Yay, that's wave 1 and 2 completed. I have a spare Fox, Marth, Diddy and Luigi too! (All of which still in their packaging and the last two of which are Japanese :))
 
Was just able to preorder Rosalina at target online.

Hope it works for others!
This is chaos. I'm glad I was working nights the morning it first went up (it was the last page open on safari and it reloaded showing the different button at 535AM EST). Best of luck mi amiigos
 
I'm trying to justify in my head paying the Amazon.de prices for the missing four Amiibo's I need from wave 1 & 2.

Is there an active list of store exclusive figures?
 
Decided to let them free!

They're so lovely

I've been posting on here for a bit but I finally got my amiibos! Just missing Captain Falcon and Pit, which Best Buy should have for me on the 30th. (hopefully...)
 
Gamestop just shipped my Little Mac (and a Peach to pad the cost out for free shipping), but Amazon.de hasn't shipped out my Pit, Capt Falcon, and Wii Fit Trainer yet. Hope they do it soon.

I wasn't expecting any of this to arrive before 2015, but now the ETAs are all on New Years Eve so I guess I might head home from holiday stuff earlier than planned to make sure I catch them on like the 2nd.
 
My Gamestop Pit just shipped a few hours ago, Luigi/Cap will probably be next.

Funny that I happen to get Luigi and Captain Falcon in the same shipment, considering they're the final Mario Kart Mii costumes I need to unlock.
 
I pre-ordered Sheik and Toon Link on amazon.ca this evening. Sheik has a delivery date of Feb 6, but Toon Link is still pending. Could Toon Link be low on stock?
 
Ok good my Walmart order shipped. Now I should be set with wave two. Still need Marth and Villager but hopefully I can trade for them with the extras I have.
 
Allright! My pit is been shipped from wal-mart, it say I may get it by January 8, ha! I wonder if that is just an estimate or it may arrive earlier.

No word on captain falcon yet.

Damn, I regret now not buying it from amazon.
 
I'm hoping Palutena is announced soon. I am having fun creating teams. For example, Mario & Luigi, and Link & Zelda. Pit needs a partner!

Also going to team up Bowser and Peach.
 
My Pitt shipped as well I emailed Walmart to try to get them to change the shipping address but I must have missed the cut off time for it...maybe I'll find another way to get it to him.

Wave 2 almost complete!

plz no :(

She's sure to be another rare one, meaning I'll have to compulsively hunt her down...
 
That was an exclusive, and I think it's fair to assume her numbers were a lot lower for preorders than Shulk/Lucario had for online. I'm sure she won't be that hard to find in store around launch. (I base this on absolutely nothing)

Your also assuming Palutena won't be exclusive either? I'm betting there will be Nintendo World exclusive at some point it could very well be her...

  • For those who don't want to deal with Targets bait and switch, or making you wait until 4 a.m.
  • For those who want to be assured that you WILL get a Rosalina figure
  • For those who don't care what the box says
  • For those who are gonna give the scalpers the finger.

Just helping my Amiibros - this Target shit is tedious, and shitty.

# 1 best selling in Accessories for Nintendo Wii U

Oh man! Way ahead of you! I order her from there like back on the 17th. Turns out I like sleeping more then f5 at 4 am in the morning. And yes Greenewolf I know you really really really want one with the US packaging but man this has to be killing you.

Does any of these sites have the GC Adapter for a decent imported price? Lol

Lol how did I know you'd be popping up in this conversation lol. And yup its killing me. But its all good persistence.
 
What's the real difference on the box it's so minimal....

I actually really hope you get one though lol, but I like sleep and my sanity better! I would be beyond pissed if I finally got it in my cart and then sold out when others ordered 3 each.

Because you read this thread like a hawk like I do. And every time I point you over to any over seas Amazon (which thank god at least you got it order over there already.) you go "nope!! Needs to be AMERICA!" I'm paraphrasing lol but good luck man. I'm rooting for you lol

Pure and simple I have all the US amiibos available and all of wave 3 preordered in duplicate and I like them without the number on the box more. Seeing the one off or non-US writing on 1 vs. the rest would bug the bejeezus out of me to point of paying the scapler prices anyway just get them digits off the box... kinda sad but eh everybody needs a hobby mine is collecting Ninty memorabilia.
 
Secured a Pit today! Last one from gamestop that wasn't picked up by the customer. Just missing Luigi (which has shipped from TRU) and Wave 2 is complete!
 
Ok, so scalpers have been having a felid day because of extremely low supply. Most notable to recent memory how fast pit is being sold out along with any other lesser known amiibo. Is the best way to deal with scalpels is to not give them money? Or are there other ways? I hate scalpels more than anything and hope they choke on all their unsold amiibos. But this problem is just getting worse.
 
Welp, ordered Lucario from Amazon fr.

Fuck the scalpers.

If you want I can give you one of mine. I order after they canceled my first one then I ordered again after they gave me the code. So thats 2 (cough and one from Amazon.fr) I have issues. Any who I'm will to part with one if you pay the cost and shipping.
 
Damn, ~$24 for Rosalina alone, and that's at the cheapest shipping! At some point you may as well settle for a scalper, but fuck if I'm gonna encourage that shit. Anyone have experience ordering international? I'm wondering if there's any stipulations to ordering French Rosa/Harmonié.

24 is cheap considering the scalpers here have jacked that price all the way up to 70 dollars.

Welp!!!! I'm super done trying to understand people. I just did a search over on eBay just to make that 70 was right. Which it is. Some even sell for 40. But what I saw there was even worse than that!!! 125 dollars!!! That is how much a people are willing to pay for her!! Geez!!!.....sigh.

In truth the "best" way to deal with them is to change the collective conciousness of the whole world at once to not overpay for anything its kinda become a fact of life sadly and most ppl who pay those prices assume well... I can always resell it for that price if need be...
