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

I wish it was warmer where I live. Charleston SC seems warm in theory but I assure it has been 29-34 in the mornings. I can't wait out in that even if I wanted too. if I lived somewhere where it was warm I would totally bring a fold up chair and my vita and chill. The way it is going now for Wave 4, that may have to be the plan but if the rumored May releases pans out than I am good.

Just give me that Wave 4 release Best Buy. Please

Dude, up here in the northeast, people have been camping outside of store in -15 degree weather. If it was 29-34, there'd probably be even bigger lines up here lol.
 
If most stores are like that we are in big trouble.
Like Lucario, I may not even bother going early if all they have is like 4 meta knights at most. Missed my chance to grab Rosalina at Target to do for trades but if the Shulk May preorders comes through I could use him to trade for Little Mac. That guy going for $40+ these days and I hate to have literally one character missing from my Smash collection.
 
I finally got around to setting up the lights in my amiibo display.

These are where the lights are hidden.

Collection would be up to date if BB would hurry up with my Sonic, Dedede, and Meta Knight. ugh.
 
I moved over the holidays and ended up having to keep my game collection and amiibo in storage until I had a place to live. I was finally able to move into my new home recently and today has been dedicated towards setting up my amiibo in the new game room. This is the end result (although I might do some slight reordering):

Oh wow, you have a gorgeous setup. That's enviable. I love the colors. Good work.

29-34!? That's like Hawaii compared to here! It is literally -20 with the windshield right now and the little news bar scrolling across the bottom of the screen says stay inside or you could die. AND YET, these past few days there have still been people waiting in lines in the morning for amiibo and 3DS' (much more dedicated than me I guess) haha
 
They only have like 2 meta knights?
Yeah, my friend said they only got in enough to cover preorders at her store.

Where did you find this??
A friend of mine works at the Best Buy I have my amiibo preordered at. She took/sent me the picture.

Truth. I stood outside of TRU for 45 mins or so and I couldn't feel my hands, feet or face by the time they opened. It was all for nothing, too. All they had left was Sonic -- who I didn't need -- by the time it was my turn at the counter. :(
 
Has it been that way from the start? Seen some people claim elsewhere that they have gotten a ton when they went up and down.

It has been for at least the past few days every time they've gone up that seems to be the limit...I haven't been around for all of them but the two I was around for that was it...
 
Damn... I hope the stores around me have extra metaknights...


EDIT: just called my best buy store and they said they'll be getting a shipment in on Friday and that none of them are preorders. First come first serve.
 
Brace yourselves...

Mega Man and Dedede are in there too. You can see Dedede's eyes (on the packaging) between Ike and Meta. Mega Man is completely obscured though.

My local Best Buy opens at 10, just in time for my weekly team meeting. This is not going to end well for me.

Looks really elegant! Have you considered drilling new shelf-peg holes to give the top and bottom row fighters equivalent head space with the other rows?

When my collection grow larger I'll consider doing so. Maybe sooner. Right now Rosalina, Ike and Pit are too larger to fit on top or bottom.
 
Happy Sunday Amiibros!
Wario is up for preorder on Amazon.UK
It is $21.58 delivered. That is steep but I am thinking I may do it. Ugh. They dont have any other Wave 4s to help with shipping.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00SSU65QC/

They have Ike as well

Edit 2: Got Wario. I cant decide if I am happy about this or not. Adding Ike would have put it at 34 USD which I cant justify as I have him through BB preordered and he is popping up on Target every now and then. Wave 4 has me crazy paranoid and I wish they had others of them but no dice.
 
Yay! My Gamestop pre-order Shulk was delivered and waiting outside of my apartment. The detail on Shulk looks really good!

To open or not to open...

Open it!!!!!

Mhm Friday is gonna be either really awesome or really dissapointing. God I hope meta is decently stocked, if its anything like the rosalina launch I'll be happy.

Done! Thanks a lot. Nice to know that I was able to get a preorde rin for at least one of the Wave 4 Amiibos. I hope I can at least nab Robin and Lucina when they go live in the US.

Man, your sonic avatar looks so good. I'm not a huge Sonic fan, otherwise I would have scooped that up. I think it's the best looking one of the bunch.

Amiibo flair looks perfect, too!

I know those feels. I got Pac-Man, Wario, Charizard and Ness preorder at amazon.co.uk.

I have Robin and Lucina preordered at this sketchy KingPlayer.de site I've never heard of... They're only my back-ups in case I can't get a NA preorder.
 
How the heck they did them transparent?????? HOW!!?

So freaking awesome :O

It's insane, but from what I read the person made a mold of the figure (3D printer maybe?) and cast the figure in that clear plastic.

As for Wolf... well the images of what he did to Fox to get that far may be too gruesome for this thread...
 
Has there been any news for when Gamestop will fufil orders for Ike and King Dedede? I have online ship to home preorders from them, but they were delayed so I'm thinking of getting Ike and King Dedede at Best Buy (when I line up for Meta-Knight) just in case.
 
Maybe if I'm lucky, there will be enough horrible weather to scare people away from my best buy... I have meta knight coming in the mail but I'd like to land an ike or dedede. I've got an extra sheik but I doubt that will wind up of enough value to land me either of those two.
 
I believe he used the original figure to create a mold, then cast them in silicone.

Woahh respect for them because that sounds like A LOT of work. Totally worth it cuz looks amazing! Especially Shadow Mario. They even added the tiny M symbol there and everything!
 
So my Link amiibo from Amazon was shipped Friday night, with 2 day shipping, it's stating that it'll be here Sunday, Feb 15th, by 8pm.

I keep re-checking and theres no update.

"On the way: On time
Expected delivery: Sunday, February 15, 2015, by 8:00pm "

it's currently 4:21pm. I'm waiting for them to admit their defeat.

Yeah I love it! I customized it a bit with the shoes/bracelets and scarf so you could still snag the original one.

Hopefully, they don't do that annoying thing where they mark a package as delivered just to meet their quota for the day and then deliver it the next day. That's happened to me a few times.
 
Finally picked up Peach today because it looks like her stock is getting low everywhere. Also will grab a Yoshi now if I see him...I think he's starting to dissapear.
