You're not doomed until you're buying multiples of each character...one to keep sealed, one to display, and one to remove an NFC chip from so you can put it in a keychain and carry your waifu's AI with you...

Today I went out and got Rosalina (for me and a buddy), samus, diddy, Luigi, and Zelda (for my gf)
Got Wii fit trainer, captain falcon, Dedede, and meta knight coming in the mail too!
Super happy with today's turnout, looking forward to the 13th for watching my gf buy shiek, and the 20th for sonic and megaman :3 then wave 4 preorders!

Really feeling good about my decision to pre-order Ike/DDD/Mega Man/Sonic at GameStop now, and not pre-ordering Toon Link because I figured I'd be able to find him without hassle.
I'm becoming an expert at this amiibo thing.

Nope still waiting on it. Was suppose to come on 1/30. Might have been delayed somehow from the snowstorm last week and upcoming one tonight in the east coast USA...

I only bought one extra as back up to get the other store exclusives. If i get Wave 3 without any trouble, it will become a freebie.
Its crazy how expensive Rosalina has gotten, given the amout available at first

So, if I want Toon Link, what's my best shot? :/
I haven't started collecting Amiibos at all yet, but Toon Link and Metaknight are two that I really want
Metaknight seems to be limited and now impossible to get, so I'm hoping maybe I can get Toon Link.

Fuck the stress, import it, he looks fantastic.
I hope he's accessible after release. Never really played a Kirby game before, but that is a nice looking piece and would consider if I get Rainbow Curse. I posted this before, but I think it's funny they're going to have a game come out in a few weeks promoting Amiibo usage where you won't be able to actually find 2 of the 3 Amiibo to use for the game. >.>
Are you kidding me?! Darn you nature!
The wait is just ugh
Got her and Lucario last week.
Happy someone gets to enjoy their Rosalina.

Toon Link is very possible!
I went to a couple Fred Meyer stores and they had 3 at one store and 1 at the other.
They're still out there!
So its calm here, TRU shipped my Lucario, my friend at gamestop told me my preorders are a sure thing since they are paid in full, I got a codename steam poster that looks badass and TRU confirmed my Lucario and Best Buy confirmed my Sheik, I must be the greatest surfer ever because Wave 3 was smooth as hell.
Dear god that was stressful, when Little Mac released there was ONE other person on line only, funny how that time the store didn´t had any, ha!

All of wave 4? Hmm. So maybe no retailer exclusives after all?
Yeah, I got my Rosy and Lucario on the 26th.

THEY'RE HEREEEEEEEEEEE
Finally my Shulk, the one I wanted the most from day 1 is mine :')
Just waiting on Ike shipping over from NZ and I've got them all.
Now to rip that packaging away and let my figures into the fresh air.

I need Shulk close-ups now! Have no idea if I'm ever going to get him myself.

I really hope that's the case, I'd like to have a stress-free trip or surfing to get Ness. He's currently the only other amiibo I want right now.

What about Pac Man??? You don't want Pac Man!?

It looks like its a wide spread issue. My estimate was also Thursday, but I still see no sign of her.

Nope. Just Ness, I would like to get Ganondorf and Duck Hunt but they haven't been officially announced yet (hopefully).

Did you get scalped hard?

Heads up. Little Mac is considered the rarest in Europe. Rosalina is looking like a close second. So if you're after those two, prepare to pay a hefty price.

Got a voice mail from some girl from Best Buy saying my Sheik is there waiting for me but would be cancelled Feb 10th.
So I guess just Rosalina i'll be missing

Well...120$ for all four...so I'm not sure. I keep telling myself it was worth it? Incidentally...what the heck are we gonna use Shulk for outside of Smash Bros? Nothing's been mentioned about Amiibo support for Xenoblade and X.
Thank you, amiibro.
Someone is selling Japanese Marth for $30, I don´t know if he is reliable, so check that youselfs: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nintendo-Marth-Amiibo-Region-free-Rare-Item-Brand-New-Free-Fast-Shipping-/271761936941?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f4646122d
So, i have an awesome story to share from today. I got to my target around 7am, and only had a couple of other cars around. Eventually, after a few more rolled in, one person finally went to wait, and then we all exited and decided it was time to form the line. Everyone was super nice, though a few seemed like they were gunning to get a few Rosalinas, but no one seemed like they would get more then 3 at most, so no crazy shit.
Well, the guy ahead of me in line, name was Rob, and i got talking about anime and Smash mains, and we both kind of hung at the store chatting a bit. The Target i was at was great. Every amiibo they got in was on the counter, they kept a line, 1 per customer, and checked you out right there at electronics, so everyone was happy.
So after this, we decided to head to another Target to hopefully nab one extra for whatever purpose, and manage to do well at that Target as well, so now we were content, and this guy knew i was killing time before i went to meet with some friends, so he invited me over for some Smash. We hung out for a couple hours talking fighting games and anime, and it was super great. Before i left, he asked how much i wanted Little Mac, which kind of threw me off, since we had only talked about holes in our collection for a minute or two. I tell him he is my sought after figure, such on, and he reaches into a case he has, and pulls out an open one. He says "Throw me what i paid for it, and its yours. I've had an extra for a bit, but i'd rather it go to someone super passionate then just hang on to it, i've got good trade fodder already".
So, not only did i make an awesome new friend today, I FINALLY GOT LITTLE MAC, FOR RETAIL PRICE!
Seriously, this is the best day i've ever had with Amiibos. I'm so happy right now.
congrats Gunstar!
sorry I couldn't help with it but glad you finally got what you are looking for <3

Is there any chance I can walk into a store and just find a Shulk, Toon Link, Metaknight, or King Dedede? Are these slated for release today (2/1)?
The availability issues on these is such a bummer

Thanks again M1nion!
No idea, unless your GS connections want to kindly give us an update. I wouldn't be surprised if it was pre-orders & then maybe a few for the shelves.
GameStop dude told me that Shulk was expected 2/15.

Oh I hope freakin' so. That was a DUMB idea Nintendo had. And they've had a lot of those recently. My only worry is that it's taken so long to announce pre-orders. Makes one wonder if they are indeed negotiating exclusive deals.

that there is shulk, where did shulk

Wave 4 might be too small for retailer exclusives
Wave 3 is bigger so having a few exclusive wasn't a big deal

This makes me want to open all my Amiibo. The collector in me wants them to stay in the boxes though.
Free Weegee.
