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

My two Shulks came in, and boy do they look glorious. I was amazed at the paint jobs, to be honest, since they appear to be perfect -- when I've seen a lot of simpler amiibos with some glaring errors.

Opened one. Perhaps the other will remain sealed for all time.
 
So are these things actually going to be worth something in the future? I see the toon link is already like 23 bucks on amazon. I'm not buying them for that reason. I just kinda want something dumb/cool to collect.
 
I'm sure it's been mentioned, the Mario series Amiibos are up for Pre-order at Best Buy! I am so glad that I didn't freak out that they all disappeared when they went up the first time.

I got Toad, Peach, and Yoshi! :D
 
Grandville Meijer had those too, didn't buy em as I have preorders but yea
Yeah, I got lucky with mine as I was just about to head out & an employee asked me if I needed anything, just said I was doing my regular amiibo check. He asked who I was looking for, then went behind the counter & it turned out they didn't even open the box of the new shipment, so I was able to get the first ones.

I also got Mega Man, but since I'm sure I'll snag him at GameStop when I get Sonic, I'm sending him to a friend in Canada.

Wait, how's everyone managing to get a Shulk?! I thought they were supposed to be rare.
Some of us got lucky & managed to place an order online during the quick time window.
 
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.
I'm in the same boat. I don't care about Lucario, but really want MetaKnight and DeDeDe. I missed out on the preorder for MK, so I'm really hoping Best Buy has a few available to order.

Shulk should be. Unless Xenoblade Chron X sells crazy well
 
I went into my local GameStop today and saw a fat stack of Shulks behind the counter. All pre-order only, of course. I would've most likely bought one on impulse and I don't even want Shulk. I'd name him ShulkHogan if I did.
 
Grandville Meijer had those too, didn't buy em as I have preorders but yea

Ugh, I was JUST by there today but decided not to stop by on the way home. Now I regret it. I really want an Ike. :( Maybe I'll get lucky and I'll find one when I go out with my sister on Friday.
Who am I kidding, I probably won't. D:
 
I got Shulk today!!

Friday I get to pick up Sonic! And then next Friday I get Mega Man, Meta Knight, Dedede, and Ike!!!

So glad Meta Knight is coming out then, too, at Best Buy.


I just need Rosalina.
 
My Shulk also just came in from Gamestop. He looks fantastic!

Best. Amazon. Delivery. Ever. <3

Mega Man looks SO GOOD! He's definitely one of the best-looking amiibo yet - I love that they used glossy paint for his hands, feet, helmet, and buster!

That mariotehplumber guy must be a lonely, sad little imp of a man-child that writes his name on the apple juice in the fridge and curses his mom out whenever she doesn't knock and walks in on him having "hand party."

Seriously, dude needs a life. He prides himself on buying up amiibo away from other people but I guess it hasn't dawned on him that for the characters that he hates, yet buys copious amounts of just to troll everyone else, all that money is STILL going to Nintendo. Last time I checked, if you don't like something...you don't support it.

Ahh yes. My 2 that I ordered will be here Friday. Nintendo has treated the Blue Bomber well
 
Anyone having any luck with Toad? I couldn't pre-order on my phone and now on my pc, it says it's available, but won't let me add to cart. >.>

Did you compare the swords before opening one? I'm not sure if the sword should be bending in slightly or out slightly.
 
Guess who I found at my local Fry's store. I had a gut feeling and I found these two guys.


I was looking for Sonic but this will do. Gonna open these bad boys up since I do have them pre-ordered. If you're in Houston, I got these at the Fry's by I-45, I left one Megaman there and that was all they had for Wave 3.
 
Bad photo but when I went to a smaller EB Games today I noticed they still had some in stock about 2 weeks from wave 3 launch. Yes it's a very pitiful selection.


Rosalina, Mega Man, Toon Link were still available.

Also managed to pick this up a couple days before it was due to be released.

 
Was surprised when I got this

GameStop:Your Amiibo Shulk order available Wed PM. Info# 888-446-9209. End txt msgs reply STOP

Couldn't pass by yesterday, so I picked it up today!

Nintendo: "Wow, Rosalina sells so well. We DEFINITELY need to include her in all future games because she is so well-loved!"
 
I uploaded this picture to Reddit expecting people to hate me and nurture myself in their hate, but instead people want to buy them from me... they are all sold preorders so they are all speaken for x) (Adan I´m getting your Megaman Friday if everything goes as planned =P)

The Shulk thirst is real, someone even offered me 100 bucks to ship to Guadalajara (I sold them for around a 5 buck commission, sometimes more if its specially hard to get, but not scalpers prices)
 
I don't think I've ever felt this disheartened and salty over toys before lmao.

All the people getting Shulks is making me ultra jealous.

It's one thing not really caring about Amiibos till 2015 and missing out on the preorder.

It's a whole different feel when you have it in your grasps and still miss it. I was at checkout today when it came online and but logging in brought up and old saved cart, so it disappeared while unloading the cart.

I wouldn't have felt this bad if I had just missed it altogether while I was sleeping or something.

Anyway, this discouragement is telling me to just call it quits on Amiibos and enjoy the Zelda Amiibos I ended up with. I have zero exclusives so far.

And of course, I would really appreciate if someone is willing to part with an extra Shulk they might have gotten.

Glad I was able to snag an extra off of GS.com

His plan failed and she will keep up her appearances.

You facilitate me though??

Sucks though that I'm sure he's selling the amiibo to the desperate and impatient buyers out there on Amazon and eBay. Wish there was a way to get the word out lol
 
Got my Shulk today! I hate amiibos, everytime I try to pull away I end up coming back with cancelled preorders and Regret.
Anyone know when the MM 3DS launches? I want to stop by my Target and see if I can get lucky.
Friday morning as soon as the store opens. I'll be at my store 2 hours before they open.
Only to lose to those that sprint to electronics
