if you actually care about packaging, peeling off stickers is the worst thing to do. Use goo gone or a hair dryer.

The other two had no problems. I'll probably open this one anyway. No big deal. Just warning for others who plan to keep theirs sealed.

 

[tim_pkmn89]

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.

 

[LiK]

Should I order this Lucario on eBay? I feel like this could be an error and they will get cancelled as well... Ah, what to do.

grab it. and if TRU cancels, we could give them a big fat negative.

if you can afford it, do it. for all we know the opportunities to get a lucario will be very few.

 

[Fox Mulder]

It even has a picture of Kirby on it.

Spoiler

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.

 

[Ellite25]

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?

 

[TheGrue]

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.

 

[Chucker]

The target I went to an hour ago now has Falcon. Aaaaargh.
Edit: Target won't hold via the phone, will they.

seriously, hurry, this thing will blow up soon once the internet realizes it.

 

[spookyfish]

I DON'T GET WHY THEY DO THAT.

Walmart's stickers on blu-ray slipcovers are the same. So annoying.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Not sure if it's considered harder to find these days, but the Best Buy in Arlington Heights, IL has a ton of Donkey Kongs.

 

[PadWarrior]

Has anyone asked Amazon what's going on with the rest of wave 2?

I pre-ordered again this morning through TRU. Is there reason to think that will get cancelled again?

Edit - Also, isn't Lucario Wave 3? Why does that page show it ships soon? You sure that's legit?

 

[Ibuki]

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.

 

[Jobbs]

I wouldn't trust anything at this point. I've had lucario preordered for a month now and still bought the TRU auction. better safe than sorry.

 

[_SAKY_]

omg this is madness, getting duplicate order to ensure SOMEONE fulfills my order. I think I need to stop now.

 

[Stencil]

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.

 

[Shroudent]

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.

 

[ameleco]

Everyone being able to grab a CF while my store was already dry of them

I feel you

 

[Byron Bluth]

Anyone willing to get one of those Lucario pre-orders in for a Canadian?

Fuck its gone..again!

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

 

[shanafan]

Oh, reminds me to rewatch this for the holiday season.

After watching that, you should watch this..

 

[Maitiú]

I clicked the link, it said 91 Lucarios sold. 3 minutes passed before I clicked "Buy it Now" and it was too late. 259 sold.

 

[UncleSporky]

ebay lucarios all sold out. My god.

WTF?

 

[Sorceror12]

oh F me. just paid 40 bucks for pit on amazon. I don't care. JUST GIVE ME. Tired of going to all the stores.

 

[blast processed]

TRU selling Lucario on eBay (1 per customer): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lucario-amiibo-/171581125129

Says he's out of stock.

 

[Omega]

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.

 

[-Horizon-]

After watching that, you should watch this..

Wait. This is real? Wut.

 

[Jobbs]

when something like this pops up, guys, just fuckin' do it. some of you fucked yourselves by questioning it or thinking it over.

Part of the problem...dude wait it out I literally got it today

Do it and then share immediately on NeoGAF.

WTF is THIS!? No Arnie or Sinbad, no sale.

I drove off the target the second Captain Falcon was in stock.
I have nothing to show for it just saying.

 

[Seik]

You guys...I want Captain too. D:

Hope Amazon.ca won't choke, please god...

 

[Byron Bluth]

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.

 

[Piscus]

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 sent you a PM.

 

[Ellite25]

Alright guys, going on a 30 minute drive to a store that supposedly has Luigi, Diddy, and Falcon. Wish me luck.

 

[Jobbs]

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.

 

[akileese]

that's actually not allowed and if you have proof contact someone in corporate.

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.

 

[spyroflame0487]

Ayy I called around everywhere and found one local store that still had Fox!

Now just to hopefully find the rest of Wave 2 guys eventually.

My chances of getting a Little Max is zero, isn't it?

100%

 

[Jobbs]

your chances are 100% if you order online right now on USA amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O97ZVJA/?tag=neogaf0e-20

who knows how much longer this stays in stock.

 

[Byron Bluth]

It will be really fucked if after Christmas supply evens out and they are all available on mass.

 

[BurritoBushido]

My chances of getting a Little Max is zero, isn't it?

Little Max, definitely not.


Little Mac is in stock in Amazon right now though

 

[blast processed]

Alright guys, going on a 30 minute drive to a store that supposedly has Luigi, Diddy, and Falcon. Wish me luck.

I assume you called, just to make sure before you go out?

 

[Jobbs]

It will be really fucked if after Christmas supply evens out and they are all available on mass.

this could definitely happen on some of them, but there are others that I kinda think won't be coming back -- such as marth and villager.

 

[PadWarrior]

Can I phone Target and have them ship Falcon to another Target or straight to my house?

 

[Piscus]

What region are you in?
