Support NeoGAF

[Ignition365]

My BB order also says status unavailable for Sonic.

I need to make the time to get an avy.

Hey amiibros, been away from the thread for a few days due to a Vegas trip. What's the latest on Mega Man and Meta Knight in the US? My Amazon pre-order of Mega Man is still delayed indefinitely...

Mega seems to be on the 20th according to BB and Meta is not confirmed but rumored to be the 20th. Supply is also just speculation

 

[crimnos]

Also on the delayed Mega Man Amazon train I got in on him the moment he opened up on Amazon, too. Has to be soon, though, right?

Meta Knight seems to be coming out on the 20th.

 

[PadWarrior]

Amazon sent me my confirmation this morning that's he's shipping Friday to my house. Still nothing on my Meta Knight from Best Buy.

 

[PadWarrior]

GameStop will still be selling Mega, Shulk, and Ike on the 14th in the US right?

Shulk is showing at my house Thursday from Gamestop.

 

[pete_clarf]

Morning everyone!
So we're now at the beginning of NintenDOOM Week. All I see when I look at the sky is that evil ass moon grinning at me.

I don't know if I'm prepared for the bloodbath this Friday of people scrambling for amiibo and N3DS's.

Spoiler

I just peed a little

I wish I would have been able to get a MM 3DS XL in store. I have it shipping to me and I picked free shipping, so the ETA is 2/23. Maybe I'll get lucky and find one in a store and I can cancel my mail order... but I'll be stuck at work until 5:00, so that is highly unlikely.

 

[BGBW]

and Marth isn't that bad too and kinda liked Ike in PoR and RD...

I feel I should do the honourable thing I warn you that a Marth nendoroid was announced a few days ago which is almost definitely going to be of higher quality than the Amiibo and probably less of a headache to track down.

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

Amazon said I'm getting him Friday. I'm on the West Coast.

Gah. I take that to mean I'm never getting him from Amazon, then, since people with delayed Toon Link and Sonic pre-orders who never received emails never got their figures after other people received their emails.

Mega seems to be on the 20th according to BB and Meta is not confirmed but rumored to be the 20th. Supply is also just speculation

Meta Knight seems to be coming out on the 20th.

Cool, thanks. Looks like I'll have to hit up some Best Buys on the morning of the 20th and hope I get lucky, then...

 

[RobotVM]

First thing I am doing this morning is calling FYE to see if they have any Sonic Amiibo.

 

[rjinaz]

GameStop will still be selling Mega, Shulk, and Ike on the 14th in the US right?

Oh god. Is it the 13th or 14th? I have to drive in town a ways so I would really like to know

 

[StAidan]

Tracking just updated on my 2 Shulks from GameStop. Scheduled delivery is Wednesday! I'm excited, Shulk and Mega Man are my two most-desired amiibos.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Oh god. Is it the 13th or 14th? I have to drive in town a ways so I would really like to know

It's 13th.

 

[Maengun1]

The "estimated" date is the 13th, but there's no street date. As soon as stores receive their shipments they can put them out. I would check online/call frequently starting on the 11th or 12th

 

[rjinaz]

The 13th it is then. thanks

Hype! Amazon sent an email saying Megaman and Ike will be here friday!

If Nintendo really wanted some entertainment value, they's make Wave 4 available to preorder right at 8am CST this Friday.

 

[XpopcornX]

So are a lot of GameStops suddenly getting Shulks to sell on the show floor the day of release? I thought they were preorder only.

 

[SuperCambot]

When did that email arrive. Mine is still dormant.

Got the Mega Man one, I'm waiting on Ike and Dedede.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Looks like tomorrow, an update for SSB 3DS will be released that'll add amiibo support.

Coolness, I got the JPN version and a n3DS.
I will post what I get out of the update.

 

[prateeko]

So we still don't have word on when Shulk will come in for in-store preorders at GS?

 

[ColonelSkills]

Street date is this friday, the 13th.

 

[PadWarrior]

Godspeed lol.

 

[Zonic]

Just remember that some GS locations were told there's no street date for Shulk & co., so it's possible they might arrive Wed. or Thursday and sold the same day. I'd suggest checking every day from Tuesday onward.

 

[Vidiot]

8:35 am est

 

[Magwik]

Godspeed lol.

I was born on Firday the 13th and also the same exact day Tupac died. It's my time to shine.

Friday the 13. Shulk, you gotta to give me a good luck especially I just finished your game.

CANCELLING a MM 3DS XL!? Are you insane!!?
I'm sure someone here (cough, cough <<<<) would buy it from you at a fair price :]

They could at least do the honourable thing and hold on to your order if they get new stock.

Ouch!

Right, but are we actually on track to pick it up that day from stores or something inevitably going to go wrong again?

 

[RobFox64tm]

We should hear something within the next couple of days, probably via text. I don't think there will be much issue for in store or pick up at store pre-orders to be honest. I checked in with my store, and while they aren't sure of the exact day new Amiibos will be arriving, they reassured me that my pre-orders are pretty much safe. WIth Bowser, I don't think I received the pick up notification until about two days before hand.

 

[Danthrax]

Anyone tried FYE yet today?

 

[georly]

I just got an order update that he's shipping and should arrive friday the 13th.

Both, probably.

As of right now, that's the plan. To have ship-to-store pickups on the 13th.

Since it's par for the course and there's a tonne of BS going about, there will probably be some sort of new and exciting fuckup GS will manage to pull.

I'm waiting for the order cancellation emails to go out 15 minutes before the store opens on Friday.

Will only cancel if I'm lucky enough to find one in a store in the early evening hours on Friday. I'm assuming they'll all be long gone by then.

EDIT: If I somehow end up with two of them (like if I find one at a store, but am unable to cancel my mailed one), I will definitely sell to someone at cost + shipping! Probably around $225 or so.

GameStop told me they were not carrying it in store, where are you checking?

 

[Blue Namagem]

I know it's not amiibo-related, but holy crap, just found out that RadioShack has officially entered bankruptcy and is closing almost 2,000 stores. Here's the list, in case any local ones by any of you are on there:

http://radioshackcorporation.com/pdfs/RS-Store-Closure-List_020415.pdf

That really sucks. I feel really bad for all the people about to lose their jobs. It was never really a store I used to go to, but still a big relic of the past.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

If Amazon is shipping their Mega Mans, then I hope New Egg starts to ship soon.

I hope.

It is kinda sad, I guess...but it's over-priced stuff that you can get cheaper elsewhere. Both of the ones near me are closing.

Some are remaining open, and they'll be co-branded as Sprint RadioShack. So they aren't totally gone.

 

[kunonabi]

No email about mega man from amazon and they just notified me that theyre going ship my bowser separately. I dont like where this is headed.

 

[TheSlySoul]

If your credit card is charged, then it is too late to cancel ... at least that is what another poster said.

Yeah, I was reading about that. Amazon is supposedly looking into buying out some locations too, which is an interesting prospect.

Still, just as when Blockbuster went under, can't help but feel bad about it, even if the stuff they sold as of late wasn't that great.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Did Sonic's release date got changed for Best Buy yet?

Just watch, they'll announce something awesome for the new 3ds version of Xenoblade if you use your Shulk amiibo, and you'll have to play it all over again ;o

I'm not entirely sure about Xenoblade 3DS since I'm not interested to buy n3DS.

It's a very good game, I left most of the sidequest for the second time around when I did new game plus. I really liked the bit near the end when they are

Spoiler

stranded in the hologram of space and they all look at the earth and wonder just what the heck is it.

Here's looking forward to the sequel.

That's what I did. I'm more motivated to do side quests and hearts to hearts for second play through.

Spoiler

The ending was pretty fantastic, and I really love the final battle background even it can be distracting sometime.

Welcome to the xenoblade fanclub

Thank you! My body is ready for Xenoblade Chronicle X!

 

[pete_clarf]

GameStop told me they were not carrying it in store, where are you checking?

Nationally, I've seen that Target might get a few. There's also a few local stores around here (Omaha) that might get one or two as well.

 

[PadWarrior]

Amazon emailed and sent Ike is coming Friday as well! Gonna be a good week.
Monday: Extra Sheik, Lucario Sonic
Thursday: Shulk
Friday: Mega Man and Ike.
