One last time for tonight

(IMPORTANT) ANY ONE WITH IN STORE PICKUPS FROM GAMESTOP.COM PRINT OUT YOUR ORDER FORMS/ CONFIRMATION EMAILS AND TRY TO PUT AT LEAST 5.00 ON THEM BECAUSE OUR POS SEEMS TO BE SCREWING AROUND WITH THOSE ORDERS.

I don't understand... Ive never had issues with in store pick ups at GameStop before. What's going to happen if I don't put the money down, exactly? I even asked shortly after I placed my orders to make sure I didn't have to do anything more. They said I was good to go.

 

[Interface23]

Interesting. I assumed they combined them or canceled one. I'll check on it during my next visit.

Print out your form, like I said our new POS is wonky and tries to hide things from us.

 

[VinFTW]

Thanks Azula/Interface. Will do. I won't get my hopes up TOO much

 

[Mononoke]

Do not Camp. Call on Sat, if we do have extras come a bit before open. Most Gamestops open between 11-12pm on a Sunday!

Let's say we call a GS and they have extras, how long are we allowed to line up for? Or rather, how early?

You just know scalpers and fanatics will try to get there first.

Nothing should happen if they said you are good to go! It's just people are having issues with getting their orders found in our computer system. Putting money down is just a safety net so idiot employees don't screw up and sell your order as there is a little X next to paid in full orders...

 

[CH4OS]

I didn't receive an email either. Where did you see this? On here or elsewhere? Thanks

A couple people on the forum today said they received emails from best buy saying metaknights release date has been moved to Jan 31st. Mine is for store pickup though while those were probably home delivery now that I think of it. What was yours?

In a mall most malls open doors to walkers an hour and a half early, in a parking lot chill in your car maybe 45 minutes unless you see people waiting at the door.

 

[DeuceGamer]

I've thought about this as well, but I would be surprised if Nintendo just let Mario/Luigi/Peach/Yoshi/Bowser disappear from shelves for a while. Wild guess that they will be kept around until the release of the Super Mario line, and then phased out.

That's what I was guessing. I already grabbed 2 more of the commons I had passed over thinking they would remain available. Now, I'm not so sure so decided I better just grab them.

I was reading an article earlier that addresses this exact thing.

http://www.primagames.com/games/sup...stop-making-mario-and-luigi-smash-bros-amiibo

Interesting and basically what I thought would likely happen.

Why does the article suggest 2 of each to open and 2 of each to keep sealed? Personally only getting one of each (that's enough $$), but I can understand some wanting to keep 1 sealed and 1 to use. Especially for your favorite characters. I can't think of a reason to have to open and 2 sealed though, lol.

Ah, we don't have malls in my area. All of my GS are in outdoor shopping centers lol

Anyways thanks for all the help. You were a ton of help!

 

[CH4OS]

Hey, you're a member now

Congrats. Now go get me a cookie.

Spoiler

lol

I have a home delivery for Meta Knight, but my order still shows 12/31/2015. I think the people that got emails said that they were from Best Buy Canada, so that could be the difference.

You may have already answered this or maybe don't know yet, but... do you know if Gamestop is getting all of Wave 3 on 2/1? Minus Lucario, Rosalina, Meta Knight, of course.

 

[SalvaPot]

The choice between TRU´s and Best Buy is killing me, for once I have no Lucario preordered, since they canceled mine but I also don´t trust BB in holding mine...

Meta Knight is a given its going to be more rare than Lucario, since Lucario is both a Pokemon and a TRU exclusive, and they have a great story of overstocking exclusives... Gah! Choices choices...

BB also has the GCU, meaning I can get a pick in extra figures for cheap and sell off any extras I got from the other retailers.

Allright, BB it is, if worst comes to worst I´ll just trade my Villager or Pit for a Lucario.

US ship to home order and I didn't get an email

 

[Jagsrock]

Bowser and Toon Link look sooo goood.


I haven't preordered Bowser but i'm gonna have to pick him up day 1!

 

[ThisBeJason]

Print out your form, like I said our new POS is wonky and tries to hide things from us.

When you say "form" do you mean my order confirmation or something?

 

[ThisBeJason]

Mine is home delivery with release date still saying 12/31/2015

Whoops DP sorry!

 

[fernoca]

Oh! Just noticed that my Amazon.de preorders of Rosalina and Lucario changed to preparing shipment. Hopefully everything will go smoothly.

 

[Interface23]

So since I've been asked here is the deal with Gamestop.com In-Store Pick Up

If you checked on it & they said you're ok, you are in fact ok.

If you checked on it and they can not find it here are the steps

#1 Make sure you are at the store you selected obviously

#2 if you are ask them to search by Last Name and Zip Code

#3 ask them to search by phone number.

#4 IF THEY STILL CAN NOT FIND IT PRINT OUT YOUR ORDER AND CONFIRMATION EMAIL.

The reason this seems to happen the most is like me, my Power Up Rewards card says Chris and my online orders say Christopher or

your phone number is ###-#### but on your Walk In orders it has a 1 in front of it separating your Walk In orders from your Gamestop.com In-Store Pickup orders.

Do Do Do go check on them before the first because Silly things can and will happen!

ALSO DO PAY OFF ANY IN STORE PICK UP ORDERS BEFORE THE 1ST BECAUSE SOME EMPLOYEES DO NOT TAKE IN-STORE PICKUPS AS SERIOUSLY AS WALK-INS BECAUSE ANYONE CAN ORDER ANYTHING WITH 0 DOWN!

This should be in the OP, heh. Thank you for answering the same question so much!

I'm going in on Saturday to check in on all of them and pay all 7 off that I have with them.

 

[Drago]

I called my Gamestop about a month ago regarding In-Store pickups and they had all my orders on the computer, so i'm good yeah? Had 5 of them for in-store, including Mega Man, Dedede and Ike so it's important I get them

You are fine, they can find it if they look but if it's separate from your Rewards card and they scan the card it'll only show the orders tied to it!

Like tied to my card is my Shulk but if they scan my card only Shulk shows up

if they type in my last name you get Ike, Megaman and Dedede

 

[Maengun1]

Bowser and Toon Link look sooo goood.


I haven't preordered Bowser but i'm gonna have to pick him up day 1!

Ahhh! For some reason I really think Wave 3 as a whole is the best looking group yet. I love all of them!

I told myself I wouldn't go hunting for Meta Knight and Rosalina but who am I kidding.

I hear from my Best Buy Bros that Meta Knight may not be a huge hunt if you go Day 1

 

[Benzychenz]

Bowser and Toon Link look sooo goood.


I haven't preordered Bowser but i'm gonna have to pick him up day 1!

Ahhh now I have to add Bowser to the list of ones I want that I didn't preorder.

He should be easy enough to find at release though.

 

[lordfroakie]

Tiger Direct cancelled my King Dedede and Megaman order

 

[Brianâ˜]

I got a tracking number from AmiAmi but I can't use it on the domestic shipping website. Help?

 

[Enforced]

Hmm now I want to buy Rosalina and Toon link.

 

[Interface23]

Hmm now I want to buy Rosalina and Toon link.

For Rosalina go to Target at 8-9am whenever they may open and you should be ok. Toon Link and Bowser will probably be the commons.

 

[Mononoke]

Hmm now I want to buy Rosalina and Toon link.

You weren't already going to buy her?

 

[oreomunsta]

Any Canadian amiibrethren in need of Diddy? There were a lot of them in the mall I visited, I noticed today

Can I also get by avatar amiibofied and have my name added to Canadians in Need of Rosie? Don't see that list floating around anymore

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Hmm now I want to buy Rosalina and Toon link.

... only now?

 

[Thoraxes]

Superbowl Sunday I will be out and about at 7AM.

Gotta be at Best Buy first though because the only pre-order I don't have is Metaknight

 

[Frogstep]

God, that video. I really hope I can get exclusives, specifically Rosalina and Shulk. D:

 

[oreomunsta]

I talked to the cashier at EB games (Canada) about when I could pick up my Megaman and Bowser preorders and he said Feb. 28th... Seems really late, so I'm dubious :/

 

[CanUKlehead]

Over 10000 posts before Wave 3 officially releases en masse...Wave 4 won't be out by the time Thread 3 happens, huh?

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Superbowl Sunday I will be out and about at 7AM.

I literally just realized Feb. 1st is the Super Bowl.

And I live in Phoenix... >.>

 

[ShinRPGamer]

I talked to the cashier at EB games (Canada) about when I could pick up my Megaman and Bowser preorders and he said Feb. 28th... Seems really late, so I'm dubious :/

A placeholder date most likely. My Bowser order on Amazon Canada is supposed to be delivered to me between the 5th and 9th.

 

[Interface23]

EB Canada still has a place holder date of 2/28 because shipping to Canada and all of the customs stuff according to the Girlfriend.

 

[SalvaPot]

Super Bowl happening means a higher chance of getting Amiibo, right?

 

[Enforced]

For Rosalina go to Target at 8-9am whenever they may open and you should be ok. Toon Link and Bowser will probably be the commons.

Ok Cool. Thanks

You weren't already going to buy her?

I wasn't planning to buy more amiibos just samus and kirby is enough for me. But after seeing the pictures from the users here. Now I really want them.

 

[oreomunsta]

Good to hear in regards to the 28th being a placeholder! Thank you :]

 

[kuroneko0509]

Probably it is too early. Wait for a few hours then check it again.

Haha.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Nope.

Super Bowl wouldn't happens until 6:30 EST (3:30 PST)

 

[Hazu]

Anyone knows where I could find a video showing how they make plastic figures? Really curious to see how it works.

 

[Thoraxes]

Probably it is too early. Wait for a few hours then check it again.

Having a tracking number only means the label has been generated and put on a package, not that it's necessarily left the origin facility.

Usually with my imports i've noticed it sometimes takes up to a full day, or until the transit company has picked the package up for the information to populate.

 

[Renewed]

I got a tracking number from AmiAmi but I can't use it on the domestic shipping website. Help?

Give it a day at most. I got my shipping number for some Gundams at 7am EST on the 21st and I can see it at collection right now.

 

[O.v.e.rlord]

... only now?

Got a point there. Hope there's a kind person in here with a extra. Lol

 

[Christopher]

i'm on amazon now and I can not find those "stairs" you guys have to place my Bo's...help!
