-checker?dpci=207-00-5027
Damn, that is actually a healthy amount of toads, 12 per store, it shouldn't be rare at all.

My local store is only getting 4. Doesn't seem like many. Most around me are getting 4 or 8, with a few 12s. We'll see. Depends on demand I think.
Not so around me. Some have 8 but several had 4 and a few had 0.
Um this is because they were supposed to be in the back as opposed to on the salesfloor
Seems all the Targets near me are getting 8 Toad.
So with buying Gold Mario at retail price seemingly gone, would you guys recommend picking one up for $50 - $60 now? I'm just afraid that'll end up being the low scalper price. Outside of Ness and Pac-Man, he's the only one not accounted for so I'm willing to spend a little extra now just to lock him up.
What do ya think?

No but this is Toad's first release and he's sold out the quickest out of the new line whenever preorders have gone up.

You have to cut off the leg before putting the pelvis into a box. How do you expect to dispose of the body if people can still see that you are transporting body parts?
Called about 30 stores and everyone was super rude. First store had 8 in line and 8 in stock, guy was all "sorry bruh". Went to one random WM and was first in line at 11pm. The second guy (actually my old neighbor from years ago) came with his kid. Small world. At 11:55 there was four in line. We all got them! Grapevine, TX if you're in the area. Good luck guys!
They didn't have any other stock of SMBs or even Mario Party! The 7 year old kid wanted a toad, I felt bad and let him cut.

I'm in line, looks like I managed to lock one, so pumped 
Yeah, what's the deal with that? I ordered them online for in-store pickup, but when I checked the status on their website it still says "open" and has nothing but blank space where the item name and shipment info should be put.
Sorry, but why is this difficult to decide? Get the one that is already guaranteed.

So...chances of coming across a Gold Mario in-store the first week?
Or is this one literally a gone after a few hours, and never to be seen on shelves again?

That's awesome! We ordered one from the online store, but we haven't heard anything about it since, so who knows if it's still alive or not. lol

Believe!
Never been into these amiibos before but the gold Mario intrigued me after seeing it the other day and being rejected so me and two friends strolled over to our local Walmart to see if they had any around 11pm.
Got there and only one guy was in line, they had 8 in total but limited us to 1 per person. One guy strolled in right at midnight which left 3 left over.
Had this been any other week they would've been accounted for quickly as I am in a college town but it's spring break week and all the college kids are out of town so it was quite an easy go for these. Debating stopping by GameStop tomorrow to see if they have toad in stock. Don't need these at all but they do make nice display pieces. At the very least I do wanna get the mega man I saw there the other day.

Damn, it's 3:30AM and there is already a huuuge line at the NWS. Damn, if only they had MK last week. Hope I get all 5 of the exclusives today.
Same for me on the site :/
i receive a good discount at my store. It depends how the stock goes.

I can answer that; trade goods.
It's easier to trade gold Mario for Ike than it is Luigi after all...

I really wish they would make a Silver Luigi and just make him over abundant everywhere.

Absolutely!
Though you better actually follow through. I am tired of selling/trading with GAF, I still have a Rosie on me that so many asked about, but no one actually bit!
