Y u collect so much amiibos but you never wanna play smash with me? Still sore from the last spank or what?
I am and we really should. Though tbh, I'd be more happy if I got to order one off AmiAmi. Been really wanting to do that since discovering the joys of AmiAmi a few weeks back lol.

These amiibos are the only way I can still look at smash

No, EB stopped taking in store preorders for Shulk starting the day after they went live. An email was sent to all stores at 5:30am to ensure all stores stopped when they opened. It was due to scalping, and the preorders are likely to reopen again.
They started taking in store preorders for all of Wave 3 earlier this week too.
Only Luigi has been seen in Canada so far at TRU in Vancouver.
So target is lying about no more pre-orders...

I like the word-smithing that gets used with these "defect" auctions
No dude, that shot is straight broken, haha

Pits gone that fast already? Ugh! I guess I need to wake up earlier on my days off.
Haha, I saw a Diddy just like this. Tried to get it half price as I could just glue it back together. But no luck. Back to the shelf it went. It's broken, not a defect..

Some people are... special. Also, 5 bids?

If only I could get a Rosalina or Mario version of this. Someone on FigureGAF suggested I take the NFC chip and attach it to the base of my desktop figures so I can have my own custom amiibo which actually isn't that bad of an idea especially since I kind of like the desktop figure version more
Here's how they look like. They're pretty small though. Half the size of a regular amiibo

Would be nice if Toys r Us wouldn't cancel everyone's orders then sell them the next day...
Did I say something wrong?

Because TRU "sold out" again...I can't believe they STILL haven't contacted all the people who's orders they cancelled and then put them all up again for other people to order...ridiculous...

No no. It's just this whole situation is flabbergasting.
Why do they keep putting it up at 4 am? How is that even remotely fair? So not only is it a Target exclusive it's an East Coast exclusive. Rosalina worth the most on ebay confirmed.
It really is. I mean just yesterday morning supposedly we have this official statement http://www.amiiboinquirer.com/2014/12/19/targets-official-statement-on-rosalina/
But now we have things contradicting it.
I mean just the first day when wave 3 showed up and someone asked Target's Facebook page about Rosalina being sold out and they said she sold out fast yet no one believed it since all the wave 3 amiibos were put up at the same time and all listed as sold out. It's insane how things are so out of control that even the company is not sure what's going on anymore
Watch. Pretty soon they'll be telling us that the online pre-orders were a mistake and the reality is that it's actually exclusive to one store. Only one store out of all the Targets in all of North America will have the exclusive rights of selling them.

So... When you buy a new amiibo that means we can play?
Love how they are charging for shipping now. It used to be free shipping for the amiiboo preorders. They canceled and started charging $7.99 for shipping

Girl I just chatted to with customer service said they will "make this right" with customers and we will receive an email "shortly" of how they will "fulfill" our orders...I'll believe it when I see it...
...as long as that one store is in Vegas...
I don't see how they can make it right. I immediately went to Walmart after TRU canceled, to make sure I got the ones i wanted. Walmart already charged me so it's too late to cancel. I'm sure I'm not the only one that went elsewhere. So what is their solution? Let people preorder again if they had one in before but this time with a shipping charge? No thank you. Not too mention some of the ones they canceled on me were $8.
These 'rare' Amiibo's are people using them and taking them out of the packaging or just keeping them in the packaging? I can't bring myself to take math, wft and illegal out of the packaging, nor even star fox even though he isn't rare lol.
Different strokes for different folks. They look better, take up less room, and can actually be used when opened. However, if you are collecting them as a collector, opening them cause their value to go down significantly. I personally think they look good in the box though.

OMG I FOUND THE FALCON!!
I got three of these, couldn't put them all in the picture. Two for me and one for my younger brother.

Gotta save the stock for eBay scalping.
Got a Luigi yesterday as an early Christmas present (glad I didn't pre-order him). Very close to being perfect, there's just a slight bit of gold paint from his right button on the dungaree, but it's so small you won't see it unless you really look for it.
Next will either be Toon Link or Shulk+Mega Man.

Walmart has been doing the worst job of stocking Amiibos out of all of the retailers
The ones in my town have yet to get 2A

Pretty sure mine, charleston sc, had only been stocked once with Wave 1. Never seen a 2 and the dedicated space is very sad ha

Supposed to have a Diddy and Little Mac come in the mail from TRU today. We'll see how it goes.
I'm exhausted for now. I might spend my time today at home playing some goddamn Nintendo instead of running to every Target it Northwest Maryland for them to continously tell me they have no Captain Falcons when their online supply said they had them for hours on end.
Yeah I know they don't update on the spot, but other stores stocks were going up and down in that meantime, yet one near me never budged. I'm fairly sure they were BS'ing me.

My Nintendo World Store confidence has been restored. Went there at open with my Lugi and Pit pre-order receipts and they had them set aside in the back. I asked about getting a call they said they only do that if you dont pick something up in a week. So I have to keep an eye on Twitter and now Instagram. No problem bro!

My bad, I was so excited I forgot to do that. Anyways, I found these at the Target in Baytown, but they were the only three left.
However, if you're in Houston I highly suggest you try the Target in South Central near Main St and Old Spanish Rd. When I was hunting yesterday that was the first Target I visited but the guy said they didn't get any shipments. When I visited the other ones I asked if they could look up inventory at the other ones and that Target kept popping up, but I told them that they had told me they didn't receive any shipments which is why I moved on. They didn't say much about my comment but insisted that they had to have them.
Also, last night before the page for Falcon went down, that store in South Central and the store in Baytown where the only ones that showed stock in my area. Good luck guys.

Should I bother calling and looking around for Wave 2B over the weekend if stores received no shipments yesterday?
still looking for capt. falcon somewhere I was up till 4 am checking stocks last night managed to snag rosalina though!. But falcon still eludes me and now I see he was on ToysRus this morning well that's upsetting considering he was one of the ones they cancelled on me the other evening.... (still salty about that...)
