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

I got one Gartooth.

Honestly, Ike and Megaman are the ones I really want, and after Shiek I feel like I'm going to get screwed :(

I haven't received one yet. My order is still showing just like yours, with the delivery being between Wednesday and next Monday.

Yes, I got the e-mail about 3 hours ago.

Thanks guys. Guess I'm going to have to play the waiting game, although I am going to be worried if I hear nothing today.
 
So I've got every amiibo from Wave 3 pre-ordered and this is how the order statuses are looking:

Rosalina: Tomorrow
Bowser, Toon Link, Sheik: February 9th
Ike: February 10th (my birthday!)
Shulk, King Dedede, Meta Knight, Mega Man, Sonic: February 27 - March 5
Lucario: ? (my father ordered him so I'll never know when he'll get shipped)

Bring it on, Wave 4!
 
Wow. Just got a call from Best Buy. My Shiek came in today. Guy said it was delayed due to the blizzard. Best Buy -did- come through for me, after sending an email that it was cancelled. WTF.

Hey, mine too! I might get my three imports that day (Ike, Meta Knight, and Rosalina).
 
So after 10 days of waiting... he finally came today.

Sword is slightly bent however, but not to the point where I want to return it.

The collection is slowly growing...

I think Ike's sword being angled like that is the norm now. It was straight in the promo pics, but the actual figure's sword is angled.

Got an email that my TRU.com Lucario is delayed. You can't make this shit up.
Really? I got an email today saying it was shipped... When was your order placed?

I got that email too ;.(
Plus this Lucario was an apology Lucario from the FIRST cancellation!!

I received the email 2 days ago that he was processing and about to ship, and today I received the "Lucario is delayed and could be cancelled email"

I ordered it immediately after it was re-added to the site after the first round of cancellations. I even got a preparing for shipment email on the 1st.
 
Yeah, I just noticed my gamestop ship to store orders are now "closed" as well, and I never paid in store for anything

I really hope I don't end up getting screwed over on my Shulk order...
 
Just sitting here waiting for my Rosalina to not get canceled...
If it does, just PM me and I'll sell you my import (so long as you're okay with the Japanese box) at the cost of my US Rosalina plus shipping. It's on the way. One of my three boxes is already at JFK (no idea which one it is).
 
Is there anyone here who doesn't use CLUB NINTENDO points??!

If anyone can send me codes for 300 worth of coins or just order me the Majoras Mask messenger bag I can give you a sealed NA Pit amiibo!

PM me! Thanks!
 
Been looking at Marths all morning, and repeating to myself "He's getting reprinted, he's getting reprinted, paaaaatience..."

I pulled on one earlier this week when a AmiiboGaffer posted some eBay links with cheaper prices and high feedback. Was 23.00 from Japan which is cheaper than the 30 it hovers around. Figures I might as well pull since I open mine, and ever with a reprint would probably be a pain to fine for me.
 
My Lucario got delayed from toysrus.com too. Was hoping that everyone's got delayed and that it was just some type of error, but the fact some people had theirs shipped makes me worry. Really disappointed right now.

I might have an extra Shulk coming in from gamestop.com if my online order holds, so hopefully I'll be able to trade with someone.

I will let you know what has happened once I get a Target email.
 
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but why aren't the Super Mario line of amiibos showing up on Amazon anymore, not even as a "currently unavailable" like the Mario Party bundle is? My Toad preorder doesn't appear to be cancelled...

Yeah, my finger has been hovering over the order button, too. The Japanese ones on Amazon aren't terribly priced, and knowing my shit luck I'll be unable to get my hands on a reprint, but I still can't bring myself to do it. :(
 
My order placed after the cancellation mess has been shipped...my reinstated order is still "item(s) located in stock"...weird...If both ship out somehow, I'll send to someone on here...
 
I have a pending charge on my credit card from Walmart.com so I checked my open orders.

Sonic and Dedede are processing with expected arrival dates of February 10th. Not sure if this is an update, or if this is what it's always said.

Wonder if Amazon pulled the trigger too soon on them before they had shipment numbers from Nintendo. Hopefully they are at least trying to honor as many as they can if/when they go back up.
 
So what's the deal with Lucario in store? I've been very busy but am I correct in the understanding that TRU sold him early and now we're all SOL?
 
Thanks! :D

Just keep me posted. You might not get mine for a few weeks (depends on customs and what-not) but you've got a guarantee from me.

Importing might be your best option.
 
Uhh my gamestop orders for shulk and Ike say "Closed". I have them on In-store pickup and haven't gotten any emails or calls about them arriving yet. Anybody else have experience with gamestop in store pick up? Should I call them? When is gamestop supposed to be releasing them anyways?
 
Probably old news but FYI:

A Target employee has confirmed the authenticity of this document, an internal newsletter called "The Vibe in Electronics." They state that running out of stock and not getting more shipments for a Target exclusive item is common. They also cement the fact that Sheik may be rare as there haven't been many shipments coming in at all, but Toon Link is in fact common.

Blizzard has delayed delivery of my Bowser and Toon Link from Best Buy by one day. They are at the post office in town but I don't believe we are having mail today. Got to be 18 inches on the ground.

I just looked at my in store pick up Shulk, and it says the same thing. I'm glad I decided to get one shipped, too, but Imma be annoyed if this one got canceled or something.

right? how can they just say that and not follow up with any details. and why just Marth? they didnt say anything about Villager. The good thing is it brought down eBay and CL prices if you cave and have to do that. It makes me think they are going to bundle him with that STEAM game or whatever.

Also give me my Wave 4 preorder opportunity NOA! It felt so nice getting new figures the past couple days. It had been a while.

Mine is closed too. I might call the number listed. You should too.

Same thing happened to me. I'm waiting in queue to talk to customer service and see what it means. Hoping it means they have been shipped to the store...
 
Finally found a store here in the Netherlands with wave 4 preorders, preordered lucina, robin and pac-man. Also my zelda finally arrived so now I have 3 amiibo to train ( zelda, marth and ike)
 
Do preorders for an entire Wave tend to go up at once? I have Gamestop and Amazon notifications with nowinstock.net set up for Lucina only, since I don't want 6 notifications coming in for all characters at the same time.
 
I submitted a mildly-pissed support ticket on the TRU website saying that this will be my 4th unfulfilled preorder if it gets canceled. That's not even counting the backup eBay order that's in limbo. Never buying from their website again! :D

He was available for pickup on 1/30 for preorder customers. Most stores also sold their extras that morning as well. Crazy stories about some people buying all at once or more than 1. You are probably referring to some stores selling their Lucarios early which was confirmed on here and Reddit. However I dont think that was widespread. If you didnt get one in store you are probably SOL there. Now there is conflicting information on whether online and eBay orders are going to ship.
