Quick questions, I ordered toad from gamestop but I don't usually use them. Can someone else pick up an order I placed? Also, if I need to cancel the order will I be able to?

No, they'll hold your preorder for 48 hours after they get it in the store, and they'll call you once a day at the phone number you provided when you preordered and leave voicemails to let you know that you need to come pick it up. (If you don't pick it up after 48 hours, though, they will indeed put your Amiibo out on the floor for anyone to buy.)

Yes, you'll be able to cancel if you need to. You can get your money back or put it toward something else (GameStop would prefer the latter, of course, heh).

Gamestop pickup requires your ID so I don't think someone else can pick something up for you.

Depends on the store. Usually receipt or power up card is fine. Some stores check for ID, but none of the ones i've been to have ever ID'd me. I just give them my name, phone number, and what item i preordered (and casually mention how much I put down, to confirm it). Never been carded.

I actually did way better than I thought I would! Not sure what happened at the beginning of our second match. I thought I lost my network connection, but it came right back. Good match!

Call your store, tell them the situation. It helps if you pay it off ahead of time, so they know you're good for it. They're human beings, too. They might be willing to bend the rules for you. When I worked at gamestop we had NO problem holding stuff for people. If we got an order from our DM to sell it, we'd just ring it through and hold it in the back until they came to pick it up (assuming they paid it off in full). Yeah, we bent the rules, but that's because we wanted happy, returning customers.

Hell, the gamestop near me know me on a first name basis. They let me preorder a game for 30 bucks, and as soon as the Wave 4 amiibo go up in the system, they'll split the 30 bucks into 6 $5 preorders for all of Wave 4, without me even having to go into the store. Are they supposed to, or allowed to do that? Nope, but they're hooking me up anyway.
 
I see there is some kind of tourney going on, any way to join in or is it all locked up now? Been awhile since I played with gaffers.

Really? They wouldn't even look up or let me pay off my pre-orders without my ID, name and phone number.
 
So I called three local gamestops. The first one said the 13th is a tentative schedule and they are waiting on Nintendo for a definite stock count. The second store said yes 13th and when midnight rolls they can selll Amiibos but pre-orders only. The third said they are releasing on the 14th...

What is happening on these dates, exactly?

edit: oh, shulk?
 
TheWorthyEdge and Drago are using the same ID, correct? So we have to do one at a time.

pete_clarf vs. TheWorthyEdge in the LOSERS bracket.
Namagem vs. Drago in the WINNERS bracket.
 
I think I'm going to cancel all my Mario series preorders, including Toad.

Just gonna get the Smash ones I want and stop there, barring characters I really like, will prob get some Zelda, Animal Crossing and Pokemon ones when they do the inevitable lines there.

Whoa, midnight release for pre-orders? I wonder how many stores are doing that.
 
What does
"Unable to deliver - Please contact local Post Office to pick up or reschedule delivery"
Mean exactly? This is on the tracking for my Lucario Amiibo from TRU, via FedEx.
 
So...I went back to the store...

Man, Bowser might just be my favorite Amiibo yet.

Looks like Shulk is set to drop on the 13th?

I can't wait to make due on my pre-order. :D

Getting giddy over here.
 
Managed to buy an extra Sheik, Toon Link, and Fox today - if anyone's interested, PM me since I only want to keep one of each to actually use.

Cheers.

Also - I don't even want to play against you all because it would be a sad sight. GAF would destroy me. :-D
