Honestly the only one who had a decent preorder system was GameStop and BB (As long as BB actually delivers), Target and TRU are doing everything wrong.

On the flip-side though, among the exclusives Rosalina will be the most readily available to people without pre-orders. No in-store pre-orders so the entire shipments are open, large shipments, and 1 per customer limit.

Someone in line today told me it was because retailers are in a bidding war for wave 4 exclusive. Who knows though.

Screw that noise, we don't need that BS from retailers anymore.

Did you get it by Ups or FedEx or usps or what?

mine says expected delivery: February 2nd.

Shulk is March 3rd. I'm not really in any rush to get them, though... I just want to get them for a reasonable price.

Mine is for today but it's nowhere to be seen.

Kinda sucks if you can't drop everything to be there during the opening hours, though.

Source? I think we had some reports of people claiming a few stores here and there may limit one per person, but that is certainly not universal or even likely.

Did I miss an official Target announcement?
 
Would someone be kind enough to put the amiibo marks around either the car or the guy flying out of the car in my avatar? Whichever looks better.

Thanks guys

Rosalina seems to be the most common exclusive.

Meta Knight will be the rarest since he will have no in store presence as all have been taken by preorder. Ditto Shulk.

Lucario, TRU still had some available for non preorders in most places.

Don't think there's been an official announcement, but I've seen it reported several times that a 1 per customer policy has been implemented from the top. Who knows how well stores were stick to it though, assuming those reports are accurate to begin with. I guess I kind of just choose to believe because I want to. :P
 
If retailers are in a bidding war for exclusivity then screw this noise. I'll pick one I want and go for that. Trekking halfway across the Twin Cities area will not be worth it.

Wont bother exchanging mine.

I hope you are right, I called a larger Target Greatland near me and they said they did not see any customer purchase limitations.
 
Why would they be in a bidding war what's it doing for them?? People are buying all of one figure not shipping and looking around

I don't know. It was just something some of the other people in line today were talking about. Who knows. But, I do seem to recall a store employee saying awhile ago that wave 4 would still have exclusives.

Who knows if that's actually why preorders are taking so long or not.

Dammit, Canada Post, you've been "out for delivery" all day. You have 50 minutes left to meet this deadline.

Yeah, Best Buy Canada confirmed Wave 4 would have exclusives a while back, before Wave 3 preorders were even up.
 
For the love of collecting, please don't do retail exclusives again, or at the very least, LET THE STORES HAVE A GOOD AMOUNT.
 
Guys realistically whats the cheapest I could expect to pay for a Little Mac now? It's the ONLY one I'm missing so I'm willing to spend a little more than usual. Does $50 sound about right?
 
My Pit came in the mail today. But I'm holding him hostage in case I can't get a Ness pre- order. Maybe someone will trade hostages with me. I'll make sure the exchange takes place at a bridge.
 
So I´m trying to find clues here.

Wave 1:
Mario, Peach, Yoshi, DK, Link, Pikachu, Kirby, Samus, Fox, Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Marth.
12 figures.
7 Common.
2 Uncommons. (Samus, Fox, even if he is rare now)
3 Rares.

Of this, 11 characters, all except Peach, are Main Characters or mascots of their respective series.
2 are nameless characters and they are also the only representation in smash of their series for amiibo (Villager, Wii Fit Trainer)

Wave 2:
Luigi, Zelda, Diddy Kong, Captain Falcon, Pit, Little Mac.
6 figures.
2 Common.
1 Uncommon. (Diddy, common now)
3 Rares.

3 are the second most important character of its series (Zelda, Diddy, Luigi)
3 are main characters of their series (Captain Falcon, Pit, Little Mac)

Wave 3:
Bowser, Rosalina, Toon Link, Sheik, Lucario, Sonic, Megaman, King Dedede, Meta Knight, Ike.

We still don´t know for sure, but so far it seems Bowser is the only common from this batch.

In this wave we have:
2 Villains (Bowser, King Dedede), 3 if you count Meta Knight.
2 Third party characters.
2 Main characters from a later entry of their series (Toon Link, Ike)
