Already gone huh?

I was already kind of feeling burnt out on collecting them all trying to find Marth and Villager. This is really pushing me towards just saying "fuck it" and not caring anymore about finishing this...getting way too frustrating with scalpers and what have you.

 

[7DollarHagane]

Got rosalina, ike and dedede this morning on target.

Have all the wave 3s pre ordered now except sheik. I think I'll find that one eventually

 

[MicH]

In US? How much shipped?
Rosalina from Amazon.de is about $33 shipped to US.

She's €2 cheaper from Amazon France if that helps

 

[imjust1n]

Going to let you guys know stock for my local gamestop/ best buy in Chicago area since wave 2 will be put out this morning.
My guess is gamestop has nothing and best buy will as well or maybe like one of the wave 2 amiibos and that one will be the one I dont want.

 

[The Bankslammer]

aww man and i still have to find somewhere to order the rest of the wave 3 amiibos i want

might just go import only from here on. this is fuuuuuuucked

 

[Jawmuncher]

I'm thankfully still sitting on a amazon.de preorder for Rosalina.
Still 33 for one figure is a lot. Might see about adding more to put it in the realm of 20 a figure

 

[imjust1n]

I kinda wonder how many of each amiibo do they actually make?

My guess is like 50k to 80k ?

 

[Nia]

In US? How much shipped?
Rosalina from Amazon.de is about $33 shipped to US.

$9.90 for economy shipping, and 14.90 for expedited.

 

[LiK]

You guys made me think Target sold her. Just importing eh

 

[O.v.e.rlord]

Amazon.de is here to save us time, energy, and most importantly, sleep.

Extra costs be damned at least I still get get the ones I really like.

 

[metsallica]

Play Asia has it for 19 bucks and comes to 29 total, not bad when it comes to 17 total at some places, what is 12 more bucks compared to dealing with scalpers

For something like the ROB where there is a physical difference with the figure, I could see myself trying to acquire both. Otherwise, the only difference I can tell is the boxes and in that case I'm just trying to acquire all of the NA ones.



Rosalina is Target exclusive in the US. If you are outside that, you have plenty of options I believe. There is also importing.

I was looking at them on GAME UK's website to see what the difference was... looks like in the top right corner they're all numbered and on the top left corner under the "Smash Bros" logo they say "Smash Bros Collection" where the North American amiibos just say "6+" in the top right corner and under the "Smash Bros" logo in the top left corner it just has the character's name.




Ah, fair enough! Yeah the one with the Famicom color scheme is definitely sexier than the NES grey.




It's a Target exclusive, so it's not available anywhere else in North America.

Edit: I guess that only matters if you care about box/packaging uniformity. Otherwise importing is your only other option

Sorry I wasn't clear, I mean worldwide. I want to import, though I'd like her to be named Rosalina so that rules out Japan. So where else? Play-Asia, ShopTo, any other places to check?

I'm in the south burbs and will be checking too.

Good to know!

Amazon France has her for €13 and while the listing calls her Harmonie the box will say Rosalina. Same packaging across Europe. Another option is Amazon Germany for €15

 

[crimnos]

Am cry. Seriously, this whole experience with Target has been eye-opening. What sane retailer makes a limited item available at that hour of the morning?

Ugh, this was one of the few that I had originally set as a "must", as she's my main in Smash. Amazon.de it is then...

 

[SalvaPot]

FUCK.

I PUT MY ALARM AT THAT HOUR.

IT DIDN´T SOUND.

WHY.

Now i gotta hunt for the fucking thing, seriously target?

 

[CH4OS]

I literally had her in my cart and was being redirected back to target after checking out with PayPal 😭
It just kicked me back to the home screen and emptied my cart. I could barely contemplate what had just happened...

 

[Jawmuncher]

Exclusive anything is just the worst.

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

Target did have her up. She sold out already. At least for now. And of course I missed her =(

 

[imjust1n]

its saying only diddy and zelda are today.... others are 30th except little mac is the 19th which is stupid.

BTW IKE dedede and sonic are sold out on best buy.com

 

[blast processed]

Awesome waking up to Rosalina being gone in 35 min at 2:30 am. I want them all but this is almost not worth it.

 

[melman101]

Now I'm regretting not getting a few in order to trade for Marth / Villager.

I think I'll just go to Target the day of release and pick another one up, that's my plan. But I definitely have 1 on order, so that's good.

Now missing the elusive Marth / Villager.

 

[Damian.]

I really don't think Target has officially put Rosalina up for preorder, probably a multitude of glitches that we are catching easily because hundreds if not thousands of people are refreshing the page constantly all day and night. When it goes up it should be up for a decent amount of time to get in and get one secured.

 

[c-murph]

Hmmm, apparently, Meta Knight was available for preorder at Futureshop in Canada.

Spoiler

Sold Out though. Obviously.

 

[Thoraxes]

I'm seeing the same thing.

 

[javac]

Little Mac and Villager in stock at Amazon.co.uk.

Little Mac £10.85

Villager £12.99

almost

 

[Draconestra]

Well if anyone spots Captain Falcon at Toys R Us, please let us know. I gotta pick up three of him. :<

 

[OmahaG8]

You people are effing animals. Animals!

 

[Piscus]

Why are they opening Rosie up for preorder in the middle of the night? I have a job... I can't stay up all night hoping!!

 

[PadWarrior]

Shoot, guess I can't get a Rosalina for me and my 5 year old.

 

[gamergirly]

Aww

 

[LiK]

Sounded like it was a mishap. It was up around like 3AM and was up for a few min. I think they were just working on the site and it accidentally went live.

I already have the JPN version preordered so I'm not too worried altho I would like a backup.

 

[Lemmy Caution]

Well, I've managed to secure or order all the amiibo so far, so I took a chance on Rosalina and Lucario from amazon.de shipping to Canada.

Thankfully it allowed me to log in with my usual amazon credentials so navigating the language barrier wasn't bad, ordering both helped with the per unit sipping cost.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

I've ordered Marth (in stock 12/24) and Rosalina from Play-Asia for a few bucks under $60. No regrets.

It was up for ~30 mins or so before it was sold out. It may have been a mishap but I sincerely think it was just sold out very quickly or they are doing phased waves of putting them up for pre-order like the other shops.

 

[SuperCambot]

Yeah, I'm just a guy who puts his daughters to bed, plays a few video games, goes to sleep with his wife and gets up at 6am to go to work in the morning. Apparently I don't fit in Target's Amiibo demographic.

 

[AdventureMike]

Apologies for double post but:

Diddy is up for sale at TRU.com:

[IntelliHeath]

Same here. I'm trying to be tolerance with Target but I still don't like how they did it. Hopefully they would have a second batch being available in morning.

 

[LiK]

Diddy and Mac shipped from TRU. Let's see if they fuck this up.

 

[PadWarrior]

Yeah this whole exclusive deal is just stupid.

 

[Velcro Fly]

I guess I'd rather have it happen while I was asleep than have it happen while I was at work like Lucario.

Still this is getting on my nerves big time.

 

[LiK]

Yeah this whole exclusive deal is just stupid.

NA is continually screwed. EU and Japan have had a few restocks for the hard to find ones.

 

[Vidiot]

Quick question. If I preorder Rosalina from amazon France does it work the same as amazon US? I won't be charged until it ships and I can cancel at any time if I can score a Target Preorder?

 

[Chuck]

Did I miss Rosie? What time was it?

 

[Mumups]

Looks like Amazon UK restocked.
Villager is £12.99 and Marth is £10.99 now.

Just bought Villager, but bought Marth from coolshop for £15 a couple of days ago..
Hopefully Wii Fit Trainer comes back so I don't have to import it from Germany

Yes

 

[SuperCambot]

For some reason, I want the North American set. I don't want the Euromiibos.

 

[AdventureMike]

Did I miss Rosie? What time was it?

~5-5:30AM EST.

 

[LiK]

Haha, you're not alone. A lot of guys here want to display them sealed. Totally understandable.
