Maybe try calling Gamestop like Zulithe said in case they really are doing pre-orders for a 2nd wave? I mean the release date is far away but it's still cheaper than buying him for $45 right?

Luckily I work across the street from a GameStop. Is it all locations? And link to the reddit post please?

Just curious, what's up with white amiibo signs in your avatar? Last time I recalled that you had colored amiibo avatar.
I didn't know that at all, but apparently my wife contacted UPS and they said the driver did in fact "leave it at the door without knocking" and it must have been stolen :/

Nope. The manager had no idea what I was talking about. Said it's something GS wouldn't do.

of thanks. I have been working out. But seriously you are welcome. Whatever else are Amiibros for?
Sorry to hear man. It's going to be tough. Most here are doing straight up trades for other rares people have been holding as trade bait or selling for MSRP plus shipping. Buying or selling over MSRP would occur in the buy trade sell thread. Sounds like you can order on GS for a 5/1 delivery which sounds crazy to me. 45 isn't really that bad and if it saved me 3 months I would rather do that. You could always import. That would probably cost you 28-40 depending from where but not sure I'd you need that NA box.

Shulk is on his way, will be here next Wednesday!
So I should have Wii Fit Trainer, Little Mac, Ike, Lucario, and Shulk in a matter of days!

ebay has Japan Shulks for $34 shipped. They won't be that low for long. Waiting for it to ship is what sucks.

My way of protesting the treatment of Amiibros by other Amiibros. Lurkers can bash on us and we'll back each other up, but when Amiibros join in on bashing, that's not cool. Some people forgot or don't even know who started the Amiibofied avatars and have forgotten what it means to be amiibro. I thought we were supposed to represent comradree, community, and non-Johns, but some wear it without knowing that. Just left a very bad taste in my mouth and I couldnt believe some of the regulars were joining in.
As for my Link, I still haven't given him an ice bath after using the blow dryer. I think I might use a splint to keep his head taped up and keep it dipped in the water for a longer period of time.

Waaaaait up. I can go to GameStop and say "Yo. Give me DAT Shulk on May.1st" and they will be like....."OK"?

Call em and ask. I don't really believe it. This would imply they are shipping more, and have specified knowledge of it.

Whatever. I gave in and bought a JPN Shulk for $35.00 on eBay. It should arrive sometime in early March. Not bad.
Seriously though, fuck the scalpers, the "collectors" letting these things collect dust, Play Asia for cancelling my order, nowinstock.net for alerting me a SECOND too late yesterday, and Gamestop for being an awful company that won't exist in 5 years.
Phew, got that out of my system.

Bah, cost me $9.50 to ship Mega Man to a friend in Canada. Was filling out the form & wrote "amiibo/toy" since i wasn't sure what else to write, & the guy asked what it was. I was explaining it to him & he was amazed at Mega Man being in SSB & then I told him Pac-Man was in as well, & he was more surprised. He knew of Sonic in Brawl & I was explaining what amiibo were & could do. He seemed rather interested.

Yes, WIS at GS for Shulk done. Hating the 5/1 date, but it's better than a $45 charge eBay price.
Got my Toon Link! And so now in Hyrule Warriors I GOT THE SPINNER! 
Pretty excited to level him up in Smash too. My first Amiibo. I'll probably grab one or two more, but Ness is the only one I absolutely must have.
(although I'd get Lucas in a heartbeat if they added him as DLC and released an amiibo for him.)

I don't know what that person is talking about. It's happening, I just did 2 separate orders for 1 each, shipping in May. Tell him to check Web In Store, that it's on the Homepage.
Blue Namagem

I'm telling you, guys, I just did it. It's real. Tell them it's on the Web In Store homepage. Hurry up though, probably gonna go fast.
Wait, how did it even happen? I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I can't help you since it Shulk and most likely completely sold.
If it makes you feel any better, I never received my little Mac amiibo either that I ordered nearly a month and a week ago and I essentially lost $20.
Does this Soul Beat person have an extra Little Mac to spare ;_;
Vegas is accepting it? Awesome. What is the item number on your confirmation email?

Why I prefer just finding them at the store. Can inspect them. Too bad that only really works with the commons, but hey, because of TRU's large stock I have some really good looking commons. Other then my Zelda, who the best one I could find has separated eyes.

One of my Irk's eyes is upside down. Sometime you just have to play the hand you're dealt.
Sure, why not. Exchange it.
Dude the stress, internet died in the office and I had to rely on my shitty (now awesome i love you) phone internet to secure Shulk and Megaman, after those I just went ahead and order everyhthing, I still have Shulk, Megaman, Ike and DDD coming from Germany, if you still need Megaman by the time they get here (ships on Feb 23) its yours at cost+shipping.

so I know TRU is getting Mega Man, Sonic, DDD and Ike tomorrow, but is Target getting it too?
Another confirmation this indeed works! Had a friend that missed out yesterday go try it himself. GameStop is obviously holding back stock of these things as they tend to do with their exclusives. 8<
The official line with Target seems to be that it's online only.

Right. They're paying to warehouse these things so they can sell them for the same price 3 months from now
