How much would it cost to ship an amiibo, within the US? I'm assuming USPS is the cheapest option. Going to sell my extra Rosalina to a GAFFer for cost plus shipping, but I don't really ship things often so I don't know what to expect.

I usually charge $20 for USPS First Class. That covers the cost of the amiibo, shipping, and shipping supplies.

I really hope the guy that came in my store this morning is not a gafer/amiibro. We had a couple Rosalina that people had on hold from before the release left over.

Since they didn't pick it up on the first we could sell them, however it is still 1 per person. I give him one to buy but it isn't good enough for him as he wants to buy another. He acts like he has more shopping to do but ends up getting the leader on duty instead to complain. While he was doing this, another couple came in and bought the other one that was on hold and it sold with him standing there.

He complains to the manager about stuff being held for people(which was given the Ok by another manager) and how he wants to buy two. Manager talks to me and I explain the situation and he apologizes to the guy and the guy is upset and gets on the phone. I'm sorry we are not able to sell this guy two but how he acted was incredibly ridiculous.

Side note: couple that bought the other one was really happy they were able to get it.

Sounds like the people that actually appreciated it got one.
 
Back from vacation, and the new thread is already 80 pages? Insane!

Gamestop called me and my Bowser is waiting for pick-up today. Hopefully the rest of Wave 3 hits soon. Hoping to talk to my friend today who works at Target, he said he'd grab me a Rosalina since I was going to be gone...here's hoping he was able to get one!
 
I went to my local Target which showed they had them in stock. No go unfortunately as they had one left and it sold mere minutes before I got there. :(

So if anyone has a second one they are willing to sell, please let me know.
 
To reiterate, I am looking to buy a US Rosalina. Would pay cost plus shipping, so roughly 20-$25. Please PM me if you are willing to part with one. Thanks.

I guess you didn't have any luck to get one yesterday? I thought you snatched one from target.com unless I was mistaken.

Just a heads up, if anyone has an extra Shulk or Meta Knight (whichever region, boxed or unboxed) .. or a pre order for Shulk or Meta Knight, I'll trade you Rosalina + Little Mac + Pit/Captain Falcon. Also have the rest of Wave 2 I can throw in ..

wait are you trading all of them for either shulk or metaknight?

Sounds like a scalper more than a gaffer or an amiibro
 
Are the people that are saying their Rosalina shipped from Target referring to the orders that they placed yesterday? If so, good on Target! They handled their exclusive a million times better than TRU.
 
So I went back to gamestop, gave them the phone number I used to make my ship to store order and it was in the system and ready for me to pay it off. I suggest others do the same, it doesn't matter that your online order says closed

Yep. Target.com already shipped their online orders. So for 40 min straight they had Rosalina on sale -- you could even buy up to 3. No site issues. Smooth. And they are shipping them already.

TRU was a joke.

I ordered online for in-store pickup, and I was able to walk into the store and pay it off. Did it last week for Shulk, even have the receipt in my pocket as we speak.

after seeing that my online order was "closed" like everyone else I went to the gamestop i had shulk for instore pickup and asked to pay it off. He looked it up and bam, i paid the $13.90 I owed on it and he told me I was good to go. I asked when I would be able to pick it up and he said he's pretty sure tomorrow...

That's good to hear! We're about to go to Gamestop to see about paying our Shulk off as well.

Anyone have any updates to their online order?
 
I'm feeling like my Amiibo set isn't complete unless I own the Euro & Japanese versions as well as the North American amiibos.

My Lucario is at status "Item(s) located in stock". Better ship soon >_>
Click to expand...

That means they're about to ship.

I ordered a 20 mega pack of Shopkins (don't even get me started, just as hard to come by as Amiibos) from Toys R Us and it said the same thing right before shipping.
 
Man Club Nintendo site running SLOW (if at all).

I have a PIT for anyone who wants to part with a large chunk of unused Club Nintendo codes. PM me for details! Thanks!

WUT THAT WOULD BE AMAZING
 
Wow, I checked my bank account and noticed there were two withdrawals from my account from Gamestop's website today, both the same price. There should only be one since the only amiibo I ordered was Ike, so I look on the website and lo and behold it shows me there are absolutely no orders tied to my account.

The joys of Amiibo.

The order page sucks. Did you try searching through the guest area? You just put in your email and then you'll see what should be in your order page

People are rushing for the physical items, which should sell out quick. The digital items will be there for a while, which is all I'll get.

Sucks I just want the bag. The digital line up for me is pretty bad.

Yep, the bag is the only thing worth it.

EDIT: For anyone that missed it last night, I accidentally deleted my Palutena avatar when I was making my friends avatar (forgot my Palutena was still on the deskstop so when i saved the same name on my PS it overwit it. Nooooo. If anyone saved it for any crazy reason, let me know).
