No problem, just want to at least get a list tonight, and then I'll start PMing around so we can get the Gmail adresses to contact each other by.

Yeah, I just created a new Gmail account for this, and you can have multiple accounts in the app. Same situation as you, but I got the new one made no problem

Uhh, what's this about?

As I said earlier, Toki had the awesome idea of having us start a Google Hangouts session for alerting one another about amiibo availability 'n such, so I'm trying to drum up interest. We have a nice list so far, but the more the merrier, so if you have or are willing to make a apare Gmail account, you can be part of this too.

So while we wait to inevitably be screwed out of another amiibo, here's a question: why the hell does the Target iOS app keep forgetting my Red Card information? I don't get it, I'm logged into my Target account, which my Red Card is attached to. On Target.com it shows up just fine, and the first few times I used the Target app I didn't have to enter anything but my pin. Now every time a checkout it's like there's no card on file, with only the option to add a new card from scratch. Whenever I add the Red Card it stays for a while until my session inevitably expires.

I just use the desktop website, even if I'm on mobile I switch over to the desktop version. Has my target card and visa saved no problems.

Skaflone, I was actually just about to ask if you wanted in on this, but you beat me to it!

Jason, why don't you join us too?
 
Toki767 said:
I get my in stock alerts from Diggeh on Steam.

Shame I'm not usually looking whenever he messages me for it though lol.

Would anyone be interested in doing a Hangouts group chat thing for amiibo alerts? That way with a smartphone it's probably much easier being alerted by someone on here if they're willing to share info.

Actually might be a good idea. Why not just an iMessage chat group? I already have a couple people I text whenever I see a deal. But the chat group would reveal our phone numbers or email addresses.... What other "hangout" group would you suggest? An app? There's GroupMe which I use with my friends.

If you use Hangouts, just create a new Gmail address, is all. No biggie. That way no one has your phone number or actual email. That's what I and others are doing.

Loving this!

Okay, so now that we have a decent sized group, with room for anyone else, here's what to do:
- Get the Google Hangouts app
- Create/use a spare Gmail address to sign in
- PM me said email address
- I'll start a new chat with everyone on the list, adding as more come along.

Pretty simple. So, go ahead and provide thise addresses, folks!
 
Eh, why not. Count me in and PM what I need to do. I should be sleeping but you know what happens to those amiibo preorders lol. Not sure how much I can contribute considering I'm just wait for one of you guys to tell me what went and and what gone.

That's okay, you're allowed to do that.if you happen across some good info, share it, but if not, you can just be there when one or more of us alerts the rest.

Haha, you should sleep!

But...wouldn't you be able to sleep better knowing a group was actively looking for availability and notifiying each other simultaneously??

I would!

Edit: you said you PMed, but I have yet to see it. Try again?

That post says that Nintendo has NEVER done a Wal-Mart exclusive. This is incorrect. I had to break my seven-year streak of never going to a Wal-Mart because Chibi Robo: Park Patrol on DS was a Wal-Mart exclusive.

Yeah, many people seem to have forgotten (or never knew?) that Wal-Mart had an exclusive version of Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros 3 for GBA back in the day.
The standard release only came with 2 e-cards:
04549673338.jpg


Wal-Mart's exclusive version came with 7 bonus e-cards that were never available anywhere else (in the US):
smb3walmart.jpg


Now this is definitely just speculation on my part, but consider this:
As far as we've heard to date, the upcoming Super Mario series Mario amiibo figure is going to be exclusive to the Mario Party 10 bundle, at least initially.
Assuming the leaked images are legit, the Gold Mario amiibo seems to be some kind of promotion for Easter, which is just ~2 weeks after MP10 launches on 3/20 - that seems to be a pretty quick turnaround for a timed-exclusive...
Considering they sold their exclusive version of SMB3 instead of the standard version of the game.....well, you can see where I'm going with this.

I could be completely wrong but I went ahead & pre-ordered a MP10 bundle just in case my hypothesis is actually correct.

Here's a link for any fellow conspiracy theorists, haha:

Bu-but...

I already have the bundle locked in at $10 under MSRP on Amazon.com. :(
Click to expand...

If it's any consolation, I have a MP10 bundle pre-ordered at Amazon and Best Buy as well!
I had one at Newegg too but I cancelled that one, haha. :)

Here's hoping Amazon or Best Buy get the Silver Mario...
(assuming I'm right about the bundle thing)

hmm? I don't see a Hangout.
 
Someone indulge me. I am really interested in the Mega Man amiibo. I don't regularly follow amiibo rarity as I mostly buy the ones I want. After my initial disappointment of not being able to get Villager, I gave up on amiibos as I'm not as hardcore as you guys are.

With that being said I really want the Mega Man amiibo. I have seen that some people have him so I will assume he has been released.

Is it at a particular store?
Is he hard to find?

I have no idea who Shulk is...
 
Yep, my mk order status changed from bby and my card was charged. It's happening. Still no order confirmation from target about ddd though.
 
I'm in the UK - just got this text from Toys R Us...

On a brighter note - my Mega Man and Sonic amiibo should be here today with Shulk, Dedede and Meta Knight arriving in the next couple of days :D

Chat Hangout is up. Please keep the Alerts Hangout for Alerts Only. Chatting will be in the designated Hangout.

Brian, I'm not sure what's up, we were all talking a few minutes ago, after I added you.
 
Just checked my Meta Knight order. Says it's in the process of being fulfilled, a change from yesterday's "status not available".
