Which Meijer? I am in Belleville, and the one on Belleville Rd had a Diddy Kong that I picked up tonight.

I did notice something odd. On Friday, there was a tag for Pit - which was empty. When I was there again tonight, the Pit tag said Marth. The Pit tag was gone altogether.

Greenville had Pit, Rockford had Falcon. Both had Diddy, Zelda and Luigi.
 
so the TRU ebay order for Lucario says it has 2 day shipping by 12/22 10AM and estimated to arrive by 12/25. Can't wait to see if it actually ships tomorrow.
I'd be so upset lol

I don't think it will though. I'm guessing it was just stock text they put on everything whether it was readily available or not.
 
Is Pit really going to be that much more rare than the other Wave 2s, or have they just not shipped enough yet? This inconsistent release is confusing as hell. Hope that there will be more shipments this week since I haven't found Falcon yet.
 
Someone catch me up on what happened with Target? They had a system error that canceled all the orders and now... can't fulfill those orders?

The orders were accidentally cancelled. They're working on a way to let them be reordered properly. (Since they legally can't simply reinstate them.)
 
Mario is the perfect
gateway drug
amiibo to gift.

Cheap, readily available, and a classic. He is also one of the few flawless amiibo paint/design-wise.

He is also so normal than people would want one of the "cool ones" to give company to mario.

And then Iwata rubs his hands.

Went Falcon hunting today, no luck. He's really the only one I want right now for his MK8 costume. I only have Link so far since he's the most functional Amiibo, but I'll probably grab Mario, Peach, and Zelda eventually.

Where at did you go hunting. Maybe other gaffers well help you our :)
 
I'm starting to worry about Pit.
I never thought I'd type that sentence.

He has never showed up in Houston, aside from some fabled Gamestop in-store preorders.

It's getting near the end of Christmas shopping blitz, and the Amiibo wasteland that has already manifested itself sends a shiver down my spine.
 
I visited a Target, Best Buy, and Toys R Us today. All of them had at least 5 Luigi figures with Target having over 10.

Too bad Best buy wont let you buy luigi until the 30th....same with C. Falcon and Pit...stupid internal street dates. Its because they knew they'd get them late.

I hope that comes true for me - not just with Luigi, but with all the remaining wave 2s. I am sitting idly by and waiting for Amazon to ship them. I'm wondering if they will just eventually cancel my preorder.
 
I caved and got that Japanese WFT linked to a few pages back. No idea how many they have available, but they've already sold 79.

I'm excited at the potential of getting Pit this week, but confused by the "legally" part. Why can't they just reinstate???

If you used a debit card or paypal...by law they can't reinstate a cancelled order...supposedly they will make sure you can still get whatever was cancelled though...

It makes sense to me they can't legally reinstate an order. I'm actually surprised they can at all. I mean if they cancel the order and then reinstate it themselves you could (I'd think) argue that it was an unauthorized charge.

They can't just cancel your order and then go, "LOL nevermind we're taking your money again." It'd basically be the store making a purchase on your behalf, legally speaking, so they have to do something more complicated to hold one for you.

If you cant find him in any stores I'd recommend you buy him online because here in aus I managed to snag the last one my ebgames had and this was at like 9.15am launch day, I havent seen him in any shop since.
 
Fox, I suppose, if you care about rarity? Some have been saying that he's becoming hard to find.

I'd go with Fox. Of the 3 he's the most well made and Star Fox Wii U is confirmed to have amiibo support.

Unsure if this is completely accurate, but I think people have been saying that Fox is getting less common.

I have those 3. fox is by far the most detailed and quality of the 3.

Seems like its unanimous. Fox it is. Thanks
 
The Mario amiibo is legit. Wonderfully crafted, beautifully painted, loads of detail, strong silhouette, dynamic pose, and the fireball looks amazing. Usually I don't pick Mario in games where other characters are available, and I thought I'd be the same way with his amiibo, but I'm glad he's one of the nine I bought. He really would make a nice safe gift for anyone who likes Nintendo.
 
That's why when I saw Diddy in toys r us I bought him and cancelled the one on Target. I just have Rosalina there now. I got falcon pit and 3 of wave 3 at Best Buy but I'll check the stores everyday just in case this happens (this canceling preorder stuff)

Yep, I planned to grab any of the Wave 2 when I saw them in the stores just to insure against cancellations or damaged packaging but, I've not seen any in stores. Luckily the only one that was cancelled so far was Diidy from Target and I ordered a second from TRU when they were available for a short time one night.

Best Buy hasn't cancelled any on me yet and Little Mac will arrive tomorrow so I hope everything is fine with Pit and Falcon. If I do see them though it will be an instant buy just to protect against the unknown.
 
Woo, my WFT amiibo shipped too! That one'll take a while but the wait will be worth it. Kinda regret not ordering it alongside Falcon and Pit but there were a few days difference between the orders anyways.
 
Posting again because I cannot decide which one to get.
I have all three of those. Samus is nice and shiny, but I'd recommend either Fox or DK. If you have to choose, go with Fox. He's easy to hold and nice to look at. DK is quality, too, but I'm always afraid I'll drop him since he's a bit on the hefty side!
 
I currently own Samus, Link, Kirby, & I got Yoshi as a gift. I want to get Pit, so I can finally create the "'86 Dream Team", and I want to get King Dedede & Meta Knight to complete the gang for the pink puff ball.
