Amiibo Discussion Thread

Not open for further replies.
After having my Lucario cancelled this morning, I guess I deserved some good luck on my 4 hour long Amiibo hunt. Two Best Buys said they only got ONE Little Mac and sold out first thing in the morning. Two Toys R Us had Luigi and Zelda but nothing else interesting. The Toys R Us in Lawrenceville NJ by the Quaker Bridge Mall did have preorder cards for all of Wave 3 though in case anyone is interested. I grabbed a Lucario one to make up for my cancelled preorder. Walmarts were all pretty much wiped out and only had a couple Mario/Dk/Link/Pikachu.

However, at the Target in Burlington, NJ they had DIDDY AND CAPTAIN FALCON!!! If you want to grab Falcon, I'd go soon, since there were only a handful left when I got there, and I bought two of them (one for me, one for my Godson). There were about 7 or 8 Diddy Kongs.

Pretty sure I will be getting Little Mac, Zelda and Fox for XMas gifts, so for now, aside from keeping an eye out for the rare 3 I am content. Pictures below.

I'm on mobile right now and its kind of hard for me to copy and paste links because lol touch screen selection.

If you're on your computer or something just go to the bottom of the amazon home page. There should be selections for the different regions. Once you select the one you want, just search the item you're looking for (you can search in english). Its handy to have a google translate extension or add on for this.

I went yesterday. Here's the deal, I bought 1 for myself, 1 for Christopher. I also bought 5 extras for Gaffers. Those have been spoken for.

However, in the nonsense that happened this morning, I also grabbed 2 online orders. Everything could get fucking cancelled. I might only be able to get some. It's so up in the air at this point I don't want to promise anything to anyone. However, if I have an extra come, I will get it to you.
 
I just bought a Marth and a Rosalina at Amazon.fr for $42 shipped. That's $21 per. A steal a far as I am concerned. Screw Target.

So my Best Buy says they never got a little Mac even know they had it available on the website for me to pick it up. I think I got screwed over by someone snatching my preorder or Best buy putting it on the sales floor. My friend who works there said I was the only person to preorder him too. So frustrating.

Same thing happened to me, but this Best Buy never actually got any shipments at ALL. The good thing for me is that I have the manager on my side looking out for me. He's actually trying extremely hard to get one for me from another store. I think I'll be okay for Little Mac.....

But I do worry about Pit and Captain Falcon. I don't even have Pit pre-ordered but Falcon I do...for pickup on the 30th. I'm so afraid.

I also pre-ordered ALL of wave 3 from Best Buy for in-store pickup. I will have a long talk with this manager, lol.
 
I know my local Target says "out of stock" for Pit and Falcon right now, but it said the same thing about Mac, Diddy, and Zelda last week and sure enough, they were there on the shelf when I arrived about mid-day the same day I checked.

Sorry, let me see if I can clarify. I have 7 in-store pre-order cards right this moment. I went and got them yesterday. 1 for me, 6 for other gaffers that have already asked for them. When everything got cancelled this morning, Lucario went back up for pre-order for an hour or so (I believe). I ordered two more while he was up during that time. If I get everything, I will have an extra or two and I can send you one. With the cancellations, they might not even honor my in-store pre-order cards. I'm just going to do my best.

It's all very confusing and up in the air.
 
I love that there's been 159 Lucarios sold in one hour with estimated delivery by December 30th on the TRU eBay page. The post-meltdown meltdown when they're all cancelled will be glorious.
 
I got a tip on here about capt falcon in Springfield VA target. I called and asked for one to be held, we'll see if I get it. They got four in and someone bought the other three between the half hour when I called and when I got here... Hopefully it was a gaffer and not a scalper.

i bought one, just looking to get it for my bro and then I'm going to retire from this game.
 
So uh...turns out TRU ended up sending me that Villager amiibo they had on backorder a couple weeks ago. Problem is that I ended up ordering a Japanese one from Play Asia. I thought I cancelled the former but I guess not. I suppose it's good it apparently came at a discount.

Hmm...what to do.

Help a GAF Amiibro! We've all gotta stay in this together. THIS IS WAR.
 
Just a heads up for Marylanders: I just got off the phone with Target in Rockville, MD.

The site says limited for Captain Falcon, the guy says they don't have them. They got 4 but they are either gone already or reserved.

Shit got snapped up quick.
 
Ugh just drove 20 minutes for a captain falcon that is now out of stock. Really think I'm done at this point when it comes to do that again.
