The 'you should open your Amiibo' brigade will like this, but Amazon shipped my Sonic to me in a huge box with a ton of bubble packs to keep it nice and safe... too bad they bent him in half and shoved him in the package the short way:



I complained and was told they would give me 20% off, so I complained more about how it was not something I could simply reorder, and they refunded me and told me to order a new one because they will be "plentiful" when the next shipment arrives. I am not ordering Peach, I doubt Sonic will be plentiful.

That's why you order multiples. :D

Well, that's good to know. My Sonic arrived in the same condition from Amazon. It's so weird because I ordered others from there that arrived perfectly fine.
 
I'm basically hoarding extra Shulk(s), Pitt(s), Lucario(s), Rosalina, WFT, and little Mac for inevitable trades I will need to catch em all.

I think we have a disease.

You want to sell/trade me a Shulk.

(Waves Force hand)

Damn sorry to see that, If amazon doesn't ship you a replacement one I have an extra Toon Link you can have. I was so happy when I got my first Toon Link, he looks amazing! So hopefully this incident doesn't stop you from collecting more awesome amiibos!

Thank you for the kind gesture. I managed to get another Link from Walmart. I'll get a refund on this one.
 
I picked up my shulk earlier today and they had a strange workaround for wave 4 preorders. They were keeping a physical log of names and phone numbers while putting money down towards Mario party 10. They'll give folks a call when they go live for real and transfer the money from Mario party. I jumped on all 6.

back when captian falcon was released my mom brought me mines like that(i had it ship to her job since packages get stolen where i live) and i thought it was that she bent it but now that i see this i guess it was just amazon. i didn't mind tho since i rip them shits open. :)

But those are all the rare ones... ? (except Villager)
What are you going to trade them for?
 
Don't know what it means, but I AM FEELING IT!

GameStop has apparently had my Shulks for two days, didn't call. Luckily I called them.


Guy said he was hoping I'd cancel cause he didn't pre order. Shady.
 
Don't rely on target for shit. My ike and dedede were just cancelled for no reason.'

I'm giving up on ever getting dedede, just going to go for ness now and fuck everything else

This has been one hell of a

week. Shulk arrived on Tuesday, Megaman arrived today, Ike arrives Saturday. Majora's Mask LE shipped along with the n3DS Majora's Mask edition. Best Buy will ship my Sonic, Dedede and Meta Knight soon. I'm happily exhausted.

no kidding, I've got MH4U coming too.
 
Got Ike and King DeDeDe today from Amazon. Ike looks great... from a distance. His derp face and a few armor blemishes become apparent up close.

But DeDeDe! I mean, that coat and hammer detail, wow! Second best looking after Mega Man.

The one that I went to today said the same thing.
 
I'm basically hoarding extra Shulk(s), Pitt(s), Lucario(s), Rosalina, WFT, and little Mac for inevitable trades I will need to catch em all.

I think we have a disease.

Ditto, but even when I'm sitting on multiples I still find it hard to let go.

It reminds me so much of when I was into the Pokemon TCG. At one point I had three copies of the same $70 card, just so I could get whatever I may need. Also had nine copies of a $15 card... Between the two cards, no trade wasn't possible!
 
Ugh! Shulk is in transit and it's updated to show he's in Mather CA and what are the odds UPS decides to bump my delivery day to tomorrow instead of Monday like it shows?
 
Haha don't worry he's coming out! I just got him and I'm not even home yet lol But yeah I'm totally an OOO collector 😉

Shulk's feeling it so you'd better get this unboxing started

Unbox your amiibo on a Saturday night
Open him faster than you can say Reyn time
No bendy Monado, so don't be afraid
Buster it wide open with a Back Slash today

Your friends should've preordered back in November
Them buncha jokahs couldn't see the future

Will have an extra Sonic and Ike

Looking for Meta Knight mostly but I also need WFT, Villager, and CPT Falcon still if anybody wants to set up a trade?

PM me

(too drunk to find the amiibo trade thread)
 
Gah. One Toys R Us has extra Mega Mans, the other has extra Sonics. Neither has extra Ikes and neither has the other one, so now I have to choose between the two T_T

Aw, sucks that I missed out on the new Shulk pre-orders at GameStop today. Pulling all-nighters for work sucks. Ah well.

I'm lucky enough to work at a job where GAF and GameStop aren't blocked. I would've been soooooooo boned otherwise.

Oh diggle I just love your song posts. You're going to have to help me out though. What song do I sing these lyrics to the beat of?
 
I preordered Shulk long ago, but never got a "come pick it up" text and now the release date on the Gamestop site is May. Should I be worried, or will they probably have it if I go to the store tomorrow?
