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

Finally was able to get out and do some Amiibo hunting today. For my fellow Michigan ammibros near Dearborn and haven't found a Shrik or Toon Link, hit up the TRU. They had 10-12 each. I could only grab one of each but they all looked like they were in pretty good condition. That was the most I saw of them today though Sheik was plentiful, being at most places I went to. Toon Link was only at two more locations (another TRU and 2 at a Target). Also finally grabbed a Yoshi for $10 at GameStop. Didn't find anything else sadly.

I have Ike reserved at GameStop and they're fairly sure they'll be getting some extras. I'll be trying to get one for a bro of mine but I'll try my best to snag another for someone here. Can't promise anything but I'll try.
 
I may end up with an extra if my best buy order comes through...I'll let you know! I can't seem to find DDD ANYWHERE...not even craigslist...

I appreciate that! Supposedly on TRU got him yesterday. I'm hoping GS has extras when I pick up Megaman and Ike or Target gets them. Will probably have to wake up early for him like I did with Rosalina.
 
Posted in the leak thread.

Does anyone take preorders for these things? Haven't really been interested in amiibos, but I really want a Lucina, I don't care if it's from Japan either, as long as the price is somewhere near retail.

Pre-orders for Lucina and the rest of wave 4 have only begun on amazon.co.uk. They are closed now, of course.

If you want to ensure you get something set up a nowinstock.net account. You can set up text or e-mail alerts on whatever you want from there.
 
Sucks I keep missing Ike.

If anyone is willing to trade an Ike or Dedede for either a Lucario or Mega Man, let me know.

I'm still hoping I'll run into them over the next few weeks, but who knows.
 
So my girlfriend and I went hiking east of Seattle today...afterwards, we stopped in a small town called North Bend. I saw a toys r us and figured, why not give it a shot...

"This store doesn't carry amiibos." Sigh :(

And worst of all, when we were leaving the parking lot, I looked to my left and saw a giant gated facility with a huge Nintendo logo on it . . .

Nintendo North Bend is the main North American production facility and one of the distribution centers for the video game console manufacturer Nintendo, located in North Bend, Washington

HNNNNNNNNNNGHHHHHHHH

edit: dedede was available on target.com today, wasn't he :( go figure the one time I'm not on a computer...

Don't believe so. I've been checking all day and I've got page alerts setup in case he goes live. I think people said Ike went live a few times.

Ike was up on target.com around an hour ago for an amount of time not exceeding the amount of time it takes me to type in my credit card number :(.
 
Man, just need:

Ness
Duck hunt Dog
Mewtwo
Dr Mario
(Classic) Wario
Greninja

And I'm done. Assuming they are making one for each smash character and each Mario party character.
 
Picked up Toon Link from GS today.

All appears good except the tip of his hat, where there seems to be a spec of paint missing, or just a white spec of (maybe cotton/dust) of sorts. I'm hoping it's the latter.

I haven't opened any of my Amiibo yet in hopes that PDP or someone will produce some individual display cases for them, as they did with the Disney Infinity figures.
 
I can't believe it. I was at home, sitting staring mindlessly while my wife watched Grey's Anatomy. My phone, which normally gives me a notification when I get an email within a minute of it arriving in my inbox, didn't give me a notification until over an hour after I got the in stock alert email for Ike.

Naturally he was sold out.

So frustrated that I was sitting right here doing nothing, completely available to hop on my computer and order one real quick, and my stupid phone just didn't get this email in particular until an hour later.

I'll be watching for Mega Man and Dedede now.
 
The main problem with Ike on target.com; it isn't limited. That is the reason why he is gone within a minute of coming up. You can add as many to your cart as you want and check out.
 
Its been awhile since I've checked this thread. So what is the word on Mega Man and Sonic? Are they both rare? Anyone have them in stock? Still haven't seen them in the wild yet.
 
Gaf I have no Amiibo's but... I have a goal to get one rare figure.

I think I will have to go with the next wave but, does anyone know the best place to pre-order and when?

The best place IMO to pre order would be Gamestop In store , they have been very reliable from my experience and from what i have observed they have been reliable to others.Not only do they usually get the figures on time but they actually honor the pre order hold for at least 48 hours.

As for when no one knows other than speculation , pre orders might come on later this month but there is no source to indicate when.
