what else pisses me off is that toysrus accepts shoprunner (free 2 day shipping) BUT they only allow you to use it on a select amount of shit and 90% of the time it's not what i want to order.

shoprunner is useless garbage. unless you got it free like me.
 
no way in hell am i ordering pitt if I have to pay $8 shipping, i'm sure I can get a better deal eventually. :( right? plus TRU charging $1 extra per amiibo on top of that, sigh.
 
Does anyone now what time target open tomorrow?

Well, no rosalina but at least I was able to secure pit and captain falcon.

Now debating if I should just delete those shitty ebay TRU captain falcon, 7 bucks for shipping is stooooopiiiid, but I´m afraid of TRU cancelling the falcon I just ordered.

I´m a slave of fear!
 
you can't cancel ebay orders even if it's a preorder.

if this isn't true please tell me how. :P

eeeeeh, allright then, I don´t really mind that much, its obvious by this point that money means shit to me when it comes to amiibos.

I broke and paid 30 bucks for a german Marth. I´ll name him Blitzkrieg.
 
Ok guys! Trip is almost over, just need Diddy Kong and Rosalina and I´ll be golden, hopefully I can find a Diddy in the morning, I´m going amiibo hunting. Planned route:

Walmart
Target
TRU
Best Buy
Walmart 2
Gamestop 1
Gamestop 2

And that´s it, sadly I don´t have a car so I´ll have to use the bus =(.
 
fine i pre-ordered pit & a few more amiibo and e-mailed them hoping they will apply the free shipping. The shit I put up with... :P

hoping i can cancel this order and get it from amazon or target instead.
 
Who is going to be rare aside from any exclusives for wave 3? It seems like Bowser and Toon Link will be common but all the rest I can't tell. Sheik seems common now but I don't even know who the hell that is so I'm not sure why they'd make that one a common.

Seeming like Ike, Dedede, and Sonic so far will be the more rare ones.

Don´t worry, if you don´t cancel they will do it for you :lol:

I miss my savings T___T.

Sonic will probably be the best selling wave 3 amiibo
 
Reading some of your stories about Amazon UK cancelling or delaying worries me as I have my wave 3 stuff pre ordered with them. Might switch over to Shopto instead.

Dude...do you even play Zelda Brah?

Sheik is so handsome and mysterious, I have no idea who he is, but he is totally hot.

To answer your question, Dedede and Ike are the rarest FOR SURE, 100% CONFIRMED by SalvaPot, Amiibo gurú extraordinaire, And I believe its followed by Megaman who won´t see as huge a printing than the others,. Sonic is selling out because he is extremely popular, just like Little Mac,

This is of course without taking into account exclusives, who I believe will be fairly common, but panic and fear will see the initial shipments be gobbled up like maximum tomatos in Free-for-All.
 
Ordered Little Mac from amazon.de.

Amazon UK couldn't even handle their pre-orders. Amazon Germany has normal stock :/

Ah well I'll pay a little more to get him.
 
Fuck my luck, I wasn't able to find any Pit in Madrid yesterday. The cheapest one I've found online (16€) won't arrive on time for Christmas :(

Guess I've learned the lesson since this was the first Amiibo I've been interested in. I'll be preordering Shulk and Toon Link as soon as possible.
 
Weird, seems that Target has taken down Capt Falcon from their website today. Now I cannot even check stock before I go out.

Yup, just noticed that too. If you want the DPCI here it is and scanning codes,

Pit DPCI: 207-00-5017 Captain Falcon DPCI: 207-00-5018

Pit UPC: 045496891787 (http://imgur.com/E5X6a4P) Captain Falcon UPC: 045496891855 (http://imgur.com/ZUQ1Mkt)
Good luck in the wild!

Took it from here: http://www.reddit.com/r/amiibo/comments/2pvm2s/psa_captain_falcon_and_pit_target_dpci_numbers/
 
Blah do not order from Gamestop.com and cancel your orders unless you mean it. I had 2 of one, cancelled them, then try to order 2 more and it only lets me order 1 (for a total of 3, which is their limit). It should reset the amount if you cancel an order but it doesn't. I guess I'd have to make another account.
 
Just did some calculations...if I total all the amiibos I have now, and the ones I'll be getting (which includes some doubles, admittedly), my total cost for just the Smash collection is about £350.

That's just over my half of the rent, ha.

What a reality check.

Welcome brother! Remember, sleep is overrated, King Dedede is the sexiest amiibo, and Lucina is going to be exclusive to a winery in France.
 
Part of me wants to look for Falcon tomorrow...

The other part of me knows i'll get employees who won't check their shit in the back even though I know it's there.
 
So what happened to them emailing people who had their orders cancelled?

---

That Pit is just too much from Toys R Us with the shipping. I can't break my more than 20 bucks rule. If a Gaffer gets a spare I'm all for paying if you can help me out.
 
Just ordered Diddy Kong and Pit from ToysRUs. Fingers crossed that the orders stick. If they do, I'll only need Captain Falcon to complete Wave 2.

Diddy Kong: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=52097846&cp=&parentPage=search

As I typed this he was available for "Ship to Home"

dammit, that didn´t last at all...

Welp, time to go for me, I have no credit on my cellphone so I´m going pretty much naked. If anyone knows Diddy Kong´s DCPI I´ll really apreciate it, I´m off!
 
Weird Pit and Captain Falcon no longer are on target.com so you can see if it's in stock.

Just came here to post that. Really odd, especially since the holy trinity is still up there.

Tempted to get that Pit from toys r us but I didn't even want pit! I think I'm gonna get off the internet
 
Goddamn at some of the peeps' collections! I've just been collecting the ones I don't think will be reproduced at all when I see them.

Bought on day 1:
Villiger
Wii Fit Trainer
Marth

Thought these would be the three out of the first wave that wouldn't be anywhere near common. This has definitely been true. Yet to see Marth or Wii Fit Trainer again.

Bought today:
Link

My second main behind Little Mac. Needed this baby and haven't seen him for about a week in Sydney. Thought I'd see a fair few Link Amiibo after day 1 but hasn't been the case so far.

Tomorrow I'm about to get:
Pit
Captain Falcon

These guys I know aren't that popular so will be getting them. Should have bought them today with Link but was too stupid to!

For reference I'm not preordering or finding them online, just finding them at local stores. Rural Big Ws / EB Games / Target stores seem to still have the best ones available.

Wish I bought that Starfox + Samus the other week from Target though. Yet to see Starfox again since the release week.

Little Mac + King Dedede will be the biggest priorities in this 2nd wave I think.
 
I'd like to see how people are displaying theirs. I only have four amiibo, and have about 5 or 6 more I'll be getting, but even with my 4, I feel there is dissonance displaying them together. One of my favorites here was the pic of Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong on a balance scale against I believe Little Mac and Captain Falcon. Here's what I've come up with for mine thus far, though my mantle has a lot of unrealized potential.

Haha, This is very fitting for both Luigi and the move he is performing because this is a carousel for my spices, so he'll be spinning from time to time and looking like he's loving it (he's secured with sticky tack adhesive).

tumblr_ngvrtcVy781svd528o4_r1_1280.jpg

Lying on my couch right now, samus is up on this wall lamp looking like she's surveying my living room and about to spin jump down onto my arm rest and kick some ass. The light reflects off her in a way that makes all of the material look like metal, which the photo doesn't do justice. Like Luigi, she also is secured with sticky tack.

tumblr_ngvrtcVy781svd528o1_1280.jpg

Yoshi and Kirby look like they belong together, but I'll be doing some thinking about this space and what I want to do with it.
 
Im relieved to say that my Little Mac was finally delivered this morning! Along with established residents Fox and Pit, that brings my total collection to a meager 3. I couldn't be more pleased though, got the 3 I really wanted!

Now, for the sake of my mind and wallet Im stepping away, I can not allow myself to get embroiled in any type of strung out, Amiibo hunting tomfoolery.
That goes out the window of course if for some reason my pre-order for Shulk falls through, I will be a man possessed until I get him!
 
Canadians, can Shulk still be pre-order in store at EBGames? The online pre-order on Thursday sold out before I could even get home. I'm not sure if that ate up store pre-order too?

This pre-order selling out thing is so irritating, I know it happens with some games too but come on...

Also, any Pit and Falcon sightings up here since yesterday afternoon?

My apologies if these have been asked but the thread is moving so fast. Besides I think it'll be helpful to keep on it anyway since they figures come and go so quickly. Hopefully we can all help each other out getting these.
 
welp just bought pit and captain falcon from amazon.de, first time buying from another country with amazon, but they were both sold by amazon and it came out to 50 bucks, you can barely get pit for 50 bucks and I think it'll get worse. Plus the estimated delivery is the beginning of january, I'll take it.

Quick question this wont have any red flags with my bank will it? I mean will it cause a problem thinking it is stolen and someone in germany is buying stuff?

No, I've bought things from UK and German amazon before no problems. Only took like a week to get too.
 
Little Mac arrived today bringing my Wave 2 set up to 4 (Luigi, Pit, Captain Falcon, Little Mac). All set now until part of wave 3 hits in January. UK.
