All my wave 3 bros:

I'm so jealous!

All I need is Sonic and Mega Man to finish my Wave 3. I can't wait to fill out my display:

Edit: meta knight and Dede are here tomorrow. Waiting on Play Asia US Shulk to ship. So technically I need Shulk. But I feel safe that he's secured. Don't have Sonic or Mega Man pre ordered.

 

[properpropaganda]

So I went to my toys r us and the preorders have been set aside, so according to that I am guaranteed some lucarios until the 6th. I don't really have the money to pick any of them up so if anyone is looking for lucarios let me know. I have 5 on preorder.

 

[TheBlackAdept]

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.

Some on here from EB Ca confirmed the next wave would have exclusives, but if FYE is doing preorders for all of them who knows.

And nintendo took the idea right out of the DI/Skylanders playbook. Hope they don't catch on to power discs...

God I love that display case ;-;

 

[ZeroX03]

Sent out some Rosalina to the States. Only have one left. Not sure if I want to trade or not. Shipping is such a pain it's nearly the price of the amiibo itself.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

All my wave 3 bros:

So I have not found a single one (well I found Lucario but got him for a friend), and seeing them all lined up, I really like Shulk, Sheik, Toon Link, Lucario and Deedee. I'm never going to be able to find them all

The display is looking wonderful. I hope to make something like that once I get the whole Smash line.

 

[Velcro Fly]

These Wave 3s look so fucking good. I was so close to being done with this shit but Dedede and Ike and Mega Man look so good

I'm going to need a display like that soon.

I'm going to run out of room on top of my shelves once the Super Mario line comes out:

Keep it, maybe she will become even more valuable later on.

Thanks! My fiancé saw it on Reddit. I guess all the Anime figurine collectors use them because of how cheap they are in store $65. The cost buying it online is close to $180 with shipping which is ridiculous. My fiancé wanted it badly so she pushed me to drive 3 hours to go get it lol

I have to say, the quality of the case is amazing for $65. I'm still surprised by the quality of material and the size for $65.

$65? Fuck, I paid $20 just for mini shelves haha that's a great deal

 

[Koppai]

Ugh why did I order them all at Best Buy. They take forever ugh!

 

[Mononoke]

I'm going to run out of room on top of my shelves once the Super Mario line comes out:

Here is some other shots I've posted before:

It has 4 shelves. I've already got stairs for two shelves under the top. Going to use Wave 3-4 for the new shelf.

 

[Magwik]

Better late than never. I still regret not getting Fox while they had him.

 

[wilflare]

still waiting for Amazon.com to ship mine :O

 

[Velcro Fly]

Best Buy has been on it with Wave 3. Earning my trust back big time. Glad I have the rest of the non exclusives preordered with them.

 

[brutes]

Went to Target after work and they seemed to have plenty of Rosalina. They were behind the counter and limited to one per transaction, but I was sorta surprised they were so easy to get.

She and Bowser were the only Wave 3 they had.

Wish my Target did that. One guy bought all of them, which was around 30

 

[MADGAME]

What a piece of human garbage, and shame on that particular location. The 2 stores I went to near me both said their Nintendo rep asked them to restrict.

 

[superNESjoe]

Anybody got an extra Rosalina in the states? By the time I was able to take the hour to drive to my closest Target they were already gone.

 

[Mononoke]

The display is looking wonderful. I hope to make something like that once I get the whole Smash line.

Thank you so much!

My fiancé got me into collecting to get our mind off my Cancer remission stuff (was suffering from PTSD after it). It helped out a lot. Like hunting Amiibos and then helping build up this community has been a major joy for me.

Although I did have to step back and stop stressing over getting each one. I came into collecting late so I wasn't aware all the issues you NA amiibros/amiigals went through with the other waves so it was over whelming. But now im good. We are both proud of the display

 

[AdanVC]

All those Rosalinas playing in MK8 online predicted the huge demand of her with amiibo so that's why Nintendo supply a lot of Rosies in the US

 

[Frogstep]

What a piece of human garbage, and shame on that particular location. The 2 stores I went to near me both said their Nintendo rep asked them to restrict.

That really is fucking disgusting. I can't believe that store just let that guy walk away with all 30 when he saw there was a line for them. Terrible.

 

[Oswen]

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.

Oh dear, I saw one Little Mac and a Captain Falcon (Is this rare aswell in Europe?) where I got the Villager, no Rosalinas though.

I guess I'll go back there tomorrow and hope for the best.

 

[Gartooth]

Unless an online order fucks me up, I'm accounted for all Wave 3 except Lucario, Meta-Knight, and an extra Shulk for my Xenoblade addict friend.

Those three are gonna be real fun, especially Mister "I'm sorry all three of me got sold out at Toys R Us".

Falcon is kind of rare. I guess he's on the same level as Pit.

That's ridiculous. Especially if there's a line behind him of folks looking to buy one.

To be honest, Rosalina is very low on my list of wants, but given her likely rarity I picked one up just in case. Don't want to regret it. I'll probably offload her once I come across someone who needs a Rosalina for their collection or something, i.e. a person who actually wants her and not someone like that 30 douchebag who just wants to flip 'em for a profit.

 

[Mecca]

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.

Wow. You make it seem so easy.

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.

I don't have a Little Mac, but Mononoke runs the spreadsheet.

 

[Mononoke]

PM me your shipping address and I'll send you one. Fuck that noise.

Scalper scum won't win.

 

[punkmaggit]

Just got confirmation from Target that my Rosalina shipped!! I placed the order this morning when she was in stock.

 

[dukie85]

Mine still says order created :/

 

[Gonzo The Great]

So... who do I import from? The scalpers are already at it. >_>

 

[Hazu]

I can't believe each wave is getting harder to get than the previous one. This makes me so worried about missing wave 4 preorders.

 

[Fularu]

I can't believe each wave is getting harder to get than the previous one. This makes me so worried about missing wave 4 preorders.

Because people are preordering and going first thing in the morning in order to get them.

Wave 1 took everyone by surprise (many people believed they would flop)

 

[Zonic]

The final wave is going to be hell since I bet it'll be nothing but obscure characters. Heck, Wave 4 is starting to get with less common characters with I'd say half of them being kind of unknown to the public. People will know Pac-Man & perhaps Charizard or Wario.

 

[Hazu]

Even preordering is getting close to impossible since most of them go out of stock really quickly.

 

[Toki767]

The final wave will have Dr. Mario as the only common.

 

[Mononoke]

So... who do I import from? The scalpers are already at it. >_>

Play Asia has them for $20 but shipping is a lot. Or you can do basic shipping but it might take a while.

 

[Frogstep]

Welp, looks like Fox and WFT are no longer happening for me. Was scheduled to receive them in the mail from some amiibro's here but looks like something went terribly wrong.

 

[Hatchtag]

So... who do I import from? The scalpers are already at it. >_>

$22.72 with 3-4 week shipping, can be sped up for up to $9 more: http://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/order

 

[Zonic]

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this happened.

 

[MrSaturn99]

Maaann I gotta wait until later this month for some of my preorders (Shulk, Ike, and Meta Knight) to ship.

I don't even know if my Lucario one from Toys R Us is still in the cards (they said around 2/1, but...)

scarreeeeed

If you don't mind the Japanese box...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PIEHU74/?tag=neogaf0e-20

My fiancé here since Amazon is filling them locally in the U.S. so quick shipping, and it's Amazon Prime too.

Mine comes tomorrow already.

Edit: on phone, looks like it's no longer Prime.

 

[Christopher]

eBay Lucarios are shipping February 4th

That was the one associated with TRU, right? Thanks for the info.

 

[cwistofu]

Just got back from Target, I experienced the true struggle.

Thanks, M&M of America. Way to understock such a desired product! Pull your heads out of your asses for once why don't you.

 

[properpropaganda]

Posting again for the new page, in case anyone still needs a lucario.

 

[WarAdept]

I've never really bought figurines before. What am I doing...

 

[eternalblue]

Was this already brought up?

http://www.thetanooki.com/2015/02/0...ike-king-dedede-sonic-or-mega-man/#more-49325

So Target won't be getting King Dedede, Ike, Sonic, or Mega Man in store? And they'll maybe get one more replenishment on Rosalina for April 1 and that's it? It's good to see them acknowledging that there's supposed to be limits on quantities and no reason that stores should sell all their stock to scalpers.

Interesting that they state the reason for not carrying the rest of wave 3 is because of Nintendo supply constraints.
