Don't even joke. All those happy meals I'll have to buy for my son and daughter
that don't exist.

I'm out of the loop. Is Toon Link rare? There are two sitting on this shelf.
I don't think so. Everywhere I've been I've seen him. I'd say he's second behind Bowser in being the most common from Wave 3. That doesn't mean he'll stay that way though.

Meh. Then no rush to pick him up. Got other stuff I need to spend some money on.

nintendo must still be securing retailer exclusivity.

Is Sheik supposed to be rare?
Generally, although Sheik has gotten some scant restocks here and there.
I'm just doing it for fun. If it doesn't turn out well, then I guess I just have a weird looking Yoshi on the shelf. :lol
My Sonic shipped a bit ago too.

My sonic shipped from target yesterday. Still waiting on Ike.

Picked up Sonic at Best Buy and it took years off my life
Some kind of snafu with my order number not showing up because I had previously picked up Sheik on the same order a few weeks ago. On top of that my Sonic was not in the normal spot for store pickups. Lucky for me I had a great person who looked a little bit and found my order!
But I was definitely sweating a little bit

Honey, I ordered him at 4:19pm :3 It was around that time he was disappearing from peoples carts :/
I'll use him in Captain Toad for sure
Yep. I'm holding off finishing it until the Toad Amiibo comes outs. On the beginning of the 3rd book but I'll wait

Is there any stores that haven't put toad up for sale? Seems to sell out whenever it's posted.
This right here is why I think NoA has been routinely under-shipping fan favorite amiibo (not that I disagree with your reaction at all, orthodoxy!). I'm not sure how long they can do this without people getting exhausted by the whole process though.

Nintendo really has to stop making me want things that I don't want by constantly throwing the fact that everybody else wants them in my face.
Stupid smart businesses.

Target had him up for a while up it seems like he is gone now. Maybe they will have him on and off throughout the day today as they did with Ike, Sonic and Megaman yesterday?

Crossposting from my gaming pickups post:
Goremiibo is here!
I also haven't done a collection picture yet, so here's the gang organized by the 3DS roster:

I also just realized I can literally recreate the huge table of trophies in the Smash games. Hoo boy.
One of these things is not like the other.

Target and Gamestop still have him I think

So I'm guessing Mac is one of the most rare ones? I have him but seems he's almost impossible to find.

I believe then that the Mario line is considered the "next wave" since they're coming out first on March 20 and wave 4 probably won't be out until late April/early May.

What store are you guys getting Mega Man?

I don't know how Gamestop messed up, but my Shulk order is getting delivered today to a different city in my state. Profound sadness 
Yeah, I know. Mac's a bit too far out. Sorry.
I'll let it slide this time.

I have him pre ordered with GameStop so I'm waiting for them to call me to pick him and Ike up.
Got mine at TRU

Well, I think I'm out of the amiibo game with all the shenanigans I've had to face. I'll still try to get Ness and Villager for my fiancee, but I'm seriously miffed that I can't get Shulk until May.
Maybe one day people will sell them all or Nintendo will go through a proper reprint. Until then, I've got my Smash OTP, and that's that.

Vast majority are probably from TRU since they're the first big national chain store that has the earliest release date of 2/13 for Mega Man, Ike, Dedede, and Sonic.
Others might have found Mega Man at local regional stores like Meijer or Fred Meyer.
I got my Mega Man at Meijer's on Wednesday although I have a pre-order at TRU to pickup.

Well think about this at least you secured one with retail price you don't need it now! It has no functionality - people aren't even gonna get one or pay outrageous prices

Here's a shot in the dark, but does anyone have 10 Club Nintendo points? I was trying to get Super Mario 3D Land and am 10 short. If you can lend some, that would be great. I would appreciate the PM. Thanks!

I don't get that. I've had Ike ordered from Amazon for a long time and they still haven't sent him....
Not sure if you've already tried but I believe some free games give out 10pts for post play surveys.

I hate craigslist.
Yesterday I made a deal with a guy to trade my sonic and Ike for his Rosalina and $13.
We planned to meet this morning.
And now he is backing out.
I want Rosalina!!! ;(

In my experience I would say about 75 percent of people ultimately backout. Worse though is those that screw you over by not telling you. It's worse for sellers. I have driven over an hour before just to have the person not show up. Now I only meet people close to home. I usually avoid CL unless i absolutely have to.
