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.

Our catalog has been awful for a long time as well, we used to have the Game and Watch DS games and Ball game. But everything else we got that was awesome was too low in supply for the normal people to get even hardcore fans like myself couldn't get the Luigi's Statue or Kirby Medal.

Also for MM we only got one of these:

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.

I'd guess that Charizard is much much more popular than Lucario.

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.

It shouldn't matter who you are, nobody should be treated like that. I am so sorry for all this ridiculousness. AmiiboGAF isn't about this. How can people actually send rude PMs about any of this? They shouldn't even be in AmiiboGAF. We're a community, and as such should stop ridiculing each other.

Thank you very much for letting us know and we would love for you to stay. Don't listen to any stupid messages you get. We're here for you. :]

Don't forget to PM me if you want to be added to the AmiiboGAF community spreadsheet in the first post!

I'm glad to have that out of the way. But like I said earlier there is absolutely no reason for you to feel bad about this.

You know, if the port strike really is to blame for all this, and they do manage to clear it up and straighten everything out...are there unopened containers out there with wave 2 and 3 amiibos just waiting to be shipped out? Boy would that change the NA market.
Click to expand...

I wouldn't doubt it , i have been aware of the port strike since November. That was 3 months ago and from what the news is covering , the shipping crates are stacked to the brim in fact there's so little room the cargo ships are being diverted to other ports.Its at the point where any hope of fixing this in an orderly fashion is obsolete ,there's a ridiculous amount of merchandise stranded on the west coast and non one knows when it will be fixed.

I'm not sure why it's a thing. He is he, you are you. You should be free to post whenever you want, about whatever you want. And you should be valued for what you have to offer, not who you are connected to in real life. I find value in your posts and excitement for amiibo. I found value in Azula, as well. Be free here. Hopefully, everyone will let you.
 
I don't think folks need to stress too much over these delay notices. I think all it means is that they don't know when these particular figures are coming in yet, which is what we've already known for a while now. Stress if you got a flat out cancellation though.

Go to the Nintendo Store in the UK, but you can't send it to America I'm a member of the Turbo Club in Video Games Awesome and an awesome bud of mine is sending it to me when its shipped...I of course paid for it.
 
I haven't goten any thing from Gamestop yet, I placed some preorders online to pick up in store in december.

Guess I'll have to hit up Toys R Us and find out what is up with that Lucario I preordered. Maybe I'll grab a Toon Link too if they have one.

I'm sorry, I've tried my best to just ignore this whole situation since I don't feel it has anything to do with the actual finding and collecting of Amiibo - but it is like every day that this whole situation is literally thrust in my face. I'm getting tired of it all, not directly calling you both out, but these posts saying "sorry for X/Y/Z" are derailing more than 'helping' recenter the conversation... Can we all just focus on Amiibo?

Hey honestly I hope you don't go it's been awesome getting to know Azula and we seem to have alot in common. Hope you two have a wonderous trip :) and arrive all safe n sound. I'll be dropping a few lines to him via email also feel free to respond also!
 
So originally I wanted about 5 of the Amiibos. Then I read how hard they were to get and figured just in case I decided I wanted more, then get them now. So I grabbed all of wave 1 except villager and trainer. Standing in line my wife said "Just get those two as well. You know you will want them all." So now I have my OCD screaming "Gotta catch em all!" I have all of them reserved and paid for that I havent gotten but every day I stress a little more about cancellations and missing the next batch reserve.

This is why there are problems I think. Nintendo hoped Amiibo would do well but needed to make sure they were frugal so as not to take a bath if they failed. They didnt account for our fanboy, collector mindset kicking in. They taught us "gotta catch em all" with Pokemon but didnt account for the carry over. So now everybody wants every Amiibo and they are strapped for supply.

They had a production plan and it wasnt enough. I am sure they are dying to take our money but its been less than 3 months. They cant just flip a switch to crank more Amiibos out. Now if we get a year in and they havent adjusted release and shipping numbers we can throw out the "Dicked me over" flag. Till then though I completely understand what happened and just have to suck it up.

That being said all the shit lords buying up a bunch and scalping need to die in a fire. They are the ones that should get the hate.

Thats only my personal view and opinion though.

It is a soap opera in here. I rarely post anymore. The pages move to fast with off topic conversation. I feel there should be a separate community forum for people to engage in. I would love for this thread to be about relevant information so I can find it when I visit. I go through pages just to find updates. I have not seen another thread like this on GAF. I know a lot like it but it wears me out. Sorry just being o
honest.I will slip away and hope for normalcy ha.
 
So I gotta know, am I the only weirdo that is keeping the boxes of the Amiibos that he opens. I don't know why but ever since the N64 days I can't throw Nintendo stuff away.
 
Did anyone else order a Toon Link from goHastings last week? I don't know if they even send out shipping notifications but I thought I would ask just in case.

...weird confirmation. Why would you keep the boxes if you opened them? I know for some unknown reason people love to keep stuff in boxes, but after you opened them....?
 
IS THIS REAL LIFE?!
Just refreshed the BB Fox page and he was available for shipping again.
Apparently my order went thru for 2 foxes..........

*waits for them to cancel it* -_-
haha reeeeally hope I get them though.

Good lord. I never had a stake in this and tried to ignore the drama, but this is seriously just ridiculous. People need to just learn to let shit go. It doesn't matter who you are. You have a GAF account, you like collecting Amiibos, and you've been kind/courteous. It doesn't matter, it never mattered, and it never will matter what your afiliation is with Azula.

Glad to hear he's doing well, and welcome. People should just drop it and talk about Amiibos already. This is nobody's business but yours.
 
Just got an email saying King Dedede is expected on 2/20.
Anyone else got any other Amiibo updates?

Edit: Mega Man, Ike, and King Dedede on 2/20 then.

I've kept all the cardboard backs, in case I want to do something "arty" with them. The plastic bits go straight in the trash.
