That's pretty darn shady of them.. cancel preorders, but then start selling some on eBay. GG TRU

Yeah, cancelling orders so they can sell them at the same price is pretty damn shady.

Or their eBay team is separate from their website.

But let's stay on the evil corporation bandwagon.
 
It even has a picture of Kirby on it.
EXPECT THE WORST

i bought one, but ebay is pretty pro buyer. I'll get my money back and slap them with a negative if it's not what was listed. Probably easier than dealing with the same problem if I had bought directly from them instead.
 
Contemplating calling target again that said they had Diddy and Falcon in stock and asking them to check in the back. Think they actually will?
 
I'm sitting here just thinking if I can get my hands on a Pit soon then I am done with Wave 2 and can relax until February on this amiibo thing. I have all of Wave 3 pre-ordered except Rosalina, but now after TRU cancelled my Lucario pre-order, I feel like nothing is safe. For Wave 2, I basically got the 5 I have by getting them physically from stores with no pre-order as my pre-orders didn't result in getting product shipped to me before I could just grab them. Contrast that with Wave 1 which I got entirely through Amazon. Hopefully Wave 3 goes more like Wave 1.

seriously, hurry, this thing will blow up soon once the internet realizes it.
 
The Captain Falcons at Target just arrived. I called and the guy denied me. I went in store and found a cooler guy who actually knew what they were and hooked me up.
 
FWIW, I received damaged packaging on my Little Mac from TRU's eBay store. I asked if there was any kind of compensation they could offer and they gave me a full refund, no questions asked. I got to keep my Little Mac and everything.

I was kind of blown away.
 
Checked target today after seeing the site had falcon listed as in stock. Rep in electronics told me that they sold out the second they were put out. But i'm regretting not having them look up stock using the item number because dude seemed shady as fuck.
 
Everyone being able to grab a CF while my store was already dry of them

The target around me has them in stock but are refusing to put them on hold which I cannot be mad about.

So this is awesome. Gamestops are getting their Pits in today but the employees are snatching them up and putting them on hold. Much like Target and TRU, these things are not even hitting the floor.

that's actually not allowed and if you have proof contact someone in corporate.
 
when something like this pops up, guys, just fuckin' do it. some of you fucked yourselves by questioning it or thinking it over.

successful amiibo hunters operate on gut and reflex.

I drove off the target the second Captain Falcon was in stock.
I have nothing to show for it just saying.
 
So do the French and German Amiibo boxes have German and French writing on them or are they in English?

Wanting to get some of the rare ones for a friend for Christmas (a late gift now) but he will likely have his OCD trigger when the boxes are different or something.

the opportunities to get lucario will likely be very, very few. what we just saw was one of the only opportunities to get one outside of getting very lucky locally. if you wanted a lucario and didn't go for this ebay deal you just made a grave error in judgement.

The person who answered the phone quite literally said "Our guys are holding them for when they get off their shift."

I know about four people who work at Corporate but whatever. In the end it was an extra 15 minutes of driving to get it.
