Amiibo Thread 3 | Where release dates are made up and preorders don't matter!

Just going to repeat this from last thread:
I'm not sure if I should cancel my Amazon.it order...it's been sitting there in limbo for a while.
I actually ordered all four Amiibo at once, but they split it in two.
And I'm still hoping that I can somehow get a Shulk. I'm so annoyed at Mighty Ape for not fulfilling my Shulk preorder (well, technically Nintendo for not supplying enough stock). I'll be so sad if that just gets cancelled.

Same here, actually. I feel like 44 isn't gonna sell out that fast. Wish I could bring someone with me to buy a second.
Thanks! You get the last avatar I'll ever make (not including ones for myself).
And thanks for the words. It was good to take a break, cuz I really don't give a crap about these anymore. I mean, I do. But not really. I don't care if I don't get them. I'm more so just laughing at how crazy the shit is.
I've been lucky so far though, mostly because thisbejason and I have been helping each other out (he will hook me up with EU versions he got extras of, I got him US Lucario, and Meta Knight JP) and am helping him with other stuff. If I didn't have other people I was working with, there is no way I would be able to complete these waves.
Too ridiculous.
Best Buy is the least reliable of the amiibo retailers for extras. But you can always try.
An hour seems most reasonable. If you don't see anyone waiting at the door, wait in your car until you do.
Didn't Reward Zone twitter say there was no allocation left for walk-ins?
@Piscus, did you decide which Target you're going to?
@Person that said my avatar didn't have too much going on... hmm who was that *checks post history*
Oh it was you Piscus. How about now?
Better not be true. Otherwise I'll take it it's my fault and then I'll be sad =(

12:01 for what time zone?
If EST technically the west coast should be able to check out with them at 10a
pm if there target is open... Mines open till 11
I say if there is no one in line then just chill in your car, but when you see other people arriving and start lining up straight book it in line!
Who knows. But if TRU is any indication, I'm expecting more horror stories (only enough for pre-orders, or only 4 per store). They are starving NA with supply. So I would not expect Best Buy to do any better. But maybe they will.
Since I'm opening mine anyways and putting them in my display, I just decided to get mine from Japan and import it. Didn't even want the hassle. I have 2 meta knight coming this in a day. Once I realized they were dicking us around with 5 different release dates, awful supply constraints (lol Lucario only having 4 per store what a joke)...I just decided tot get most of the rest by import.
All I need is Sonic and Mega Man now.
None of the Best Buy stores in my area are going to carry the Meta Knight Amiibo. In fact, one store said that they are considering getting rid of the Amiibo display case altogether, as they want to make room for the Disney Infinity/Skylanders toys.
Mine sure had a horror story but honestly Ive never had a bad preorder experience at BB so welll see... I go in all the time asking about them...
Nintendoomed. Doesn't matter if they print money; no one wants the hassle of these B-tier characters and anime freaks when they can have more Elsa!
Rosalina be damned...

I did it the way I did it for two main reasons: I wanted to give an Amiibo to someone who didn't have it already and I had EU and US Amiibo so I had to make sure to give EU to openers and US to collectors or openers.
I think it's great to start off this new thread with a contest. Gj Amiibros and Amiigals.
PS Rosalina, you WILL be MINE tomorrow!
BB is usually good with pre-orders. I just meant those trying to get one without one. At this point, I'm not even expecting these chains with exclusivity to even get anything past pre-orders.

Pit arrived from Gamestop. Like my Amazon order for Captain Falcon, Pit was packaged in a good sized box and surrounded by airbags.
Looks good.
Looks good.
My friend said there was a line at Toys R Us for Lucario but as soon as they opened the door everyone ran to the back cutting in front of everybody and the employee started handing them out randomly.
but yeah, I feel ok about the limit and the large amount they received.

Not actually that important
OT3, cool.

Yes that seems the funniest way to do it. I want to see the fights too. Would be pretty exciting. I wish we could do a live feed on YouTube watch it in real time. Would be freaking awesome.
PS omg wtf we are already on page 11 or 12? At this rate well be on OT4 in no time!
This makes little sense because they're selling extremely well.
They sell out within minutes on the website and they have customers who ask abotu them all the time so getting rid of them for more space to either Skylanders or Destiny (which both already have almost full aisles to themselves) sounds counter productive, because they won't sell more than they already do if they give them 10% more space.

Funny enough, he was slated to arrive on Tuesday according to the tracking number, but when I got home after buying some groceries, the box was at my front door

That's an awesome idea too.
Tru only had a few Luca's for non-preorders while Target is going to get a minimum 20+ Rosalina's for walk in's only... way better chance by a long shot. Like I said, I'd say an hour before is a safe bet. My plan is if there is no one in line I will wait in the car, but if there is a line already then well better book it!

Probably Central since Target is based out of MN.

I feel like a jerk asking but can someone be on the lookout for Rosalina and Shulk for me? I would be willing to pay you extra, I just won't have a chance to check stores until like noon or so. I won't leave you hanging either. I wish I could hunt with you all tomorrow . If you can, please PM me. If not, hey, good luck! It's my fault anyway that I didn't schedule accordingly with work and my girlfriend.
. If you can, please PM me. If not, hey, good luck! It's my fault anyway that I didn't schedule accordingly with work and my girlfriend.Assuming that date is roughly accurate, I wonder if they pushed Wave 4 back so they could spend a couple months restocking Waves 1 through 3.
Not by the stock check that was done earlier. Seems like there's only the average is around 5
Say what? I don't even understand anymore...
WHAT IN THE HOLY FUCK.
Wow, and I thought my store was bad. Oh man. That's fuckin crazy. Were pre-order people raging? Holy god.
I think you read my story? Wasn't anywhere as bad though. Just some shitty scalper buying up all 4 and the TRU manager allowing it.
They still might be able to check out then if they linger in store till the last minute...

Used souls don't go for much in this market so don't expect to so much as a Diddy Kong amiibo for yours. Unless, of course, your soul was recently purified from a prior contract from the Holy Ghost, in which case, you may be able to get Meta Knight OR Shulk. Not both.

See, that's what I'm talking about, you have someone to help you out, just like I knew you would. It's all about worming together and helping each other.Thanks! You get the last avatar I'll ever make (not including ones for myself).

Too ridiculous.
And hey, I'm honored to be the recipient of your final avatar!
Hey, just a heads-up: if you can help out with my 7 Mega Man alt color project, I'd be incredibly grateful. Already have at least one lead on this, so any more would be great, for retail + shipping or a possible trade. It's gonna be a daunting task, but I'm really looking forward to the results! Even if you get your hands on extra yourself, PM or reply. Or, if you could help spread the word, it'd mean a lot. Thanks!
I may or may NOT have been visited by God last night.
Soul might be worth more than usual...

I'd be pissed too, but I don't know if I would try to get someone to lose their job over it.

If you could help me with 1 of 7 Mega Man amiibos I'm hunting for, you'll have my eyes out around here for an extra of either, rest assured.I feel like a jerk asking but can someone be on the lookout for Rosalina and Shulk for me?

Hm I don't see mine at my front door... should I be worried?
I asked in person and my local store is has 28 Rosalina with a one per person limit. I like them chances yo!
I agree I told them my 2 cents but thats all I can really do...
That's what I said to the sales clerk, and he agreed that it was stupid. But that particular store hasn't ordered in any more Amiibo, as they have a giant bin that's filled with Mario figurines that no one is buying. It's a weird situation, but it doesn't bother me in the slightest. I'm going to do my business with EB Games and through online retailers, as it's almost impossible to get any of the new Amiibo figurines though local retailers.
