Nintendo knows the n3DS is only for the hardcore to buy their second or third systems.
In further news, there are 10 people in line at Toys R Us ... and only four Dedede and 12 Mega Man. No Ike, Sonic or restocked Lucario. What the hell.
[edit] OK, they had four Sonics, but not Ike.

It's really funny that people are actually lining up for what are essentially just...statues of video game characters. In-game functionality aside.
Who'd have thought?

My Mega Man and Sonic are at my house. Excellent. Now to pray next week for BB to pull through with one or two extra Meta Knights and i might actually have gotten on the curve for this stuff.

I wonder if the TRUs around here have a line yet? It's still 3 hrs till opening xP

Same.
Fresh stickers are also easy to remove anyways. I got a bottle of goo gone for the hard stuff.
Maybe they are lined up for a N3DS.

on my way to Toys R Us. 10 min after opening ETA. Wonder how big of a difference that will make. I am guessing no Dedede or Ike (not confirmed to have anyway). They had 16 MM the other day in the back and 8 Sonic. I have my preordered through BB so I was just wanting to help out Amiibros. Still on my way to try.
Do you all think there is any point in grabbing MM or sonic? If common I font want to bother. Reply if you need them aND I can gauge interest. Remember I send out figures boxed USPS Priority for 25 bucks. Done this with 7 rares so far. So I am happy to help if you want to let me know.

Oh so my target had 3 of the Majoras mask 3ds. Like I said there were like 4 guys there since 6 am.
A new guy showed up 10 min to opening. As soon as doors opened he dashed to electronics. He got there and grabbed TWO MM 3ds'. Only one guy in line before him had the other one.
I spoke up and was like this is complete bullshit as the electronics guy was about to sell the two to this douche. I knew I wasn't getting one at that point but I vouched for the other guys in line. The douche was like well I ran here fastest so I should get them. Finally when threats of calling the manager started, he said he'd give up one but he's definitely keeping the other.
I said nope, call the manager, these other guys deserve it. FINALLY the manager agreed with us and took the other MM 3DS and distributed as needed. The douche stomped away all upset.
So I walked out empty handed but at least I helped those guys who deserved it more get their 3DS'.
Oh and one of the nice guys was into amiibo and didn't get sheik, so I had an extra I told him I would sell to him for retail this weekend

Holy shit!! Hats off to ya - we almost had a situation like that with Rosalina at the Target I go to, but there was more than enough stock so nothing came of it. I gotta say, HUGE props to you for sticking to your guns and not letting that douchebag grab two he clearly didn't deserve.

It sucks that Target lets this situation happen. It happens every day during the holidays as people sprint to the toys section.

Really wish there was someone in the Austin, TX area who I could get a Shulk from.
TRU would be the best but Best Buy
and Walmart, hahaha
Just got back from TRU in Long Island City Queens. There were actually about 10-15 people waiting outside in the 10 degree cold. I believe all they had were Mega Man and Sonic but it was hard to tell with the mob of people converging on the amiibos. There was not limits imposed, people were taking 2 of each figure. I think the Mega Mans were all gone.
Fortunately I got lucky...

I wonder what Best Buy had at pening,I went after TRU and they had nothing. Did you get a MM 3DS? And did you get anything at TRU? I was able to secure a MegaMan

I'm on west coast. About to head over to TRU soon. Im scared! They don't open til 10 and I'll be going 2 hours early...
I have to work. I dropped my girlfriend off there. She secured one Mega Man, one Sonic and one King Dedede. She lucked out by standing near the doors closer to the video game department, which they opened, while most people were standing near the farther doors that were "for Amiibos."
I did not get a Majora's Mask n3DS because I already have a Link Between Worlds 3DS XL and I'm happy with it. The new features in the n3DS are cool, I like them, but I'll wait for a sale. Besides, all my extra money is going to Amiibos right now, heh

I went an hour early this morning and they had already sold out of everything an hour and a half earlier than I got there.

I'm at TRU and there's a line. OMG, and I think they're all getting Sonic. ><
That's the only one I need.

it should've been purple. I would've pre ordered one way back when i had the chance if it was. Also wish someone would get more stock of majoras mask that comes with skull kid.
Guy at my store told me probably next week.
Keep in mind it was the "expected date" and not a solid release date.
