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

Just got my Mega Man and Ike from Amazon (US)! Both look pretty good. The yellow paint on Mega Man's cannon is a little off center, and there's a speck of silver paint on Ike's cape, but neither is too noticeable.

When did you order your Ike? Mine was ordered on 11/24. Still waiting on an update on my order.
 
My way of protesting the treatment of Amiibros by other Amiibros. Lurkers can bash on us and we'll back each other up, but when Amiibros join in on bashing, that's not cool. Some people forgot or don't even know who started the Amiibofied avatars and have forgotten what it means to be amiibro. I thought we were supposed to represent comradree, community, and non-Johns, but some wear it without knowing that. Just left a very bad taste in my mouth and I couldnt believe some of the regulars were joining in.

I understand that.

Another confirmation this indeed works! Had a friend that missed out yesterday go try it himself. GameStop is obviously holding back stock of these things as they tend to do with their exclusives. 8<

Shulk is now available at Gamestop for web in-store pre-orders. I just managed to buy one at my local Gamestop. Have to pay up front but it ships in May. Estimated delivery may 11th thru May 18th.

That could make sense with what my manager told me yesterday. He told me that they are going to re-release Shulk Amiibo when we are getting Xenoblade 3DS or something like that.

I thought he was misinformed but it seem that it's possible that it could happens.
 
I'm pretty sure they will both be fairly common, just really hard to find at first.

I wouldn't be surprised if they dry up very quickly.

I'm sure the licensing deal for third party Amiibos will restrict future production and sales of Mega Man, Sonic, and Pac-Man. Whereas any first party Amiibo could be reprinted down the line, third parties will remain limited to the initial runs.
 
So how exactly does the WIS Shulk pre-order work? Do I just walk in and ask if I can pre-order him for May or...? I'm just kinda confused about this whole ordeal, sorry.

I just went in and asked if they were taking orders. They knew exactly what I was talking about because they said they received an e-mail informing them that this was now available.

Say this:
"Hi, I'd like to place a Web In Store order for the Shulk amiibo."
If they don't know what you're talking about, ask them to check the Web In Store homepage, because you know other people have already ordered, and you wanted to as well, since they're set to ship in May

I thought it might be related to that. A lot of that happened while I was away but it really is too bad. If it makes you feel any better, just know a lot of us are still amiibros. Just the other day TheWorthyEdge went through A LOT of complications with Nintendo just to get me enough Club Nintendo coins so I could get the Majora's Mask messenger bag. Shout out to WorthyEdge, thanks buddy!

Congratulations! Glad you got so many of the amiibos you needed!

What a coincidence! I was just giving a shout out to you! Glad Pit got there safely, enjoy him! I will definitely enjoy my bag! I plan on putting all my 3DS stuff in it! Just need to get one of those Majora's Mask pins to really jazz it up lol

I don't mean to be nosy, but what actually happened? I've been pretty frequent here, but I may be missing something.
is it the Mono/Lucina thing...?

For what it's worth, in the time I've been on this thread, I've been very pleasantly surprised and happy with this community. The people who I've interacted with more often, like Worthy, greenwolfe, you, superNESjoe, Draconestra, etc, you all have been so cool and great to talk to, so the thought of anything bad here kinda disappoints me.

I hope any bad things happening just dissolve and we can get back to just being a good, helpful community. No drama, just a good place to talk about amiibos, trades, and whatever else.
 
Wish I knew about the WiS Shulk thing earlier today. Spent like 30 minutes just chatting to the guy in a gamestop about shulk and amiibos and would have put an order in. Could go out again now or just wait till tomorrow when I'm checking TRU again.

Ah! I get it now. Thanks a lot, guys. I'll be sure to go out and do this today. I really wanna get my hands on Monado Boy.
 
Probably a little OT, but any suggestions for games for New 3DS purchasers? I'm planning on getting Super Mario 3D Land tomorrow if I'm able to score a system (whether MM or a Black one). I'm going to get Link Between Worlds when I'm done with that, and then NSMB2 (I really enjoy the first one and the Wii one). Not sure on what games after that. Probably MM when all that's done. I really enjoyed the 3DS Kirby demo (never played a Kirby game before) so maybe that. And I'll probably grab Xenoblade when that comes out since I never played it. Speaking of which (to keep this semi-on topic, lol) what does the Shulk Amiibo do again? Any other recommendations?
 
This Shulk news is really heartening. Gonna make a stop after work to preorder one. Sucks that I'll have to wait a few months, but at least I'll get one at all.

It gives you credits in the game that you can redeem to unlock soundtrack songs and viewable 3D models. You can get those credits through other means, too, like StreetPass hits.

As for game suggestions ... Pokémon?
 
TRU employee here:

We got 1 megaman extra than preorders
No extra IKE other than preorders
5 more than preorders for Sonic
1 more than preorder for D3

So if you are planning on getting them at TRU tomorrow try and get there early I guess
 
Guys, help. I don't think I'm going to make it to Toys R Us at lunch tomorrow, but Target opens at 8am. Are they getting the new ones tomorrow?
 
When is GameStop supposed to be getting Dedede in? Him and Meta Knight are the only Wave 3s I don't have now.
Sometime next week. He, Ike, Sonic, and Megaman are scheduled for 2/20 but stores will likely be getting them a few days early if Shulk, TL, Sheik were any indication.

Just keep up with this thread and you'll know when. :p
 
Shulk and Sheik came in today! Still waiting on Sonic, Mega Man, and Meta Knight. Had to cancel my King Dedede and Ike orders though. I guess I'll try to find them later in the year hopefully. Still have to get Mario and Peach from wave 1 and I wish I could find Rosalina and Lucario at a decent price. I have too many of these things!
