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

Part of me wonders if Shulk will get a reprint when Xenoblade 3D releases since he's the only character that works with that game.
 
I have no money left, so when I remembered that preorders don't charge until they ship I preodered as a guest (I can't login/edit details on GS for some reason) hoping that it would work and that I would be fast enough...and I did...I was fast enough. I ordered, i secured, I survived.

If it ships and charges by any chance this month I'm fucked lol.

I don't have a cc and use parents when needed to I have to be extremely sure that there will be money by end of April. I don't count this as secured yet. This is going to be very nerve wracking next month...
 
I preorderd instore GameStop and got free shipping! Weird it has a May release but atleast I will be able to get one, Thanks Amiibro Gaf!

Take it with grain of salts.

That could make sense with what my manager told me yesterday. He told me that they are going to re-release Shulk Amiibo when we are getting Xenoblade 3DS or something like that.

I thought he was misinformed but it seem that it's possible that it could happens.
 
Welp, I just ordered another Shulk so I can trade for Little Mac or a rare I can't acquire. Should I hate myself for doing this?

Of course not. If someone needs a Shulk and you need a Little Mac what would be the problem? You would be helping each other out.
 
Here's an updated United States list of when each Wave 3 figure is released at each retailer (bold = first available date for figure). If I've missed something or I have something wrong, let me know.

Ordered one in store, came home and minutes later it went up online, so I ordered another. At a different address too, just to be extra safe. Not taking chances here haha.
 
Mega Man came in today...that's a good looking figure. Probably one of my favorites (along with Rosalina & Luma).

I'd like to get a second one (Mega Man) for a friend of mine. I've got an unopened Pit here that I'd do a one-for-one trade. US only. PM me if you're interested.

I think it's pretty much certain that Ike, Dedede, Mega Man, and Sonic aren't going to meet that 02/13 date at GameStop. My guy told me 2/20.
 
Sorry, can someone catch me up to speed, they're taking in-store only preorders for Shulk again?

"web in store" preorders. you go in the store, you have them preorder it for you, and it ships to your house in May.

but you can preorder it on the website, too.

right, I forgot that changed. thanks. editing now. (although I only had Dedede and Ike still down for the 13th =P)
 
Of course not. If someone needs a Shulk and you need a Little Mac what would be the problem? You would be helping each other out.
I normally don't do this is the problem plus considering how fast an amiibo exclusive sell out, I would feel bad when they miss their chance but I really do want a Little Mac for trade and they all go for $40+ online.

I'm not trying to horde more Shulks then I already have, but i don't see it available online? I've had two friends that I never knew where into Amiibos breathing down my neck for one

Yep. And as far as I know you can still order from the website, too. Both the WIS and website orders show 5/1 release date.

Hey! I'll probably be back tomorrow for Season 2 in that haha.

I'm not going super crazy with Amiibos getting all of them, just getting the ones I really like. My only must-haves were Villager, Rosalina, Shulk and Toad. I've got Toad pre-ordered from Amazon and I already have the other three (2 of them from the kindness of people here). If I had totally missed the boat on Villager and Rosalina I don't know that I would have kept going. God damn it Nintendo.
