Holy crap. Really happy I pre-ordered. I just hope they'll be able to fulfill it. I think I'll pre-order at my local EB also just to be safe.

I just did this just in case.

You can pre-order Rosalina and Lucario from their site. Shulk and Meta Knight are nowehere to be found. I think I'll just do that too just to be safe. If I'm able to score a Rosalina locally, I probably won't have any problems selling it for a small profit.

I went to Target. They had to go in the back and open the box. It was a huge Target and the only received four.
omg are you fucking kidding me? I was thinking about pre ordering this last night.
WHY DID I NOT DO IT THEN
That's because wave 3 is split into two in Europe and Japan; the first part (with Rosalina, Lucario and more) are coming in January and the rest (Shulk, Metaknight etc) are coming in February. I believe only Amazon UK has the full wave listed right now
Not convinced these thing a are worth buying only to resell at a higher price. Marth is selling for a lot, Villager is doing ok, but WiiFit Trainer is not bringing in enough to be worth the trouble of listing and shipping. I imagine that Fox and Samus and the like are only going to be in the same boat as WFT since so many of them were shipped.

Might still be up in store so might want to try that asap.
A big thing is that even though she is rare, she is not popular.
So only collectors or odd fans like myself really want her.
wave 3 is so big the west that I honestly find it weird they want to do it all at once even with the exclusives.
I just did this too. $33 after shipping. :/
Still cheaper and better than paying scalpers I guess.

But is there some kind of retailer exclusivity going on in Europe? Probably not since there are so many countries.
Anyway, if Shulk and Meta knight are coming later, I'll probably add them to my preorder when they become available.

My buddy just checked TRU back home for me.
They are still just sitting on the original wave.
No retailer exclusives in Europe, thankfully

judging from the way best buy also slipped farther back than originally planned, it seems fair to speculate that there was a supply problem.
Somebody said something about a port strike?
it's all just speculation though.
Yeah I expect so. Hope the wait's not too long!
I see, thanks, hopefully its sorted out soon.

Huh? Amazon has shipped my Little Mac and my Diddy Kong.
Amazon shipped my Diddy Kong, Princess Zelda, and Little Mac.
This is Amazon.ca, though.

Amazon.de seems to be the place for everything so long as you order more than one so you don't get killed on shipping.
Well those 3 are also the ones that seem to be found more in stores, did you order anything else from wave 2 that hasn't been shipped yet?

Heh, you and I both.
Ah well, I didn't really want Shulk but it'd have been nice to grab.
You can still pre-order in store. In fact, for those who are serious about getting all of wave 3, make sure to pre-order the entire wave now before it's too late. I just did an hour ago or so.

Not mine but I think this one looks great.
Im still trying to decide if I want to turn my Link into a Hyrule Warriors version.

I am so disgusted by how limited these are and have zero patience for it.
Hopefully they do second runs throughout 2015 and I'll buy them when I can instead of buying the whole lot at once. I just don't have the time or money to worry about it. I pre-ordered shulk and Megaman and when ness comes out i'll get him.

Oh sorry, I thought you were referring to the first three from Wave 2.
Nope, my Captain Falcon, Luigi, and Pit still haven't shipped.

Yeah especially when other areas just right in terms of availability.

Best Buy has been screwing me around for 3 days. On Friday their site said the new stuff was available.
I get there, a guy grabs them from the back for me, I got to check out, wont sell then to me because they aren't actually available until Sunday. So I preorder the 2 I want to pick up on Sunday.
Go back today and they are actually on the shelf (only 1 Mac and several Zelda and Diddy). I leave those to go get my preorders which they haven't pulled!
No biggie Ill go get them off the shelf. EXCEPT they aren't available until until TUESDAY and no they still won't sell them to me despite being told several different things.
So to make it up to me I can apparently pick up my 2 preorders on tuesday for just the preorder cost of $5 each.
I have zero faith this will happen.

Best Buy seems to have a really big problem with preorders on smaller quantity items.
BB horror stories have been popping up a lot in here.

Anyone willing to preorder a Shulk in store for me?
Been asking a couple times now. Someone please!

Just listened to the game life podcast. Where some of you guys really blowing up Chris Kohler and calling him a liar on twitter about the amiibo discontinuation? Why?
Well to be fair I did say "anything from wave 2" so that's where the confusion is, either way it doesn't seem like the other ones will be shipped anytime soon.
Were random people on the internet doing douchey things? Probably. But what else is new? I don't think anybody participating in here did though.

best buy is complete shit really. I dont trust them at all to rely on store pickups.

I fear I'm going to have to reach out for help to secure Lucario (and maybe Rosaline if I manage to miss her pre-order window) when wave 3 hits. TRU is the only store that does not exist near me.
I'm in the same boat. I'm going to head over there the day it comes out and if there are more than one I'll PM you.
I don't know who that is.

That would be awesome, thanks! GS, Target, and Best Buy are all in easy reach of me. Anything I could look out for for anyone?
UK website coolshop have villager in stock at £14.95. Just ordered one.

Damn. Why the hell did I want Diddy Kong all of a sudden?
Searched three Targets before finding and buying one.

I felt like the nicest person only buying one little mac today.
Easily could have just bought them all for reasons.
really hope they went to people looking for them to play with or collections.
