Amiibo Thread 3 | Where release dates are made up and preorders don't matter!
- Thread starter Jawmuncher
- Start date

I am so tempted to just import a JP Dedede and not deal with crazy release dates. $25 bucks or days/weeks of stress? Hmmm...
dat ass has the weight of 2 galaxies.
Don't ever be tempted, do yourself justice and never bring that kind of thought again.
I decided to change my Meta Knight pre-order from in store pick up to shipping. I did the same for the rest of my Wave 3 pre-orders a while ago. I don't trust in store pick up after my local Best Buy didn't have both Little Mac and Pitt that I had pre-ordered. I was lucky to find Pitt at Gamestop though. But I'm still missing Little Mac.
Did you do this online or did you have to call? I don't see an option with my order.

Man dude at target told me they sold out with in 2 hours on opening. I'm sad
2 hours was a long time.

Fuck the stress, import it, he looks fantastic.
I'm not sure but I think another poster said they're about the same.

"I want you, I want you so bad..."
Mine sold them all in about 30 minutes, & my town's population is about 20k, yet was rather barren this morning when I went in.
Also, just a friendly reminder for those who're looking for Rosalina that if Target ships my order, I'll have a spare that I'll give away this week.
You have to call, but just a warning - I did this and the customer service rep messed up and put my order into limbo. They don't know if it will be fulfilled. Do it at your own risk.

From where? It's sold out on Play-Asia.
Quick question since I haven't had the chance to keep up with this at all: Are Mega Man and Shulk available starting today? or am I going to have to wait until later in the month to get them? Just curious since Wave 3's release has had me confused for the longest time now.
Talking about NA, btw.

As of now, best to everyone knowledge, Shulk is 2/13 and Mega Man is 2/20
As far as I have gathered, they are later in the month. Shulk Feb. 13 and MegaMan on Feb. 20.

Oh, alright. Thank you very much! Guess I'm just gonna have to hold on tight for them.

I personally think it's safer to get it shipped.
You have to call. Standard shipping is like $3 I think.
This has to be the single most avatar-quoted avatar on GAF lol.

This weekend I decided displaying my Amiibo collection on a computer desk wasn't working anymore due to lack of space and a growing collection. I made a trip to the hardware store.
Just one more try for tonight, at least if I can stop myself: I have an extra NA Rosalina in box, no defects that I can tell, and I'm looking for a Little Mac, any region, opened or unopened. I'm really starting to frustrate/annoy myself over this as I really, really do want Little Mac, but the scalper prices have become insane. He's not only the last one I need for now, he's also one of the ones I wanted most, so it's super disappointing and starting to get me a little down on Amiibo in general right now. So if anyone has an extra Mac, I'd super appreciate if you could get in contact with me. (Also, I don't know how much it's been done, but maybe a triangle/multiple trade could be something that could work, like with each person shipping to a different one so all three end up with the Amiibo they want, I don't know).
Also, I think people mentioned a spreadsheet a while back for this stuff? Who should I contact about that?
But yeah, I really need to step away from this for a while, since I'm legitimately getting kind of frustrated over something that should just be a fun little toy. But if anyone can help me out please get in contact with me via PM or replying to this post or whatever.

Must. Resist. Buying. Not. Enough. Rupees. Need another job uuuuuugh so tempting.
Ahhhh looks awesome! Perfect place to display as well.
Ok good to know, thanks for the info. I think I'll chance it at the store. I have no backup for Meta Knight.

Failed to snag a Rosalina this morning. Arrived at Target approximately 30 minutes before it opened and walked up to the door to wait just in case. I saw no one else and assumed I was the first to show up. Wrong. An employee walks out and explains that they had a line forming well before that and just let them come in and buy prior to opening since there were already more people than available Rosalina's.
I certainly appreciate him letting me know and can understand not making people wait unnecessarily if the line was already longer than available product, but was a bit bummed nonetheless.
My previous post still stands. If someone has an extra, I'm happy to pay.

Ouch. Maybe I am the sad one.

Would anyone like to trade my Bowser for your Toon Link?
Both are getting another shipment later in the month, right?

Just pre-ordered all of wave 4 from FYE. Looked like I was the first person there to do so.
Did reservations finally open up in the US?!

These things are crazy. All week the same people have been coming in each day asking if they could buy them early or if they could have one put on hold for them. Finally toady we get to work and there are about 20 people outside waiting for them. I ended up buying 2 rosalina when I got off work cause our store got a lot of them.

Has FYE carried amiibos in the past? Also, did the associates have any idea what you were talking about?

So I wanted to stay the hell away from amiibos since I like too much to collect things.
However my gf gifted me a Yoshi out of nowhere and now the Pandora's box is opened.
Today we found a lonely Villager on a shelf (EU here) and I bought it immediatly, now I feel like I really want DK, Diddy, Lucario and maybe Fox.
Link and Mario would be cool aswell I guess.
I think I'm doomed.

FYE has actually had a few hard to come by amiibos like pit in the past though YMMV. The manager told me though that they weren't getting all of Wave 4 except ones to fulfill preorders so....cautiously optimistic atm.
You aren't, you are European and Nintendo loves your business.
Although I did hear that Rosalina and Little Mac are hard to come by over there.

Just nearly considered getting Rosalina, DDD and MK from Nippon Yasan but I read online I'd pay 20% vat on top of it. Absolute joke it's coming to this for some collectable toys. Get your shit together with future amiibo Nintendo.
We'll see what the situation is like for MK and DDD later this month when they're released here, but I'm sure I'm going to be paying at least £20 if I want a Rosalina unless someone can hook me up.

Wow, Rosalina is climbing in price on eBay. That's crazy. Still going to open her because I think she's great. But I really should have bought more...
But not in the US.
being best girl doesn't come without a price
D: Well, hopefully they'll get them up soon and when I'm not stuck at work.
