I just had a look on the Argos app and they have all of Wave 3 (and Wave 4) up for £12.99, but when you click on them they say no product page found. I can't find them on the Argos website, so maybe they're waiting to go live?

Oooohhhh... I'm waiting on argos to put them live, need to get the last few of wave 3 that I don't yet have!

 

[Samurai_Heart]

I have just emailed Nintendo uk customer service to find out when their uk store will have the pre-orders up. I will let you know if they get back to me.

Thanks =) Nintendo UK store is more of my go to place for Amiibos they're much better packaged unlike Shopto.

Link?

Not up for preorder yet (they're just showing off the now painted version atm) but here's the link to the maker's (Japanese) site also shows the back of the figure:

Welp, Wave 3 preorders just emerged in Russia. Got my Rosalina, Toon Link and Sheik preorders for $20 each.

Seems ShopTo actually took people's comments on amiibo packaging. Someone on a FB group I go to had his delivered in boxes

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Gamestop is Feb 1st for W3 release correct?

 

[Shadow Ranger]

Amazon Rosalina is go. Ordered from them a couple days ago as well.

^That Chrom figure looks ace. Gotta stop buying toys though...

Yep can confirm this got my wave 3A amiibo's this morning all in boxes.

Yep just had mine turn up now... 5 individual boxes - Toon link even had tissue paper in his box!

Oh cool will have less reservations ordering from them for Amiibos now, speaking of which the wave 4/5? Amiibos are up, Ness and Pac-man seems to be gone though:

[The Dutch Slayer]

yeah just got a sms that all my wave 3 was in and ready to be picked up.
So going to pick those up right after work nice!

 

[SovanJedi]

I haven't had a single notification about my amiibos shipping from Amazon. I pre-ordered Toon Link and Bowser back in December - would that have made a difference?

I pre-ordered Mega Man at the same time too, but he's not out yet obvs.

 

[MarkMclovin]

PSA



Sheik, Ike and Toon Link have shipped, from Amazon UK

Edit: as well. (Didn't order Rosa through them, btw)

Hmm mine are still down as pre-ordered. done so back at the beginning of December. Ike and Toon Link have a release date of tomorrow, but Rosalina doesn't.

Game Mania?

If so, you're lucky. They didn't get nearly enough to cover all Rosalina pre-orders, including mine

Thanks for the heads up! Got all but Ness and Pac-Man, will have to source them elsewhere then...

 

[JonnyKong]

Gah, I can't believe Ness and Pac sold out so fast on Shopto. Just gonna have to try and get them on the Nintendo store. Got my Wario and Charizard ordered at least.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Yes and I'm sorry about that

 

[Byron Bluth]

How have we still not gotten into the habit of specifying retailer and worldwide location in posts?

Please. If you say I got X Amiibo and it isn't worldwide yet you need to say you're in EU or wherever.

Not everyone has their location in their profile either. So that isn't a solution.

 

[CH4OS]

Link?

No dude, that's Chrom from fire emblem.

Yeah it's crazy! Also Game.co.uk have Wave 4 up, but doesn't seem live any are available - not sure if they've started pre-orders yet

 

[RPGCrazied]

Does Shulk have a real date yet? Last I heard it was just February.

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Got my Ike, Shiek, Toon Link, Lucario and Bowser now (from Nintendo UK), hope Amazon.It pulls through and sends off my Rosalina soon. Quite surprised at the weight of Bowser like a bit heavier than DK.

Yeah it's crazy! Also Game.co.uk have Wave 4 up, but doesn't seem live any are available - not sure if they've started pre-orders yet

Apparently started couple of days/a week ago so they're all gone =(

 

[AliasGreed]

Good Morning USA Amiibo Gaf. Another day at work and my F5 Key is ready.

Ahh damn, I need to keep on top of this more then! Thanks for the info

 

[Bazry]

Rosalina now has a product page on the Argos app

I keep trying it every 15 minutes or so

 

[kuroneko0509]

No dude, that's Chrom from fire emblem.

he's asking for the website link lol

 

[DryvBy]

I need to get a Pac-Man. Today. C'mon, Amazon!

 

[Nintendo Playstation]

he's asking for the website link lol

Wooosh!

 

[Spades]

So, who is your favourite Amiibo so far - regardless of value/rarity?

Mine is Fox - he looks awesome.

Thanks, yeah Ive set up email alerts for the ones I need now, but I keep checking anyway haha

Keep an eye on it though. I was late on 'day 1' and only got Robin, and a couple of days later, I saw Robin and Pac; could be that Lucina was up as well before it was gone.

In fact, Charizard, along with the Classics/Mario Party line, are up on Game's site.

Btw, I don't think they ever had Ness, though. Weird.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Lucario hasn't shipped from TRU yet and Toon Link and Bowser haven't from Amazon yet.

This is US, but it's lame. I want those Amiibos
Toon Link is one of my favorite characters.

 

[Zonic]

So, who is your favourite Amiibo so far - regardless of value/rarity?

Mine is Fox - he looks awesome.

Probably Captain Falcon because when was Nintendo ever gonna make something of him again?

I don't know why, but I think Sonic, Mega Man, Pac-Man, & then possibly ROB & Duck Hunt will be my favorites. Heck, those last two I'd never expect figures of (same for Mr. G&W).

.......now I want Game & Watch Gallery 5 so you can scan Mr. G&W for......something.

 

[Mendrox]

Amazon dispatched my 10 Rosalinas.

 

[LordAmused]

So, who is your favourite Amiibo so far - regardless of value/rarity?

Mine is Fox - he looks awesome.

Definitely Pit. Attention to detail, wings - it's just gorgeous.

 

[Fedora Royale]

Mornin' amiibros and amiigals!

So, who is your favourite Amiibo so far - regardless of value/rarity?

Mine is Fox - he looks awesome.

I don't have a big collection yet, but I agree. Fox is my favorite so far.

 

[ineji]

My Lucario and Rosalina shipped from Game on Monday and Tuesday, respectively.
I do have a strange extra £10.99 charge on my Paypal though.

 

[JoeM86]

So, who is your favourite Amiibo so far - regardless of value/rarity?

Mine is Fox - he looks awesome.

The Bowser amiibo absolutely floored me with its quality.

 

[MADGAME]

Kind of went against my better judgement spending $33 for an Amiibo, but I agree Shulk may be tough to get so I also ordered from Play-Asia. Glad to be getting a US version.

I will take my chances with the rest.

 

[diddykong13]

Mine was pit, but now my first half of wave 3 has arrived, Ike is my fav, he just looks soooo good! Loads of detail

 

[Samurai_Heart]

The Bowser amiibo absolutely floored me with its quality.

Yes! Amazing quality and weightiness when I opened him up =D

 

[The_Intruder]

Definitely Pit. Attention to detail, wings - it's just gorgeous.

I agree with this. Can't wait for palutena.

 

[Son Of D]

Hoping to get an Ike tomorrow from Tesco or Argos (UK so don't start freaking out NA Gaf). Still need to get a Robin pre order as well.

Shopto haven't shipped my Rosalina yet, and they also seem to be making up RRPs as they go along, they sell for £10.85, yesterday their "RRP" was £12.99, and today it's £15.59. All this despite the fact that on Nintendo's own website the Amiibo go for £10.99 each.

Reminds me of Zavvi where they put the RRP of a Blu Ray to something like £24.99 so they can say they're saving you a lot of money.

 

[crimnos]

Looks like Amazon.de are finally shipping Rosalinas. It's updated the expected delivery date from 1/2 to 1/9, though. Will be very interesting to see whether the US version or EU version arrives first.

 

[esmith08734]

I thought about it, but that's a lot of extra coin.

 

[420 Blaze It]

Everyone I need a Meta Knight in my life.

 

[MADGAME]

I thought about it, but that's a lot of extra coin.

I was on the fence with Meta Knight because he just looks so good.

 

[Fedora Royale]

I am a little worried about securing Shulk since I don't have a pre-order in place. But, I guess we'll see what happens come next month.

 

[Renewed]

So Gamestop's site just updated Wave 3 estimated availability.

2/06/15 - Bowser

2/13/15 - Toon Link, Shulk, Ike, Sheik, Dedede

2/20/15 - Sonic, Megaman

 

[Danthrax]

So Gamestop's site just updated Wave 3 release dates.

2/06/15 - Bowser

2/13/15 - Toon Link, Shulk, Ike, Sheik, Dedede

2/20/15 - Sonic, Megaman

Slow rollout at GameStop while everyone else releases on the first?

 

[Zonic]

On the one hand, releasing them slowly over the month kind of would help with budgets & focusing at one or two at a time. But ugh, I just want locked release dates after all this confusion.
