Amiibo Thread 5 | Because we didn't preorder thread 4

So I am kinda freaking out over the 6x6x6 boxes that walmart apparently used. I didn't wait in line last night since I preordered one online.

now I'm wondering if I should just drop the $50 to grab one on ebay now before prices go up.
 
I sure am being patient waiting for my Walmart online preorder to actually ship. They still show delivery date of the 26th, which is what you get for only paying a dollar something for shipping and they technically have a bunch of time before they have to bother shipping. I'd just hate to see this thing get cancelled and then I had squandered my chance to get in store.

Since I buy games digitally, I wasn't going to buy Mario Party 10 physical to get Mario, so the only way I can even get a Mario right now is the gold one and have to wait until they decide to ship the standalones.

where was this stated?
 
My Gold Marios also shipped in a 6x6x6. Are we sure that's not a mistake? How did they fit two Amiibos in a 6x6x6 box?

Wow. The last order from them came packed pristinely and was in a larger box. If my Amiibo arrives bent, there'll be hell to pay.
 
Toad from Best Buy has been delivered.

After a couple failures last night, I had the inkling to call Wal Mart this morning. They said they received a shipment this morning. Drove over and grabbed the last one. The Golden Plumber is mine!
 
I got my order of 2 shipped from Wal Mart in a 8x8x7 box. Should be more than enough space! Need that NIB Mint NA!

How do you know the size of the box they used?

It's in the details in the FedEx shipping/tracking page.

Well of course it is.

Looks like my single is in a 6x6x6 box. Well that sure is super, since the cardboard is taller then 6". This is what I get for passing up getting one last night in a store since I was already getting one.

Shit.
My Toad is in a box with: 8x6x5

But, they put Gold Mario in: 6x6x6

I'm opening them both anyways, but still.

Yeah, I'm trying not to overreact until it gets here, but I am already stressing out about that box size. I don't even know what I can do about it since it's not like I can exchange it for a new one.

Continues to try not to overreact...

Did the research.
Mine is UPS too. Fingers crossed...
 
I'm happy I found Sonic and Mega Man in the same store at the same time.

I'm not going to get them all (that ship sailed a long time ago) but I'm trying to grab my favorites as desk decoration at least.

Current supply:
Kirby
Link
Zelda
Mario
Luigi
Samus
Mega Man
Sonic

Still looking for Marth but I'll grab Lucina as a consolation if Marth disappears forever.
 
Walmart ships Amiibo in the same case they receive them in from Nintendo. Not the best protection, but the ones I've received from them were in great shape.

Yeah, Walmart's shipping has otherwise been exceptional, actually. That's why I was so surprised to see the box dimensions here.
 
Woke up around 7am, didn't really have a care in the world. My two Gold Mario shipped already from Wal Mart. Doubt I'll get this lucky with Wave 4. All I want is Charizard and Pac Man :(
 
Got to Target as soon as they opened and two people were already at the electronics check out counter. Multiple SMB series ones in their hands, including 2-3 Toad each.

Fortunately they left one over. I got it!

I can sleep now. Until Ness.
 
Anyone seen a regular Mario in the wild? Gamestop employee said it is bundle exclusive for their store.

It is not exclusive to GameStop. It is exclusive to the bundle (which can be bought elsewhere too) at 1st but they will likely sell it on its own down the road
 
Ah ok, I thought as much.
Got the bundle, Toad, Bowser, and Luigi.
Peach and Yoshi are common.

Glad to hear that Yoshi is common. I thought I ordered them all from Best Buy but somehow forgot Yoshi. Will try to find him after work.

I got my Mario Party/amiibo bundle from Best Buy also because I love the 20% GCU discount
 
On the drive home, I couldn't help but play All Gold Everything by Trinidad James. haha


So amped about finding one. Even more excited to have my second delivered on Monday.
