Amiibo Thread 3 | Where release dates are made up and preorders don't matter!

I don't understand not opening them... they're toys!

I stood in line outside Target and bought my daughters (they have to share) a Rosalina when they came out. The opened it up within minutes and she was playing with the other Amiibos in their dollhouse and train sets.

My wife told me I was crazy for letting them play with such an expensive toy.... but it's a TOY!

Eh? Amiibo is an expensive toy? Show her the Elsa dolls that had limited release last year
 
It's probably already known, but my Metaknight order updated to 2/20/15 ship date.

Yeah I just got this email too. Now the question will they even ship it. Fingers crossed I know a lot of people over in the Majoras Mask LE thread are getting Best Buy cancelations two days before release. Bummer
 
Bleh, not too impressed on the paint job on the sword's blade, but otherwise, Ike looks rather good. Thought he kind of had a "derp" face going on at first, but at a second glance, it's not bad.

As for Dedede WOW is he impressive. There's a small gold spot on the white part of his coat, near the thumb on his left hand (guessing the paint chipped or it wasn't painted on or something), but otherwise, he feels nice & heavy. Easily top 3 made amiibo thus far.

Next week when I get Sonic & Mega Man (no idea on Meta Knight, hoping to get lucky with with Shulk & Rosalina and order him online), then I'll finally take a picture of my updated collection, after doing some rearranging.

I know, it's so pristine in the box. I might be getting a cubicle job so I figure they'll make nice decorations.
 
Got me, but money may be better spent on one of the other 5 rares from the first 2 waves since there has been no word at all about them coming back.

Also there is JP Marth up on amazon with prime shipping for $29.99, so would go with that.

Good find, go with that.
 
So far, so good. Glad I no longer have to worry about retailer exclusive crap (until the next wave)

Stopped into GameStop, asked if there were any new shipments this week. He said they got a box each of Sheik and Toon Link in, but they all sold already. My Ike/DDD/Sonic/Mega Man pre-orders are still yet to come.

After that I stopped into Wal-Mart to get something else, but I always walk by the games section. And I was shocked to see this:

Bowser, Luigi and Zelda at the bottom! This was the first time ever that my Wal-Mart has had anything other than Wave 1 commons. It felt like seeing Marth or Villager at any other store lol. It was nice to see. I think it's safe to say that those of us here will never again find a new amiibo we don't already have at a Wal-Mart, but I'm happy to see they haven't abandoned them entirely. Just probably gonna be ultra commons there though, and later than every other store.
 
Is there any place we know of to import a Shulk at a reasonable price?

Importing from Japan would be about 30 dollars total including shipping I think.

Nippon-Yassan, Nin-Nin Games, Play Asia all had him. Don't know about Amazon Japan.

I think Germany is probably a good bet too.
 
I'm worried about getting Meta-Knight since I didn't pre order. Any info on if Best Buy will have some extra on the shelves?

A friend of mine who works at BB said that they received 5 to sell. The photo that AmiiboNews shared earlier looks like there were 6. Get to BB early!

Seems to be unavailable everywhere at the moment. Guess I've just got to be patient for now.
 
They didn't hold them or did they cancel the pre-order? I would try contacting the district manager and see if it can be fixed.
He had preorders for both. Both were sold. The manager didnt refund his preorder because he is going to try to get him his preorder... not likely at all.
 
Remember earlier today when Gamestop had Shulk orders available for 5 seconds? ... I magically somehow got one in those 5 seconds... and I just got the Shipping confirmation a couple minutes ago!
 
Damn, had the chance to order that Shulk from GameStop earlier but I spent an extra minute to debate it and lost the opportunity.That'll haunt me for a while but at least I've learned my lesson. Order first, ask questions later.
 
Is DeDeDe set to release tomorrow or Friday?
Depends. My Meijer had Dedede, Ike, Mega Man, & I think Sonic (I didn't request him when the employee was taking them out of the box), while it seems that some GameStop are getting him next week when Sonic & Mega Man arrive. I think Toys R Us are getting him this week?

Crap. I was thinking of MetaKnight and said DeDeDe. Never mind.

Grandville Meijer had those too, didn't buy em as I have preorders but yea

Meta Knight is the 20th. I'm seriously hoping there'll be a quick period to which we can order him online. That's been the only way I was able to get Rosalina & now Shulk.

Thank goodness I don't care for Lucario, even if he is considered rare.
