I'm going to Wallyworld in a bit and I'll be interested to see what the stock situation is. The last few times I went it seemed like they were practically overflowing with them. I don't know if they're just hot regionally or what, but I haven't seen a local shortage. I don't collect these (yet) so what are the hot figures I should look out for?
So when I search for Amiibo on amazon there is nothing there. What the hell is going on right now? First the Target/TRU messes and now this?
So if you search for a specific amiibo, you can pull it up. Then searching amiibo from inside the gaming page will display it. It looks like they're all completely out of stock on Amazon so this might be why.

Well I ordered 3 Rosalina from amazon.fr. It was $54 USD total so that's not too bad. The packaging isn't much different and it's only $12 or so more than I'd pay from Target. And if I happen to be able to get her from Target in the meantime I'll just cancel the Amazon order.

For what ever reason, you have to search "amiibo figures"
Probably a bug of some sort.

Yeah this started yesterday or the day before I don't remember. I search "amiibo" and it used to bring them up but does not any more. I just go to my already placed orders and click from there.

Amazon shipped my Little Mac amiibo.
got the last luigi in austin, tx
Good to know there's Gaffers in TX.
Went to Best Buy to get my Little Mac which they said was available for pick up in an email.
He never arrived. It looks like this store never got any of them.
What a mess. At least the manager is bending over backwards trying to get one from another store that did get shipments.
I will never find Pit

I mean, if we're just talking about a straight shot, down the interstate with little traffic, but through any type of populated town/city, it's going to take longer than that.

I live in San Diego. Outside of rush hour, that's a 10 minute drive. Give or take. And yeah, I'm talking freeway. Not city streets.
Mine is coming out to about $23 shipped to US. Not bad really. I think Amaon France has it for about the same price.
He's not rare...yet.

Exactly what happened with my Marth. Still have yet to get mine that I ordered through Best Buy. That's why I will never do ship to store with amiibos.Went to Best Buy to get my Little Mac which they said was available for pick up in an email.

I got the last Luigi on a Barcelona Fnac yesterday. They received 10 in the morning and at around 20:00h there was only one left. No sight of Zelda, Pit or Little Mac, just some Captain Falcons and Diddy Kongs. At least I was lucky, it seems to be perfect, not like the Peach amiibos. I had to find one for a gift and almost all of them were bumped or dented :/
TRU is just terrible. They always take preorders they can't fill. There's a reason they're typically rated 1/5 on seller rating sites. They've never figured out how to properly handle online ordering. I remember when they oversold preorders for Skyward Sword's collector edition and then waited until it was too late for anybody to order elsewhere to cancel the orders.
They know that they don't have the stock to fill the orders, but they let orders run on anyway hoping that they'll be able to magically drum up more stock by release. They pull this crap all the time. It's not just limited to video games.
Never mind that they charge more for the Amiibos and Skylanders than anybody else...
Garbage.
It doesn't help out a whole lot, but go give them a rating on Google or Reseller Ratings. It's really the only way you can show your displeasure back to their PR teams in a way that sticks.

The thing that annoys me is Lucario was my 40% off in their promotion. If I go get another amiibo will they sell it to me for 40% off? Because I could have gotten my Zelda elsewhere for cheaper.

If anyone is in the northgate area in Seattle the best buy in northgate has a single Mac. Showed up looking for pit and falcon. No go there.

My local Targets I've called havent had captain falcon, but some of them don't have their shipment in quite yet.
Ive also called every gamestop in this immediate area and they haven't had any shipments yet today.

Thanks, I think. Put in an order for 1 day shipping. $11 extra but dammit I want him. I'm so broke.
Alright, just bought me a Diddy. The Target didn't have any of Wave 2B figures though. I want my Captain Falcon!

It's not accurate at all, in my experience. Two weeks ago it said the target near me had vilager in stock, no such luck of course.

Like a blind, one-armed chimpanzee with a bow and arrow in a hurricane, given how many timed I've stood there in front of the Amiibo display staring in wonderment at my smartphone.
Shulk and Mega Man here, felt ridiculous doing it, lol.
They won't let me do in store pickup orders at all. Everywhere just says outta stock and I'm wondering if it's worth just going over there and seeing what happens.

Mega Man is gone on Amazon.

Charleston SC reporting in.
Was victim of TRU exclusive cancelation. But I did get another online one in, who knows if it will hold.
Drove around a bit today. No Capt Falcon or Pit at my liCal TRU, GS, Target, or BB. Did snag 2 preorder cards at TRU for that exclusive bastard.
How can someone sell preorder cards on CL?? lol when I got mine today the girl said it's attaches to my email and I could trash the cards. She said I didn't even need the receipt. Maybe I should sell them on eBay! I kid.

Luigi doesn't seem rare to my location, but I can't speak for others. Diddy Kong and Zelda are rare for me though.
I did the same thing. After Target cancelled my previous Pit pre-order I just want it here as fast as possible.

San Antonio, TX Gaffers, the TRU at the Forum has at least 12 luigi amiibos on shelves with more in the back supposedly.
Alright this is what I wanted to hear. I guess I'll drive over and give it a shot. I want my Diddy (and any other wave 2 at this point because of their rarity).
I have a couple Targets within 5 miles.
Thanks for the heads up

I got caught up in all the rage of my pre-order being canceled that I didn't notice that my Zelda came in today! WOOOT!
