I believe it just means that the order has been transferred to the store -- the item can still be delayed, but you won't get the automated notification because it's treated like a site preorder now.

As soon as I saw you post these I checked my emails immediately and nada.
I have all these figures paid off and set for in-store pickup. Are yours for shipping?

What a royal screw up this is.
All shipping to home...
Holy crap, what the fuck is Nintendo's problem? This is ridiculous.

Nope sorry friend, I did mine in-store.

I bet these port strikes are still screwing up distribution.

Yeah those are the ones having issues.

Damn. I have to go to GameStop tomorrow night anyways. May as well double check on the status of my preorders. The only one I'm super concerned about -- since they're the only retailer carrying him -- is Shulk.
Well there is one... I'm quite a bit miffed here... Hopefully TRU comes through... geez...
I wouldn't doubt that possibility at all , i expect either these Special Mario Variants as Nintendo World exclusives or R.O.B. to pay homage to the NES deluxe bundle that launched in NYC back in the day.

Why are people mad at Reggie? How much power over this do you think he has?
Basically, the backup is causing logistical issues that could end up being almost impossible to resolve in any orderly fashion. Containers being stacked up to the point that no more can come in, ships being stuck without anywhere to unload their cargo...
This talks about how things are going, and it's not pretty: http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/02/05/us-usa-ports-west-idUSKBN0L904W20150205

Went into Gamestop today to try and order the Toad Amiibo. There weren't any listed as available on their website, but by going into the store I was able to order 2. They only had 5 available for pre-order at my store and the estimated shipping date is 3/20 in their system. The clerk said it was listed with an SM tag in the system, if that helps.
Hmmm. This brings back nightmarish flashbacks of the "The Great TRU Cancellation."
I was reading the thread and people were talking about receiving the cancellation emails from TRU for wave 3. I felt bad for everyone but didn't put two and two together. Than I had a spit take moment, WAIT A SEC, I HAVE PREORDERS AT TRU!! I opened my email and the cancellation notices came pouring in.
I'm gonna go curl up in a corner now
He's probably second to Iwata, so a lot?

Agreed.
Sry guyz. EU, AU, NZ and CA are special!!m Let's send them ALL there first and then dump some leftovers in the US.... if any are left.
(They couldn't just do small shipments for each region at the same time?)

I haven't heard anything about GameStop canceling my order. I have just sonic preordered for ship to store(already paid off) and reserved in store($5) down.

I got a back up order with Walmart. So I hope they come through.

What baffles me is how regions are covering pre-orders AND gettig an influx of extras. Shouldn't they cover global pre-orders first and then pump out extras?
I hope so.
I heard of the port strike a while back, i assumed things were going to be cleared up in the coming days , i was way off.This is insane , i now see why many believe the port will face an economic collapse . most of the ships are being re routed to other ports, many in Canada from what i hear.
So if it gets settled, I suppose that there will suddenly be a deluge of amiibo stock in stores? Including Rosalina, that was "initial shipment only"? Boy, those resellers are gonna be screwed.

However, TRU made good on those cancellations. At least for me it was a success.

We've been shat on for so many years. I mean honestly this EU turn around is huge. An even then it's still steps behind. Our catalogue has sucked hard. We don't even have platinum status and have had Club Nintendo since 2001. EU in general is often getting shafted. Keep in mind at least you guys can buy your Majoras Mask LE.
Port strikes?

So is that how Canada received shipments were from them docking in Van? I figured they would have to go through the US first (then again, ate the packages billingual?)
Your right but what if he ends up being a retailer exclusive here in North America? i have a feeling ToysRUs is going to try to obtain all the future Pokemon characters as exclusives , this was mentioned a while back but apparently there is a common theme in each amiibo wave and this could possibly be one.
Use Google chrome (auto translate ) and then keep a translate window open so you can type and send French. That's what I did. Had an entire conversation with a French csr despite knowing no French. It was a cool experience. What a world we live in.
Fwiw, they apologized for the delay and said to give it through the 7th. If I haven't received by then, they said to contact them again

Seconded.
UUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH, that would explain why my GS had no idea as to when they were getting more amiibo. That port strike or whatever seriously needs to get taken care of.
I swear, it feels like "Well you think collecting these is hard enough? WHY NOT MAKE IT EVEN MOORRREEE DIFFICULT?!"

Hi everyone.
I was contacted by an admin over my account. And after the multiple PMs I got yesterday from people asking me. So I'll just get this out of the way. I am in fact Azula's fiance Olivia. Brent/Azula is taking a break to focus on his mental health and our engagement and Japan trip. But as you all know, I've always been an avid Amiibo collector. I was the one who got him into it. Azula is actually doing great in real life. Although each day is a struggle for him emotionally, and being on here (or the internet in general) was starting to take a toll. He wanted to take a break and have some privacy.
But he knew I wanted to post here. That I wanted to at least continue Amiibo collecting, since I got us into it. So he contacted an admin and asked if I could have an account created. The stipulation was that if his account was closed out, we could make me one. Which was fine, because he wanted to take a break. We had sorted this out with this admin. But for some reason, people kept poking and prodding. I have no idea why you guys thought we were the same person, as my writing style is way way different. The only thing i guess sort of similar, is that we both talk a lot. But I also write for a living, so talking a lot is what I do. So enough attention was being brought up, when I all I wanted to do was just post in peace.
Maybe we made the wrong decision by not speaking up about it. But I didn't want cause him stress. And he didn't want people defining me or bothering me because of him. So it made sense to just keep it to ourselves. I didn't think it mattered. But after being contacted by someone on the staff over it (and clearing it up), I figured it was best to just tell people.
I don't know what is expected of me. If I have to post my drivers license. Or prove I have a vagina. The whole thing is kind of strange to me. I never thought I would be questioned so much over it or that so much would be put on it. But I think it's best if I just don't post here again. I don't want to derail the thread or bring anymore attention on me and Azula then needs be.
If anyone wants to be my friend, great. My fiance has talked at great lengths about some of you, and is very fond of some people here. If you need to talk to him, he told me to have you guys email him at : azulagaf@gmail.com
Sorry again for any trouble I've caused. I meant no harm. This was already dealt with by the staff, but I guess I caused a bunch of problems by posting too much. I'm sorry.
- Olivia.
EDIT: For the record, the staff has been nothing but kind and gracious. My line about providing proof wasn't aimed at them.

Now that you mention it, didn't those wave 3.b figures in Canadian Toys R Us's appear on the west coast? Hmmm....
Profit, There was a article about nintendo saying they were creating just enough supply to sell through and not have much left so they would have a profit. This is coming at the expense of people obtaining the actual product though.
But barely any one could.

So what are the big updates?
I was away for a couple hours.
Gamestop is cancelling preorders?
Any news on that silver and gold Mario?
