Just to be clear on today's hunt

1. Meta Knight has no date and we shouldn't expect to see him today?
2. No Lucario preorders have shipped yet? wtf TRU? I'm going to try in store

i almost forgot about Meta Knight! Thats right, when the hell is Meta Knight going to be available
 
Game confirmed they can't uncancel my order and two of the figs are no longer available for order from them. Where da fuck am I gonna get Ness and Pac?
 
Found these hidden on Amazon.co.uk doubt they'll last long. The peach and Toad are selling like hot cakes.

An Amiibro on r/amiibo is having a nervous breakdown about the Lucario hunt in the morning.

Man, now I'm worried. I would be devastated lining up tommorrow for nothing, while scalpers nab multiples in front of me.

Jesus...

on another note. Guess Canada will have no Meta Knights to spare:

Who's waiting for Amiibos now?

(Not me, got home from work an hour ago heh. I'm sleeping for a few hours then heading out. Not hoping for much)

I'm gonna head over to my TRU, assess the situation, possibly come home with a Lucario and cancel my online order, since I'm positive TRU isn't going to ship it out today

Well,

I think it's about time I walked away for some time too. I realized that I did what I didn't want to do, and that was buy anything and everything when it came to amiibo. Believe it or not, I only wanted Fox, Pikachu, and Link but now I have thirteen. I believe this goes hand in hand with my attempt at taking a small break from Smash Bros.

I don't mean to take up attention; I just wanted to thank you all. You truly are some of the better people I have met online. I hope some of my generosity (giving away a new Fox for free and help create Azula's original Google Spreadsheet) is passed forward. It was really fun to do this with you all.

I can't say I am done for good but can say I am checking out for the time being.

Thanks for everything! I am only making this post to put the spotlight on you guys. You deserve it. You are all wonderful people and wish you luck with your hunts!

Funnily enough, similar happened to me. I wasn't even so sure if amiibos would be good at first, but I just wanted Link at the beginning (and Shulk was in the back of my mind). Then Link didn't arrive, so I got impatient and got Samus at argos (Was gonna get marth too but they were gonna get them later and I just ordered him when I got home instead.
Now I have 11 amiibos and toon link and bowser is now on the way. I want Shulk, Sonic, Mega man, Pacman, Lucina, Robin and Toad for future waves too yet.
Ganon, Zero Suit Samus, Dark Pit, Falco and Mewtwo? are possible future amiibo I'll want too. Considering charizard too, but I don't know.
So yeah now I have a problem! Ha ha. Hopefully I think I'll be done after the SSB set is over. Not really interested in owning everyone, I'd like to if money was no object, but I'm just interested in getting amiibo for characters I personally like and/or play with usually on SSB.
 
The rest of wave 4 disappeared from EB Games Australia tonight.

That's all of them pre sold out 3 months before release. Lol.

Yeah, i preordered all apart from wario and pacman. Lucina is going to be the hardest to get by far this wave followed by robin.

Welp. Panicked and ordered another Lucina and Robin, finally caved in and ordered (SM) Mario and Luigi. I could probably just gift the extra Lucina and Robin to my friend or sell them idk yet.

You have good taste. I got the same ones.

I just caved and ordered Mario, Luigi, Peach and Toad haha. This amiibo madness will never end will it?
 
Bah, that stinks :( I'm not expecting to see Lucarios in excess, but if I'm able to grab an extra I'll keep it in case someone else is less fortunate / pre-order falls through.

Lucario is next Friday for us but I mean Wave 3 is not even coming out to TRU due to port strikes or something. Bleh.
 
Where did you guys order lucinia and robin

EB Games New Zealand. I ordered the first set like the day they were announced.

I just caved and ordered Mario, Luigi, Peach and Toad haha. This amiibo madness will never end will it?

Can you imagine the madness once Ganondorf, Palutena, Dark Pit and Zero Suit Samus are released? I mean I know for sure i'm gonna get a lockdown on those four ASAP but yeesh... just think about it. Especially for ZSS.
 
Not sure if I'll have any luck, but guess I'll swing by Target today since I need to pass some time before the post office opens after I donate plasma & see what they've got.
 
Couple questions if someone knows.

Has Toad been removed from Amazon in NA?
Is Toad available for pre-order anywhere other than Amazon?
Wave 4 Pre-orders haven't been posted anywhere yet in NA, right?
 
So who's left now? Pretty sure all I need to grab is Greninja and Ganon and I'm good.
- Greninja
- Jigglypuff
- Ganondorf
- Bowser Jr.
- Dr. Mario
- Palutena
- Dark Pit
- Zero Suit Samus
- Falco
- Mr. Game & Watch
- R.O.B
- Olimar
- Duck Hunt
 
Can target employees look up DCIP numbers from the register?

They have a device that does it. I think the register can too. Additionally there's a site that allows you to look them up via DPCI (when I bought my Shiek the counter went down almost immediately, so it's pretty accurate), and you could also make a barcode using the information here, and the in-store scanner will tell you how many they have on the floor and in the store room (at least my store's scanner has this functionality).
 
- Greninja
- Jigglypuff
- Ganondorf
- Bowser Jr.
- Dr. Mario
- Palutena
- Dark Pit
- Zero Suit Samus
- Falco
- Mr. Game & Watch
- R.O.B
- Olimar
- Duck Hunt

So three groups, maybe?

I only want another six from that list and then, retirement.

This has been fun, but waaaaay too stressful!
 
Considering it's 13, it might be just 2 more, one with 6 again like Wave 4 & then 7. I have a feeling Wave 7 will be the secret characters & the one with the most amount of "unknown to the public" characters.

Out of that list, I'd truly want Ganondorf, Falco (because Star Fox Wii U support), Mr. Game & Watch, R.O.B, & Duck Hunt. Sort of want Palutena & I guess ZSS.

Thanks.

Hmmm so this latest round was like 11? I'll doubt they'll do the final 13 together. May 2 lots of 6.

I want all of these apart from Dr Mario.

I could live without ROB, but I'll grab him just because it's a figurine of a peripheral and it's crazy.
 
Couple questions if someone knows.

Has Toad been removed from Amazon in NA?
Is Toad available for pre-order anywhere other than Amazon?
Wave 4 Pre-orders haven't been posted anywhere yet in NA, right?

Has Toad been removed from Amazon in NA?
Yes. In fact, I just checked, all of the Super Mario line are gone from Amazon NA and not just "Currently Unavailable" but the listings are gone.

Is Toad available for pre-order anywhere other than Amazon?
Toad is currently not available anywhere else for preorder on NA sites. However, you might still be able to import from other sites.

Wave 4 Pre-orders haven't been posted anywhere yet in NA, right?
No Wave 4 preorders have been posted anywhere in NA in-store or online, yet. However, newegg.com is the only NA site that has the listings for all of Wave 4 and Super Mario series but only for "Auto-Notify". No preorder yet.
 
I just called Nintendo Iberica (Spain) offices because im fed up of all this lost time without getting what I want, and having preorder at some stores and those stores still not getting them, see if I could get some info firectly from them, maybe if there was going to be some purchases at their web in the future.

The woman there tried to help me with my problem but it seems department communication is shit and told me the best thing to do is send an email that she gave me to tell them my displeasure and ask about the distribution problems.

What a shitfest Nintendo, what a fucking shitfest...

Seems I will have to get rosalina and toon link at the end for 25 euros each minimum. Fucking bastard scalpers.
 
I've been using this http://www.reddit.com/r/amiibo/comments/2pvyt2/target_inventory_tracker/ to check my local Targets to see how many Rosalina they'll have and if they will have Ike and Mega Man. While some people are reporting finding Rosalina in store (but street dated), none of the stores in my area list her in stock using this product code.

Should I be worried, or would this not display stock until release date?

Don't worry.

I've had confirmed Rosalina is in the store room at my local Target but she doesn't show up on the tracker either.
 
- Greninja
- Jigglypuff
- Ganondorf
- Bowser Jr.
- Dr. Mario
- Palutena
- Dark Pit
- Zero Suit Samus
- Falco
- Mr. Game & Watch
- R.O.B
- Olimar
- Duck Hunt
So including Wave 4, all I want is Ness, Pac Man, Ganon, and Olimar. Seems doable assuming I follow this thread to get pre-orders in.
