Best Buy doesn't even have Little Mac, Pit or Captain Falcon listed on their site anymore, are they not even trying?

Those are probably already being discontinued. I've never seen any of them in store. I got my cpt falcon at target by asking for him and probably got someone's preorder since they pulled it from under the counter.
 
How can I get Amazon Japan to ship to me? Also, I'm trying to log into my Amazon account on the Japanese site but it won't let me :(

you will need to create a seperate account for Amazon.jp.

Amazon.jp doesn't ship video games abroad, I suggest you use a forwarder company such as Tenso (which is trusted and personally I have used before.)

Finally own a Marth and villager, just in time for the reprint announcement :/
 
Just wondering, does anyone have any experience with Game.co.uk shipping internationally?

I ordered a Pit on January 8th and it still hasn't arrived. I know living in the arse end of nowhere (New Zealand) tends to make things ship a bit later than usual. Just asking if anyone near the vicinity has any experiences with their shipping. Thanks ^_^

Game.co.uk takes weeks to arrive in New Zealand and they don't ship very carefully. Another gaffer had their LE statue for Wind Waker damaged in transit and Game were basically useless.

It takes about 2-3 weeks. I pre-ordered Pit from there and it shipped back on the 15 of Dec. didn't come it till Jan 7th

Just hoping Pit comes undamaged... I don't care about the packaging but I'd be crushed if Pit was... crushed. Thankfully I got an order in from Grooves Inc and it's in processing so at least one of them should come in unscathed
right?

Honestly I almost never recommend EB Games but for online orders of Amiibos in NZ and Aus they're probably best. JB Hifi are very inconsistent with their online stock and shipping times and Mighty Ape charge you extra shipping for each figure.

I pre-ordered a Pit for my friend from JB and it took over a week to arrive.

I know =/ I ordered a Pit from JB Hifi (because of that $22 + free shipping) on Dec 16th when I was able to. At first it was backordered, its status changed to Ordered, then backordered again and then canceled. Before it said canceled I emailed their customer service and they told me they were getting a restock. Then they said at January 6th they wouldn't be getting any at all and are pulling amiibos from their website. I find this out the day after all the Pits from EB Games sold out online.

I did the smart thing now and preordered most of the wave 3s I wanted from EB Games (Preordered Sheik and Bowser from AmiAmi cause I didn't want them that badly and I wanted to see if I can get some dollars off). I'm waiting to see when wave 4 will be available to preorder online but if I can preorder it in store I'll do so on monday after Uni.
 
Probably gonna switch my avatar in 3 weeks to coincide with Kill la Kill premiering on Toonami. Anyone think they could possibly amiibo-fy this avatar for me? Not sure if I can think of a way to make it work.

It's a good anime, hope the dub doesn't ruin it.

Gamagoori's voice was grand in the preview.
 
Would have bought both of those :(

I was tempted to take them all, especially after I talked to the employee and he said that they those have been sitting there since they launched and that amiibo haven't really been selling at their location. I might just head there tomorrow and pick the rest up if they're still there.
 
Finally joining in on the amiibo craze, was waiting for Lucina and Robin.. the only two I want from all of this really.

Seems they're not for sale yet though. Once their pre-orders are out, about how long do they last for? I see almost every other amiibo is sold out..

There is no way to know, only few amiibos that sold out post-amiibogeddon are Lucario and Rosalina, the first sold out in one morning and the other in half an hour, but both seemed to be mistakes by the retailer.

This Wave is the first true one where we will see how big the hunger is, since its the first when people are actually waiting for their preorder to open it doesn´t help that this seems to be the weirdest wave yet, since Ness, Robin and Lucina are from two of the franchises that are historically understocked, Pac-Man is a third party character and Wario is arguably the least popular Mario character (Love him, btw). Charizard is the only one that we can be sure is going to be common, since is a Pokemon.

Not long. Im surprised EBgames in my part of the world are still accepting pre-orders on wave 4.

Scalpers have a field day gobbling up most of em. Be safe, save yourself the displeasure of running around and F5'ing. Just pre-order asap the ones you want.

Are you trying to scare him away? LOL
 
I can imagine Wario being rare, if for no other reason than Nintendo wanting to phase him out quickly so they can get overall Wario amiibos on shelves quicker and easier.

Biker Wario for life. I would buy an amiibo set of the entire WarioWare cast in a heartbeat!
 
Was at my local Toys R Us and found these two. There were two more C. Falcons and one more Fox.

I feel kinda scummy, but I picked up the other two Falcons and the other Fox. I might do a giveaway for one of the Falcons, depending on how much I sell the others for. I don't even know how to go about selling them.
 
My Lucario and Rosalina are set to arrive Jan 29th from Amazon.fr

Oh, is that what that email I got today was trying to say? I saw the pictures of Lucario and Rosalina but I just assumed that it was some kind of public service warning about the guy buying all the Amiibos out of spite.

I really should learn some French prior to buying stuff from French retailers huh?

I'd gladly buy one for a decent price. Secure over Paypal is usually the best way for p2p sales.
