Wonder if that Shulk release is the same for the U.S. too? Guess it explains Amazon.de saying Feb 20th. Wonder the delay from the Feb 1st Wave 3 release.

I don't think so, Shulk should be releasing with the rest off the Wave 3 Amiibos at February the 1st in the U.S. It only splits apart in Europe and Japan.
 
So that's that :)

£10.99 each, I think they ship abroad.
 
Haha, nin-nin-game wouldn't refund me the whole amount (that -10% crap).

They backed out instantly as soon as I opened a Paypal resolution claim and refunded the whole thing... >_>

Now, should I pull the trigger on game.co.uk...
 
No wario on game yet? Or am i blind

I can't find him, you have to specifically search for Ness, just typing in Amiibo doesn't bring him up so maybe Wario is hiding on there somewhere too, its like a mini WarioWare game :P I don't care for Wario so I'm not getting him.
 
Geez, it is absolutely frustrating that the american retailers are dragging their feet on putting these up for pre-order. Hate being on the outside looking in!

Nintendo of America is doing no one any favors lately.
 
Does game.co.uk charge Paypal as soon as you pre-order?

Do they allow pre-order cancellations?

Cancelling is super easy...a bit too easy imo but I digress. You press Cancel and its done instantly. No warning or anything, just poof your order is gone. Not sure about PayPal but they charge your Card at dispatch.

In terms of packing, I ordered two Amiibo on two separate occasions (Little Mac and Villager) and they both came in their own box, filled with those air cushion things inside.

Awesome, pre-ordered the 4 Wave 4 I wanted in case I can't secure them on amazon.ca/ebgames.ca

21$/CAD a piece all included isn't that bad.
 
Ah, Toad's amiibo sold out as i was adding the Kirby faceplate to my Amiami order and went to checkout. People either really want that Kinopio or they weren't taking many orders for him. The Captain Toad game bundle was sold out as well.
I'm not worried yet, i really just wanted to test what the price+shipping would be if i just order them from Amiami instead of US retailers. Assuming the JPY stays low, i think it'll be pretty close.
[edit]
Amiami usually keeps pre-order allocations low, so it might just be that.
 
I still have all of Wave 3 pre ordered from Best Buy.com to be shipped to my house - NOT store pick up. Am I safe with that? Anyone have issues with pre ordering wave 2 from the site having an order not fulfilled?

FWIW all of my Wave 2 preorders shipped eventually. Seems safer than hoping the store will remember to hold your preorders.
 
So GAME are offering the new Amiibo for £10.99? They sell them in store for £14.99, will the price change after I've pre-ordered them, forcing me to pay more?

Not according to their site:

If I preorder an item and the price changes later, what happens?

If the price drops after you have preordered you will pay the lower price. If it goes up your order will stay low, so you will never be penalised for ordering early! This is our Preorder Price Promise!
 
The first Amiibo which is like half-rare where I live (Switzerland) is Little Mac, haven't seen him in stores (and there's plenty of EVERY other Amiibo) and it's out of stock at some online shops. Interesting. Maybe people are starting to discover Amiibos?
 
Waiting for Wario to be put up on GAME, have the other 5 in my basket

Decided not to bother with Classics yet, can't see them being hard to get when they're released
 
So that's it, I'm in it for the long haul. Despite some amiibo not looking so hot in terms of quality, I'm buying them all. Not just the Smash ones but every single type of amiibo that is released.

The collector and inner child in me are scream at the top of their lungs right now waiting for Wave 4 preorders to open. Just like in elementary school with my Pokemon and Yu-GiOh! card collecting craze (I was never really good at playing the games), I will take the amiibo craze by storm! And with my adult budget in tow, I will catch them all!

God help us all if Nintendo releases an amiibo Pokemon line with all 700+ monsters.
 
Do you guys think the Male Wii Fit Trainer will be amiibotized? Since he doesn't have his own spot in the roster, he's just an alternate version.
 
GAME order is done.

Went with 2 Charizards so I can actually open one. Best Pokémon, ya dig.
Only went with Toad from the classic line. I imagine they will all sell out eventually, but I'd rather focus on completing Smash and picking and choosing select characters otherwise.
 
Preordered wave 4 stuff that I wanted from Game.. and of course 2x copy for Lucina
unless I decided to grab a JP one just for ルキナ on the box :3
Hopefully you guys on the other side can start preorder it soon :)
