Has anyone bought an amiibo through amazon France? I bought through the Germany site and the items came literally weeks earlier than the expected date. However, the deadline for France is the 30th [in two days] but I haven't received it yet. Any thoughts?

The French are probably on strike. Germans always work hard. That's the difference.
 
I only want Ness Charizard Wario and Pac Man from Wave 4. It's a shame if I have to stalk this thread for them selling out like Toad
 
I finally buckled and made myself a spreadsheet to keep track of my amiibo(s). I think I have control of my collection. Funnily enough, it's only Wave 1 that I'm not concerning myself with, seeing as I already have the elite trilogy and everything else is readily available. I'm gonna pick up Zelda and Fox next, I think, based on the price patterns I've seen here in the UK.

I really wish Nintendo UK would get the Wave 4 preorders back up though. The idea of going without Ness is getting me antsy.

Really nice spreadsheet. I made one of my own but I like how you colored them. Sad we need a spreadsheet to keep track of these Amiibo. Sheesh
 
I got Toad, Luigi, Peach, Bowser and Yoshi from the Mario Party line BUT I had to use the mobile Amazon app to get my order in. It was crawling on my desktop.

From Mighty Ape. I thought this could be interesting. Sonic not selling well seems to be mirrored at EB Games, a staff member showed me their computer with live stock numbers and Sonic was the only one that hadn't been pre-ordered out.

Note that they don't have Shulk or Ike in stock.
 
So, of course, I missed the last Shulk at JB by 1 minute. Also, the two I managed to preorder, Toon Link and Bowser, were readily available to buy anyway.

I notice the Fire Emblem characters from the next wave are no longer available for preorder on EB's website.

Good. Fuck Sonic.

Only wave 3 I didn't buy.

The Mario Party set looks so much better than the smash set versions of everyone. Getting them all.

I agree on Mario, Luigi and Peach, but I definitely prefer the Smash Yoshi and Bowser.
 
Ugh I hope EB Games doesn't run out of preorders for Lucina, Robin and Ness before I can get some extra cash to order some more spares.

I'm gonna follow ZeroX03's suggestion and preorder at least 3x of them so I can choose which ones I like best.
 
How good is Amazon with preorders for Amiibo? Many cancelations if you got in on time? I been going to Gamestop but wasn't taking my chances and threw down preorders on the entire Mario Party wave.

Got my amazon France amiibo order today with one day of delay.
In other cases I had delay of up to 1 week iirc.

If you preordered back in the day you'll get it.
They're justvthe slowest of getting them out.
I think it's because they wait to get them all in stock or something or Nintendo puts them as low priority who knows.

Wave 1 from amazon was perfect no delays or cancellations. Wave 2 and 3 have been delayed and no dates on some of them. My bowser from gamestop is already shipping while my amazon order says it's not out till march.

I'm legit surprised that King Dedede is selling this well. Not that I dislike him or anything, he's one of my favorites in Brawl and Smash 4, but I'm surprised that so many seem to agree.

My local target still had 5 sonics, 1 toon link, 2 rosalinas and 3 bowsers still morning at 9:30

Likely has something to do with Mightyape putting him back up when he's one of the rarest figures up their with Ike and Shulk (who are still sold out on Mightyape).

Considering Meta Knight is #2, I'm guessing it's because of Rainbow Curse coming out in 2 weeks.

Allright Thanks. If Gamestop gets them soon and I can order them in store looks like I'll switch over. Never hurts to have backups I guess.

On another note no shipping movement for my TRU and Beat Buy exclusives. Fingers crossed they ship fine.

They always come through for me. The only thing is that they're usually the last retailer to ship out their orders.
 
Anyone get a shipping notification for Shulk from GameStop USA?

No Super Mario Series for preorder for Amazon Canada?

No one else with the Mario series up in NA and the only one being Amazon is so weird.
 
Got my entire Wave 3 today! My Rosalina's dress is a bit weird though, the stars on the front are a bit 'fady' like not painted on properly, just a few on the front - is that normal? I think I should go and try and swap her.
 
ordered a Luigi from the mario party series. Didn't order Bowser cause already got the smash one pre ordered, also don't want toad cause lol, why the fuck would i want that? as much as I like the peach pose for the mario party one I like the dress design better for the smash one. so I'm still thinking about that one.

I was just thinking the same thing when I had a closer look at mine two minutes ago.

Must be normal then.

Pretty sure others have said it's supposed to be like that. If not then it's a very common defect lol
