Pretty positive those are US versions too... Hopefully this is someone whom works at target!
would be awesome if each store has this much 
Strange. I hope this doesn't mean I'm going to miss out on any.

I am curious if they will remove MM XL from the listings as well.

I doubt that. I'm sure it'll be fine. Mine processed two days ago but haven't been shipped. I assume we'll get wave 3 tomorrow?

So Amazon has removed even more amiibo. I got a nowinstock update that Falcon was in stock. Nope.
Edit - I should clarify, they've removed them from the group listing. There are still figures available on Amazon from other sellers.

mobile@nowinstock.net: NowInStock Alert / Captain Falcon IN STOCK for $12.96. Goto: http://NowInStock.net/get14017 Reply STOP + PHONE# to delete all alerts.
Oh ffs

I just checked his room while he is at class to see if Pit was in there. No signs at all, although I took just a quick glance since I didn't want to intrude. I will ask him when he gets back if he took Pit home with him this weekend just in case, but if he did then that Pit is as good as gone since he probably gave it to his sister who plays Smash. :/

Jesus Christ I got a nowinstock alert for Cap'n Falcon and had a freakin heart attack. Redirects to the Peach amiibo.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Just got another one for Little Mac. Not like this...

Turns out NowInStock isn't ready for delistings
Phew, just had the last few go through - so all mine have been processed now!
Feel like I can relax now until the end of February!

Do they ship in boxes? I just don't trust those guys anymore for fragile items.
I'm not sure. For individual orders they don't, but I assume with so many being shipped to me at once, they'll use a box. Personally it isn't a major concern as I open up all of my Amiibo anyway.

Just a heads up to everyone - possible phishing alert.
I don't know if it has anything to do with this thread or not, but I got a phishing email yesterday that looked like it was from Amazon. It said that I had recently added a Yoshi amiibo to my cart (I had not) and, to complete or cancel my order, I needed to log into Amazon.
I clicked on the link (not yet realizing what the email was) and it prompted me to log in to Amazon. This was when I realized things weren't right as my Amazon always logs in me in automatically. I changed my password just to be safe.
It looked pretty legit but when I went back and looked at the email, there was an ad for tax software or something at the top... usually Amazon emails don't have ads in them.

Mine are processing too... minus the Rosalina which I missed out on :'( ...I'm going to try Argos as that's where I've managed to get all the others after they became rare up till now.

It wasn't real. At least, I don't think so. We've all been getting alerts for several figures this morning from Amazon. It has something to do with their listing/delisting actions.
It's a false alarm.
Screw you nowinstock. They keep texting me every time Amazon pulls a character from the site 
It's a false alarm triggered by Amazon removing Amiibos from their site.

Got the two from wave 3 I wanted: Sheik and Toon Link. Both better building than wave 1 & 2 IMO, but some painting errors.
For those interested, here is what I saw in Paris:
- Nearest FNAC got many Lucarios and Sheik and Bowser, but very few Toon Link and they were out of stock for him.
- Micromania got a ridiculously tiny stock, grabbed the only Toon Link left there.

Oh, phew! Thanks for letting me know!
Pre-ordered Bowser on a whim an hour ago from GAME, just received the dispatch email. Can't be many stock shortages of him yet.
Now just to stare at my Rosalina order on Amazon UK. Ordered her on 4th December, so I must be high up on the list, just want some progress now so I know she's secured.

No worries. ^_^ Good luck! I was just about to acquire WFT yesterday.
I've gone mad with power...again!
Aw thank you! I'll change mine when I get home.
Glancing at my bank account shows Nintendo UK has began processing my order. Rosalina will soon be mine
Haha I have to say I just love this avatar.
He looks like a Captain America who is really nervous about getting rare amiibo.

Nice grabs! I checked my orders too and they're processing the same. I only ordered Bowser, Toon Link (X2) and Ike from Shopto. The rest are coming from GAME and me personally buying them in shops.
Yeah they do. I haven't ordered Amiibos specifically from them, but GAME sent my Zelda and Diddy Kong in pretty shitty condition.
We'll see in time.
Good luck to you as well! Hoping I get lucky and somehow stumble across the rares that I need. I know that's a longshot, but I'm trying to stay positive.
Those are third party prices. Pit sold directly by Amazon UK was and still is £19.85.
Nice!
I've got these left to come now:
Sonic, Mega Man and DeDe pre-ordered with ShopTo
Meta Knight and Shulk pre-ordered with GameStop UK
I've got all of the new Smash and Mario Bros collection ones pre-ordered with GAME.
The only one I'm missing at the moment is Wario, which I'm hoping to get from ShopTo or GameStop UK as soon as they go up.

Boy am I ever anxious about preorders now. Are we sure that Feb 1 is going to be the preorder date or is that still a best guess?
When did Feb 1st become Wave 4 pre order date? Thought that was just the release of Wave 3 at retail stores in NA.

I've seen that cited as the reserve date because it's the wave 3 release date.

I don't know, I'm kinda lost. I read some people saying stuff about Wave 4 here in the last pages and got confused.

That's interesting - they used Hermes to ship my Villager to me. Usually they stick with a single courier.
Ah my bad. I'm sorry. Just woke up and thought there was info/news that i missed while sleeping.
I guess people are just speculating it might be today or soon because Amazon is removing Wave 1 and 2 figures from their Amiibo order page. The assumption is Wave 4 will be put up in their place.
Edit: everyone getting their wave 3 sent early are making those with pre orders in store on Feb 1st, jealous.

Strange. GAME sent my wave 2 in mint condition, all individually boxed so I feel they are more reliable recently, dare I say.
