Got a "your pre-order has a new release date" email from Best Buy.

Now February 1st for Shiek and Toon Link.

 

[Joni]

On my break, I went to a toy store in Belgium (Europe) just now and they had them available already (bar Rosalina). It surely itched to take a Lucario, Sheik and Ike already (they had only one of each there), but I pre-ordered them somewhere else. And they were 1/4 more than where I pre-ordered them. Arghh, what to do.... Don't want to miss any...

Where?
I also caved and ordered Wii Fit Trainer, Villager and Diddy Kong on Amazon de because I knew they were rare. And that is about the only reason.

Bart Smit. And Diddy Kong isn't rare at all, I see them all the time. Wii Fit Trainer and Villager, those are rare.

 

[Cosmonaut X]

So are Amazon UK not stocking the new waves then?

Game are already sold out of preorders for Robin, Ness and Lucina. The 3 I fucking wanted.

Got Pacman and Wario though so not all bad.

They only recently opened up preorders for some of the latest wave (they may have had them up when they were first announced, but they've been on "notify me when this item is available" for ages) so perhaps they're going to move to only putting up preorders when they have guaranteed stock, or closer to release date?

 

[powerdrain]

Their price for the Mario Party & Mario Amiibo bundle is cheaper than buying just Mario Party from them. Go figure.

"Go figure"... Literally.

Gamestop UK just cancelled my Rosalina order, wasn't expecting them to fulfill it to be honest but still

First and last time I ever shop with these guys. No wonder Americans dislike this chain, even over here it's terrible.

Amiibo OT3 |"On behave of GameStop"
Fuck me

We were able to pre-order wave 3 since early December. That's when I pre ordered Rosalina, Meta Knight, Ike, Shulk, Toon Link and Magaman all on the 8th.

Maybe the pre orders were pulled not long after that?

 

[HawthorneKitty]

My Zelda from Best Buy was delayed.

Must be the case - I've not been able to see anything but they "this item is not available" notice for weeks and weeks (pre-Christmas, I think). It was only in the last few days that I was able to preorder any, and even then only for a very brief window.

 

[Zonic]

Was this Wal-mart sale posted on certain amiibo?

Diddy Kong $8.90
Kirby $8.90
Mario $8.90
Peach $8.90
Pikachu $8.90
Zelda $8.90

Prices are online, not sure about in-store. In any case, tempted at Pikachu & Zelda for about $18.

 

[wilflare]

how I hope Amazon.com matches all these price drops on games, Amiibos that you guys have mentioned.

and the Wave 4 is driving me crazy

 

[Yazoo91]

My Rosalina's been delivered, feared the worst since Nintendo sent her with Yodel but that was really quick, I'm relieved

 

[Joni]

Bart Smit. And Diddy Kong isn't rare at all, I see them all the time. Wii Fit Trainer and Villager, those are rare.

In that case I might need to make a detour by Bart Smit. and for Diddy Kong, I blame GAF that told he was rare.

I only hope then that they have enough to go round. 1st part of wave 3 gets delivered next week, so fingers crossed.

Ouch, bad news bro. I feel for you. If I spot any more in the UK anywhere, I'll let you know.

My Rosalina got dispatched this morning with all of my other pre-orders from ShopTo, thankfully.

 

[Zonic]

Hmm, Walmart prices I posted might've been glitches, so mileage may vary on if they honor it.

I believe that was the case, yes. Pre-orders up for their guaranteed numbers early, then perhaps later when they get a hint pre-launch, they'll get more.

 

[Puaru1]

I could of swore I had a Sonic pre-ordered from Amazon, but looking at my Open Orders I only see Bowser, Toon Link, King Dedede, and Megaman.

 

[AliasGreed]

Good Morning Amiibo Gaf. Another day, Another day of no sign of Wave 4 Pre-orders or Mario Party Amiibos in the USA.

[Thoraxes]

While sometimes I get anxious thinking about getting the new ones as they come out, I keep telling myself that there are some genuinely awesome people in this thread willing to help people out as long as they cover the amiibo+shipping costs.
I know I feel bad for missing out on the Metaknight train, and seeing him not come to amazon.de till mid-Feb. sucks.

So stay calm, stick with our humble community, and know that we're all in this together.

 

[The Flash]

I had a dream this morning that I went into a Gamestop and there were two Mewtwo amiibos just hanging on the wall. I looked around like "what the hell...", grabbed one, went to checkout, and then thought "mmmm, I grab that other one just to be safe". It was weird.

I pre-ordered Metaknight and I still worry because I haven't heard anything.
I have low confidence in Best Buy after they lost my Captain Falcon order.

So I can have the other one, right?

 

[JoeM86]

My Wave 3s arrived

Bowser is so well made, but so heavy.

 

[Maintenance]

I knew I shouldn't have slept, damn you Lucario.

I'm just praying my local Gamestop is good with holding my pre-orders and notifying me.
I did the site-to-store order online. Thinking about going in and putting some money down on each of them to be on the safe side. (and to make sure they have them in the system). I'm pretty cool with the dudes there.

Either way i'll know if they're in-stock because even the pre-orders showed up on stock trackers for the stores when W2 hit (was denied by many a store because they were held for pre-orders), so my ass would be there ASAP once it's reported to make sure nobody can fuck it up for me.

Just a week and a half to go now.

 

[javac]

I wonder where my Lucario and Ike Amiibo are...

Understandable...I'll let you off this time

If it is in store pickup DO put money down, that makes it pretty much an in store order as since they have money they are far more likely to hold yours.

There are a vast majority of In store pickups that are never picked up so we were told to basically ignore them unless someone comes and pays at least a little bit.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Got my Rosalina from Amazon.fr. Now waiting for my Sheik and... Ike I think from Nintendo UK store. Dunno when Amazon uk will ship my Lucario :\

Alright, you've convinced me.

I'm going to go in on my next day off and just pay them all off. I have the money to do it now so why not.

 

[Fedora Royale]

Mornin' amiibros. Here's to another day of F5ing and commiserating. \~/

 

[StriKeVillain]

Tried to get that $9 Diddy from Walmart and it sold out while I was checking out.

._.

 

[Ludist210]

I got an update from Best Buy last night that Sheik will be available on February 1. Woohoo!

 

[bumpkin]

My Wave 3s arrived

Bowser is so well made, but so heavy.

How'd you get them early?!

 

[Thoraxes]

How'd you get them early?!

European ones have been shipping. At least my amazon.fr ones were.

 

[CH4OS]

My Wave 3s arrived



Bowser is so well made, but so heavy.

I like the heavier ones, feels like quality! Hulk, Venom, and Baymax from DI are busting at the bases with quality.

Where is that cute little pikachu from?? Is there a cute charizard too? I want one!

I think that is the Pokémon Rumble figurine. No Charizard in that series.

[Gartooth]

So the only figures we know that are releasing Feb. 1st in the US are Bowser, Sheik, and Toon Link?

 

[The Flash]

So I can have the other one, right?

I have to go back to sleep and think about it

 

[-Horizon-]

How about that waifu Lucina...waifu.

 

[fernoca]

Where is that cute little pikachu from?? Is there a cute charizard too? I want one!

Pokémon Rumble U. No Charizard figure, in-game all characters look like that.

Got them all by buying a box at Gamestop, since they were blind purchases each box had 1 of each at least.

 

[CH4OS]

I took a peek at Walmart.com to see all these figures on sale you're talking about (might finally get Mario). And I found you can preorder Kingdom Hearts 3 for $40 right now!!

 

[doowrah]

So the only figures we know that are releasing Feb. 1st in the US are Bowser, Sheik, and Toon Link?

We know Shulk is Feb 1st? Does that mean I'd have a chance at getting one if I'm there for GS opening that day?

 

[Gartooth]

We know Shulk is Feb 1st? Does that mean I'd have a chance at getting one if I'm there for GS opening that day?

Huh, thought I heard someone say he was Feb. 20th. Awesome if true though, I was anxious for him to get here.

 

[doowrah]

Oh, dumb of me. I read Sheik as Shulk.

Just seeing what I want to see I guess...

Pokémon Rumble U's NFC figures. amiibo before amiibo existed. I have 21 of them:

Bulbasaur, Pikachu, Eevee, Mewtwo, Mew, Celebi, Torchic, Jirachi, Deoxys, Piplup, Lucario, Croagunk, Darkrai, Shaymin, Victini, Zoroark, Litwick, Genesect, Black Kyurem, White Kyurem and shiny Pikachu

 

[CH4OS]

AHHH!! Why is Amazon trolling me!!!??

 

[pete_clarf]

If anyone is still looking for Fox...

You have to get to checkout before it shows you the price... but it's $12.77 + $2.49 for shipping.
