So I got 3 emails from Amazon Japan (one for each amiibo I ordered?) and I have no fucking clue what they say! :lol

Might I suggest opening the msg from GMAIL, it has a translator built in or find a site where you can copy n paste for translation.

Is Gamestop "safe" to have them ship amiibos? I don't want packaging ruined.

They package beautifully see OT1 and earlier in this thread for pics best packing so far imo.

So I got a Pit from GS now, but I'm gonna open when it arrives. :-|

I'm not a good collector.

Thank you!

YES, they package them so well in a moderate sized box. They packed those air-filled packing material and wrapped my Pit amiibo with paper.

Don't order from TRU, because your results may vary.

They're good, I just need a new Pit because the first one I ordered has a clear box cut through on the side of my Pit, so I want a new one to be a part of my sealed set and I'll open my damaged one. You probably won't have the same problem, but I'm just giving you a heads up thats theres at least one person who isn't good with the box cutter.

Despite my friend having ordered me a Pit (she lives in Europe), I couldn't help myself and ordered one off GS.

For now, Pit is the only amiibo I have two of...

Cut through the Pit figure or the packaging? Either way that sucks. :-(

Pit is the best! =)

You should post them! My Japanese isn't great but I might be able to help. A machine translation might get the job done too though.

I don't think Smash Wave 5 EU (wave 4 for NA) will go up for preorder before late February, considering that this is the schedule:

Shulk
Sonic
Mega Man

MARIO SERIES on 20/03/2015
Mario (versione Super Mario)
Luigi (versione Super Mario)
Peach (versione Super Mario)
Yoshi (versione Super Mario)
Bowser (versione Super Mario)
Toad (versione Super Mario)

Wave 5 SB EU on: 24/04/2015
Daraen
Lucina
Wario
Ness
Pac-Man
Charizard

 

[Hazu]

Daraen = Robin..?

:-|

Haha mee too. I can't wait to finally put him on display. The only reason I still have a couple in the box is because Im holding on in case I might wanna trade. Other than that I plan to open all of mine, no sense in leaving them in those plastic prisons.

 

[victreeb3l]

Put in my Pit pre-order from GS.

Still waiting for Ike, Toon Link and Megaman to arrive!

 

[Auron_Kale]

Pit is the best! =)

Funny enough, both Pit (1) and Little Mac have more sentimental value to me because both are gifts.

The Pit I just binged ordered right now (Pit 2) is just icing at the moment.

 

[Fandangox]

I called Gamestop, changed the shipping adress for my pre order, here goes nothing.

Also they keep telling me Shulk does come out on the first...

I was out grabbing dinner and some drinks with my mom and decided to make a pit stop at Best Buy on the way home. I was looking for one of the Mohu indoor antennas, to no avail. Decided to take a peek at the amiibo section and BAM this guy shows up. I'm still in a bit of shock...it took me weeks to find a Falcon and now I've find a Pit with zero effort.

I haven't had a problem and I received three different packages.

I had mine in the packaging for a while, but I have to say they look a lot better out of the boxes.

Congrats. That's kinda amazing to me. I have never seen anything even slightly rare at my Best Buy. Their Nintendo section is a wasteland. :-/

Nice! I've been trying to find a Pit amiibo for weeks to no avail. I'm hoping for a restock when Wave 3 comes out.

Buy me some lottery tickets?

Edit: I see what you did there

 

[spyroflame0487]

Dunno if anyone else has bought Pit from Gamestop before today, but...the limit of one counts for all time it would appear.

I bought Pit previously, and got all the way through to the final confirmation where it told me

"Oops!
Your order for Pit amiibo Figure exceeds the maximum allowable purchase. We have adjusted your quantity to the maximum allowed at this time."

 

[Fedora Royale]

Congrats to all those who got a Pit tonight!

I feel like it was an episode of Oprah tonight, with her throwing them out like "YOU get a Pit, and YOU get a Pit and YOUUUUU get a Pit!!"

Finding these on the shelves would be so much cooler than having to stalk websites lol.

It's always the same for me. There was one day I went in-store when they said they had Falcon amiibos in stock and they told me touch shit. Basically, it was all pre-orders and employee stock. Besides Pit, all they had were Mario, Peach, Zelda, Diddy Kong, Luigi, Kirby, Pikachu, etc. I go to TRU/Target/BB/etc maybe once a week and never luck out. I don't even find moderately rare amiibo.

This brings my amiibo collection to three: Pit, VIllager, Falcon. All opened (well, not Pit yet). Ness when I can. Apparently I have expensive taste....

 

[lionpants]

So these Pit orders are preorders? He is already released though.

It would be cool if retailers did this for the more rare amiibo. Maybe they place a special order with Nintendo so that there's no risk for them.

 

[Conscience Falls]

Is Pit not available because I can't pay no matter what option I try? Paypal says no and so does MC.

Pre-orders for their up coming shipment. They prob are gettting a new batch on that date.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

I guess not. It was up for some time too

 

[The12thGripper]

Think how bad it will get when Nintendo starts doing exclusive amiibos with limited editions of games or convention exclusives or even region exclusives. :O

They're probably going to have an exclusive R.O.B. amiibo for Japan.

 

[Conscience Falls]

Yeah, I tried the second I heard about it but it rejected my Paypal as well as my card claiming I put the wrong financial institution info in.

Can you check your private message please?

Sounds like a reprinting instead. Perhaps Pit won't be as rare afterall. Nice since others can actually get him now.

 

[Mononoke]

Still no NA pre-orders for Wave 4? No new news really?

Just Pit at GS that we all got 1 of (awesome btw).

Did you order a Pit from them a while ago too? They only limit you to one of any character.

 

[Hazu]

Little Mac back in stock on Amazon.ca

Pit was in stock a couple minutes ago too!

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

Hoping there's more refreshes

 

[Phazon]

Webstore in Belgium didn't care about streetdate, so I ordered my Rosalina and Sheik yesterday and got them today.

Sadly, I only have a 'standard cheap' phone camera, but I hope these shots will give you an idea about the quality. Rosalina is really good.

 

[JazzmanZ]

gee you coulda told us about that

Nope, I've managed to be in store for all my purchases prior.

Well, they look great! Apparently you got them in good quality shape!

Anywhere open at the moment to get Captain Falcon? Grooves-Inc cancelled my order for him and Little Mac... QQ

Does amazon.ca ship to USA?

Yeah, since the previous wave I just order them on a webstore when they release instead of going to a store. Never had a bad one so far.

I didn't know I just saw it on Reddit. I wasn't able to grab one too...

At least I was a little further this time before it blocked me out..

I think they do but I'm not really sure.
