Yeah I don't think I could justify paying over $300 so far for amiibos if this wasn't the case. I can get some of that back, anyway. The people that don't resell any at all and yet still are going for the whole collection, that's some dedication that is heavy on the wallet. Something like $600 for 49 amiibos. Good grief.

That brings up a good point. How long has your imports taken everyone?
Amazon.de - CF & Diddy were in stock, ordered Dec 19, received Dec 29 with Amazon regular shipping (the middle option)
Amazon.fr - Pit was in stock, ordered Dec 19, received Dec 26 with Amazon regular shipping.
Marth & Villager was in stock, ordered Dec 18, shipped Dec 19, scheduled delivery is Jan 18 (wtf right?) with Amazon regular shipping.
Amazon.uk - CF was in stock, ordered Dec 18, received Dec 30 with Amazon regular shipping. I tried canceling this order but was too late so I wasted my $ on the extra CF, but I ended up helping locals on Craigslist who couldn't find the U.S. version, so all good.
You guys are freaking me out with all your Pit cancellation woes from TRU. I keep checking my email but it doesn't say he's cancelled yet. I sure hope he makes it. I have a sealed Pit from gamestop but there's a noticeable brown paint spot on his arm that my OCD won't let me unsee...
Well I've been waiting on a shipment from amazon.de for over two weeks now and it looks like it still has some time to go. My packaged was flagged and needed to be inspected which held up my package for 6 days apparently. Anybody else have this happen?
I think you might be right that daily dose is actually mariotheplumber aka John. His action now suddenly made sense since he want to retaliate back to collectors here for shitting on scalpers.
Edited: I decided to check my chat log. I didn't even realized that MariotehPlumber actually came in chatroom under alias, Daily Dose after moderators banned his username.
Evidence:
Yeah, it's him. Anyway, it's better if we don't give him that kind of attention because he want it.
edited 2: Never mind. His NeoGAF account got banned. It was rather quick.
Well that was far back!

Tracking on my Amazon.de order hasn't updated since Dec 22 so maybe I'm in the same boat as you. The tracking doesnt say anything about inspection though.
If you log in, you can see the tracking number on the right column.
Right, I only learned about it being flagged by visiting the i-parcel website and inputting my tracking number

With my Luigi arriving tomorrow that means my collection is complete until the next wave. Feels good 
Strange, mine hasn't been cancelled yet. That one is the backup anyway to my Amazon.fr order.

That was really enjoyable. I was chuckling throughout the entire video.

My Marth and WFT got sent from Amazon.de this morning, but Villager wasn't included in the first order. Hopefully they didn't run out of stock or something.
Edit: Err, nevermnid, just got an email that he shipped out on his own. Now I got two packages, but at least everything seems to be in order. Should all be here in a couple weeks then.

Just for the benefit of a larger sample size, I'm in the exact same boat.

WOW! That is really cool! My wife would LOVE a wooly Yoshi. Any links to the item with more images?

Oh boy, can't wait to get canceled.
I got a lucario order in at their eBay store, so if they cancel I can at least shit on them with a negative feedback. They sell in such high volume that it wont matter though. They've got 800 negative or neutral feedbacks in the last month alone.

Anybody know of any resellers on Amazon.de or Amazon.fr that ship Villager to the US? I'm not able to find any.
Top of the plastic is mad crushed. My condolences to my Canadian brethren

Yeah it's one thing I do like in the EU version is that we have numbering. I'll list the numbering.

That's awesome!

That's how awesome Captain Falcon is. The box is crushed and yet even his leg stopped the pressure. Imagine how good the Falcon Punch is then.
Awesome.
Fake edit: Wow, even MarioTehPlumber commented on your video.

I got two packages with amiibo from amazon. One was packed nicely but the other had three and they used no stuffing and tried to stick them together bending two and even having the top be ripped a little. Sucks that i started a sealed collection and now having issues with shipping. I just dont understand why some employees dont think some people will keep them in the box

My account was just authorized yesterday (didn't realize until now) so this is my first post on NeoGAF. I've been stalking this thread (and the older OT1 thread) for weeks waiting for approval so I could share my amiibo related adventures. I've currently complete all of Wave 1 and 2 with all of Wave 3 done including the Rosalina/Luma Target preorder (I stood up early at 5am because of you guys and got that preorder locked down). I've also wanted to share my amiibo display I've customized at Ikea. It's pricy but worth it since it will fit all future Waves down the line.
If you guys want the components I've purchased to make this I'll post the links.
Thanks and I cannot wait to experience more NeoGAF in the future.

Put in a Mac there, thanks. It's at least a source of hope while I keep looking for him elsewhere, kind of worried he's never going to pop up again at this point.

1 week later.
Mmmmm!
That's a really nice stand. It's a huge shame that Links piss block stand just sticks out so badly. C'mon Nintendo.
If it won't ship to your address that means Amazon isn't selling it themselves. Third parties usually won't ship to the US. It's all the same info that's on the US Amazon site. I don't know a lick of German but if you use Amazon with any regularity it's easy to know what everything says.
Villager listing:
Diddy listing:
As you can see, Villager is being sold by a third party so it won't ship to US. Diddy is being sold by Amazon itself so it will ship to the US.

Best Buy shipped my orders!
Pit and Falcon!!!
Pit and Falcon!!!
Villager can no longer be ordered from any of the foreign amazons. Well you can place an order at .fr and .it but it just says it's out of stock and they'll notify you when they get more.
Marth can still be ordered at amazon.fr with a 2-4 week wait.
Wiifit trainer can still be ordered from amazon.de. No wait.
Didn't check anything else.
Finally! My 6 commons I ordered from TRU arrived.. But a few of them were a little damaged... and I have drunk Samus... sigh
Ironically, these were the first Amiibos I purchased.. this is the collection they arrived to when they got here..
Now, the ones that were messed up were Pikachu and Link...
First of all, look how weird he looks. Link is basically looking down, so much so, you cant even see his face. Is this normal?
Not to mention.. hes basically Merth... Look at these eyes... They are haunting my dreams..
Then Pikachu's packaging has a crease in it..
Tempted to send back Link and Pika... or just re-buy them later on down the line.
That Link though.. jesus..

Well guys,
In the last thread I talked about how I pretty much impulse bought 8 Amiibos, without even having a Wii-U
Well today I finally receieved my first one, which is Captain Falcon, and I must say I am very underwhelmed with the quality.
With that said, I cancelled my Bowser and Shiek Preorder.
When the other 5 gets here I will likely only be keeping Pit and possibly Falcon, and returning the other 4.
Hope you guys enjoy, but I guess this just wasnt for me.
