You mean you didn't check out 5 seconds after they sent you that email? Then clearly it's your fault.

Seriously though, are you not using Nowinstock browser alerts?

I use those and refresh the various websites with my URLs. I was just posting it because I did an in-stock notification for Ike way before Wave 3 went live and it's silly for Amazon to tell you a third party seller has it. :P

Ahh I see. Didn't even notice the price. Well actually I did and for some reason it didn't register in my mind it was third party even though it should have. Probably because it was an Amazon email lol

Did you see my response to you guys earlier btw? http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=150829496&postcount=10367

I just bought two, I always buy amiibos in pairs since that way they ship it properly. I can always just sell the other one to a friend or at my store.

And yes Nintendo, you fucking win, I finally broke down and bought the Toad amiiibo, are you happy now?! And now I want Yoshi because he looks like a waiter and mario and luigi have badass poses that will look great next to each other and...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGRGRGGGG.

Glad I just bought two of them then.
I can't believe I even bought him. I don't even like toad.
Just afraid if I wait I'll want him later to complete the set then he'll be sold out lol
 
Makes me a bit nervous that there might be a big group of amiibo hunters at GameStop for the midnight 3DS release next week. I might have to go just in case they get my pre-orders in that day. Don't want any funny business.

I was actually planning on swinging by my 24-hour Wal-Mart that night anyway, just on the off chance that they might possibly have the Majora's Mask 3DS. I figure it's a long shot, but worth checking out. I didn't get a pre-order in, and GameStop already told me they absolutely positively will not have any other than pre-orders that night. I wasn't going to go at all.... but ..... the amiibos ....

I wouldn't be surprised if the amiibos came in at the same time. I mean if Nintendo is shipping thing to them, might as well put them in the same shipment and save a little bit of money.
 
Hello fellow members. I understand that we wish to move on from this subject, but I'm only just catching up on this now and would like to say my piece about this.

What an interesting fate... I'm sorry that things had to turn out like this, but I would also like to say thanks to you too. Although we didn't get a chance to speak with each other for long, I think you should know that I enjoyed our little PM chat. We would've been good friends on here had things gone differently, and I'm sure others would've continued to appreciate your presence, especially here at amiiboGAF. You will be fondly remembered. Thanks for stopping by!
 
Bah!! Just received emails from Target telling me my Ike, Sonic, King Dedede and Mega Man Amiibo have all been delayed. If you have orders at Target, beware!

New estimated delivery is between February 25th-March 13th.
 
walmart.com is taking preorders for toad and other super mario amiibos. I found a toon link for pick up at my local target, should I buy him now or wait till others get him in?

HA! Been thinking the same exact thing.
If you like the Zero games on the gameboy advance and have any sort of moderate interest in Shaman King checkout Master of Spirits 1 and 2 on the GBA both are wonderful clones of gameplay.
Click to expand...

They play like a mega man game? I'll definitely have to check those out. Probably no collection on a DS cart like the Zero games eh? Hehe
Hmm gameboy advance... I think I should have a DSi somewhere to play them on.

Thanks for the heads-up! Successfully ordered Toad, the only Mario series amiibo I want. I found this particularly funny:

How scandalous of you, Toad!
 
New Amiibos are available to pre-order in Dreamland (for Belgian posters). I ordered Sonic, Mega Man and SMB Luigi. Toad and Peach not available yet.

so, why is it relatively easy to find amiibo in Europe but not in Americas?
Click to expand...
Relatively at best. Exclusivities are an issue, but beside that, in most parts of Europe, it isn't probably much easier. For example, I never managed to find a Rosalina in France, be it online or in stores. I managed to grab the last one in a german online store, and I consider myself lucky.

Little Mac for sure

Indeed... Not even a contest. I'm happy I still bought the one I found despite the tiny paint defect (a small gray dot under the sleeve that can easily be corrected).
 
My Toon Link has just shipped out from amazon and is set to arrive Saturday. Had an estimated ship date of March, 2 until tonight.

I'm from Denmark, and I'm pretty sure it's because of low demand. I can quite easily find any amiibo I want in stores. Nintendo isn't really that big here. We don't have that many scalpers here either.
 
I'm sure this has been asked already, sorry if redundant, but since the UK orders for Wave 4 already happened this week, are we thinking US Amazon will do them soon as well? Was it pretty close the previous waves or were they spread apart?
 
Little late but I got toon link for my birthday!

Still no captain falcon :( giving up hope

If Im unable to get a Ness though I will be 100% done with amiibos forever. Also want Mega but not that bad.

Duckhunt, Game and Watch, Dr Mario, classic Wario being the other 4 I need that arent announced yet.
 
If only the last of the Smash line magically exist and include the "alternates", like Female Robin, Male WFT, maybe Pink-Haired Villager too. :(

I CAN DREAM :D
 
Has anyone managed to preorder Pacman, Lucina, Robin or Ness in the UK yet? The Nintendo UK store had them up for all of 5 minutes. Since then, nothing!

Managed to get a pre order of Pac-Man and Wario on the Game website for £15 each back last week or so.

All the others were up for a few minutes and were gone. And when I say minutes, I literally mean it.

Are people using stock alerts or something? How do you set them up?

Toad is available right now at walmart

Just in case Walmart stops taking preorders for Toad, AmiAmi just reopened their preorders on Toad, too.
CLICK HERE FOR TOAD!
This rest of the series, including the individual Mario, are also up for order.

Note: AmiAmi typically has imports so this most likely will be the Japanese packaging for those that care about your sealed amiibo.
 
Missed all the Pac-Man preorders it seems, but fuck waiting and refreshing for the one Amiibo I actually wanted. >=|
I managed to have Mega-Man preordered since December, yet Pac-Man preorders were nowhere in sight.

Not sure why a presale of some (non-guaranteed) pre-ordered products are able to be on sale on eBay. Then again, thats eBay for you.
 
Amazon just surprised me and shipped out my Toon Link. He was coming in March, to next week, now tomorrow (or maybe today depending on circumstance).

I could have gotten him in-store and cancelled my preorder but I got sick of store hopping and decided to just wait it out. I was prepared to wait until March but he's coming now, which is great.

Now if only I could get an estimate on my Ike and Megaman.
 
I think I've got every Amiibo from Wave 3 secured now. Shulk and Lucario are both on hold for me at a local store, and Ike and Toon Link ought to be arriving in the post next week. I have all the rest (except for a few from the first two waves).

...god, my wallet.
