Well....it is Xenoblade related. If your not there day one prepair to pay scalper prices. Also prepair for a couple of low number print runs. Meta Knight sold out within hours here in Canada. It's my understanding Rosilina also sold out fast at Target in America. It's safe to say the retailer exclusives are going to be hard to come by post release unless Nintendo does a reissue.

Rosalina hasn't went up yet as far as I know, the page is just a placeholder

Xenoblade was far from a day one only purchase.
 
I really should see if I can get Ike preordered for Wave 3. Already regret not preordering Pit and Captain Falcon since I will be running around like an idiot for those two.
 
The problem is figuring out the release day.

lol...just wondering the same thing...A Target rep, and the Best Buy website both referenced the 19th I believe which would be Friday.


Also side question.....For all the Amiibo fans, are you keeping yours in box or taking them out of the box?????????????


Personally, I'm taking mine out of the box as worrying about box quality is too stressful, and there are too many variables when dealing with companies like Amazon, and also, out of the box is easier for display and they are functional.
 
When I got my Zelda I was pretty amazed at the difference in paintjobs. I'm no figurine connoisseur but I still found it pretty noticeable. Went through like 10 and eventually took the one I liked best.

Noticed that with the Links they had at GameStop as well...
 
If you want those characters. DK is not currently hard to find. Fox is slowly becoming low on stock in certain places or sold out, but can still be found.

Eh, DK is a dime a dozen around here (South East USA). Fox is dwindling in availability but still not hard to find.

I've watched The Lego Movie.


Nothing will ever stay in the box.
 
Ooooooo hey, I just noticed where my Little Mac on my bestbuy.com order (for delivery) just switched from "status not available" to "order in the process of being fulfilled". Itshappening?
 
Stores around me in the mall I'm checking out still have most of the Wave 1 figures around. Wave 2 is impossible so far aside from the Zelda I found at Target. This is a bummer.

Anyone wanna help me out? lol
 
I just pre-ordered all of wave 3 from Best Buy for in-store pickup.

Why am I worried I won't get them?

I also have Little Mac available for pickup on Friday. I'm hoping when I go there I will find Pit, Lyigi, and Captain Falcon.

You literally said the exact same thing I said, maybe that was intentional though :P

Yeah I'm not really sure how I feel about Fox yet. In a week I think we'll have a better picture on its availability.
 
TRU sent me my "Diddy Kong" It turned out it's Donkey Kong. WTF TRU....

At Best Buy when picking up my wave 1 preorders, they almost gave me a 2nd Mario instead of Marth. I complained and they explained Marth didn't arrive yet so my preorder will just stay in place for a bit longer until it arrives, but I almost walked out with a 2nd Mario instead of a Marth. :/

I haven't seen Fox in about a week in North Florida. I've checked multiple stores and nada. :(

When I talked to the lady at Target about Diddy Kong, she saw one Donkey Kong there and thought it was the same figure. Kinda explains everything. :/
 
Just go to toys r us and get one. :lol
U talked me into it. Just got back , they had alot of zeldas and i looked at a few and one had a weird big forehead going on. They had no litte mac or diddy, good luck to all trying to find them. Stopped at target too and they had nothing.
 
All this stuff about Best Buy stocking wave 2 on shelves and declining the purchase leads me to 2 assumptions.

1) Best Buy is run by dummies.
2) they are probably holding wave 2 stock as the new figures will be in this week's circular.

TRU online still has it if you're still looking. I saw a bunch around here the other day, but then again, these things tend to disappear quickly. Could all be gone by now.
 
Picked up the last Zelda at GameStop. The staff there was super nice, though they had no idea about Little Mac or Falcon. I preordered a lot of Wave 3, just in case.
 
You can't cancel an online order with GameStop right?

Canadian here, wondering whether it's worth it to preorder Shulk from GameStop US

It's just so pricey though for what I should be able to preorder here...

My assumption is that they will be putting all 6 out on Friday. Thy are already in this week's weekly ad stating "available Friday" (the 19th).

Yeah you can, I've done it twice already with these amiibos. Just click the order details and there is a red button for canceling. Not sure if that includes out of country orders. Or if there is a time limit for canceling.

All ones that were in the ad saying available Friday have been pushed to the 30th. At my work we get phone calls sometimes about in stock items so we have to know corrections like this, especially with ads.
 
ToysRus finally shipped Little Mac. And I received my Diddy Kong and "Zelda" figurines. And by Zelda I mean another Diddy Kong. I had to call the 1-800 number and now they are sending Zelda for free with no additional charge.... At least I feel good about the order. xD I just sort of wish I accidentally received 2 Little Macs instead.
Now to see which of my friends didn't buy Diddy yet and see if they want him for free. Merry Christmas! XD

Yes it's worth it.

I preordered it with GameStop and I will with EB Games as soon as possible. At this point I pretty much preorder the ones I expect to be right on at least two different sites.

no, but once the scalper ball got rolling it was pretty hard to get until the expensive reprint. Amiibos are already hot, so expect it to be gone quick.

Plus I'm sure Gamestop is going to be tempted to sell Shulk used for $40 or something.

It's the latter. Our ad states that the street date for the new figures are on Friday, but it was poorly communicated to employees who are operating on the street date in our stock system, which was yesterday.
 
Im beginning to think Nintendo and Toys R US have some kind of deal in place where toysrus gets have a few days advantage

Well TRU is getting a much larger shipment of these figures than any other store. Explains why they cost 1 dollar more. They probably knew their competitors would have low supply and people will turn to them. They were right lol
