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

Good luck today everyone! I only post in here from time to time, but I know the struggle and keep up with the thread every day... Godspeed...
 
Just parked outside of my Target. Four cars with people in them, only one looked like a fellow amiibo hunter. But then again, looks can be deceiving.

It's 2 degrees outside so nobody's lining up. lol
 
Seeing that I got my Rosalina in the mail yesterday, I was going to go out and brave the cold to try and get another one, but alas, I'm too lazy and I have her already. And the sheer reality is I have 5 Amiibo's opened that I never use, so I think I'm gonna sit this one out.

In other news, I got a TRU order confirmation notice, items located in stock for my lucario and Sheik items. Says I can expect them between 02/04/2015 and 02/09/2015. This order was placed right after the big cancellation mess up TRU had.

I had another order that I used with the coupon after they cancelled my first order. Bowser, Sheik, Sonic and Lucario were included in that second order, and no movement on that.
 
My target has them in stock! And there isn't any line or people waiting outside from what I can tell. Oh laws! 14 mins to go.
 
Got here at 6:50 and there were 3 people in line. Right now there's about 20 or so, I'm fourth and its one per person. Also 4,shiek

A friend of mine is at another getting the other two we need and is first in line.
 
Fanboys arguing in line is awkward

Christ, when I was at Gamestop on Friday, I was merely trying to ask the clerk the following:

"Hey, so I pre-ordered all of wave 3 of the amiibos. I see some people online are getting some from other gamestops, have you gotten any in yet?"

Before the clerk could answer, some guy behind me (I'm restraining calling him a chode and mind you I'm typing in caps for him because he was indeed, yelling) starts babbling about "THEY ARENT IN YET AND BESIDES THEYRE ONLY FOR PREORDERS!!"

I turn around and am like "Dude, I just said I pre-ordered all of them." to which the cashier interjects and I can tell he has a pained look on his face like he's been dealing with this guy all day. "We don't have any yet, but try back on Sunday. We might have some then."

I then ask "So do you know which are coming? Is Shulk going to be in there?"

Again, before the clerk can answer, the same guy behind me pipes up "YOU HAD TO PREORDER SHULK AGES AGO! HE ISNT AVAILABLE FOR ANYONE BUT PREORDERS".

At this point, the clerk and I are just stunned by his behavior, especially considering he was not being spoken to nor was he an employee at this location. It was like he just wanted to feel superior that day by touting around that he had pre-ordered....when I have a pre-order for all of Wave 3 at that location. It just blew my mind.
 
There's a line of at my local Target and people are rocking smash bros stuff and mass effect gear. This is about to get ugly!
