I really don't think everything will be fine (maybe life in general, but nothing related to this amiibo chaos). All of our orders are completely cancelled and out of their system. At this point, I can't really see how TRU can recover them and get this all straightened out.

Just tried, it doesn't work. They won't ship to the United States.
ABANDON ALL HOPE.
Everyone grab your pitchforks!
RIOT!
I literally just ordered one off there and my order went through fine.

Also anyone in the area, don't bother going there to check. Pit showed no orders or even ware house stock and falcon wasn't even in the system.

Toys R Us cancelling toon link, bowser, and sheik makes no sense since you CAN STILL PRE-ORDER IT ON THEIR SITE!
Several reasons tbh
1. I would like to know why shipments are being delayed, what they are doing about certain stores possibly releasing certain waves or parts of waves early.
2. Will these be available straight from Nintendo's site at some point.
3. I'd like to leave a message with the CS department(I don't care if it won't make a difference it'll make me feel better though.)
4. Why is the stock so limited here vs. what it seems in European countries.
5. Any other helpful information I could think to ask while I'm at it.
tl; dr what harm could it do to call them and ask?

Only fucking reason we preorder is to avoid scalpers, now were all in the shit

I have Villager and Diddy coming from the UK to Canada. They'll ship anywhere if it's directly from Amazon.

The scalpers keep buying though...
then people buy from the scalpers
quick somebody make an "amiibo cycle" meme!
Is this old info? Sorry if it is, but I only just now saw it.

Apparently the "real" Rosalina preorder didn't go up yet, and the short time it was up was a mistake.

I was literally just going to ask this question. Anyone have the same Amiibo from two different regions? Is everything on the base the same?
I haven't seen it posted but that's the conclusion we all came too awhile ago. Currently I'm more concerned about this blatant cancellation they should have waited for stock then given them to those that preordered in the order to which they were placed. Why fill up shelves when you've already got your initial shipment sold prior to release?

My two Lucarios were canceled too. Guess it's time to go preorder card hunting.

You can't trust anything. Not your pre-orders, not Nintendo, and not retailers. Do amiibos even exist?

Is that twitter reliable?
I hope to fuck they have some limit on # per address. like limit it to 2 or 3. Otherwise people will be preordering as many as they possibly can -- people will be preordering them by the tens, by the hundreds.
Yeah this I don't get. People here are paying customers, many already paid in full, just to get slapped with an email :/
I guess no amiibo is safe they cancelled my Pit, Capt. Falcon, Luccario, and Ike.... now I can't find them anywhere cause I was counting on the fact I preordered forever ago...

Goddammit I got the email saying Lucario was cancelled, I come here and apparently everyone's was.
But apparently my Luigi for $8 or whatever went through. Which is the part I didn't care about.

I think they'd rather force you to come into the store and possibly buy more than just the one thing you initially wanted. Similar to the Black Friday strategy

One asshole in this thread admitted to ordering 24 of something so he could pick a choose the best one when he got to the store or something like that so I'm sure it happens

Wave 3 is not even up for pre-order yet in the EU. My captain falcon preorder shipped but Little Mac is still showing up as "releases on 19 december", bit weird. Since I ordered them at the same time. Quickly ordered another Little Mac through a local warehouse chain over here in The Netherlands, which still seemed to have stock.

best buy sent me an email saying my little mac was in store and ready for pick up tomorrow, but then they sent me a cancellation email, what the fuck, i'm done with these fools, they were able to get my diddy and zelda orders but little mac kept getting pushed back. i bet they sold out at the store and decided to say fuck it to the online orders
Kmart, Sears, Costco, Sam's Club, Walgreens
I have checked them all, and they do not sell them.

TRU cancelled my Captain Falcon and Pit amiibo pre orders
The pain I feel in my life is real. Falcon is the one I want the most

Same thing happened with my Little Mac pre-order. Email says I can pick it up tomorrow but the online status for the order says it was available for pick up today. Then I got a call in the afternoon from Best Buy saying they didn't receive Little Mac and wanted to cancel my order but I told them I still wanted it. So they might put one on hold for me whenever get they them in.
I don't know what's going on.

Add me to the list of people who had everything canceled by TRU. I decided I don't want to play the hunting game anymore and ordered what I could from Amazon.de.
Ordered:
Luigi, Captain Falcon, Pit
Pre-Ordered:
Ike, Sheik, Toon Link, Bowser, Rosalina, Lucario
N/A on Amazon.de:
Mega Man, King DeDeDe, Sonic, Shulk, Meta Knight
It's worth paying the few extra bucks to me just to actually get these things.
As a backup I have 2 Falcons/2 Meta Knights pre-ordered at Best Buy, Sonic/Bowser pre-ordered at Amazon and the rest of Wave 3 pre-ordered at GameStop. If I end up with any multiples I'll just return them or figure it out.
