A reddit post said most are stuck in NY due to the blizzard. One person had paid for tracking and it said delayed due to weather. Location NY

Ah, ok. Thanks for the info!

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.

TIL there was a Kirby cartoon.

 

[Beatofficer]

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.

So much of that dialogue is prophetic.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Anyone else pre-order Rainbow Curse at Toys R Us yet? what's the Kirby amiibo supplies there look like?

 

[prateeko]

Man, I feel like the second OT moved a lot quicker than the first one.

Thanks for the info. So do you already have yours or how does that work for Target? I think I read other store employees got first dibs on theirs or something early on?

Man, I feel like the second OT moved a lot quicker than the first one.

It most likely did since the hype started to build and the demand grew. This one seems to be moving fast too. We're 9 pages in in under 3 hours. That's 3 pages an hour. At this rate we'll be done in 133 hours or so or about 5 days.

Why is everyone so nitpicky about NA packaging?

 

[FaintDeftone]

So my plan is to get to Target right when they open and hope to snag Rosalina. I know my Target is getting 40 of them but I don't know if they are limiting one per person (I hope).

I can't wait outside because I will have to bring my 2 month old son with me and I refuse to have him out in the cold for long. If I can't get one right at 8am, then oh well.

 

[Zonic]

Man, I feel like the second OT moved a lot quicker than the first one.

Probably because of all the Wave 3 confusion & such. The retail exclusive crap with Lucario also contributed to it as well, I bet.

[melman101]

Just collectors wanting to collect a set. I don't want to open them, and so I like that they all have the same packaging.

 

[PadWarrior]

I have preordered Lucario, Meta Knight, and Shulk and no shipping updates on them yet.

Honestly depends on the employee and management in terms of first dibs. Some team members will hold items, I've had Co workers fired for stashing clearance items to wait for another price drop.

I'm personally not interested in Rosalina. I've only been getting characters that I like from games I like (Shulk, Ike, Marth, little Mac, captain Falcon are the current ones I have). I am buying one, however it's for someone on gaf that had some bad luck in getting one (I know that's going to be a lot of people and if I could I'd help everyone get one). I'll buy more if there's some available on Monday from people not picking up their holds since we can only hold for one day and I'll send those out to some other gaf people who have been unlucky.


Also, as a general target policy, team members can only purchase clearance or "hot items" while on break or off the clock after the store has been open, I think it was open for at least 15 minutes but I think that got changed.

 

[TheOmegaSpartan]

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.

Just picked up my Super Secret Exclusive Rosalina, today. Strange that she was all the way in the Disney aisle. These employees are a bunch of amateurs.

Any news on Lucario online orders. I have yet to hear anything about mine.

TRU are just a mess. Seriously, I had my fill of the Babies R Us branch when my daughter was born 2 years ago. They shipped me a broken rocking chair that the warehouse folks had actually stuck a sign on reading: "No bueno." No fucking bueno! And they shipped it. And then they gave us a hassle when we tried returning it.

My Amiibo experience with them has been cut from the same incompetent cloth. Cancelling/reinstating orders. They finally shipped my discounted Pit/Falcon, but when I look up "My Orders" online, those two still say "Items Located in Stock." They never updated the order status. Needless to say, Lucario has not shipped. Luckily, the couple guys in my local store seem more up to the task, and they fulfilled the other in-store pre-order I had--even swapping out the first Lucario for another when I pointed out a scuff mark on the blue Pokehead.

 

[Joei]

I like Rainbow Curse is gonna have Amiibo support, but you won't actually be able to buy the Amiibos it uses lol

 

[O.v.e.rlord]

Nothing on my online order yet either.

Sigh. I thought as much.

 

[Xamdou]

Can I get my Amiibo color scheme on the right side fixed if it's alright with you.

Ahh I see. Alright then. Hope whoever you're getting it for is very grateful.

Nice collection but what are you doing man? DON'T YOU SEE THAT'S A RARE AMIIBO? Notice that Luma is missing. You could have sold that for hundreds on ebay if you hadn't opened it. You totally messed up your chance of obtaining hundreds of dollars and your 5 minutes of fame.

 

[CaptainSchwann]

Thanks for the info. So do you already have yours or how does that work for Target? I think I read other store employees got first dibs on theirs or something early

I'll be lining up at mine like everyone else. The temptation was definitely there to put one on hold since I was the only one in electronics, but I don't want to get fired. Plus the way stock has been I want to make it as fair to other people coming out as possible.

 

[Renewed]

Would have been nice if I imported a Meta Knight. It's fine, I'm content with what I have.

Spoiler

Can you believe that? I sure as heck can't.

 

[Beatofficer]

Ahh I see. Alright then. Hope whoever you're getting it for is very grateful.

I feel like they are/have been. I had read a post of theirs that made me PM them and see if they wanted me to get one for them.

I love these amiibo but it makes me sad that I won't be buying another one until Lucina.

 

[OmegaFax]

Really like seeing other people's setups. Here's my collection so far

There's something oddly horrifying about Diddy's eyes in that second picture. Great collection. It's ... all of 'em so far? Something like 29? I want Sonic and Mega Man. Dedede doesn't look too bad either.

 

[Neo Dark]

Can I get my Amiibo color scheme on the right side fixed if it's alright with you.

Sure. Can you provide the original picture of the avatar? Just trying to change it by selecting the color comes out with a weird shape on the red part and doesn't look as nice.

EDIT: Nvm. I think I got it to cover up correctly. How's this?

Edit2: Oh wait.. did you mean you wanted to have all 6 amiibo colors?

 

[-Horizon-]

Hope wii fit trainer gets a reprint whenever marth does too.

Ugh, I'm being pulled in for more amiibos > <

 

[SalvaPot]

My collection so far!

Only Mario, Sheik, Lucario and Rosalina missing so far. I also have four boxed amiibos ready to be traded in case I´m not able to get a rare later on MUAJAJAJA.

HOW YOU LIKE ME NOW REGGIE.

 

[ShadowElliot]

I'm not planning on collecting all, but so far I have...

Mario, Link, Zelda, Captain Falcon, Pit, and Diddy Kong.

I have Toon Link and Sheik pre-ordered. I love Bowser, but I'm waiting for the Super Mario series Bowser since that one looks better than his Smash amiibo.

Did you touch up that Elsa? Mines dress is no where near that nice a blue

Nintendo should really start making more Amiibo. There is high demand, it's basically free money... It's not that hard.

I'm going for one Amiibo per month from now on. Mega Man in February, Toad in March and Ness in April.

After that we'll see what Nintendo announces for waves 5 to 10 or whatever. I just really hope I can get Ness.

Hahaha I didn't notice Diddy being such a creeper. Thanks I'm going for all the Smash Bros Amiibos. Mega Man is beautiful, might be one of my favourites. Dedede is surprisingly heavy and quite well done too.

 

[TheOmegaSpartan]

So I fiddling with the Inventory Checker searching for Rosalina (No dice on stock nearby). Then I was inputting all the rare amiibo and as expected, no stock, until... Little Mac. All Targets have no stock, except one, which has... 37. 37 FREAKING LITTLE MACS!

Store location and number to check/call for yourselves:
Philadelphia SE
1 Mifflin St Philadelphia PA 19148-2017
215-463-7311

And Little Mac's DCIP: 207-00-5015

Hope this turns out to be true and somewhat helpful for those searching. I already have one but just want to pass on the word.

 

[Mononoke]

Oh shit that was my fault. You were the ONE person I screwed up on and I realized that after the fact. But forgot who it was. I'm sorry. I accidentally coped the left side without realizing the colors were different. Derp.

These are the correct sparkles here I posted. I can dig out your original avatar and fix it, if you want.

Nope, not a bit. Although, I did buy my Elsa the day it released. Maybe the first editions had better quality?

 

[meitantei_conan]

So might be a dumb question but will target be getting any rosalina in Canada tomorrow? there were a few people saying that they will be getting shipments of them. But then nintendo came out with that press release thing. I already have her preordered on amazon but it would be nice to not have to wait.

 

[Ecto311]

Is lining up recommended at target in the US or just getting there at open enough to find a Rosalina? Heard we were getting more in the US since target canaduh is getting shut down and we get all the ones from up there.

Like seriously. Flood the market with amiibos pls!

Hmm, for me, the upcoming amiibos I NEED to get are:

Lucina (of course)
Palutena (yep)
Zero Suit Samus

The ones that I would be happy to get but I'll still survive if I miss:

Robin
Charizard
Greninja
Dark Pit
Ganondorf (maybe)

The ones I'll put off till the last minute:

Zelda (her hair fastener things look so dumb to me on the amiibo)

The ones I want reprints of:

Wii fit trainer
Shulk

[Blues1990]

A big thanks to kierwynn, as she has shipped her Pit Amiibo to me, and I'm anticipating it's arrival.

Now I'm trying my best to find a Meta Knight Amiibo. Are there any online stores that are still selling this, regardless of region?
