My TRU Pit order was delayed, but others are shipping? What's the deal!? I've stopped looking for him in stores because I was pretty confident in my TRU order. Now? Not so sure.
I got a delay email just after midnight. Then I got an order summary for it 10 hrs later. Not sure if it is shipping confirmation but says it is expected 1/9 to 1/14. That was for Pit.

On my way home from vacation to see if BB is going to disappoint with Capt and Pit
 
Has anyone ordered from Big Bad Toy before? How reliable are they?

100% reliable. I've ordered action figures from them for over 10yrs.

I have recently switched to Amazon for more things only because of Prime and they're getting more into the toy game. But BBTS has been nothing but good to me.

Shipping takes a while, I've gotten stuff from Japan in 3 days vs BBTS 1 week. That's about the only complaint I have with them. Their customer service has been top notch for the few times I've used them that wasn't even BBTS mistake (stolen package).

Thanks for the feedback, really helpful.
 
I just need Little Mac to complete my collection so far. :(

And I need to replace my Captain Falcon:

Cool, this is awesome. Bookmarking.

Perhaps this could be added to the OP as well?

Wow just so happens a walmart near me has Villager... and it has a Wii Fit Trainer... No Marth though...
 
I just called Best Buy to switch my Meta Knight preorder to ship to home. The shipping info updated in my order details, but the representative told me they couldn't switch it. Then they put me on hold without saying anything and I got disconnected. :|
 
Just received my first damaged package amiibo from Amazon. The corner is bent causing a noticeable crease, not good for a collector. Ah well, I guess it's only Samus. Might be able to get another down the line maybe.

It was packaged good, but still got bent. It arrived at the same time as Luigi, packaged the exact same way, and Luigi is perfectly fine. Shrug.
 
So with rumors of Samus and Fox being discontinued, how many figures do you think Nintendo will keep producing?

When all 48 figures are out, are we still going to see Mario/Link/Peach/Pikachu only? I hope not.

I can see a few more becoming staples along the way...

Maybe Luigi, Bowser, and Charizard...
 
Looks like (click quote to see store) still has Rosalina for preorder. 1 would cost me about 22 EUR or 2 for 35 EUR shipped.

Hiding delicate info from scalpers within a post, accessible only to actual NeoGAF members... It's genius.

It's actually a Baseball Bat display case you can purchase from Michael's! I use them for my amiibo and Disney infinity and they look great mounted on the wall. Here's the link:

And look at that, they're BOGO free right now! You'll need it for wave 3 ;P

I bought two of that same case. I love them, they work perfectly.
 
Quoting for new page this might help some people I just called and confirmed stock in Walmart for Villager and WFT in my area.

Is Diddy Kong rare?

I made this:

~~~S Tier (Rares)~~~
Marth
Villager
Wii Fit Trainer
~~~A Tier~~~
Pit
Little Mac
Captain Falcon
Fox
Kirby (Europe)
~~~B Tier~~~
Diddy Kong
Samus
~~~C Tier~~~
Zelda
Luigi
Donkey Kong
Kirby (USA)
~~~D Tier~~~
Yoshi
Pikachu
Link
Mario
Peach
 

Yeah, looks like it is still there and allowing one per customer (finally!)

Has anyone ordered from Big Bad Toy before? How reliable are they?

Not at all. I had Marth, Villager, and WFT pre-ordered there (before they stopped taking preorders) and they cancelled on me leaving me high and dry. I cancelled the rest of my Amiibos with them.

That said, I've ordered tons of other stuff from them and before that they were reliable. I would NOT place all of your faith in them for Amiibos though.

Just walked out of Best Buy with my store pick up of Pit. Feels nice that they came through.

Yeah, I'm going to get mine right now. They checked into it for me and found mine today. Not sure if it was late there yesterday or what but there'll be a $10 GC for my troubles so I can't complain.

The Rosalina thirst is real.

And boy am I parched.

Out of curiosity did anyone manage to get a Target Rosalina & Luma pre-order in? Did your CC get charged recently?

When did they get yours in?? I was told mine was ready for pickup yesterday, but when I went in, they said they hadn't gotten them yet!! I need to lock this crap down!
 
Outside of the retailer exclusives who do you guys think will be the rarest of wave 3?

Honestly I hope wave 4 has:
Charizard
Jigglypuff
Ness
Olimar
Gannondorf
Pacman

Then in officially done!
