Ah ok. Sounds like you're more knowledgable than me so I defer to that. Interesting. Maybe the exclusivity is more temporary than we thought.

They do and it's been there for weeks.
Nah I honestly have no idea. There is nothing listed there so I'm pretty sure only Amazon could have created the page. They can only create a page without actually listing an item.
But yeah, maybe they are anticipating 3rd party sellers. Who knows.
One guy at the Target I went to said he got there at 5 am. I was like, it's 1 degree out here man. Funny that they put them up on Target a few hours later, still up by the way. Amiibo wise, I missed out on D3, the one I really wanted, but I'm sure he'll go up for online orders again
at 3 am
He'll be out next week at Best Buy and GameStop
giving you another wonderful opportunity to stand in 1 degree weather
alrighty then. I could have sworn that page wasn't but I've been wrong before.
Oh man, and this came today too!
yay! mine is in the mail... should arrive later this afternoon. excite.

I know its been said here before, but holy shit, Dedede is the best amiibo yet. Far and away. From the stitching on his gloves to the lining on his jacket, literally everything is perfect. I'm in awe.

TRU by me in TN had Wave 3's this morning, was out before I could get there but guy there said they might get some more tonight, and to call him later and he'll hold a D3 for me. So fingers crossed!

2nd in line... Only 1 ike lol
I'll be getting sonic megaman and dedede though.
Only two dedede so I should be grateful I'm second and the guy at TRU is limiting to 1 per person

I sure hope I can get Mega Man when I pick up Sonic next week. Part of me wishes I just bought a 2nd Mega Man (but I figured it wouldn't be good for my budget) when I was at Meijer Wednesday (I checked this morning & to no surprise, all the new ones were gone except for 1 Sheik) since the one I bought with Ike & Dedede was sent to my friend in Canada.
Least Shulk was taken care of thanks to my gift card & if I do find MM at GameStop, I've still got $7.50 left on the card. After that, it's just Meta Knight & I think I'm done with Wave 3.

Congrats! I'm glad that you got it! Now don't quit Amiibo business on us now! ;P
Scored the two amiibo I was looking for: an extra Mega Man and a Sonic for myself. I got to TRU about ten minutes before it opened, and there were three people in front of me: a mom with two kids, a guy, and a girl. The kids were just there to spend their Valentine's money on nothing gaming related. The guy was looking to score a Majora's Mask New 3DS XL. The girl and I were both after the same amiibos.
Not long after, a line formed behind me. The store opened. The girl and I made a dash for the back. (She wasn't too sure where she was going, but I led and let her in front of me...after all, she was there first.) The worker brought out a huge box of amiibo. Plenty to go around for everyone. She actually scored a Dedede and a Sheik too (which I already had), so it worked out. Everyone was buying one of each even though there was no limit, and I think everyone got what they wanted. It was a good experience.
So for me, Wave 3 is complete. If I happen to score a Lucario or Toon Link in the future, cool. If not, no worries.

I miss the days of Wave 1 when I was able to walk into an empty TRU and buy a WFT, Marth and Villager. The same TRU had 15 people lined up 3 hours before opening.
Bout where in TN are you located? Im a Memphis dweller
Definitely nothing at my local BB. They did have Metaknight in the back though.

Thanks, guys! So happy to have Mega Man now! But just because I finally have him doesn't mean I'm going anywhere. I'm in this amiibo hunt for the long haul, so you'll all be seein' me into OT4 and beyond, no doubt!

Did you get the seven or eight that you need? I'm interested in seeing them once you get all the paint jobs done.
All the TRUs seemed to only get enough Ikes for preorders and mayyyybe one extra at some stores (maybe ones without any preorder for him at all), so you didn't have much of a chance in the first place.

Target got no new Amiibo, and sold out of the 3DS XL in 4 minuets
Toys R Us had a hand written sign on the door saying "No Amiibo Sorry
"
madness I tell you...

No reason to go to GameStop for Shulk today every GameStop across the U.S. only got enough for preorders, no extras. The GameStop in my city was dead today.
I thought you guys got all of Wave 3 already. Which ones aren't out yet? I know Wave 4 comes out April 24 in Europe.

Crap. I got notice that my Shulk was ready for pickup at Gamestop wed night. When I got home I noticed the guy gave me Sheik instead. I called that night but no answer.
I'm surprised the register didn't block the pre-order pickup. I'm going to try to make it to store today but concerned i may get problems and that they likely don't have my Shulk anymore. Any advice on how to get this resolved??? I'm hoping my receipt can confirm that Sheik got scanned instead.

I found the info on Nintendo's home page. Mega Man, Shulk, Sonic, Meta Knight and King Dedede all come out next Friday it seems.
Well guys
I went to 4 places, all I wanted was a Sonic.
Walked out with fucking nothing
Im pretty sick of this shit. Im pretty sick of being treated like shit by the customer service people because I had to ask if they had any more amiibos. I always get this long sigh delivered with a passive agressive tone about how they dont have anymore and theyre "sorry, but go try X store". I understand theyre sick of answering the question, but guess what, thats your job. Its not your job to show your displeasure with the situation, your job is to give me an answer without acting like youre gonna start screaming at me.
Its really getting to me at this point. Im not going to go wait in line or goto another store for shit. If I cant pre-order online, then fuck it. Im done.
This is seriously fucking ridiculous.

For the last several days I've heard some reports of new figures at Fred Meyer and Meijer stores. I can confirm myself that I bought Mega Man, Ike and Dedede at Meijer's when I went there on Wednesday.
They only had enough Ike's to cover for preorders at my location.
I was at the Toys R US in Hurst, Tx. Sonic and Dedede were gone due to preorders and I only got Mega Man because I overheard a father tell his son to put it back because it's already preordered (Thanks to them) - originally me and two others were reaching for one left on the rack and it was an awkward 'who's more aggressive'. It was like slo-mo. I felt dirty and desperate. But everyone there in line seemed very cool and were really more about collecting than scalping.
I just need to preorder in the future, but I'm just always thinking there will be newer ones that become common and replace old commons. There were a lot of Toon Links.
