I'm curious, were any Gaffers reading this at the St Louis Greatland Target in Brentwood this morning? There were 2 cool peeps and was hoping they were Gaffers
 
Anyone planning to do an amazon.de order anytime soon? I want a WFT but my dumb card never works there. Could always pay part of the shipping plus whatever it takes to get to me (I'm in the US).
 
I would have bought out my Target for you guys if I knew it would be so tough. Sorry folks.

I'll be checking for Sheik everyday this week, though.
 
I figured target would have their shit together. Take note TRU.

I expect Meta Knight to be like Rosa.

I'm not looking forward to see what Best Buy and GameStop would have done with their exclusive amiibo.

I hope mariotehpkumber is reading this, Rosalina isn't rare, fucking owned lol

Well, I thought he already admitted that he was trolling everyone and didn't have 100 Rosalina preordered. I'm not sure about it anymore tho.
 
It'd be awesome if everyone that wanted one got one and the scalpers keep buying more and more just to diminish stock... then they're stuck with twice as many as they had anyway.

it sucks that they can just return them within what ever a stores policy is

should state "if you buy 2 or more of said product, all sales final" :P

Hey your marth came in from Germany. You still need him right? Was going to send it out tomorrow. PM me your address if you still need him :)

Amazon.de was easy for me. No special card needed. But shipping was slow as hell!
 
I think the real story is what's supply going to be like two weeks from now.

back during wave 2 it really didn't look like Little Mac was going to be unicorn rare from the bunch.

what I believe is that Bowser and Rosalina will be rather easy to obtain because they belong to the Mario Universe.

now the bets are all on Lucario, Sheik and shulk out of this wave.
 
why does nintendo even deal with TRU? they are awful... holding back stock, selling every amiibo for 1 dollar more than MSRP... fucking shameful, they are basically authorized scalpers
 
yeah I am in Minneapolis and my closest target is the one on 77 and 66th in Richfield and they currently (as of 30 minutes ago) have 15 rosalinas on display and another box behind the counter...

maybe minnesota stores got more shipments tho because of hometown bias since target is headquartered here..

lol

I can't believe there's still 15 left for your area. I would expect everythjng to be gone by now.
 
Rosalina get! My store had 44 of them so they did a 2 per costumer limit, I got 4. Sadly, al of them had bends on the packaging. Really, All of them. I have enough for my buddies, so I´m fine, haha!

Now im waiting outside best buy, does anyone know if they got sheik?

My best buy had tons of Bowser, a decent amount of TL and 2 Sheik lol

They should have, but it seems to be agreed upon that Sheik is the one that will be hard to find everywhere.

I work for the Best Buy in Savannah, we got 2 Sheik, but they are for preorders. I checked other stores in our district, and 6 of them got absolutely none...but they're smaller stores.

Dunno, doesn't look good.

To go back to my point. Every Amiibo from Wave 2 and onwards is going to be uncommon. It's why I said we should at least calm down on the Amiibo speculation as there is no confirmation on Rosalina being rare. The good thing being is that Rosalina isn't rare, the bad thing being all of Wave 3 is hard to find/online only.

Toy companies love TRU for this.

Bowser is common as is Zelda, Luigi and Diddy.

Couldn't get a Toon Link or Shiek unfortunately. The line wasn't very long though, and they had security guards make sure things didn't get out of hand. From what I could tell, there were no scalpers around. (This was at the Target in Granada Hills, by the by)

They also only allowed one per person. I went with a friend, hence why my picture has two.

Hit me up on Tues, I wanna order a Villager and wrap up wave 1
 
Sweet, which one did you wind up going to?

I was a Vegas resident for 26 years before moving to KY last June. I lived 1.5 miles from and worked at the Craig/Clayton store (#1243) from 2003-2005 but it was closed permanently last year. My other closest stores were Deer Springs (215/N 5th), 215/N Decatur, and Sky Pointe (215/95N).

Glad to hear you guys got yours but I'm happy I didn't have to deal with line cutting or any other physical confrontation.

*Hides in a corner* Don't mind me

No worries, Amiibro/Amiigal!
 
Mornin' everyone. Glad to see the US neighbours getting their Rosalinas!

Gonna start looking into Marth and whether or not I should wait for this potential restock. I wonder if it'll be in time for Codename S.T.E.A.M. or if they'll push him out earlier / later on.
 
Dang this thread is moving quick...

Oh did they have a lot in stock? I might pop over then
 
Well...the list is getting smaller at least.
