this is what my local store has on Jan 14
this is not their only branch and not their entire stock

i'll head to the post office over the weekend to see how much it'll take to ship these items

sorry for the delay guys!

EDIT: I stay in Singapore so these prices are in SGD - which is USD1 = SGD1.35 thereabouts

sorry for the confusion!

Dude where do you live? That costs even more than it does here in NZ @ $25 a pop.

I imagine whenever we get Animal Crossing Wii U the villager will either get a reprint or a brand new one, depending on what they want to do with it.

I would pay a good chunk of money for actual villager amiibo of my favorite villagers from Animal Crossing but that's definitely not realistic at all.

Yikes those prices.

I'm a scrub at this whole amiibo thing, I'm a lot of different pricing for these. Can someone tell me what's considered fair price for Falcon and Fox?

Assuming of course you don't wanna be a scalper, then probably something like $15 each. (Not including shipping)


Unrelated note- When will there be more chances to pre-order a Sonic amiibo!?! T_T

 

[HUELEN10]

Hey, anyone have that Target inventory system reddit link?

 

[ThisBeJason]

Falcon is $25ish and fox is about the same. So if you want to give a good deal to people then $20 seems fair. Get first class shipping (USPS) for fast and cheap shipping.

 

[ThisBeJason]

Assuming of course you don't wanna be a scalper, then probably something like $15 each.

They're $14 including tax at most places or $15 at TRU. Plus shipping costs, so $20 seems pretty fair.

 

[esmith08734]

Was at Target tonight as the girlfriend needed some things.


They were restocked for sure but all commons. I need a Mario, actually. I'll probably get him soon.

Did I miss anything else? Can I preorder Ness yet?

Shoot me a PM if you'd like, the above price suggestions are pretty typical round' these parts.

Including shipping, then yea, $20 is fair for sure.

Singapore right? If so, $30 SGD = about $22 USD.

Nope. Newegg put up a Ness Pre-order page, but it just said "coming soon" and sign up for auto notification.

Only thing we have to go off of, some random GS manager claims pre-orders for Wave 4 are going up monday. But no concrete confirmation.

ThisBeJason is correct!

I stay in Singapore so these prices are in SGD - which is USD1 = SGD1.35 thereabouts

sorry for the confusion!

Yeah, I guess this seems fair. My inner scumbag wants to sell them for more, but I will resist. Anyone can PM me if they are interested (not sure if this is against the TOS, I apologize if it is)

Why is the Mario amiibo the only US one?

Made your avatar the proper size. Also made it transparent. It probably looks better using the white theme on GAF (since it has the shadow things on the edges). Although I think it looks cool in the dark theme too, personally. *shrugs*

Right. Cool.

Thanks! I want to replay Earthbound as a token to this Ness amiibo.

Since Target is closing up here in Canada and it sounds like we'll miss out on Rosalina as a result, I decided to grab all the ones I was missing pre-orders for (Shulk, Rosalina, Lucario and Ike) from amazon's japanese website and will have it forwarded to me via Tenso.com, whom I've heard good things about. I hope it works out! Anyone do anything similar? Any stories to share?

 

[ThisBeJason]

Yeah, I guess this seems fair. My inner scumbag wants to sell them for more, but I will resist. Anyone can PM me if they are interested (not sure if this is against the TOS, I apologize if it is)

If you found a pit or little Mac you could sell them for $40 on Amazon/eBay minus ridiculous fees ($6-10) so your profit margin isn't even worth the effort I'd say.

Helping people feels a hell of a lot better than ripping them off. So suppress that inner scumbag and feel good for being a good person!

Guy on reddkt talked to someone at target and he said they are still selling her. They have her in the warehouse

What are the odds of Newegg opening preorders at midnight tonight? I have a migraine and want to go to bed. Even though I have auto notification set, I don't think I'll hear it. Oh well.

Not sure why it would happen tonight? Would be kind of random. Then again, I guess we have no idea when pre-orders are happening. Only thing we have is Monday from some random GS manager. Which is...basically nothing lol

Thank you, much appreciated!

Now I just need those Wave 4 pre-orders to open, so I can get the matching amiibo. ^_^

Yeah, definitely. I'm gonna look at some other stores around my area, maybe I can find more rare amiibo and help some of you all on here. I wasn't really searching for them until I stumbled upon them today, but I think I'll also hop on the amiibo bandwagon.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Why is the Mario amiibo the only US one?

I believe the shop just imported it from anywhere they could. Don't think there's official amiibo distribution for SEA at the moment, or my friends back in Malaysia will definitely tell me bout it.

 

[SalvaPot]

Was wave 3 up for preorder as soon as it was announced? March is really far away and I think retailers fear not having enough stock to satisfy demand, just look what happened with Rosalina.

 

[Mockingbird]

How is Austin with amiibo hunting? Cause Fort Worth isn't that great unless you're going to Hurst.

Those are photos my friends take whenever they go to a place that sells amiibo. But I don't think they've ever run into a rare in person.

Ah, I was just thinking it would be hilarious if their WFT/Marth/Villager amiibos were the US ones.

 

[NateDrake]

Nintendo's site listed Lucina and all those Amiibo from that wave with May releases but have now changed them to Spring 2015. The Mario line is all set for 3/20 release.

 

[lionpants]

Wario is on Game UK now, but I can't pre-order him.

 

[Maengun1]

This is weird. This was posted to reddit, apparently from the UK site. 5 of the Wave 4s are listed as May, while Ness is still listed as March with the Mario line.

I'm assuming it's a mistake...I'm thinking the Mario line will launch in March, and all six of Smash Bros. Wave 4 in May, probably May 1 in the US. It's April 24 in Japan, right?

edit: sorry if the pic is too big, don't know how to shrink it

 

[CH4OS]

I feel like I won't budge on wave 4 preorders until I see them pop up on best buy. That GCU discount to $10 is just too tasty. Could I miss this wave? Oh most definitely, and then I guess my stubbornness will have me waiting outside of best buy at store open on a work day!

For me, I'm not going to take any chances. I have my local EB Games going to contact me the as soon as they get the email confirmation that they can offer pre-orders. Ness & Pac-Man, come to me!

In my experience best buy almost never had extras at opening, the only one I was able to get without a preorder when they openend was Little Mac, and that was because they still had the availability check on the webpage, not anymore. Captain Falcon? None. Pit? Nope. Marth or Wii Fit Trainer? Only one bended villager.

that's not UK's website. the layout is way different

 

[Christopher]

We still have no news on pre-orders blah.

 

[Mononoke]

Nope. Maybe that GS manager was right, and this won't be till Monday.

*shrugs*

 

[WonkyPanda]

Did wave 4 ever go up on best buy

 

[Maengun1]

that's not UK's website. the layout is way different

Oops, yeah, I got two different posts mixed up. It was indeed a pic from the *US* site, which is now changed. Now it has the Mario line all listed as March 20, and all 6 Smash Wave 4s listed as "Spring 2015."

 

[Mononoke]

Did wave 4 ever go up on best buy

Nope. Wave has only gone up EB games Australia. GAME in the UK. And a couple other Japanese online sites. No US site/retail has done pre-orders yet. Some random GS manager, claims monday.

We have zero info on it.

Newegg recently put up the Wave 4 order pages. Just says COMING SOON.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Hmm I wonder when my best buy will get the new ones? RSS still shows none of them in transit yet we are dwindling down on the original bunch no fox, samus, kirby, yoshi only thing left like mario peach and pikachu.

What new ones? You mean Wave 3? Like Meta Knight and Bowser etc? No one knows the retail date. Every site points to Feb 1st (a Sunday).

[Mononoke]

Thanks

No problem. It's been frustrating. Just no info at all. We do know that, Wave 4 seems to be a couple months out.

So, maybe we were expecting pre-orders too soon/

I dont think so I mean I've had certian pre orders for games last over a year in the past. And most are several months out I dont see how it would be different. I've had Uncharted 4 preordered since sometime around last summer lol that'll prolly wind up being the longest preorder i ever have LOL

Does that mean Rosalina will be available on February 1st, then? I'll have to stop by my local Target and try my luck if that's the case.
