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

Pretty small, think gamestop only has enough to fulfill preorders.

I know of a local gamestop that had a 1 preorder per day policy (northern NJ, US), but for example one of the scalpers got 64 of them as he went everyday with his family, so he had his daughter, son, and wife order one each day as well.
That sucks, I doubt I can walk in and buy one at this point.

I'd be willing to trade the one I pre-ordered when it gets here if you've got a Fox (or if you can find a Dedede, or Gamecube games?). I've never even played Xenoblade; just bought one because I just got caught up in the hype of limited exclusives
I don't have these rare amiibos either. :/
Shulk is really the only one I want.
 
Pre-ordered at GameStop a few days ago, walk in on a release date that was set months ago and picked up Jasmine.

Nintendo, it's not that hard :(
 
So I caved and went and bought my first Amiibo (Link) Before I was like "nah i'm not interested" "no way those will be worth it"

And now? yeah I want moar!
 
You better not tempt me to collect those with all this fantastic and love talk! My wallet is so empty as it is!

They're pretty good. I just went with the Avengers and GOTG myself. Hulk's personally my favorite, so hefty.

The head size difference is so noticeable though, but it makes the eye applications much better on the human faces.
 
Edit: Beaten, disregard.

So the latest survey about Nintendo's social media also has a question about amiibo hidden away.


All the current amiibos are listed there. Perhaps this is NoA listening to which amiibos we want? The problem is that it says "which ONE is your favourite?" Also asks if you see amiibos as a collectible, an item to enhance your gameplay or both. Then you can type out your impressions.

I'd take this as a chance to make your grievances known.

:(

Anyways, I think Gamestop just charged me for Shulk and Ike! Here's to hoping everything goes smoothly. I'm not gonna be able to relax until I get a perfect Shulk in my hands.
 
Looks like my Gamestop preorders for Shulk, Dedede, and Mega Man are now listed as closed. Does that mean I can pick them up in store today (they have never contacted me to let me know a preordered item is available)?

I hope I'm wrong, but I think that means something you won't be happy about. Someone please correct me?
 
Considering I have yet to receive a shipping notification from TRU regarding Lucario I have to assume my order was cancelled.
E-mailed support a bit ago but have yet to hear back from them. I'm in Ontario so I will be on the look out Friday, thanks again to whoever mentioned the date above.

Still need to find a Shulk for part of my gf's Valentine day present.

It just means they got transferred to the store, since he did instore pickup. Doesn't mean they're available at the store, but it's just in the store's responsibility and not online's responsiblity at this point.

Sorry bud, I gotta jump on the Disney Infinity train too. They are really nice high quality figures. You think Bowser has some weight to him? Ha! Go to the store and pick up Venom, Hulk, or Ralph. Now those are heavyweights!

And one of my favorite small things about the DI figures are their bases. Each franchise has a differently designed base that isn't so obtrusive that they still look great on display together. So for example Anna and Elsa both have snowflakes, the Pirates have ship planks, even Jack Skellington (who has no other NBC figures :( has his own base designed to look like the iconic curly hill. I wish Nintendo would have done something more like this for the different titles. I mean they already have little logos made for different titles in the game!

Damnnnn she looks awesome. I think I need to go get her and Aladdin now!
Yeah I think DI figures look fantastic. Loving all of my Marvel ones a lot.
Agreeing with this as well. Just started collecting some of the Guardians figures and they're amazing. Also, completely hassle free to get.

Nintendo is doing the same. Mario Party 10 figures have different bases than Smash.
 
Welp, the guy from Twitter wasn't lying. I was in the Toys 'R' Us near West Edmonton Mall, and the cashier said two fat teenagers bought every Rosalina, every Ike, every Dedede, every Sonic, and every Mega Man in the store. I really hope they aren't GAF members.
 
My Shulk order still says "Open". I chose to have it shipped to my place and not to the nearest store. don't know if that means anything

Damn scalpers... Don't they have other things to do...
 
I wonder how the scalpers are going to feel for selling off all the rosalinas for 30~ dollars and then they become super rare and go for much much much more

The ones selling Sheik will probably be hit worse if the talk around her is true. Little Mac V2?

Scalpers are so unscrupulous.

Wait, Mega Man is already out in Canada!?
Blerghhhhh
 
Burlington Ontario - guy at Toys r Us told me two jerks bought everything as well, he wasn't working so couldn't limit quantities. I imagine Oakville is the same but didn't check.
