Wow, I wish I was lucky like that. The most that I got was an iPhone in a nightclub, but I gave it back to the owner.

where can I preorder?!@?

Many places, but I got mine here.

Yea they removed her trophy and that Bikini Censoring was the most pointless thing. Pokemon games have Swimming Trainers that reveal more >_>

Agreed, and the innuendo in some of the trainers (in the Maison, most of the time, IIRC) are quite high.

Jackpot? Will you contact Amazon and tell them they gave you too much?
 
So nobody else had their Shulk pre-order cancelled at Gamestop? Mine was for in-store pickup. I didn't receive any sort of notification, but when I went to check the order status on the website, it said it was "Closed." When I contacted customer service, they said they cancelled my pre-order because they didn't receive enough stock from the manufacturer.
 
Yeah, but they censured her trophy in Smash (I think?) and her bikini in the FE:A dlc for the west.
A hahaha oh Nintendo.









*Googles and oogles*

Thanks everyone for not being mad at me. You guys have been really nice. I wouldn't have picked my name if I knew the Waifu stuff was tied to it. Like I said, being a girl myself, I just loved Lucina because she's one of my fav female characters. I was shocked the name wasn't taken when I signed up. But I picked her because she's the chatacter I use the most and relate to.

Eh. It'll be fine. I got banned and got a sweet name out of it. Maybe Horizon will get one too.


I think that's when you know have an Amiibo problem. You draw and image and subconsciously pick the Amiibo colours.

Hi, I heard you didn't want that WFT and Villager. :P

How do you check that? I guess I'm gonna check while I'm at gamestop today.

Edit: I'm an idiot. Read your entire message again. WTF

I would still go down to your store with the order and check there.

Closed doesn't mean canclled for in store pick up. Means it will be ready for pick up soon. Go in store with your order printed out just to make sure. Also go put money down on your in store order. As it stands now it has zero $$ on it and won't take priority over in store pre orders with money down.
 
The lack of any tracking on my eBay TRU Lucario is annoying and the lack of a working tracking number on my TRU.com Lucario is frustrating...

Long story. Short version is TRU canned my online preorder. I had my wife go to the actual store and do a preorder there. Then a day or two later, they put 'em up on eBay so I bit (as a backup). But then they turned around and reinstated my original TRU.com order. So, long story short, I have two more Lucario coming.

That's odd. Are you sure you didn't forget you ordered them? Have you checked your order history?

I'd still hold on it. You might have gotten someone elses order and have to send it back.

My Lucario tracking number in the email didn't work because the link was to the ups tracking site but they sent it via FedEx. Try copying the tracking number and pasting it into google. Google is pretty good about figuring out what carrier the number is valid for.

Toss your TRU tracking number into FedEx. Tada!

EDIT: Sharkyshark pls
 
Pre-order in-store next time.

The online in store pick up option is kind of sketch as you don't put money down. If you do go this route, print out the order and go in store ASAP and make sure the order is in their system. Also put money down on it so that the order is like other pre orders (ordering online for in store pick up makes the order have no money down on it, so it takes less priority than other orders).

I would contact Amazon and tell them because it could be someone else's order. And with these being in high demand and low stock, it would be the right thing to do. Then again that's just me.

Ah i should be good. I preordered in store and put down the full value. I preordered a handful... dont even remember.
 
Ended up going to FYE yesterday and placing an in-store preorder for Lucina and Robin as they are the only amiibo from wave 4 that interest me. Was initially looking forward to trying to preorder them at Gamestop but given the hassle amiibo hunting has become, I figured the sooner my preorders were in place, the better.
 

Heh, thanks. This was Amazons screw up though, so I try not to tell people what they should or shouldn't do. I just know how high demand these are and how bad the stock is. And I've actually heard stories of Amazon.fr recently not shipping Rosalina out to orders. So if that was someone else's order I would feel bad.

Usually Amazon will tell you to keep things with their mistake though. And since this is an international order I don't know how tricky that is (or if its a hassle).

Ike is actually one of the easiest to get in the UK. Lucario isn't that hard either (it's still in stock at the nintendo uk store at any rate). Of course, WFT and Lil' Mac are rare, but still, 3 of those 4 boxes are full of commons.

If Amazon decides to bite the error and tells you to keep them...well.....I know a certain someone who really wants Ike =P

No, mine is cancelled too. I might be done with Amiibos. If I do decide to continue purchasing them I'm importing from Japan exclusively. I'm done with NOA's bullshit.
 
Amazon e-mailed me that my preorder of Ike amiibo from November 24 was still trying to be filled. If it can't be, they will cancel it on March 6.

So preorders mean nothing! :(

Mine as well.
 
Nice, looks like Amazon US is finally getting it together! Not only is Toon Link arriving tomorrow, Sonic is arriving on Friday. I hope I get a similar update about Mega Man soon...

Holy shit! If you don't need that Villager please let me get it from you. D:
 
My Amazon Toad even has the packaging art listed but it goes to Bowser.

I'm with you, if it was my order that was misplaced I'd be pretty bummed out. I would really appreciate it if someone made sure I got my stuff.
