Which store did you get Pit from?

Meijer has them in. But 5 sold out within an hour of being on the shelf. And the only reason we found 2 is because they held them back for us- they only had 3 and the third was gone the next hour.

From what one guy told me, they likely all have stock but they have no idea where it is in back. And don't bother trying to ask for them to look, there's no way they'll find them.
 
Cool, thanks. I'll try this later.

Yup no problem. Also not really on topic, but once you get those you can stack this coupon with it too if you want to pick up some used games for cheap:

Definitely my favorite amiibo of the bunch. I really wish he'd get a Wii U game.
 
Ah man. Missed my chance for Marth! Had him in my cart to order at that Miami website from this thread, got busy and forgot about it. Sold out now >.<
 
For those who have it, how's the Captain Falcon amiibo quality?

Probably one of my favorites as far as detail go. Actually he made me break my rule of not opening any of my amiibos except for the original common 9 and other commons like zelda/luigi. Captain falcons just too much man to be kept in a box.
 
You know I can't believe target keeps putting up Rosalina at such odd times and then making statements that no more will be taken yet they are..?

1 per customer should be it if it's a limited exclusive, that's it.

Did she pop up again last night or something?
 
Got this too

lol $25 code for a $11 amiibo

sure, but it's also a trust thing. Cancelling preorders is kind of shitty and would turn me off of doing it with them for anything in the future.


Is it true that Zelda is becoming rare? That's what the girl at Gamestop said. I decided to get a Fox over her.

zelda isn't rare, she's easily the most stocked in wave 2. She'll drop off shelves eventually as they cycle in new characters, but so will everyone else besides characters like mario, peach, and pikachu.
 
Fox is definitely more rare right now than Zelda. Fox seems to be slowly disappearing. Unless they make more he'll end up relatively rare.

I don't really want that many Amiibos...but every time I come into this thread and somebody says "such and such Amiibo is rare" I feel this odd compulsion to buy one before I can't find them anymore, even though I didn't want that particular character to begin with.

What is wrong with me.
 
"You recently received an email from us canceling your order of a Nintendo amiibo Little Mac Figure (sku: 9705105). We truly apologize for any inconvenience caused by this cancellation. We know it was a disappointment, and want to make it up to you with the following discount on your next BestBuy.com order:

$25.00 off your next BestBuy.com purchase"

Got that also. Is $25 worth the rare little mac?

Yeah, those are Nintendo employees making those posts.
 
Make an account with say junkmail@gmail.com then another with j.unkmail and ju.nkmail they all will direct to the same email. That way you don't need to make 20 different email accounts. Account creation on Kongregate is literally just email and password. Takes 5 seconds.

The coupons get sent to the one email and then you can just pull it up on your phone for the GS employee to scan. The coupon is $5 off anything $5 and above except for points cards.

Alright, I was able to do this 2 times, but now I'm just getting errors. Couldn't claim the coupon and now I can't register. Maybe I did something wrong? Also haven't received them yet, so maybe it's been fixed.
 
My Little Mac and Diddy just came in the mail from TRU.

Survey says? I got exactly what I ordered!

Infact, Mac looks fucking impecable. I don't see a single blemish on him. Diddy has a couple paint issues if I'm going to nitpick but otherwise he doesnt have any noticable problems. Packaging on both is terrific. No dents or bends.
 
Little Mac is back on Walmart.com! I'm on mobile so no link

Placed an order. We'll see if it ships! Now just to track down a Diddy Kong...

I also pre-ordered the non-exclusive Wave 3s from Walmart.com as a little bonus reward to them for having Mac in stock online.

The coupon takes a little while to get to your email. And if you are on ios you can do 4 per IP. So you can switch between wifi, lte, and 4g for different IPs. Eventually after some hours or like a day itll let you redeem more. I just kept switching between different connections and connecting to different cell towers wherever I was going.

Since androis lets you clear data you can do that one all on one connection.
 
Best Buy just gave me $25 for canceling Mac. Nice gesture.

Wish that happened to me. I drove all the way out to pick mine up in-store and the lady says "we don't have any, someone must have sold them already." AFTER getting the email telling me they were ready. "All I can do is cancel it from your order." Yeah, that will make things right.
 
Anyway who do you want in wave 4?

I'm fairly certain they're going to finish off the Wii U starting roster with Wave 4, which would mean the following characters:

-Zero Suit Samus
-Charizard
-Pikmin & Olimar
-Greninja
-Palutena
-Robin
-Pac Man
-Ness
-Jigglypuff
-Ganondorf
-Bowser Jr.

You mean... "What is wrong with many of us?"

I intended to get ~8-10 out of the 18 of the two first waves. I'll finally get all of them. I especially wasn't interested in WFT, but after seeing how rare it was, I jumped in when I found a zero-defects one in a shop.

Still, barring some paint defects from time to time, I'm kinda impressed by the overall quality. Especially on characters like Pit, Falcon or Zelda in the second wave. A lot of attention to small details.
 
In all our frustration sometimes it is nice to remember why we do this. I opened my NES Remix today (had it since launch) and the disc art automatically put a smile on my face.

This is why we Nintendo.
 
Best Buy JERKS stapled my Amiibo together. Or stapled my order paperwork to them, maybe. I finally made it to the store for pickup and my Little Mac and Diddy Kong were full of staple holes. I returned then on the spot.

The hunt goes on...

The worse alternative is putting a sticker on them which has happened to me with orders that were not Amiibo.
