So if the 13th is set as "Amiibo day" along with all the other Nintendo releases it's gonna be hell. You got MH4U, New 3DS XL's (thanks Reggie), Zelda. Yup, looking forward to that.

Going to be madness. Guess I'll be spending my birthday morning lined up at GameStop and or making a mad dash elsewhere if I can't get a Mega Man or Ike.

Well at least you got them so that's a good thing. Though what if the guy that was supposed to put the key there was actually supposed to be him. Usually it's the same guy delivering the mail. Maybe from time to time it's another but usually it's the same guy. At least for me.

It might've been him I'm not sure lol. I've definitely seen at least 3 different people delivering mail so I can't tell for sure. But when I made that joke I made sure he knew I was kidding but in my mind I was really serious!

I wouldn't blame you. Everyone was up in arms and were working to help you resolve the problem yesterday and then a day later you find out that it was safely delivered after all. You just never had access to the delivery

Why do you guys keep torturing me with all this doom Mega Man talk? :( Believe, damn it! BELIEVE!

Wait. Why is Mega Man doomed?
 
Well, I almost can't believe it. But after everything TRU put me through, they finally came through and got this guy in my hands at last!

Possibly February 13th since that was the rumored Shulk push back date?
Click to expand...

My Shulk pre-orders have said 2/13 for a while now.

Thanks to the posters who replied to be waaaaay back like 20 pages again. I won't worry about my pre-order unless I get a cancelled email then; I guess that just means hey they're on their way.
 
Soul Beat said:
But where's Lucina, damn it! D:<
Click to expand...

Lucina is so conflicting for me. I'm excited to see her go up so I can pre-order her and get it over with. At the same time, I don't want to buy too many amiibos too close together and therefore want a later date.

Congrats. Why does Lucario have a plastic support?
 
I don't understand why NoA seems to think the best way to release things is to release them in clumps instead of, you know, spacing things out.
 
I will do anything for Mega Man and Sonic Amiibo. ANYTHING.

Okay, not anything. But some things. Totally legal things. Maybe slightly illegal.

So how accurate is GS' stock checker on their site? Better than brickseek's Target one?

EDIT: Nvm, I guess it's very accurate. TIL.
 
Neo Dark said:
No what I'm saying is. If you look at the bottom of that article. You'll notice there's a link pointing to NeoGAF because that's where they got the info from. When someone says GAF -> Internet -> GAF it means it was posted on NeoGAF first. Then some other site took it. And then someone posts said site back onto NeoGAF

Oh you are correct sorry about that I'm new and didn't look thoroughly and got excited, now I know lesson learned thank you :)

That's what I love about this community, everyone cares enough to do something like that. Wasn't sure if I would even accept offers cause I was dreading the thought of it happening again. Glad everything turned out ok! Hopefully the mailman(s) don't forget keys in the future. :P

Man, they don't call you Mr Nice Guy for nothing, do they?

I'll be looking on the 13th too, but all I have around is Meijer (it's like Walmart) and GameStop. If you found an extra I'd be thrilled, and if I find my own I'm sure someone on here would buy it from you.

Haha I actually picked that name off the top of my head, but I try! Sure I'll keep an eye out for you.

Blue Namagem said:
Any chance you could pick up a Mega Man for me too, pleeease? Kind of a big fan here, some in this thread would say. I'd love to get my Mega Man early!

What would you want in return, if you're willing to help me out?
Click to expand...

I couldn't tell haha. I'll definitely keep an eye out for you as well, I think my store has a 1 per customer limit, but I'll see what I can do! I have no idea what I'd want in return, Little Mac or Capt. Falcon would be cool. But we can hammer out the details if and when we get lucky enough.
 
Busaiku said:
You can get them from Amazon.fr or Amazon.de.
Click to expand...

You know, you are right. See, in the past I've always imported all my Amiibos. But since everyone got their Amiibos delayed, I figured since Amazon.de and .fr were delayed with NA, I should just try to get them in a NA store. You know?

Cuz often I've found importing amiibos has meant getting them sooner. But I figured since they were the same release. But maybe I don't want to take that risk. I should just go order them now and secure it.
 
Lucina said:
I didn't know that. I always made sure to call the store first, assuming GS tracker wasn't always 1:1 right.

But now I know.
Click to expand...

It's still always best to call first regardless. It could be a case where someone else called first to have them hold or whatever. I've seen it be off before, too, but for the most part it's pretty good as far as I have seen.
 
Have you guys had a better experience with Amazon.fr or .de? Or do all Amazon shops the same. In the past I've imported on Amazon.fr and was happy.

Amiibos print money. They want the momentum going. Plus, the sooner they finish Smash Bros. The sooner they can start Pokemon!

It's fine. Nothing to be sorry about. It happens quite often. Plus you learned what GAF -> Internet -> GAF means and it definitely is something to get somewhat excited about
as long as it's a Club Nintendo reward >.>

SUPER MARIO AMIIBO's preorders up on Gamestop!

just got two toads!

I really wish the Toad Amiibo was Captain Toad. I would have been all over that!

Did anymore info come out of Best Buy possibly getting a shipment of Meta Knights today? I know there was speculation that a release date might show up with the boxes in store.

In some Gamestops, it's actually a case where whoever is taking inventory in the back actually gets the inventory tracker updated before the people answering the phones even know items are in stock.

Good information to know. Thank you so much Toki. :D
 
Got Bowser and Toon Link today :D Took their time dispatching, but pretty happy with them! Bowser is surprisingly heavy compared to the other amiibos and Toon Link pretty cool tunic texture.

Looking forward to later this month for Shulk, Sonic and Megaman!

Got two Mega Man coming and one Sonic (one Mega Man I'll give to my friend, his birthday is coming and he said that he loved the blue bomber amiibo). I guess having friends pay off after all.

I wish I could photoshop the amiibos here.
 
MADGAME said:
Wow, nice. Fill us in, did you take the tactful approach or did you rip him a new one? Hopefully it was the former!
Click to expand...

Well the staff in store said there was nothing they could do. But I've had issues with items they had no supply in store of before and knew what to do.

Called the EB support line. Told them what's up and they sent a request to the district manager and then he just called me back today. Put the call in on Monday. So took about 2 days.

Hopefully it's not even worse or the box is damaged!
