He exists somewhere...

King Dedede looks picture perfect.
 
What the heck target, putting up Rosalina at 3am before and then now MM N3DSXL? Sheesh I can't get a break with them. They should allow in store preorders too because their 3am online preorder policy is not fair at all.
 
Does Shopto ship to NA? I'm dumb.

Are you also having trouble registering? I'm trying to ship to me in the US and when I register my CC it keeps giving me the same not allowed message. I tried two different visas and my Amex.

Wasn't planning to pick up a Bowser, but he looks great from the pics I've seen. Tempted.

He SHOULD be a common so hopefully he's easy to find. He looks great in all the pics so far. Great quality by the looks of it

Yeah, I missed out on the Target MM 3DS XL too. Bleh. Oh well.

Speaking of Target, I'm about to swing by one in the next hour.

Can you ask if they are taking in store preorders for the new3DSXL? Specifically the MM version. Thank you!

I tried registering and I entered in the base information and I just get redirected to a 3138 error code.
 
How do you even set up a shopto account? I tried putting in my details but it says something is wrong with the billing info even though I didn't even add a CC yet. US BTW.

Edit: Whoa, Ninja'd by Necros ^
 
What is a good Japanese/any other import website?

Sick of the waiting, if I miss Lucina I'm going to lose it. I'm just going to put a pre order down in case I miss out on Wave 4 in America.
 
I really hate it when things get announced and you can't preorder stuff. Or if a place takes preorders they want you to register. And you can't register anyway. All of my ugh.

I think it is more annoying that I always put together pre-ordering something meant you can get a copy of it. It really does not seem to be the case with Nintendo.
Any time your pre-order can get canceled.
 
My Lucario just shipped from Amazon.de.

That said, I have another Lucario preorder from TRU when they had him up on their eBay account. It hasn't been cancelled yet and I have been charged, but of course I can't be certain that it will be honored (as has been the case with all Amiibo preorders).

If I do receive it, I am more than happy to trade or sell at cost. Just thought I'd throw that out there in case a list of GAF member extras is being aggregated.
 
My cousin working at a Target says people show up every morning asking about amiibo. He doesn't follow it at all so I explained
it to him, very obviously hinting to get me a Rosalina or two.

Just read through the thread from last night and I am also filled with great sadness :(
I missed that dam MM N3DS XL again!! Dammit TARGET! WHY do you keep putting crap up between 3am and 4am!? WTH...
 
I know this is said a lot in this thread but man I wish I could find a Rosalina. Mainly want her for Luma but still.
If my Rosalina arrives and I find an extra one in UK shops etc I'll be willing to ship one to you =). But I have a feeling she'll get several reprints due to popularity of her though ala all the Mario series Amiibos that seem to be stocked well.

Yup. Have now spread out my orders across Game, Zavvi, Amazon (de, uk, it and fr) and ShopTo. Not that I have all my wanteds across all the sites--some will have, some won't, and I spread them around so I get two each, max, and will cancel if it's not too late and i receive one.

Why does it STILL not feel safe...
 
Thanks to Resistance100 I finally have a Villager amiibo yayyy. Holy Trinity complete. Thanks so much amiiboGAF.

I went to my TRU today and asked if they had received their amiibos but they said they had a delay? My Shopto Rosalina still hasn't shipped and I even prepaid it just so there was no delays but nope...

I have Toon Link on the way from them though, after my amazon order for him looked like it wasn't going anywhere. Worried I won't be able to find her now. GAME might have her in store but they charge extra...

Ambivalent on whether to get Bowser if I already have the classic one ordered. Hmm.

That would be awesome of you, I hope you are right about the reprints though. I am not out to get all of them but there are some I don't want to miss.
 
Hopefully the US launch goes off fine, I missed out on every preorder, so I'm going in empty for wave 3.

I mainly wanted Bowser, Rosalina, and Shulk, maybe Lucario.
 
Surely there must be some kind of middle ground of controlled scarcity levels between "so common that the public loses interest" and "if you're not awake and refreshing Amazon/Target/Best Buy during the ten minute window that pre-orders are open, you will never receive this Amiibo."

With NoA, there is no middle ground.
