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

Went to four different targets looking for Rosalina's here in Florida around 2PM (late I know, but it was the soonest I could manage) and not one in site. I stopped by a Best Buy, Toys R Us and a couple gGamestops hoping for a Sheik, Toon Link or Ike so the day wouldn't be a total bust, but alas, nothing ; ; The selection at the stores around me is pretty scarce, sadly. I really hope I can come across an Ike and a Marth reprint somehow in time to use them in Codename Steam. I'll be surely pre-ordering Lucina and Robin at the earliest opportunity!
Wowzers, that case is great! mind if I ask what store it was you got it at for that price? :3

Yeah. That pretty much sums it up. And she was like I asked where she was first? No one in front of me did so I deserve one. And I'm like.. Dude we just got to the counter and was about to ask. You shouted from a mile away -_-
Uh what the fuck about Dede, Ike, Mega Man and Sonic. So are we going to have no stock the rest of Wave 3!? What a mess.

Don't pass gaas, it is your Destiny!
I've never really bought figurines before. What am I doing...
Commit to it! Open them, then you can't turn back!!!!
Just got back from Target, I experienced the true struggle.
Thanks, M&M of America. Way to understock such a desired product! Pull your heads out of your asses for once why don't you.
They have plenty in stock of Birthday Cake M&Ms. And they certainly taste better and look better than Crispy M&Ms. But because of M&M of America's artificial scarcity bullshit Crispy M&Ms seem more appealing.
I'd be all over that even if it did mean I would be double dipping on Kirby.
Also I really hope we see a Bandana Dee Amiibo soon.

I'm wondering if they really will be restocked april 1 or it was just a mix up and meant feb 1. Not having the rest in store also isn't a good sign at all for the rest of this wave

Ordered. Thanks! That works out to about $36.00 Canadian since our dollar is so crummy, but at least I don't have to stress over this anymore. Hopefully Wario is more common.
Sent you a PM
What the hell are you talking about, Crispy M&M´s are the greatest of all time, they are worth at least $20 bucks more than retail price, that is why I bought all 24 bags of Crispy M&M´s and I´m setting up my ebay page right now, I´ll also consider trading for Surge or Vanilla Coke.

Yeah, I wondered if that might be a mistake. Not stocking the rest of wave 3 doesn't bode well for wave 4 and beyond either, and wave 4 already has me worried about where I can secure preorders.

No problem! They also have all of Wave 4 in stock plus Lucario and Rosaluma, but all their prices are kinda scummy. But they occasionally have rarer ones at near MSRP. They had WFT at $16 plus shipping for the longest time.

Pffft. Peanut M&M's are where it's at.
---------------------
I take it preordering Wave 4 is still impossible in NA? I just want Lucina and Charizard. Maybe Wario and Robin.
Oh sweet, Thanks! Those acrylic stairs look great and are pretty cheap, I might just pick that up... now to get enough of an amiibo collection going to make use of them
They look so nice together.
Makes me want to buy them all.

Nin-Nin has terrible policies. And they can be slow. Just be careful. Have 3 orders from them and have decided to make them a last resort only.
Always do Amazon international or hell even Play Asia (although they cost too much sometimes).
Crispy M&Ms are compatible with just themselves. Birthday Cake M&Ms, however, have cross-food compatibility with popcorn and thus are superior.

I don't mind waiting as long as it shows up at some point. After hearing that Toys 'R' Us isn't even going to be stocking Dedede, I'm not taking any risks. I'm going to have to bite the bullet and pre-order Wario so I don't have to deal with this crap again.
Play-Asia is out of stock, and their prices aren't any better. I usually check Amazon first, but they've been completely wiped out. :-/

Looking at Ikea's website I can buy the exact same one here in Australia. $129 here though.

Where do you see AMAZON prime and quixk shipping?
What are you talking about? Crispy M&Ms don´t need to be compatible to be superior. if you can´t be great by yourself then you are worth nothing, NOTHING.
Came to post this. Here's the supposed doc:

Hold up! They have Birthday Cake flavored M&Ms. What is this devilry?
My TRU had a sign out just saying it was delayed, but still coming. When did this change?

So I got myself Zelda today at Toys R Us today, and the clerk told me that all of wave 3 except maybe Mega Man and Sonic is supposed to arrive on the 6th. This is for Canada.
Also did anyone else get a delivery estimate for Ike on Amazon Canada? It's supposed to be coming between the 24th to the 5th of March for me but I'm not sure if I'll actually get it. I might call Toys R Us on the 6th to see if they can put an Ike on hold.

Seems legit. No real reason to mention POG unless it was a store memo anyways.
Makes sense. Sounds like the first batch of online orders will go out Mon or something, since they have an estimated delivery of the end of the week. My order had to be redone and ebay orders are sevond priority as well. Shipping on the 4th would prob have them here by next week.
Slow and steady, but becoming a reality

I really think next time I make it out to my nearest Ikea I'm going to have to get a couple of those Detolf cabinets. I have so much stuff that I can't properly display right now. I'd have to figure where I can find space for them first, though, lol.
Was for me 2 days ago. On phone now. Maybe they switched it. If so, sorry.

Probably would be more mad about not getting any restocks.
I'm sure Target would love to get more Rosalina a couple times a month for a few months.
Meh, Germany (and the rest of Europe?) launches Megaman, Shulk, Metaknight ... at the 20. Feb, if I'm not mistaken. Amiibo paradise my ass.
Are there any close ups of Megaman? Maybe even an unboxing video?
Yep. Which sucks because Australia got Mega Man and Sonic already. These are the only two I need to finish Wave 3 and yet I have no idea when they are even out or if we will even get stock. I'm not hopeful with the Ike/Dede Sheik stock being bad.

Oh God. You just caused me to imagine Amiibo distribution in random booster packs. *shudder*
Mega Man looks amazing IMO.
Also I'll never stop being jelly of you. All amiibos on ONE date. No hassle. Want Sonic, Shulk and Mega Man in my display nooooow.
Ugh I hate this exclusive shit in the US and all these random release dates. I want all of them today.I've never really bought figurines before. What am I doing...

Amiibo cards were and idea they've floated in interviews.... perfect chance to show how much they truly hate gaf.

I really doubt that TRU would not carry Dedede and the rest of wave 3 when they've already taken a bunch of in-store preorders for them.
U.S. is shit for Amiibos. Aus got all of Wave 3 on Jan 29th. One date. No hassle. Germany you can walk into stores and find walls of all amiibos with good stock.
Prob going to ONLY import from Amazon international for future waves. Done with NoA shenanigans.

Need some help Gaf. I ended up getting an extra Rosalina. What to do with it? I don't need 2. I really wish I had a Metaknight in its place, lol

I meant no stock to put on the shelves. They'll only have enough to fulfill pre-orders, if this document is to be believed. Considering how the amiibo situation has been handled so far, I don't doubt it for a second.
Plenty of people here who weren't able to get it I think.
