I agree to this.
20 is the most reasonable spot I think for buying them above MSRP.
So long as shipping is included with that price.

$20 is reasonable, plus you'll have peace of mind knowing you have him for when he goes away. As someone said earlier he's going for $25 to $30 on Ebay not including shipping, so yeah worth it.

I'm still seeing in stock at Amazon
love the eyebrow version
Not for retail price.
Amazing. Thanks. Doesn't look too bad while small.
EDIT: Cropped part of it off so it'd scale better.

I'm seeing $12.99 free shipping. I bought one. I can't buy more because it says quantity limit met. Just refreshed and it's the same.
Roughly shes been available a bit more than that.
I've had a page refreshing on target.com every 8 seconds for roughly 2 months in attempt to get her and have been up multiple times during her availability window and missed her everytime by seconds having her pulled out from checkout 3 times and even getting a reciept for 0.00$ when trying to purchase her somehow... Im starting to think its fate.
For the entirity of my storied attempts to get a rosalina amiibo please see OT1 lol.

What's up, guys?
Few updates:
My Donkey Kong came in; got it for $3.20 after a rewards certificate. Nice figure, pretty heavy compared to the others. Nice paint job as well.
Struck out at ToysRUs for a Pit. He's too tough right now.
Managed to get a Marth from game.UK for retail price this morning. Was up momentarily. Happy about that.

Remove them from packaging and ship them in comfy box?
She's impossibky hard to get in US. And its only getting hairier as it gets closer to release date.
Interesting. Way to go Amazon.
Also bought one earlier but now showing out of stock for me.
I tried to do that once before in Wave One and it didn't go too well haha.

I think the price was somehow cached into my session. I logged out of Amazon and back in and it has changed back to the scalp rate.

Hope you don't mind losing the question mark.
Thanks!

If you have a transparent avatar please ask the almighty Azula if you want one that doesn't look terrible!
Probably dumb question but do we expect every single character in the game to receive an Amiibo?
I really don't care about amiibos except for Luigi (which I already have) but I might get Duck Hunt whenever he's announced
They haven't said for sure, but they've said it's the plan. Considering they've done all the characters who were iffy on rights, there's none they can't do. So I'd expect them all too.

From the Best Buy in Sherman Oaks, CA earlier today:
Oni Island
Can I be honest with you guys about something?
After being burned from multiple retailers, specifically for the Pit Amiibo, I'm getting pretty peeved that Nintendo had dropped the ball for the availability of these figurines here in Canada. (Especially with what happened to me with my pre-order at Best Buy.) Seriously? Release the second wave for a couple of weeks, and then cut off the stores for ordering more? I don't care what they say, it's nonsense that most of the Amiibo's are widely available across Europe and Japan, but the rest of us here in North America have to jump through hoops & donate an organ just to get our favourites. At this point, I'm done with trying to get the Pit Amiibo. Yeah, I'm Finished!
However, I did the smart thing and went to my local EB Games tonight, and asked if they could put my name & number down. That way, once they get the email from Nintendo for when the 4th wave of Smash Amiibo's are available for pre-order, they will give me a call first thing and I'll bust my ass down to pre-order Ness & Pac-Man. In full. Under lock and key. In a vault. Anything, so that I won't be fucked again.

Aww, gee thanks!
Is that a Pit at the bottom? Nice!
That's an America away, and it's probably still the closest place selling a Pit Amiibo...
And I forgot to say it, but Happy Birthday, Azula!

Something interesting worth mentioning:
When I went to ToysRUs today to get rejected for a Pit amiibo, the guy was like,
"Yeah, we have a TON of amiibo in the back right here but they are all dated for February 1st. There's specific writing on all of the boxes."
So, as it stands, it looks like Wave 3 is, in fact, February 1st.

Oh man I got one without even asking. Well now I'll feel bad if I don't use it.
But that's like one of the best dungeons!
I noticed you bumped your LTTP after posting that, whoops. Sucks that you didn't like it. Oni Island and the lead up to the Ninetails fight (including the fight itself) is my favorite part of the game.
Damn, that is the first we heard of this, awesome! That would also explain why there are no more preorders right now, since they are supplying their stores first.

Dood just enjoy yourself! The ones who are truly your buds can wait as long as you require. Adding our names can wait. Doing avatars others can do. Your bday comes once a year! Enjoy! We'll be here awake waiting your return and Wave 4's appearance haha
Well, I know what day I'm gonna be running around everywhere.
