Just for an anecdote:
Here is how the amiibo section at the Wal-Mart in Porter Ranch, CA looked like last night:
This is crazy. Nintendo would have to be retarded not to make more, MUCH more.
I agree. Thanks for the info!
Let the hunt begin!
Wait, is cap coming out this week?! Or is he coming out with the rest of wave 2 at the end of the month?

That sucks! Store exclusives need to stop.
Can't you preorder on Target?
Anyway, all I wanted was the Marth because I love FE. Figures that is the one to sell out and now go for $80+. Weak.
It's not that Mario isn't selling. It's probably a matter of there just being that much more Mario's available. I remember day 1 Marth only had 2 or 3 hangars while every other character got several more.
I went to random TRU and targets last night and no luck finding the rare amiibos.
Pls reprint.

What's the chances that Nintendo are testing the waters with these figures? I mean, it's not like there are a lot of sold WiiU's here so a non WiiU owners aren't likely to buy them. Not only that, but they only work on a very small selection of games.
In a way it's a smart business decision to make a limited amount in waves, but at the same time keep producing them if demand is high.

Sigh... I eventually bought WFT and Peach, even though I had planned to get only 8 of the first wave.
Let's see how well self control is going to work for waves two and three v_v

Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh same crap for lucario as yesterday. It let me add it to cart, I go to check out, it asks me to review the order, and right after I hit complete, nothing shows up on the receipt. Receipt is for 0 dollars. No confirmation from TRU or paypal that the order went through.
If I try to add lucario to cart again, the cart is empty.

Ugh....are we sure it's not THIS Friday for Best Buy? Very annoying indeed.
Is TRU still doing buy 3 for $30 ???
Wonder if Nintendo World in NYC will have them on Fri. I guess I'll find out when I get there lol.
Probably not as much as the three in the first wave simply because he's an unlock in Mario Kart 8. I'd wager Little Mac and Pit have a greater chance of being rare, but that's just my opinion.
I heard they were well stocked before. Try them if you can.
Nah, TRU sale was for a week. They're doing Buy 1 Get second 40%. That works for Amiibos as well.

I'm pretty sure the Nintendo World Store got them all in yesterday (Marth, Villager, WFT), including gamecube adapters and they sold out within the day.
I heard it was today that they were getting them, but I guess I was too late
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
Went to work today to pick up Diddy/Zelda/Mac. They had literally 20 each of Marth/Villager/Fit. Also had ~15 GC adapters and 10 Smash bundles. I wish I could buy them all and give to those of you that need them
I presume Toy R Us?
Game witholding stock so they can sell them in bundles of 12?

So you're just straight up not going to tell us? Cool.No
I should explain.
So I was on the GAME site doing something completely unrelated, and clicked on "My Profile" just to see what was in there and it took me to this page with a load of product entries: https://www.game.co.uk/webapp/wcs/s...6siGdlnk+EiHQ==&ddkey=http:mStaticPageDisplay
I was looking through it to see if there were any unnanounced Amiibos listed and noticed in there there was a product listing for "The amiibo Bundle - includes 12 amiibo and Super Mario Mushroom amiibo Carry Case" which had the link I posted above which directed to the product page for the PS2 version of Space Chimps.
Where then?No

I cant seem to be able to pre-order Rosalina, Shulk, Lucario and Meta Knight from amazon. Is there something special with these Amiibos? Rosalina is a target exclusive right? I wonder if this is the same thing for Canada.
What about Shulk, Lucario and Meta Knight? Is there some exclusive deal with those 3 also?

This type of nasty practice from game wouldn't surprise me at all. Good for someone who wants them all but haven't got any yet though.
Also lol at Space Monkeys.
Yeah. But not sure how it's being handled in Canada.
Shulk- Gamestop
Lucario- Toys R Us
MK- Best Buy
I believe Meta Knight has been confirmed Bestbuy exclusive in Canada on the Bestbuy Community Forums. (Still waiting for him to go up for pre-order!)
Not sure on the official Canadian retailers for Rosalina, Shulk, and Lucario.
Haha you are right, 15. crazy
So then the complete list of exclusives is this? :
Rosalina - Target
Shulk- Gamestop
Lucario- Toys R Us
MK- Best Buy
And all of those launch in February?
