Taken 5 minutes ago. And they keep bringing out boxes from the back.

Jeez, I hope they have some Rosalinas left when I go check on Thurs morning. That's the soonest I can get there because I work a block away from the store on Thursdays and Fridays.

I have Lucario preordered at TRU, so not worried about him.
 
UK amiibros.

The Wario and Charizard I have ordered from Nintendo UK have an estimated dispatch date of 20th February. The same date as my Wave 3 preorders. Is this a mistake, or are the wave releases completely insane?
 
got to nintendo world at 1:30ish, didn't get out till 4 PM. ALL WORTH IT FOR ROSALINA. Now I await my metaknight!

Sorry for the grainy picture, low battery and please excuse the desk =/

Really hoping all these Amiibos at NW doesn't take away from some stores allotments, would be really crappy if Nintendo underdelivered just to have more available way before the stuff was sipposed to go out.

I would be shocked if this was true. NW didn't seem to know they were getting these and didn't take preorders for them, so I'm guessing overflow stock?
 
I sincerely hope their boxes of Rosalina weren't originally intended to be for Target Canada or anything like that.

Oh goodness imagine if that were the case.

Charged is good! Right?!

It's a positive, but i'm east coast so they may not even have their shipment yet, and weather may also be playing a factor. We'll see.

Gonna have to plan to go to my Target at 2/1 just to be sure at this rate.
 
I'm gonna pop into Target on Friday morning to see if I can get a gauge when they're coming. I'm also hoping to score a Lucario on Friday morning when TRU opens...we'll see what happens.
 
Jesus, I wish I could somehow get one of those Shulks.

If anyone wants to pick one up for me and trade it for a falcon or a pit NIB NA version, please PM me.
 
At least now we know that all the US stock is just being sold through NWS. Good times.
 
Yes and uh Yes.

What a in store pick up is, it is a store preorder with 0.00 on it. 24 hours after you place the order it functions just like any other store preorder you made would, as in you can put any amount on it at any time.

I paid via paypal for ship to store? How do you not pay when doing ship to store im trying to figure that out now it always ask for a payment method for me?
 
Ohhh Nintendooooo....

Ok, I'm going to call TRU soon and see if they got any Wave 3 in yet. I wonder if they will be nice enough to hold them when I can get thete later...

Plan on checking GS too and see what's up. Not expecting Bowser in yet, though.

It asks for a payment method because technically corporate is supposed to charge a 5.00 restock fee on all ship to store orders that aren't picked up (I've never actually heard of this happening). Click on your order under in Order Status and PM me what it says, not 100% sure how PayPal works

As far as I can see, Bowser has made it to the eastern half of the US. Basically anything west of Texas don't have him yet.
 
Certain things about that posting makes me not take them seriously. The fact that they knew/recognized Luma - but not Rosalina - is kinda fishy. They then proceed to link Luma directly to Elsa, which is wierd, but reveals that they aren't as ignorant - about the characters - as they pretend to be. What Nintendo fan knows Luma but not Rosalina? What Frozen fan neither realizes that Luma is not a part of the cast, nor that this 'Elsa' looks a little off? Hmmm... Seems like they were trolling/poking fun at some apparent similarities.

Well that post was an intentional joke to poke fun of people in general. In general, there are actual people out there that think Rosalina is Elsa. There are some videos on YouTube where people went out to ask random people on the streets who each character on the Smash Bros. roster is and a good portion of the time when they got to Rosalina, the response was Elsa lol
 
Again because this is popping up again. GameStop.com does NOT ever charge your card for In Store Pickup items.

If you have a IN STORE PICK UP GO TO YOUR STORE ASAP TO PAY AS WE WERE TOLD FOR THOSE WITH NO MONEY ON RELEASE TO CALL ONCE AND IF NO ANSWER TO IMMEDIATELY PUT ON THE FLOOR AND TO CANCEL THAT ORDER because people put tons of those in that never come and get them.
This is incredibly obnoxious. :/ I guess I'll call on pay day.
 
This is what it should say for anyone's In Store Pickup orders made on GameStop.com

"We do not charge the credit card you used online for this in-store pickup order. You will finalize payment at the store when you pick up your order. Bring method of payment and identification (order confirmation, driver’s license or government-issued ID).

Re-stocking fees: We reserve the right to charge your credit card a $5.00 re-stocking fee if the order is not picked up within 48 hours of notification."

BUT you can go pay it off and SHOULD do that.
 
seeing how scarce are amiibos in northamerica, I really really wonder what's the situation in Latin america.

what if you are in, say, Nicaragua and want to hunt amiibos?

has a villager or a WFT ever made it in there?

When I asked my GS anout it, they said that my order wasn't even in the system, saying that .com pre-orders that ship to store are not shown until the shipment comes in. For me (and my MonHun LE), I have no option to do that.
 
Darn it, didn't know Toon Link had an exclusive weapon for Hyrule Warriors.
Why didn't I preorder him when I had the chance...

At least I'm importing Shiek.

I'm PRETTY sure he just functions like Link & unlocks the same weapon, the Spinner.

Edit: Yeah, from Nintendo's site: "Tap the Link™ or Toon Link amiibo figure to receive a new weapon to use in battle: the Spinner from The Legend of Zelda™: Twilight Princess game."
