So I'm in the US. Can I still get Shulk without a preorder?
Also I really want Lucina - is there a way I can get an email as soon as preorders come out?
 
Do we still post Canada amiibo updates here? (Been a while, I'm confused by multiple threads).

Anyways, EB Games with an update on Megaman and Sonic.

Yeah. This thread is all amiibos discussion. Not sure if they ever corrected it but we're not specially the U. S. Thread. Plus a number of Canadians still prefer this thread and considers this their home.

Right now, probably not since those that pre-ordered stillhhaven't gotten it yet. Your best bet is finding out when your nearest store gets the shipment in. And get there early and see if you can get one.
 
It's been a week since the 29th, which was the estimated time. It's been around 3 weeks now since it shipped.


Nope, "Informations de suivi non disponibles".
I contacted them today (check a page or two back) because I'm in the same "boat" as you (literally?). They said wait another week but if nothing by the 13th they'll resolve.
 
SHULK SHIPPED! (us gamestop). In my experience, with Gamestop, you always get ship to home or order right at the store. EVERY time I've ordered ship to store they've somehow screwed it up. So good luck to all you store shippers! I'm sure it's just me who has bad luck with it...

How long ago did you got email from GameStop?

Buying a ticket to NYC and camp out in front of the Nintendo World Store is probably your only shot at getting Shulk for the foreseeable future. And at that rate, you may as well just pay the scalper price.
 
My wife got her Walmart ordered Sheik in today. Great shape too. This one was one for us and its being kept and doted on because there is NO Sheik fans and we are pretty major Zelda folks.
 
So real talk: Assuming that all those amiibos are in stock on February 13th and you're buying a n3DSXL and possibly bringing home a Majora's Mask LE: How in the world are you going to carry all that back?

I remember last week I picked up my 6 amiibo which were held together by a elastic band and carried back home in a sizeable bag. I was just worried about not damaging the amiibo packaging on the way back. :<

Easy, bring a backpack or plastic bag.

If you go here http://www.nowinstock.net/videogaming/games/amiibo/ you can sign up and get alerts the moment Lucina preorders in the US go live. That's what I have done, since her and Robin are the last ones I want.

Who am I kidding, I'll preorder Ness too fi I can.
 
What the..? So I just got an email that my Shulk preorder has shipped from GameStop! But still no news about Sonic. I originally assumed that Sonic would be more common than Shulk, but I guess not?

well it's usually not a far walk from a store to the car
 
Unless you're in my case and have to walk because you have no ride and you're too close to take a bus... Gonna prepare myself next time if something like this happens again. :P

Ah. Backpack/bookbag? Maybe one of those luggage cases on wheels with the retractable handle?
 
My NWS haul:

Wasn't too bad when I got there about 3:15, there was a line of about 6 people or so, so I got in. I heard people talking about being glad they got there before the scalpers, lol.

Got to NWS at 5:20. Only toon link bowser and sheik left. :(
 
Anyone that can pick up an extra Shulk at NWS please let me know if you would like a trade and what you require. Thanks

Edit: Beat me to it by seconds^^^^^^ hahaha
 
I'm not complaining, since I'm a Sonic fan, but why is Sonic in demand right now?

Childhood classics attract a larger crowd. Even people that don't care for Amiibo for their gaming purpose might want a Sonic/Ness/Mega Man to reminisce back to the good ol' days.

Different region amiibos have the same functionality right?

From what I'm told yes. I haven't actually used one yet.

Absolutely yes, I have NA/JPN/EU Amiibo, all work the same. Only the boxes are different.

I heard they had WiiFit Trainers. I seriously wanna visit Nintendo World D:

If anyone has spare Shulk, Meta or King Dedede and are willing to trade for em let me know!

I have a spare Dedede preorder I was planning to set free into the retail wild. Send me a PM and we'll see what I can do.
 
So irritating that different retailers are getting different Amiibos at different times. I ordered Sonic, Mega Man, and Toon Link from Wal-Mart and I won't be getting them for a while. Also, the lack of preorders so far for Wave 4 is frustrating as well. Guh.
 
Looks like my Sheik and Sonic shipped from Amazon and will be here on the 10th.

I do have one concern about my Shulk pre-order with Gamestop, though. The couple of ones I have done ship to store have been fine and I got them. However, my grandmother just passed away the other day and so I will be traveling for her funeral and won't be around on the 13th to go get him. In fact, I won't be back until the evening of the 17th. So, that goes beyond their normal holding period. I will try to call them before I head out of town and explain the situation and hopefully they will hold him for me. Also, my MH4 LE new 3DS gets delivered while out of town, but at least I can have a neighbor grab it off my porch.

Toon Link shipped from Wal-Mart for me a couple days ago.
 
I'm with you brother. Have you check your bank charges? I'm getting charge from gamestop so I'm assuming I'm good for Shulk.

Checked my bank account and nothing. I do however see a charge for my Ike and Dedede order though, even though they told me that that one is delayed. Wtf?
