Picked up my bowser and toon link today!
Now if only best buy would let me know when they are shipping meta knight, sonic and megaman.
Like no date or nothing? lol
 
Duck Hunt Dog to be exclusive to Pet Smart.

Dr. Mario to be exclusive at Walgreens.

Dark Pit to be exclusive at Hot Topic.
 
Let me tell you a little story about hope and woe:

>Christmas Day
My little brother gets a Kirby amiibo.
Dad: "I ordered you a Megaman one but it still hasn't shipped"
Me: "That's cause it's still preorder and ships in February"
Dad: "Oh... well that stinks"

>Present Day
"Good thing my dad ordered Megaman a while ago. Hmm... I wonder when it will ship. Let me just check his Amazon account."
*I can't find it in the orders*
"Maybe he ordered it on a different site? I'll just ask him"

Me: "So you ordered Megaman for me in December right?"
Dad: "Oh, I cancelled that cause it constantly said it was waiting to ship"
Me: "You did what?!?"
Dad: "It's fine. We can always just order them when they ship"

Maybe we'll get lucky & the FE characters will get reprinted when that new 3DS one comes out. Be like Codename Steam where scanning them puts them in your party.
 
Well the snow is piling up and I don't think I'll be able to make it to TRU tomorrow before a huge line up forms, so I doubt I'll get any amiibos tomorrow.
 
Lucina and Palutena is going to be insane. I can't even imagine.

FUCKING DAMNIT GUYS.

I have like 31 extra Peach Cards. Will ANYONE be willing to have ALL of them for just on Lucina Card? Please?

We all know its going to happen.
I can only imagine the jerks that will do this to all the lucina cards on video

We will all get Amazon Pandora instead
exclusive to only non-US Amazon.com
and be better off for it.
I'm not sure I like your definition of better off.

I've got a hair trigger yandere switch when it comes to my trifecta.
 
I regret not getting shulk and mega man, I collect finer quality figures so when I looked at these I thought the quality was trash. I would only get rare ones.
 
So still no word on wave 4 in the u.s., right?

Nope. My baseless speculation is that they want stores to get their Wave 3 stuff out before they start taking preorders, likely to not only make sure stores fulfill their part but to also give them time to start readying themselves for the next wave.

I'd say probably in March or April for all stores to start taking preorders. Skylanders also seems to have new things out around that time, and leading into Easter; these figures likely would be popular as items for parents to stick in kids easter baskets so if Nintendo is following trends, I'd say its a good bet that Wave 4 will start launching the week of easter, which is April 5th this year.

The heck is an FYE?
Stands for "For Your Entertainment". It's a store in malls here in the US that sells CDs, uh Video games and other pop culture things like ridiculously over priced Doctor Who and video game related merchandise and large cut outs of your favorite One Direction member.

All 4 FE characters in a limited edition Codename STEAM game?

The collective drooling...

NEW versions of the 4 FE characters in a limited edition Codename STEAM game?

aaaaand the amiiboards are down...
 
So I considered selling my Wave 1 & 2 on the Buy & Sell forum, but once I listed it I started regretting it to the point that I removed them. I started getting burnt out from running around trying to get them al,l F5ing websites late at night. I'm a Rosalina away from having all of them and I'll probably have to pay out the ass for her but I feel I need to continue. Nintendo of America just makes this situation so much more difficult then it needs to be. Jerks! Wish this was easier.

I feel like I've seen them in other states but I do not recall seeing them anywhere in the malls of the state where I'm at right now.

Sweet Jesus you're right!!!!
I shall not be denied my destiny!
such irony with Lucina trying to challenge fate lol
 
So a gamestop employee here said I'd be able to pick up my shulk this Tuesday. Has anyone else been told this? I thought he was the 13th

Gamestop doesn't have street dates for any of Wave 3. They can sell you the figures as soon as they get them, so if your store is gonna get Shulk on Tuesday you can buy him then.
 
As of right now, it really looks like GS will be getting most of their Wave 3 on the 13th; with the rest coming the following week on the 20th. Fairly sure this is 100%.

I wouldn't be surprised if other retailers will follow a similar pattern. Best thing you can do is check in with your local store, they should hold them no matter what if you have a preorder.
 
I think I'll wait for the phone call of "Pick up your stuff".

Too bad the manager at my gamestop said they won't be calling people due to the amount of people they'd be required to call for each amiibo pre ordered.

I think they should just call people who have amiibos pre ordered and not call for each amiibo that one person has pre ordered, if that makes sense.

Either way I'm gonna make my "game stop" on the 13th regardless.
