Just read your PM, and that it does! Buta Shaman King name would definitely better suit your avatar, so it makes sense you'd want to change it!

Yeah as you might guess from what I said nobody has ever figured out the symbolism behind my username without me going into at least that much detail lol.

Just called gamestop corp store and ordered an extra Shulk. They have them to order, online only.

Says it's not available still? Or am I misreading this in my sleepless caffeine addled state.

I've written so much the last week and a half I have become a lurker rather than a poster, hahaha.

Dude, I just called the 800 number, spoke to someone in Costa Rica and he ordered it for me. I even got the email confirmation.
 
I was checking on my She-hulk and the guy said that my gamestop should get it in tomorrow. Then he said I can cancel it and order you one here. I told him NO, don't cancel it, but can you get me another? He said yup, got my info and I got the email confirmation.

Shulk amiibo Figure - GameStop Exclusive 1

I sh*t you not, I called 8:30 central time.

I call pants on fire thats nuts.
 
I ordered 1 of each from the Super Mario line barring Mario and Toad since I figure I'll just pick up the pack-in versions for Treasure Tracker and the new Mario Party when they come out.

(yes I get the JP ver. of games)
 
Wow...

I feel lucky I got my Toad, Peach, and Luigi in just for free shipping and I had GCU discount to boot. Only about $33 with tax included for the total. Cancelling from Gamestop.com was a little unusual but I managed to cancel it no problem.

And this is with the 1 per figure rule in place lol.
 
My Rosalina and Meta Knight I imported from Japan have been "Dispatched from Japan" since Jan 29. Shipping speed was SAL (registered) and I feel like they should have made it to America already at this point. The amiibo I ordered on N-Y already got here with SAL and that shipped out later than the Rosa/MK order did.

Should I be worried? Don't have a lot of SAL experience other than that previous SAL orders were faster than this :/
 
Posted this in the canadian thread, but international Amiibros can weigh in too. Do you guys nickname your Amiibos, or keep it relatively the same.

Some of my better ones have been Happy Feet the DDD, and Mr. M the Little Mac.

Damn, that sucks. Your Brock avatar's expression is perfect for this scenario. When I ordered the Trinity off if Amazon.de, it definitely took around a month to get. Log into your account on Amazon.fr, check your order details, and look for the estimated delivery date. If it's way off, call 'em up.


Geedorah's avatar: also the perfect expression for you, it seems!

Another day, still no Amazon.fr package... It was scheduled to arrive on Jan 29th, so there has been more than enough time for it to clear customs.

Gonna brush up on my Google Translate tomorrow :/ Just going to ask for a refund if I can since I have backups.

When I get around to it, I'm customizing my Capt. Falcon so he has his pink and white colors with the nick name "Captain Love"

No, you shouldn't be. It hasn't even been two weeks yet. Give it at least three before you start to question it.

Oh nicknames all day. Some choice ones:

Little Mac: Side+B
Marth: Morth
DK: ExpandDong
 
I don't care to get the SMB amiibo except Toad, but only hearing about it going up on Best Buy after it selling out doesn't give much hope for wave 4 preorders.
 
I'm pretty much thinking I'm done with Amiibos mostly. I might pick up one or two, here and there, but I'm not going out of my way to get anything.

Anyone willing to make a trade for a loose Shulk, by any chance? I've got the following loose...

Wii Fit Trainer
Marth
Villager

Just throwing that out there.

Alright. I'm just impatient and paranoid is all :p

That and I really want Rosalina and Meta Knight out of the way given how hard they are (or will be in MK's case) to find.

Company store reps never know a damn thing. A friend who once managed a GameStop would tell me every few months that the MS rep said Bungie was working on a new Marathon game for Xbox 360.
Click to expand...

Too be fair, Bungie has sort of had a Marathon game in mind since at least 2010 or so and they probably had some rough plans for a 360 title at some point. :P

Not that he wasn't full of shit either way, lol
 
i was sleeping when I got my shulk txt from gamestop, too late to call them when I got up.

So the txt just says it is available Weds "PM" with no time

Anyone have experience with this?

If I go in there right when they open at 10am, I could be too early? Has to be after 12pm or what?

Seems odd that they would let me know I can pick it up after 12 and not when they are open. I mean what if there is a delay or the shipment somehow never comes? they'd have a ton of pissed off people.

It's saying it will be in tomorrow's shipment which will be unpacked after noon
 
Going to be lined up at TRU on Friday hoping to get a Mega Man and or Ike. Hope I can at least get Mega Man. I'd rather get it out of the way so I don't have to travel around in a hurry on the 20th.

Should I be heading straight to the electronics section for the shelves or their desk? I don't have a pre-order.

If you don't have a pre-order, go to the shelf. The only thing they'll have at the electronics desk is the pre-orders.

Hopefully whatever extras they have will be there waiting for you!

That usually means they are expecting a delivery sometime during the day. My local store usually gets shipments between 12PM-2PM and they open at 10AM.

Hope so! Just hope our TRU has enforced some sort of policy to combat scalpers. Seems like most GameStops have.
