Thanks, got dates mixed up. I have both of them reserved there and wanted to make sure. Guess I'll hunt for Rosalina until then.
Amiibo Thread 3 | Where release dates are made up and preorders don't matter!

It's possible. They might start stocking her tomorrow morning as well. I've noticed I'll check my Target about 1/2 hour after they open & they're still opening boxes up of stock.
Varies by location, I'd assume.
Haha I wish. Don't have that much time outside weekends.Are you volunteering?
Seriously though, nice job on these... I love them
That is cruel and unusual
well played
Thank you ^^
How's this? I took out Horizon's name to spare him of the continued torture. It's animated btw
Nice. Did Beatofficer ever reply with more info?

Call the store and have them look up that number on the register merch locate function.
I think SalvaPot mentioned that BrickSeek lookup might not show anything until the actual release date.

7/11 Here!
Waiting for my in store EB Games preorder for Sonic and Mega Man, Future Shop online order for Meta Knight and GameStop USA online order for Shulk.
Rosalina and Lucario will be on their way soon from fellow Amiibros here. =D

I was able to post a total of, I believe, 10 cities with all of the surrounding targets in that district. I had to build bikes today, after my lunch, I was not able to get anymore locations because I needed to fill up 19 holes in bikes, bikes usually take between 10 to 30 minutes depending on brand and style.

Comic is gold! Perfect facial expression choices for Reggie and Shibata.
Oh okay. Phew
Ahh alright. Thanks for trying though. Will have to debate which one to go to based on info I know then. Wish the Boca Park one would give a number. Maybe I'll try calling later.
That was beyond nice of you. People understand you did as much as you could. Very generous

Okay so called my 2 Targets. One said they aren't selling it to Monday and can't tell me how many they are getting in over the phone (gonna call tomorrow and speak to someone else I don't buy that). The other didn't have her showing up in their system at all. And thinks they might have her tomorrow.

Is there a reason you can't go at opening?
They will likely be gone just to be honest. Don't set yourself up to be disappointed.
So I tested removing the sticker under the amiibo with Bowser. I figured I'd at least try it once to see if it's worth it and if I want to try it with the rest of my Wave 3. Honestly, I don't think it is. I understand the appeal of keeping these in box but I want to play with them.
I'll still preserve the boxes because they look cool.

I have some pretty dumb questions. If these amiibo tournament giveaways happen, how would I go about streaming them so people could watch them?
I can't just hook up my Wii U to my laptop with an HDMI cable, can I? Is there any way that I could record with an iPad or iPhone and stream to YouTube or Twitch or anything? Would Skype work by just putting my laptop facing the TV? I feel like it would lose a lot of it's luster if people can't watch them and I just post the results in the thread.

Haha, we had the same idea.
You actually have talent, though!

If I was able to look them up on the backroom computers I would have been able to do a lot more, unfortunately it was only on registers and there were several cities I tried where the register would give me a blank screen instead of the inventories.
I...don't know what you're talking about~
I have 2 Targets near me as well. One says they might only have 1 or 2 for people who didn't pre-order, but they're unsure. The other says they might not even get them by tomorrow...so hope I'm lucky

Bullshit. We never took preorders on her.
You either need a capture device or maybe do something like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T30mW7Mja4s

Yep, it's why I'm not too worried about the face.
Rosalina on the other hand... <3
I will pay you to make a red one for my cousin if you're up to it.

Can confirm, never took preorders on the amiibo.
Also that person is wrong about Monday. They unlock in our system on the first to be sold.
that's odd...I'll be there an hour before anyways. Guy didn't even seem to know what they were at first so maybe that's that.
It's just not realistic thanks to some stuff. I do have an inside man at the one though, so that may help as well. But yeah, it'll depend on how bad the amiibo fever in the area is, but hopefully I'll be okay. Guess it also depends on how serious the stock is.

I WILL ENTER. Pls let me win, in desperate need of amiibo. I will even take common ones like Mario and Kirby
Here is my entry:
am I worthy?? ._.
Here is my suggestion:
---The Amiibo Badass Giveaway for Shy People and Rowdy Opportunist. By SalvaPot for SalvaPot, even if SalvaPot is not giving any amiibos away because he is a greed bastard.---
Rules:
Post a picture Amiibo related that is either witty, funny, traumatic, smart, amusing, or just downright wrong. It can be a photoshop of a picture that does not belong to you but you edit enough to be able to claim it as your own, it can be a photo of your collection in a funny position, it can be a picture of you in the toilet refreshing the Lucina Amiibo Amazon page, just waiting for the preorder to go up. Anything can do!
Prizes:
Dunno, ask the guys who are actually giving out Amiibos, I just want the fame and fortune. They are giving like a pit or something.
Conditions:
Don´t participate if you are pregnant, have a heart condition, or are just incredibly lazy. Well, you can participate if you ask nice enough, i won´t tell anyone.
Other arbitrary pointless rules:
King Dedede is the greatest amiibo, if you don´t agree don´t bother.

Edit: FUCK! First timeusing imgur and its not working!
I'M NOT WORTHY! NNNNOOO!!!!
try using this: http://i.imgur.com/DypJpUq.jpg
Or they sadly might be trying to hide them for themselves and friends. :/
Haha thanks. And looks like that will be the case.
That sucks. From the sounds of it, they won't even be on the display shelves. Wish they would be so then we can put the Elsa amiibos behind the Disney Infinity Elsas.
Your post before the fix was more win.

As in "Heathcliff"
Just show up at your store. Some people don't really know what they are talking about.

We've never done preorders for amiibos. They were giving you a quick half-ass answer.

Wave 3 (and all amiibo) hunting, in a nutshell
OK. Not really accurate since it's more about Gachas, but the talk about rarity is true.

So my Rosalina from Amazon France hasn't come in yet, was supposed to be here on Friday. Think I going to try my luck at Target tomorrow, and If I get it I'll just return the one from Amazon France.

Thanks. That fixed it. Using imgur has met me with a terrible fate today. Need to check all urls next time before trying. >_>
Edit: @Neo Dark: Well its archived via Josephl64's post.
I suspected as much, was going to be there anyways since I have nothing better to do on a sunday morning

As of tomorrow, these don't have to be on the shelves to buy them, if they're in the back, give them the dpci and have them pulled. If the team member is for some reason ignorant on the amiibo, just inform them and that it's a target exclusive. If they're being lazy, talk to someone else, that team member is supposed to "drive the vibe" and should physically look in the electronics stockroom for them or give backroom the dpci so they can pull it out.
Also, reading some of these horror stories is crazy to me. At my store, our electronics employees are educated as much as possible in new releases and product information for almost everything we carry back in electronics. Electronics team members are paid more because it is a specialized department that requires more knowledge than normal.

Yeah, I just called mine and gave them the item number. The guy said it was showing up as 0 atm, but to check back tomorrow--they may stock them overnight.
Fuck it. I'm gettin there at 7:30.
What's that? Did I hear amiibofying is needed?
Why are you not amiibofied yourself soldier?
Thanks for the heads up. What exactly does DPCI stand for anyways.
