Amazon has Diddy, is that considered a tough one to get?

I'm right there with ya man. I finished the first two waves already and locked down (barring no shenanigans with Best Buy and TRU) wave 3 except Rosie. I figure it would probably be best to get all the figures as soon as possible, because who knows if Nintendo will keep making them.
Sure thing, also is there is anyone who want to help me with updating it, just let me know and I can give him/her editing right.

He's uncommon at this point.
Depends where you live. I've seen him a few times in town, but I've heard others have had trouble finding him.
Yeah weird, it won't apply for Pit or CF. Guess I'll wait on BB for my CF. Was going to do it with the discount.

Thanks, sounds like I'm placing an order then.
Amazon has had Diddy for almost a week now. It hasn't gone down as far as I know. So seems like not so hard to find anymore.
That being said, in two weeks, who knows. Who would have thought Fox would be hard to find this early?

Ah, didn't know. Still, better safe than sorry I guess.

I actually kind of thought that on the day that they launched. That's why my first Amiibo was Fox. Plus there hasn't been a whole lot of Star Fox merch out there that I have seen.
Yay, Toys R Us came through!!!
From this:
To this:
Sell the first one on EBay as "Defective Fox Amiibo packaging"
Yeah, during the initial reports of Fox going rare, I immediately went to Toys R Us and bought him. Haven't seen him in weeks in stores.
Not sure what's up with that.
Come on Bestbuy.com, ship my Falcon and Pit and then I'll feel much better about this busted box Pit I bought!

Holy shit man! That has me a bit concerned about my Lucario order.

Pit's back up on Amazon, says it will be in-stock on January 3rd. Go go go
Best practice imo from true is to order multiple cause they put them in bigger boxes with less chance of shipping like that the singles I got from true came in envelopes and were packed horribly...

Well that sucks. I'm not even going to keep it if it ends up like that. Guess I should come up with a back up plan for Lucario if that happens.
Just tried, "this item is no longer available from the seller"

Exactly! I've ordered most from TRU and this is the first time it happened, precisely because it was a single amiibo order. All of the others are packed in nicely!

Depends on how much we post today. Don't think we'll see it until tomorrow though.
Thread needs to be very close to 20K before I can post the new one.
Thank very much, cheapest Little Mac around and only one available that not 30+. I hope figure comes out okay since I will open the packaging.
Lol hope so.

Each to do it early we should be at 398-399 pages.

Yeah just used the post count since it equals that amount of pages roughly for those on 100 posts view per page
Probably will be the cheapest way to get Fox at this point. Guessing shipping will be about $3 or $4?
Appreciate that, that's awesome you would do that. But I put an order in through Fry's so I guess Ill just wait and hope that goes through. They already took the money out of my account.
How? I've been trying to figure out the best way to ship these best I can figure is a medium flat rate box which is 12.95 within the US....
Yikes. Maybe I'm just going by shipping prices of what places like Amazon, Fry's, & such. But I guess that's for faster shipping w/ extra protection? Edit: I also shipped some stuff in a box that would most likely fit an amiibo and weighted a bit more and it cost me $4, and that was basic shipping.
Nah, I've shipped a few to people already and it is only about $3-4 with tracking as long as you use your own box. I have lots of various size boxes from amazon and can usually find one that's a good size for a single amiibo.
EDIT: I use USPS Priority.

PIT SHIPPED!!!! Let's do this! Here I come second Christmas!
USPS Priority Mail box. It's not quite as small as a small flat rate, and a good bit smaller than a medium flat rate. There's just enough space in them for some packing and a single amiibo. Cost about $4.50 to ship.
Ok cool I've been wondering how ppl were shipping them so cheap I got all options within minutes of here USPS,UPS, and/or Fedex... so... but thats cool good to know too. Thats tracking with no insurance right?
When I ship something via USPS, it costs me a dollar to have a tracking number.
No insurance... though if I ever were to ship a Marth I might consider it lol
You took your shades off?
Completed the collection yesterday - looking for an appropriate place to display them today.
Feels good man.
Anyone else need a fox still? No promises they're still there since I was last there before the story of him being discontinued came out but I'll definitely check.
I could have, but the thought of 4 Amiibos in a day was like "Nah". But in 2 days!
Yeah, went back to default avatar for the time being while I think of another way/thing I could photoshop on. Plus seeing the eyes kind of helps match my custom tag.
Sent a PM. If you could also find a Samus as well, that would be great. Want to buy them together, but it seems I can only get one or the other, not both.
