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

Man, I'm shuddering to think what's gonna happen when ZSS amiibo is announced. I suspect she'll be much worse than Rosalina.

Also, for anyone that has a Rosalina shipped from target.com or Lucario from tru.com, do any of you tracking numbers work yet? None of mine still don't bring up any tracking info. Everything shipped yesterday.
Nope, my TRU tracking # still doesn't work :/

Edit: tried it through FedEx and it works there. Weird.
 
I just walked in the door and guess who was here to greet me!

I still think Palutena is going to be insane when it comes out.



I'm just messing around. :P

Well, I do dislike Elsa/Frozen quite a bit. But I love everyone. :D EVERYONE IS MUH FRIEND HERE.

Although I am starting to dislike Rosie. :*(

Quick. Go grab your Rosalina amiibo and hold onto her and get into a fetal position and think happy thoughts
 
Interesting. It would be nice if amazon's shipments are actually going out earlier than frickin' March.


Seriously. Unfortunately I canceled my Sheik amiibo thinking she would be common. Whelp. The only other amiibo I got is Megaman which has no date yet.

Oh man. To be fair, how could you know? It's insane to think that Sheik was pretty much sold out even Day 1 because they just didn't supply here barely.
 
Should we organize an AmiiboGAF 3DS/Wii U/Steam spreadsheet? I want some of you cool people on my friends list.

Maybe some of SwapNoteGAF out there could join in too. ;_;
 
Don't really know how to respond to this. Seems the only comeback is a "no u" so I feel like I should have just ignored it.
But honestly I'm just happy to be talking to people in this thread instead of crying over my bad amiibo luck. :3

Just sayin', the term doesn't make sense in the context you used it. A Mary Sue is an author or audience stand-in, generally as a form of wish fulfillment, which really doesn't work with Rosalina at all...

My tracking number for Rosalina works now. Ordered Sunday, shipped Monday, and the tracking info must have showed up sometime today.

My TRU orders gave FedEx tracking, despite the emails saying otherwise.
 
On Best Buy, you can select Mega Man and Sonic and do check stores for pick up. You can "pick up in 3-5 days" and add to cart and check out.

Surely that is BS RIGHT?

EDIT: Yep, it's BS. Can't actually add to cart. Should have known.
 
Of all my amiibo, I've only named 3 of them so far. Incidentally, all are my Day 1 purchases.

Villager -> Greg (couldn't fit Lestrade in there as well so just stuck with Greg)
Pikachu -> Gogglechu (I always go with the goggles when playing as Pikachu)
Fox -> Mulder (...self explanatory)
 
I tried to be more active in this community, but there's not many things that I can say about amiibos.. mine are either pre-ordered or stuck at customs, and I can't go amiibo hunting because nobody here is selling anything past wave 1.

Not sure why you would think an obscure character / costume from one Zelda game would be common.

Easily will be rare:
Sheik
King Dedede
Mr. Game and Watch
Duck Hunt Dog
Dark Pit
Falco
Ness
Rob

Probably won't actually be able to add it to the cart. I had this same thing happen with Little Mac back before he was released.

I'm still pretty bummed about missing Rosalina AGAIN on the Futureshop sale last night. I sent them an annoyed tweet and got a stupid canned response back. I'm legitimately pissed off at this point. Scalper fever has sucked all the fun out of this. :(
 
So Rosalina isn't even listed on Target's website anymore?

lol wow guess they really are done with her.

Yeah, hah. That memo was legit. ONE TIME ONLY. Anything past release date, and she no longer exists.

Target seems to just be done with Amiibos, given the shit supply. They are prob just over dealing with angry customers. So they are shifting to online only. You know, so they can sell the 10 or so they get nation wide. :P

You are right! I edited my post. They don't let you add to card. Should have known. Obviously they wouldn't have this. It's prob 100% sold out from online orders, and their orders are backed up.

Yeah, I just checked and my TRU orders are also with FedEx. Now I'm scared what I'm going to find when I open the packages, if they can't even tell you the right carrier they shipped with.

target.com still doesn't show anything.

Well I should clarify that I didn't think she would be Mario common, but common enough I could pop into TRU on release and get her like I did with Little Mac. I was wrong. I don't think anybody could have guessed she would be sold out on day one outside of hindsight bias.

Truthfully my interest in her wasn't great hence why I canceled. But her being now rare does make me more interested as a collector.

I'd think it would be on a store-by-store basis, but yeah I can't add any of them to my cart.
 
I keep checking my order status with Future Shop to see if I've been charged yet. It doesn't even make sense since the "release date" given to Rosalina is Friday and they don't charge till the day before it ships usually. :lol

I mean at this point, Best Buy prob long sold out of any stock they would have had. I imagine the pre-orders/and orders are backed up to hell. So whenever they do put these on sale, it will be a crap shoot if stores get extras.

I just need Mega Man and Sonic to finish my Wave 3. So I'm all on edge haha.

So happy I got Wave 4 all ttaken care of on Amazon UK. Won't have to do this shit ever again.

I can't wait for Dark Pit considering Pit alone is impossible to find. He's probably going to be Gamestop exclusive and get less stock than Shulk.

Anyone tried painting their Pit yet and passing it off as a Dark Pit?

I learned my lesson from captain falcon.
 
This thread moves so fast, I've had to resort to scrolling and looking mainly for posts with links, exclamation marks, and bold letters. :(
 
For people who got a shipping confirmation from TRU on their Lucario pre orders. Do your tracking numbers work? UPS.com says the number does not exist. I gave the standard 24 hours to see if it appears on their website and nothing.

Just use Find on your browser and put in Neo Dark. Got all the posts worth reading right there
I'm kidding. It really does get hard to catch up from time to time. I usually read the first few words of each post and if it interests me, I continue from there.
 
I learned my lesson from captain falcon.

Yeah I know. I failed my own system of approaching all amiibo as rare. At the time I canceled there seemed to be a consensus she would be around for at least a little while. Keep in mind this was at least a month ago, well before the wave 3 drama. I got Little Mac, Captain Falcon and Pit with no problem. I don't see Sheik popping up on Amazon again like all the others did. Hope I'm wrong though.
 
Can't seem to locate this mysterious Google DOC for trading so I'll post here. I have an extra Rosalina (US version) and an extra Sheik (US and EU Version). Looking to trade for US Villager which I want to open and/or US Capt Falcon which I want to keep sealed in plastic goodness. PM if you would like to trade.
 
Question to people whose order was cancelled and uncancelled about TRU:

Did you guys get charged for these? I'm very on top of my accounts and I don't see anything charged or pending. They usually do this once it ships but I haven't seen anything.

Chances are they'll post a charge, but maybe they're not because of the hot mess?

Anyone else having a similar situation?
 
CANADA AMIIBO UPDATE - FUTURE SHOP

My local Future Shop will have all of Wave 3 tomorrow including Meta Knight.

They did not know how many would be up for grabs for non-preorders as my store did preorders.

Will be trying to grab Mega Man and Meta Knight tomorrow. I have an online order for Meta Knight with Future Shop as a back up and an in store preorder for Mega Man at EB Games who haven't received Sonic and Mega Man yet.

Mind if you can tell us your location?
