Ahh, Aoi gives me a Picard gif. About as perfect as it gets. <3
 
Lucario
Meta Knight
DeDeDe
Shulk

Then I am done until at least Wave 5. Oh boy. Why must I have rare tastes, and no pre orders?
 
Called my TRU store and they said they will be getting all wave 3 Amiibo except other retailer exclusives on the 13th.
NONE have been online preordered.
NONE have been in store preordered.

Basically, it's first come first serve. Let the madness begin lol I'll be there

Only wave 3 that matters Friday is Shulk.
And yes I've met my Shulk complaint quota for the day.

Huh, guess I'll be late to work that day...
 
I have him preordered lol so I'm not worrying about him atm. I want sonic and mega man bad though

I wish I didn't have to worry about my Shulk pre-order, but I can't help it since a Gamestop employee tried getting me to cancel my pre-order when I went to the store for the sole purpose of paying off my pre-order in full.

Despite the pre-order, I'm going to get to Gamestop as early as I can on the 13th to pick up Shulk.
 
Wait, I just realized something. Even though the listing for Toad disappeared on Amazon, they still charged me for the pre-order, and it's still in my orders, even though if I click on it, it just takes me to the regular Amiibo page, lacking Toad. Is my Toad pre-order still valid and will be fulfilled when Toad becomes listed again, or is this a glitch due to the Mario Amiibos being delisted, and my pre-order's been cancelled?

You are fine. As long as your order appears under your account, it is good.

But, Amazon shouldn't have charged you for a preorder though.

... Huh. Just double checked and forgot about a different purchase. Yeah, That's what took the balance off of my gift card, and Toad's still $0.00. My bad!
 
Has Best buy cancelled any Meta Knight orders? If not I think they might be avaliable online the day they come out like Rosalina. I'm no expert though.
 
Well, I just called the gamestop I preordered shulk at and they said it doesn't show any amiibos in transit for the 13th yet.
I'm hoping it will soon though.
They said the managers will be calling people as soon as they get them though
 
Ok Amiibros: Toshin, Jeff Vader, and skaflone721 (maybe, respond!)

I got your Lucario(s) packed up in nice new boxes with comic book backer boards on top and bottom to prevent rubs and air packs or other packing materials to prevent shifting. They are going out tomorrow (maybe tonight) USPS Priority. I will PM you tracking numbers.

In case you all arent checking your PMs: I need a response from you skaflone to confirm, Vader waiting on PayPal, and Toshin is good.

Sorry to spam everyone else but I wanted to try and contact skaflone here and show them the goods! Maybe it will encourage more helping too ha

Where did the FYE dates come from? I have DeDeDe, Ike, and Mega Man preordered there, I'd really love for it to be the case that I can get two of them tomorrow
 
Damn disposable income...I've started on DI figures without even having the game, just to feed the collecter within me. I've started with Donald and Mickey (was gonna get the crystal one but the standard one is a fiver on amazon and I'm more traditional). I really want the Aladdin set when that comes to the UK too.

Does a gamestop store get credit for online preorders set to store pick up? Seems like they want people to preorder in store so it helps their score or whatever.

It took them like 10 minutes and multiple people to get mine paid mine off in store. Felt like they didn't want to do it.
 
Sonic already hasso many figures its hard to justify searching for his amikbo plus its adventure sonic not classic bleh
 
Man, this is such a nightmare.

Three Targets, two Gamestops, and a Best Buy today... the only Wave 3 I could find is a Bowser. This is in Overland Park, KS.

Snagged the Bowser, but I don't think I'm gonna have any luck at all with the others, unless the stores are just late getting them out. I guess I could try Walmart, but everyone seems to think they have the worst selections.

Mario (own)
Marth (own)

Of the ones I don't own or have ordered I just want a Pikachu. I'll be going shopping today so will pick him up if I see one, if not will order one online when I get home.
 
They've been out in Australia for quite a while. Not everyone is from NA

Alright, easy. No one was assuming that. People just want to be sure they didn't miss their chance at getting their hands on amiibo they don't have yet, that's all.
 
I would like to point out and thank everyone for the current pace of the thread. I feel it is at a nice pace now where I don't feel overwhelmed every time I visit. A little off topic never hurt anyone but this place was a mad house and I pretty much removed myself from participating. I now feel like I can catch up and and that most the posts are pretty on topic or at least entertaining. This is not a shot at anyone. I just wanted to say thanks because this is my favorite thread and I really felt uncomfortable (my problem not anyone elses i know) posting and keeping up the last month. I like posting the information I find or helping out others in getting rare figures. Posts are not getting buried anymore and I think that is for the best.

Here is an update I what I have done with my figures. I no longer have my large upstairs man cave since I moved and downsized. So this is my living room and my wonderful wife fully supports my collecting and gaming/comic book themes. I used the steps that people have been putting in the Ikea stand but just placed them on my speakers. Not too bad but I may have to get a couple more when the net waves come.
