that's right! I actually sent them a msg through ebay and they seemed to indicate it would be 2/1... we'll see what happens.

I'll give them another week then go to PayPal to get my money back and slap them with a negative feedback.

 

[Mononoke]

Thanks, i've never used the in-store pre-order thing before so I don't know how it works.

Yeah. In there computer it would show zero dollars down. If you ever do online pre order pick up in store, you need to go down to the store with your order printed out and put some money down to make sure they have it squared away.

 

[Nori Chan]

So Cal here. Wish you luck dude. My plan was to go 2 hours early with my fiancé. I already have 2 Rosalina but was going to go to get extras for anyone here.

But I might stay in. Seems like most people have one or don't need it.

What parts of So Cal?

I'm just short of Anaheim myself

 

[Xamdou]

Yeah. Reddit has used Nin-Nin for past waves and they are legit. They just have shit customer service. Bad policies. And are slow as hell shipping. Nin-Nin should only be a last resort. Or a single back up plan.

Ah aight then... I'd rather have Rosalina sooner or later!

Good luck tomorrow for those brave gaffers venturing tomorrow at Target for Rosalina!

 

[Meeps]

I have an extra Rosalina that isn't for my fiancé or the contest. Want it if you can't get one tomorrow? I'd ship up North and for free. Don't pay Nin Nin

Lmao yes we are totally a team like that muahah

Mononoke - Did you get my PM earlier? I know you were probably swamped with the giveaway/contest stuff, so no worries.

 

[Ignition365]

Overeacting was the conversation I had with my wife earlier.

I absolutely feel this should be a crime. Im not necessarily saying these people should be drawn and quartered... but I feel that way... Im saying there should be fines and punishments for these people. You know these people aren't claiming the humongous sales of these products on their taxes... you know they are still collecting their welfare and unemployment checks... im just saying.

 

[Interface23]

Yeah. In there computer it would show zero dollars down. If you ever do online pre order pick up in store, you need to go down to the store with your order printed out and put some money down to make sure they have it squared away.

Pretty much or some poor associate boy will call you once and if you don't answer he will cancel your order and then catch hell for it later

I <3 my company...

 

[Curler]

Let's get our running shoes on guys!

 

[Maengun1]

Do we know if Brickseek is reliable yet for Rosalinas? Just checked her DPCI with my store and it's "not in stock" still. But then, it's not tomorrow yet. Probably should have just called, but oh well.

 

[Ibuki]

This doesn't ever happen in my district anymore. As long as you ask customers if there is anything coming up they want, that's the end of it. No one gets in trouble for cancels either. It must suck working for/with that style of manager.

 

[Mononoke]

More towards the desert. Just past Redlands, Ca although my work is in Burbank/Hollywood. Been to Anahiem a bazillion times though!

Midnight check it out. Hope it works!

 

[Maengun1]

Thanks!

 

[superNESjoe]

Any Target selling Ike and Mega Man tomorrow?

My local store shows 0 but a friend that works there brought it out and showed it to me that they have them and told me to come back Sunday

 

[Mononoke]

Mononoke - Did you get my PM earlier? I know you were probably swamped with the giveaway/contest stuff, so no worries.

You need a Rosalina right? On my phone. But let me check. Sorry. I can def get you a Rosalina as you asked weeks ago.

In fact I'm guaranteeing you one. Pm me your shipping address.

My old manager refused to take cancels and made all of game advisors take the register for cancels but if there was a preorder he would be like "nah I got it" and then yell at the poor GAs over performace. It was nuts

 

[cocopuffs]

Does anyone from AMIIBO GAF have a LITTLE MAC AND AN IKE AMIIBO that they would be looking to sell to this poor Canadian? I've been looking forever and there's no one selling it at non-scalper prices.

All I want for Xmas is a Little Mac (and Ike). And I'd be willing to pay a little extra as well.

 

[Neo Dark]

Nope. You need to go to the store to get reliable information at the moment.
Edit: And even then it might not be reliable... It's a mess really.

That was old gamestop as a whole. In the last year's time it has changed a lot. I'm sure there are still shitty managers but I never do rude or selfish shit like that to my employees.

 

[Boogiepop]

Screw it. Getting up early to be at Target for opening. If I don't get a Rosalina, I shall be grumpy.

 

[Blue Namagem]

Wow, that's poor managing on full display right there. What a douche.

Calling wasn't very helpful. I called my local Target twice, earlier today for Rosalina and then just a minute ago for Sheik. Both times it was a bust - according to their computer, they had zero. I tried calling the next closest Target, and when it forwarded me to electronics it beeped three times and hung up. I'm hoping their computer is like brickseek, and just won't be updated until midnight.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Any Target selling Ike and Mega Man tomorrow?

No. gonna have Bowser, took link, rosalina, and shiek though.

Did you give them the DPCI?

 

[Nocturn]

I work at 6am tomorrow . My only options are to go at 10-11am during break or at 2pm.. Target and BestBuy are buildings apart and in a not so heavy traffic area. Hopefully I luck out.

 

[Mononoke]

Wow that's fuckin awful

 

[Blue Namagem]

I sincerely doubt Mega Man will be available in the States tomorrow, but on the off chance he is, please lemme know so I can continue my quest for 7 Mega Man custom colored alt amiibos. All help is appreciated! I'll be on the look out for Rosalina bright and early tomorrow, myself.

I'll even take Japanese or European Mega Mans for trade, if need be. They're gonna be opened anyways, so I don't mind.

 

[Mononoke]

Any Target selling Ike and Mega Man tomorrow?

Mega Man and Sonic were delayed to mid or late Feb. They won't be on sale tomorrow unless randomly stores got them in their shipments.

Ike prob too. Release dates were a fuckin mess in NA. There are like 6 of them. Only thing to expect tomorrow is:

Rosalina
Bowser
Toon Link
Sheik

Unless GS is getting some like Ike on the 1st. But yeah.

I'll be keeping an eye out for you as well! I can't wait to see the finished project.

Yep, but who knows, a fluke could happen! Probably not, but we'll see in the AM.

I'll be there at opening , let's doooooooooo thisssssssss

That's nuts. EB Games Canada got me all my non-exclusives (except Sonic and Megaman who are later) and my Shulk. What in the world is even happening?

 

[Blue Namagem]

I'll be keeping an eye out for you as well! I can't wait to see the finished project.

Thanks so much. Feel free to PM me with any details, I'd really appreciate it. I'm so excited to make this happen, aw man! And with help from folks like you, I just might be able to do it!

 

[Mononoke]

Yep, but who knows, a fluke could happen! Probably not, but we'll see in the AM.

Would be great! I just need Mega Man and Sonic to finish Wave 3. Sucks not knowing when to know when to look for them. JP/EU lists Sonic and Mega Man on Feb 20th.

 

[Interface23]

Nah he's still a douche, one of my buddies got a holiday job there and was full hired as a GA and the first thing he had to do was call people with Amiibo/N3DS in store games/accessory orders and tell them that they had to pay them off immediately or he would have to cancel them.

My old boss legit hates in store pickups and The hold thing and will lie and say a game is not in stock or have the 0.00 in store pickups cancelled so that's why I urged and still do urge every one to check on theirs

 

[Arc07]

Hopefully the Target I picked up 2x WFTs and a Villager from (2 weeks ago) isn't too crazy tomorrow morning. If I have no luck, would Lucario for Rosalina be a viable trade around here?

Spoiler

I have 4 Lucarios.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Damn I'm so jealous. I thought Shulk was feb 13th for GS NA. I hope Play Asia ships mine early then since they should have them already. Since mine is the US version.

Strange how it's not out in JP, and yet it's out in Canada first lol

Us Canadians deserve to get a bone thrown once in a while.

Also forgot to mention this earlier but it's good to have you back Azula (or should I start calling you Mononoke now?) Despite what others may say, you are among the best members of Amiibo-Gaf.

Your old boss sounds like a cartoon villain, those he had an evil mustache?

 

[Mononoke]

I honestly have no idea why EB games or Canada got all their Wave 3 already. But in the U.S. we got like 6 release dates for every other Amiibo. And stores are only getting 4 per store in some cases. Amiibos in the U.S. are a joke.

I do know that Sonic and Mega Man were delayed to Feb 20th in EU/JP and I heard they were pushed to Feb 13 and 20th in the U.S. Dede was also pushed to the 13th. Not sure about Ike.

Pretty sure only Bowser, Toon Link, Shiek and Rosalina will be for sale tomorrow unless GS gets other Wave 3 stuff on the 1st. Anyone here work for GS? Are you getting Ike or Dede tomorrow?

I have all of my Wave 3 because I imported them all. No hassle. Just need Sonic and Mega Man.

 

[Interface23]

Your old boss sounds like a cartoon villain, those he had an evil mustache?

Nah a douchebag 27 year old kid who somehow got his store at 21...

 

[Mecca]

Sheik has been available at a few stores in the U.S. The one I got has a pretty bad paint job, but she was an impulse buy so I'm not too upset.

I do know that Sonic and Mega Man were delayed to Feb 20th in EU/JP and I heard they were pushed to Feb 13 and 20th

The thing is, the Shulk (and probably Sheik) shipments were not complete so they only had 50-75% of the shipment to fulfill preorders. Some people still need to wait to get the ones they're missing in 2-3 weeks. It's pretty unlikely there'll be enough afterwards for walk-ins. I guess some of it is still the same in the NA!... ;-;

 

[cmurph]

Any one every get anything sent to them from amazon that they never ordered?

I recently ordered Rosalina and Lucario from amazon.fr. They arrived perfectly, but the next day I also got a surprise package of five french 3D blurays. I was never charged for them so... But I'm not sure how they made that goof.

 

[randombat]

If I can get an extra Ros I'd definitely trade for a Lucario with ya.

Yeah except NA didn't even get any for the 1st!

So many things were pushed back to the 13th or 20th. I'm shocked you guys have Shulk already. No one in the entire world has Shulk yet. But we didn't even get Ike, Dede. Lol we basically got Bowser, Toon Link and some Sheik.

I guess we got 4 Lucario per store. But those all went to scalpers.

 

[SalvaPot]

So it just occurred to me... what are the odds Target.com opens more Rosalina orders online?

Maybe they get a second shipment or something? I don´t know.
