Thinking ahead, I really hope that Bowser (because of his size) has the same nice heavy weight that Donkey Kong has. I love the DK amiibo just because of the weight, feels good in your hand.

That's why I love the Disney figures! Seriously go hold a Hulk, Venom, or Baymax figure in your hand if you want to feel some WEIGHT.
 
I ordered Shulk for in-store pickup and now I'm wondering if that is more likely to be fucked up than an online order. Kind of a waste to order 2, but...
 
I suggest anyone who wants fox buys him immediately, when the second part of wave 2 hits he will be for sure discontinued, you can see the signs already
 
YOU FOOL! Have you learned nothing in this thread? Do you know how many Marths and Villagers I stood in front of and said the same thing?

Yeah, but Marth and Villager preorders were sold out like a month or two ahead of wave 1's release so it was kind of obvious they were in short supply. From what I remember, there were no preorder issues with Zelda and looking at some of the stock numbers people have posted in this thread that store employees were saying they received, there's been faaaaaaar more Zeldas per store shipment than Diddy and Little Macs combined.

I'll probably get one in a day or two, but I'm not stressing about her like I was the other two, haha.

They should treat it as. Ship to store i believe.

Just realized I have no clue how I'm going to get all my amiibos to lvl 50. Night say screw it.

I feel the same way, but with all the errors everyone has been having pretty much everywhere, I went ahead and ordered one for in store pick up and one to be shipped. I figure at least one has to go through. If I do end up getting both, I can either return one or I'm sure there will be someone who missed it who would be happy to get one here or something.
 
The rest of Wave 3 is finally up on Target although still not up for preorder maybe we will see a change tomorrow as I've ordered alot off target.com in the past and updates for electronics typically show up on Tuesdays...
 
I'm super jealous of you UK folk getting hold of wave 2 figures already,especially because you now get to use the Falcon costume on MK8.

I've got mine pre-ordered with Shopto so I should hopefully get them on Saturday or Sunday.

I can't quite believe how much money I'm spending on all of this, especially so close to Christmas, but they all look SO NICE grouped together on my bedside table.

How old are you all by the way? It will be nice to know I'm not the only 30 year old buying these things :/

TBH the only thing we know for certain is Marth, Villager, and Wii Fit Trainer were discontinued. I feel like Fox will stick around till at least the 2015 game comes out. (Unless they make a different one?) Also we are pretty sure Little Mac will be cancelled. We don't know about any of the rest right? It's just speculation.

I'm 28 years young.
 
I had the dumbest experience at Toys R Us yesterday. I picked up one of the last few Fox figures they had, with a Zelda for the B1G1 40% off deal. When I got home, I realized Fox's arm was twisted nearly backwards, and it looked horrible.

I went back in with the Fox and receipt just to do a simple exchange for another one. The lady needed my ID, my phone number, my home address, and my signature to do the exchange.

After satisfying all these credentials, she scans my receipt, and the box of my Fox, and tells me I just owe a balance of 23 cents. I told her that made no sense, and she just stared blankly at me, apologizing and telling me that's what needs to be paid for the exchange.

I told her something is obviously wrong, so she decided to try again. This time, she said I owed her $3.06 this time. At this point, I told her to just charge me for the other Fox. Once the transaction was completed, she gave me the receipt. I then took the defective Fox, handed her the same receipt back, and said I'd like to return it.

This pretty much blew her mind. She stared at me with a vapid look on her face, but had nothing to say. She scanned the receipt for the return, but it was giving her an error. Her associate told her that new purchases take about 5 minutes before they can be returned. So I'm just standing there for another 5 minutes as she kept on scanning it until it worked.

No apology, no nothing. I can tell she still wasn't really wrapping her head around what I had her do. That was probably the most ridiculous experience I've ever had trying to do an even exchange anywhere in my life. Most places don't even use the PoS to handle these instances.

Hoping I don't have to ever return anything at TRU ever again, that's for sure.

If that was me I´ll put it up on ebay: "Defective Fox, Twisted arm of dumb, UNIQUE."
 
Yo gaf I got so lucky I decided to return to best buy on a whim (even though the guy told me to check two days from now) and I just saw one diddy and one Mac just sitting there not even on the rack. They were the only two left. Looks like the Zelda rack wasn't even touched.
 
Does that affect the "they learn from how you play" or was that just some bs marketing.

Actually... yeah, yeah it could. If you level them up without items, they won't ever use items once items are turned back on. If you taunt after each KO, they will taunt after each KO. They kind of mimic stuff way more than I would have imagined. There are some interesting recounts floating around there, like this one, for example.
 
Yea..but I also have a fiancée that probably doesn't want me to fill our condo with these things . haha. And I need SOME self control

Self control: don't buy TWO of each figure.
Fiancée: if she
he?
loves you, she'll
he'll?
embrace them too.

...not really. Fiancée will always be more important. PLEASE don't put amiibo in front of your loved ones.
 
I went and bought Donkey Kong since I wanted him eventually and didn't want to end up not being able to get him later.

I went to the GameStop next to the target to pre-order Shulk and noticed they had both Diddy Kong and Little Mac behind the register. I asked if they were available and he said they were pre-order items that will be available to buy after five if no one picks them up. I'm on my way there now to see if I can hopefully snag both.

I'm 28, married, with a new baby boy this past November... I really shouldn't be buying these lol Priorities but my wife loves them too so...
 
wut? they don't let you buy it?

Nope! The guy shook my hand and said sorry bro

Then he asked them what they are and he became interested and said "man I remember him from punch out" other I led better not swipe Em

Since they wave 2 aren't abailable for purchase it seems that means that best buy got 10 Zeldas, 1 Mac and 1 Diddy

WHat the fuuuuck

They actually do learn from you, and then develop their own play style based off of what you taught them. For instance, my Zelda uses my Farore's Wind techniques just like I do. She even uses my down throw to neutral air set-up. She won't, however, go deep off the ledge to get a kill, she opts for using Din's Fire or Phantom Slash instead.

My Zelda is a level 50 now. She 2 stocked me the other night.

Stopping in at various stores today, I discovered that all the Little Macs I'd seen last week are gone, still no Diddys (except for the one I bought). Zelda is still highly available. I think that does it for my area until Best Buy supposedly starts selling Diddy on Wednesday and Mac on Friday.

It's a female because he spelled it "fiancée." "Fiancé is used for a man who is engaged and "fiancée" is used for females.
 
I just bought this 3 new Amiibos for my collection in my local store. I will open them later in my home.

Got my first this morning, Luigi. Didn't know he came with Mario's shadow to live under.

Already kicking my ass in Smash. Really tempted to get Cap. Falcon too now.
 
A manager from toysrus on reddit says check your stores on wednesday for captain falcon and others. He said Wednesday is always a big day because it is a week away from christmas
