So there are multiple eBay listings for preorders of the store exclusives. With the horror stories in this thread though, I want to pose the question: Is it worth it to pay? I don't want to throw $170 down for something that may not even come to fruition.

Also,

NO. BAD SELLER. GO STAND IN THE CORNER AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU DID.

Fuck no to that scalper shit.
Better off importing.

 

[-Horizon-]

Other than packaging are there any differences between the US/JP versions?

That should be the only difference. Hence why its region free.

 

[akileese]

Is it safe to assume that Shulk will be the the amiibo with the best resale value?

No one at all can predict resale value right now, especially not for an item that is over 2 months from it's release. If you want them, try to snag as many first runs as you can and hope you can get them all.

 

[LiK]

just saw someone's Amazon preorder for Marth canceled.

none. if you plan on opening them, just import if you see the hard to find ones available.

 

[Jawmuncher]

How was it still a preorder now.

Its gonna be Lucina, I can feel it in my blood.

 

[TheAggroCraig]

It means it never shipped and Amazon was like lolsorry. Yay for overselling preorders!

 

[Jawmuncher]

Lucina and if they do a Female Robin I could see being really big.
That Waifu material is serious business.
One of the reasons F5ing for Rosalina is so annoying.

That's pretty bad.

 

[Josephl64]

That scalper's product description...

"DO NOT BUY IF YOU CANNOT WAIT"

 

[LiK]

Amazon had them up again for a short bit available for Dec 20 last week. guess he got in on that.

Wonder if any of those went through.
Didn't even know it had popped up.

 

["D"]

These figures are region free people so thank me later

Just picked up my Rosalina

Preordered. Also got one preordered with Amazon.de as backup. Once Target opens up, I'll preorder there as well. Don't wanna fall victim to scalpers snatching shit up

 

[Toad.T]

Fuck no to that scalper shit.
Better off importing.

But I'm building a US complete collection, and I think I missed chances to preorder them. (Or in the case of some, didn't have a chance at all, due to having to use .ca addresses. )

Shouldn't certain EU territories still have the english packaging?

 

[Hazu]

Can't believe Target Canada don't even have a shop online yet. It's so stupid. I have no idea how I'm gonna get this one. Preordered it on Play-Asia last week but since nothing is safe...

 

[-Horizon-]

Can you cancel a play asia preorder?

I saw this:

Once bought, this item cannot be cancelled or returned.

and got a little worried. Or is it only count as bought when it ships?

Lucina and if they do a Female Robin I could see being really big.

All the waifus!

 

[Hazu]

Shouldn't certain EU territories still have the english packaging?

EU boxes are numbered while American/Canadian boxes just have the 6+ label. I think there are other minor difference that probably matter to the most hardcore collectors but I'm not quite sure since I'm new to toy collecting.

 

[Fandangox]

I also received an email today to update my order information on the Captain Falcon amiibo.


Ninty pls

Unless you're keeping them in the original package or wanting to resell them, it shouldn't matter since they're all the same thing. TBH I'd rather have a complete Japanese set over a U.S. Set. Everything Japanese is cooler.

 

[LOCK]

I still can't find Diddy Kong. :/

 

[Hazu]

By the way guys, do you think we'll get non-SSB Amiibo before they all come out?

I really want a Captain Toad and a Toadette Amiibo.

Also, do you think they will make Bowser Jr. only or also all the Koopalings?

 

[Nori Chan]

god if they make the koopa kids ;___;

 

[Gusto]

Can you cancel a play asia preorder?

Nope, but why would you cancel?

 

[iShouldGoPro]

Metaknight - Best Buy
Lucario - Toys r Us
Shulk - Gamestop.. sorry, I'm drunk, i said Best Buy

are there any other exclusive amiibos for retailers that have been announced?

 

[gAg CruSh3r]

Check all over town for Little Mac and my local GameStop only had the preorders in stock. Is there any website that's selling Little Mac yet?

 

[Marvie_3]

It counts as bought as soon as you place the order. I ordered a Lucario from there before I was able to get one from Toys R Us. Now I can't cancel it. It's bullshit.

Metaknight - Best Buy

Shulk - Best Buy

Rosalina is exclusive to Target.

I never even considered others coming out before the SSB line was over...I'm going to guess probably not, but Captain Toad is a possibility?

Seeing as how there's no female villager, or male wii fit trainer I don't think it's a good sign for all the Koopalings. Then again they are more their own characters so they could break that supposed rule

 

[Jawmuncher]

Joke ruined.

 

[chrono01]

Rosalina for Target, which sucks for those of us in Canada, since Target doesn't offer online sales and trying to get one in-store [which will be a feat unto itself] will be akin to crawling through shards of broken glass.

Thanks Nintendo, for making one of your most popular mainstream characters a retailer-exclusive figure. :/

 

[-Horizon-]

Nope, but why would you cancel?

All I need is one.

Though I guess if I get more than one I can sell it to someone here who needs it at whatever price I bought it for to get my money back.

Haven't made the purchase at play asia though, just asking first.

 

[friskykillface]

I thought shulk was gamestop exclusive?

 

[blamite]

So, my Samus amiibo has a bit of a lean to it, like she's leaning maybe 5 degrees or so to one side.

Is this a fairly common thing, or the kind of fluke where if I got another one it wouldn't have the same problem? It's kind of dumb that this relatively minor flaw is bugging me so much, but it is, and if I can get one that doesn't have this flaw, I'll totally do it.

Koopa Kids Club Nintendo Platinum reward choose ONE - lol this thread will EXPLODE.

Most of the Samus figures have a lean to them.

Well I guess they could fit in the Mario Kart 8 line then. ;o

Rosalina - Target

Aw shit.

 

[Gusto]

Rosalina is exclusive to Target.

Just sell it on eBay, these figures are going for a pretty penny. Just get your money back, that's what I'm going to do if I get another Rosalina. Also I picked up a couple Diddys and Macs just incase I miss a figure, I can make a trade.

I'm sure you can get one without a lean, but from what I've seen...it's not an uncommon flaw

So true.

Can't wait to see a bunch of guys (including myself) lining up to get Rosalina when the store opens.

Should I feel ashamed..? ;_;

Which amiibo is this? If it's a waifu I don't have then I could buy it off you.

Well I guess they could fit in the Mario Kart 8 line then. ;o

What's sad is I'm actually planning on trying to get all the amiibos...this won't end well.

 

[MicH]

So true.

Just don't fight over it like someone said two grown men were over a Little Mac Amiibo earlier in this thread

 

[Hazu]

Same here.

Not sure I'll be able to continue when Pokemon Amiibo arrive though.

It's still a hassle. I don't see why they cant allow me to just cancel an order considering it won't ship for at least a month. It's not like I'm cancelling as they're boxing it up.

 

[That Wont Fit In There]

So true.

Can't wait to see a bunch of guys (including myself) lining up to get Rosalina when the store opens.

Nope. Hoping they actually have a set date unlike this wave 2 BS, I have no problem going to Target at open time.

 

[Josephl64]

So true.

Don't worry about it...I looked through 20+ Peach's in one store for the one I wanted and it was the only thing I got from there. Those looks ~

Just talking about the rosalina one. Probably not going to preorder off play asia.

Just don't fight over it like someone said two grown men were over a Little Mac Amiibo earlier in this thread

Nah, I want to see a waifu fight go down.
