Don't try and check Gamestop until I get an answer. I have a feeling me and everyone here were told to come here before they knew they were getting shipments on the 13th.

Yes this seems very likely, that just happened in the last few days or so, originally they all said 2/1.

Edit: Yes everyone asking, Shulk is not today, currently ETA is 2/13 but that is not a confirmed date could arrive before, exact day or after and its not dated so as soon as stores get him they can sell any extra they get... if they get any I get the feeling he'll be the hardest to get due to his very limited popularity compared to some of the others.
 
There was no way for me too get out today. Oh well. Maybe when some of the hype dies down I'll try and grab one online for a reasonable price if such a thing exists.
 
My target was awesome. Everyone was civil. Single file line walking to the electronics section like in elementary school. Limit one. Nobody fighting or anything.

I called a Target in the Metro-Detroit area after 9 and they offered to hold one for me as long as I picked it up within the hour. When I got there, they still had a few sitting in a drawer. They might have been holds as well, though.

Nothing else besides Bowser, but I wouldn't doubt it if other Targets had a few extras.

It's difficult when they come in groups. There was a family at my target this morning trying to get multiples of everything and they were getting grabby too. I was first in line so I got Rosie and Shiek, but she got 5 Rosies by giving one to the 4 people with her. They tried to cut me for Sheik but I got one and they got the rest. They did the same thing with Toon Link.

Pieces of human garbage, don't be greedy and have some dignity

That sort of happened over here too, but the larger groups showed up pretty late so I don't know if they even got one.
 
People in my line are super cool. We letting them run to their cars and come back if we have to. Joking around that we'll take their copies :p Good group of people here.
 
My target had a bunch of Rosalinas and bowsers at 1030am - at least 15 of each left when I picked mine up. No sheik to be seen
 
Wasn't able to get one. My friend was only able to grab one, and by the time my meeting was out, the only target id have time to make it to before my shift is sold out. Oh well. :(

I'm glad I don't really want any rares and didn't bother with rosalina. I'm even gonna give shulk away. If my preorders aren't fulfilled, fuck it. I'm not hunting for these anymore.

I wanted Toon Link, Sonic, and Rosalina since she's so rare but I told myself I won't be driving around town looking for these things anymore if I came up short this time.

Might post this here:
I have a Little Mac without box bit in perfect condition is it worth trying to sell it? How much would it be worth?

I'm pretty sure you would have no problem. I plan on eventually getting a display for the figures themselves, so I know someone like me would kill for a Little Mac, boxed or not.
 
Wooo got Rosalina. Not too hard honestly. My local town didn't have one so I drove to the nearest one which had 6 left at around 830 am
 
Happily, I just got NA Rosalina from Target.

Very calm, no scalpers, and 1 per person. I was hoping for 2 per person, but the workers specifically said "If people are gonna try and resell these, they're gonna be SOL. This is going to be very common"

Hopefully this guy is correct and all the scalpers can simply suck a lemon.

From Long Island, NY.

He does. I have a feeling gamestop might have misinformed us by accident. 20 minutes to go until I can give you guys an answer.

I can tell you now they don't have any, we don't get shipments in on Sunday and there was nothing even on the way as of yesterday.
 
Don't know if this has been mentioned but I just got charged from Gamestop for my Megaman Amiibo.

This is going to be my first Amiibo, can't wait!

from what I've seen and heard he's probably right Rosalina seems to be the largest parts of the shipments that targets received.

Target says no Rosalina amiibo in stock anywhere -_-. Gonna go to Gamestop to pre-order Shulk and maybe Mega Man tomorrow though.

target website lies, call your local store and if they are out ask if they can look in the store-data inventory it's not tied to the website
 
*checks inventory checker on Rosalina, says there isn't any within 100 miles*

I'm starting to wish I was able to pre-order Shulk. Considering how small our GS is, I don't think they'll get a bunch of spares.
 
Asking again: got a second Rosalina, want to trade for a Little Mac. He's the last one I need, so if anyone could help out that would be awesome. Both of mine look fine and are boxed, and I don't need a box for the Mac.

So you got confirmation that Shulk is going up for pre-order again? People seem to be confused about that, and I'd like to know, since I missed out the first time.
 
I got to Super Target right as they opened. There was line of about 10 people in front of me, luckily none of them were scalpers, just good ol' Amiibros. There were enough Rosalinas to spare, they ran out of Sheiks almost immediately though.

I was about to take the L, but decided to go to the regular Target close to my house and to my surprise they had a bunch of Rosalinas and a couple of Shieks. No line or anything.

If you're in the Denver area and looking for Rosie, try the Target on Hampden and Tamarac. What a wonderful hunt.

Aside from Lucario and Rosalina, which one's from Wave 3 appear to be rare?
Click to expand...

dunno if i would call rosalina rare some stores even got 20-40 of her in stock. As for who is rare lookes like sheik will be the captain falcon of these first ones as she comes 1-4 a box only.
