Support NeoGAF

[Neo Dark]

There is no such as card reservation for Rosalina Target. I shopped there all of times at few different locations. I never saw any reservation cards, and no one ever took picture of it in any last two threads.

I'm pretty sure that online store don't have any reservation feature since they are only shipping to your home location.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I think they want to keep Amiibo for themselves.

Nope. Pretty sure that's correct which is what I said. And I haven't been around amiibo GAF for a good chunk of the month. I really think you should go higher up until they sell it. That reservation crap is bs

 

[Kilau]

Well I'm assuming you weren't around for wave 3s start

Which I thought was today until about two weeks ago lol, Sheik was all gone before I realized what happened I guess.

 

[Fourth Storm]

As I was posting updates about my store some kid in front of me said "Let me see how Gaf's doing". He saw my post about the location and then he went up to every person asking who was from Gaf. I didn't admit to it because I didn't want to chat to be honest it was too cold lol

We must keep our Gaf membership a secret! If they don't know about this thread, I don't want them checking! lol

Actually, did you recently post that you're in Jersey? I think we're actually pretty close if I'm remembering right.

 

[OmegaFax]

There's 8 at my Target. Bought one and returned it when I got up to the front of the store. Not feeling it. Had scratched up my car backing out of the driveway getting here. I'm out.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Awesome. Good luck. If you do get it, a fellow amiibro would definitely appreciate it. (hopefully it won't have to be me haha. 2 hours left.. The suspense!)

That's the plan. No cost other than the price of the Amiibo and shipping of course.

Where's Rosalina, String? Where the **** is Rosalina!?

 

[StriKeVillain]

Were yours on the shelf? Ours were apparently in the back and by the time I found out Sheik was gone.

No, all of our Amiibo's were still packaged in shipping containers when we got there.

No problem


Go for store manager?

Personally I would have. I don't care if I would look like a fool but damn if someone was going to pull a hustle on me.

 

[dukie85]

I'd totally buy Rosalina from somebody.. no other way to get one :'(

 

[Magwik]

Fell asleep when I was up at 7 and now there's like an extra inch of snow outside ugh not feeling it

 

[Nocturn]

The scene outside Goldenrod Target in Central Florida at 7:40 this morning. Managed to make my way to Oviedo after, which got 50, and get a second one.

Central FL brother! Got mine at the Target in Davenport. They had 3 rosalinas when I left. Unsure about the rest. 5+ bowsers for sure.

 

[spyhunterzero]

That would almost make me want to hop back in the car and not be associated with the whole thing. :/ My wife was already giving me enough shit for getting up at 7am to go to Target for that purpose. When I texted her telling her there was a line....



Thanks man!

I got the last one

Also, my Target was doing a One Amiibo per person in line til it looped around and then you can get another one. Got two Rosas, one Toon Link and a Sheik.

 

[Cocaloch]

The target in Chicago's south loop only has Rosalina. No Toon Links or shieks which is really unfortunate.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Target's website is telling me that King Dedede is not sold in their brick-and-mortar stores. I thought it was supposed to be coming out today.

 

[Dr. Black Jack]

Got mine, there were 12-15 Rosalinas and 6ish each of the rest. My wife's store got 8 which sold out immediately. Limit 1 per person at my Target, thank God.

 

[dallow_bg]

Got 1 of each:

Bowser
Rosa
Sheik
Toon Link

 

[TheGrue]

Target's website is telling me that King Dedede is not sold in their brick-and-mortar stores. I thought it was supposed to be coming out today.

In the U.S., I believe he comes out mid-Feb.

 

[Futurevoid]

I got the last one

Awesome! I PM'd you.

 

[friskykillface]

if anyone wants to trade their Rosalina for my lucario

please pm me , would like it sealed

 

[Cormano]

Here at my local target at 8am, lots of resellers, people with 4 rosalinas, managed to get one, same with Bowser.

 

[Lizardus]

Anything from Wave 4 available in Canada yet?

 

[El Pescado]

Rumor was my Target got in like 44 Rosalina. There were 15 people in line outside the store in the 20 degree weather like 5 minutes before the store opened.

When it was opening time an employee came outside and told us that all the amiibo were at the front registers and there was a two per person per DCPI limit. They had Rosalina, Bowser, and Toon Link. Everyone filed in and purchased their amiibo without incident besides the one six year old that was livid that there was no Ike.

I went around the store and did some grocery shopping after I got my Rosalina and they still had a couple of each amiibo in the electronics department when I left.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

In the U.S., I believe he comes out mid-Feb.

I was under the impression that that was the case for most stores but Target was getting them today.

He's the only wave three I really want.

 

[Owari]

Well I just woke up. Ready to eat a fat bowl of French Toast Crunch then go Amiibo hunting. Is it worth it to check out Best Buy fer Meta Knight? Or should I just grab Rosie and come back home n pass out

 

[SuperCambot]

Scalper written all over him

It turns out he was alright so I deleted his picture.

 

[Vidiot]

So no where in the US had Sonic, Megaman, Ike, or Dedede today correct?

 

[Persona7]

I was under the impression that that was the case for most stores but Target was getting them today.

He's the only wave three I really want.

I am pretty sure Nintendo delayed them nationwide.

 

[El Pescado]

A Target employee told me they wouldn't have Dedede, Ike, Sonic, or Mega Man in store at all.

 

[digita1alchemy]

So what's the word on Best Buy? I still need Toon Link, is Best Buy holding any 3As for sale today? I am already out because of Rosalina, I wouldn't mind hanging out at Best Buy to get a Toon Link if I can.

 

[Neo Dark]

No, all of our Amiibo's were still packaged in shipping containers when we got there.



Personally I would have. I don't care if I would look like a fool but damn if someone was going to pull a hustle on me.

No. You wouldn't look like a fool. That idiot would. Probably would lose his job too. Would love to see him explain where these imaginary reservation cards came from.

Also I see most people are feeling satisfied. As a reminder from earlier, if you sadly couldn't get one, you should at least pick up some Rosalina chocolates

Spoiler

or at least pretend they are

to ease the pain until a fellow amiibro can help you out.

 

[Sponge]

But yeah guys, should I bother checking Gamestop today of an employee told me to try and ask about Shulk on the first?

 

[Nintendo Playstation]

After being 1st in the parking lot and 6th inside the buffer of the store entrance, I was 11th in line at the electronics boat. Everyone was civilized to begin with but clearly the line rearranged on the "walk" to the register. Thankfully, not everyone wanted all the new releases so I still managed to get Rosalina, Sheik and Toon Link. They were unboxing the shipping containers as we arrived. People were limited to one but nobody asked for more.

After the line of 12 people dissipated, I returned and pleaded kindly to the cashier to let me buy another Rosalina since everyone was able to get one.

Spoiler

It worked

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Rosalina is incredibly well stocked around the rest of the world, she's probably second most common to Bowser in wave three. I wouldn't worry too much people. I'm not sure why she was picked to be exclusive vs someone like Ike or Dedede.

Maybe in Germany.
Rosalina is the most rare of wave 3 in Spain. Worst than Little Mac in wave 2, and that was already a nightmare.

 

[georly]

Got to target 7:30 am, 5 people in line. By the time they opened at 8 there were 12. They had 12 amiibo! We all got one. Pretty happy. If you guys wanted rosalina, you should probably go as soon as they open, west coast.

 

[NogibTC]

Uuuugh.

Went to the Richfield MN Super Target and there were only like 4 other people in line at open. Went straight to the electronics section and they had a whole 4 Rosalinas. Since they come 8 to a pack I can only guess that the employees snatched up the rest. And they limited it to 2 amiibos total so one guy bought two and two other people got one and I walked away empty handed.

Can anyone help an amiibro out?

Heading out now :x

 

[Infernoabyss]

new york city, queens mall target. pure chaos.... that is all. at least i got one

 

[James Scott]

Hey, no Ike, Dedede, Sonic, meta knight? and megaman out today, right?

 

[Dominator]

We must keep our Gaf membership a secret! If they don't know about this thread, I don't want them checking! lol

Actually, did you recently post that you're in Jersey? I think we're actually pretty close if I'm remembering right.

Yup, thats me. Some others here in Jersey as well. I was at the store by Menlo Park Mall in Edison if you know it.

 

[Velcro Fly]

There are quite a few vendors selling Rosalina for $30 on Amazon and it's fulfilled by Amazon so shipping times will be quick. They are the Japanese versions though if people are worried about what the box looks like. Might be the next best thing for people who can't get one today.

Yeah, same thing happened at my store. I was the second person at the door outside, but fifth or sixth in line when they were handing them out. Thankfully they seemed to have gotten a good 20 or so, so it wasn't a big deal.

 

[D-Stubbs]

Trip to Target was a success!

 

[Balb]

A Target employee told me they wouldn't have Dedede, Ike, Sonic, or Mega Man in store at all.

That's strange. Sonic has more appeal than anyone in wave 3 by far from a mainstream perspective.

 

[Horohoro]

This is a real sign?

Yup.

 

[Gurrry]

So sonic isnt out at target yet right?

I did this since no Rosalina where i live. Haven't gotten her yet, but they said by the 4th

 

[georly]

Almost everyone in line was subscribed to some sort of amiibo-related notification thing, whether it be a website, something that texts you, or reddit. No one name-dropped neogaf.

We all walked to the counter in a civilized manner, but some dude, clearly a scalper (40s-50s, wearing a camo jacket, beard, etc) took another path to the electronics counter than the rest of us, and ran, beating out the person first in line. Fortunately, they had enough amiibo for everyone, or I would have called the dude out.

So sonic isnt out at target yet right?

Ours had rosalina, bowser, toon link, that's it.

 

[Horohoro]

Secured 3 Rosalina across 3 didferent Targets! One for myself, One for DeathbyBacklog, one for some lucky guy on the CisoR list.

 

[Danthrax]

With 5 minutes before store opening, I arrived at the desolate gas station. One fellow patron was in the parking lot, locked away inside his truck. His disinterested stare betrayed a glint of curiosity as I walked by; could he be wondering what I, too, was doing at this same facility so early in the day? I had no point or purpose to engage him in his query, though, for I had business to attend to, and apparently so did he because he drove off as soon as I went inside. So that plot thread went nowhere.

The mood turned into a noir as I slipped through the convenience store. I knew where the ATM was. I had never used it before, but still, there it was. Beckoning me. Requesting me. My fingers perched on top of the buttons. I danced its dance. The flight of numbers was making it dizzy but still I pressed. The frenzy of motion was too much for the machine. It begins to vomit cash. I collect my prize, my hands working too feverishly amongst the grain of pressable surfaces. Cash and receipt in hand, I move back out into the cold. Now only 4 minutes before Target's opening.

target takes debit, man

 

[fredrancour]

That's strange. Sonic has more appeal than anyone in wave 3 by far from a mainstream perspective.

It's probably the "too damn many SKUs" factor that has Nintendo doling things out in waves to begin with.

I got an import coming so not that worried. Honestly I stopped caring about the whole thing.
