[O.v.e.rlord]

I really don't get this. I added everyone already to the new chat, wonder why this is an issue.

Same issue with mine. Is there a way to resend?

Oh no! Namagem's Hideout scheme shot him into being the top poster! I never had a chance. ;_;

Look at it this way - the more time he's in the thread, the less time he's actually looking for Amiibos!

Or maybe he's already found them all! What if he's...a Nintendo Ninja?

Then it shall be my goal to crush his puny "hangout" with my mighty AmiiboT! No, seriously, I did program something to scan Amazon, Target, BestBuy, and Gamestop for wave 4 Amiibo...and if it finds something, it emails me a link...I don't know if I'm insane, or a genius....

Man, if I was a scalper, I bet I could be one of the best ones there is! None of ya'll would get any Ness!

I had the chance to grab all the extra Villagers, Marths, and WFTs on launch, but then I remembered I wasn't a huge jerk. I kinda feel like I should've preordered Wave 4 when Amazon UK went up, but I have a very

Join the group, you two! Haha!

Also, I started a new chat. Does eveyone see it?

 

[CorvoSol]

I bought Bowser today.

Why? I don't even really want the Mario Set but I already had Peach and oh god where is all my money going

I don't see anything either. I didn't get any invite or nothing.

Check your Spam folder, just in case.

Edit: Anyone who's having problems joining "AmiiboGAF-Chat", check your emails, Spam folders, and in the app itself, check your Invites.

Others have begun trickling in, so anyone who hasn't gotten in yet should try what I said.

 

[skaflone721]

Check your Spam folder, just in case.

Nothing. Spam is empty.

Check your invites. It might be there.

Meta Knight on the 20th. Wave 4? What's that? Never heard of it. Here, have some more Peaches and Zeldas.

 

[Blue Namagem]

Great...just found out that the max users in a Hangout is 10...seriously, Google?! Uuuugh.

Freakin' lame. Trying to add more, but it won't let me. This sucks.

Peach is actually out of stock here lol

 

[Jailer of Hope]

My BB order is preparing the remaining wave 3 amiibo for shipment except Mega Man. I shouldn't panic, but I want to.

 

[skaflone721]

Check your invites. It might be there.

Where are the invites? I've checked practically everywhere on both the Android one and on the PC and I don't see anything. Is it because of the 10 limit?

 

[Diggeh]

Looks like Chinner finally struck! What a guy.

 

[Blue Namagem]

Does anyone have a good idea of a mass chatting app that doesn't limit each conversation to only 10 people?

Join us on Steam! I've got 7 people added

and I'm waiting on Salva, Katt and Jelly to respond

. Just use the spreadsheet and tag people you add as "AmiiboGAF".

EDIT: Nama pls

Yeah, I just found out about the 10 limit, so I'm trying to find a good app we can all use to stay in touch for this. Any ideas?

 

[Ryfferr]

Who's Chinner? I missed something...

My friends and I use Viber and right now we have a group chat of 16 people. But it's a mobile app and it requires mobile numbers.

so im thinking of scalping these because it seems like easy money, what would the next obvious bet be is for making money?

I don't use Steam. See, the idea behind this is a phone app to use so we can all get notified from each other through a phone notification, which is much more efficient and quick.

 

[Kyonashi]

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

I got that text as well as an email from Tesco cancelling that stock alert too. Is Rosalina not getting another run? :S

 

[Diggeh]

But Steam has mobile apps! I've pretty much immediately sent out messages for new stuff!

Spoiler

except I was a minute late for Dedede BUT YOU GOT ONE KIERWYNN OKAY

 

[Insaniac]

2/20 is release for Ike at GS and Metaknight at Bestbuy, and then I will be done with Wave 3!

 

[Thoraxes]

Steam Mobile app is good and responsive.

Thanks for the context. It's surprising how different the market here is compared to others.

Seriously?? That's awesome! But, is there limit on the max amount of people per chat? That's what ruined it for Hangouts.

 

[Blue Namagem]

Hey, so how does everyone feel about Steam? That could be a good smartphone app to try. Does it allow notifications and alert tones for incoming messages?

 

[Diggeh]

Not that I know of! I can make a group called "AmiiboGAF" and we can all have a group chat window opened.

 

[Rootbeer]

There seems to be some chatter on reddit that pre-orders might go up tonight? Anyone know where this info is coming from?

theres a petition.

 

[Blue Namagem]

Listen everyone, I need to get to bed for work, so I'm heading out. It was nice chatting a bit with some of you in the Hangouts, but, like I said, we can't do this thing there. But, as Diggeh mentioned, let's try the Steam app on phones to communicate with this. It sounds like a winner to me.

If anyone has any questions or anything, PM me and I'll check later in the day. Sorry the Hangout didn't work, but I had no idea there was a 10 person limit. I still love this idea and want to see it come to fruition, so I really wanna try Steam.

I am exhausted! Good night everyone! We'll continue this project tomorrow! Here's hoping Wave 4 goes up already!

Edit: My Steam username is "namagem". Add me (but please let me know you came from here).

 

[Diggeh]

Alright, I made an AmiiboGAF group! I can add you if we're friends.

Also Namagem, which "namagem" are you?

 

[Toki767]

The Steam mobile app is such a huge battery drain sadly.

I was worried about that, nooo!

Is there still a chance for Hangouts??

Holy crap I need to sleep...

I told I could set it up for you if you just give me the list of e-mails.

 

[Blue Namagem]

I already sent it. Give it a shot!

 

[Toki767]

So it seems a lot of people on the list don't actually have Hangouts. That's why Blue Namagem was having trouble adding everyone.

 

[Diggeh]

Aw, but I made this cute little Steam group avatar and everything!

I guess it'll still be easier than messaging everyone at once.

Please PM me if you're going to add me on Steam so I don't think you're a random spammer.

 

[Blue Namagem]

So it seems a lot of people on the list don't actually have Hangouts. That's why Blue Namagem was having trouble adding everyone.

I instructed people to get it, actually, as well as either creating or using a spare Gmail address. I guess not everyone got around to both steps.

Will this actually work, having the max be 100? I really hope so.

Diggeh, it's so awesome that you made that image, but the thing is, Steam is a mobile battery killer, and the last thing I want fron constant communication and alerts from each other is a dead phone.

No problem. Do what works best!

 

[Blue Namagem]

Thanks for understanding. I still think you'd be such a great addition to the Hangout, assuming Toki can get the limit to 100 like I couldn't.

Hope you'll consider joining! We'll have 2 convos, one for chatting and one for strictly alerts. How cool is that??

Now...oh maaaaan...I NEED SLEEP! Good night!

 

[Rootbeer]

I just discovered pushbullet. Would be awesome if there were an amiibo channel on there to push updates on stock and other news.

 

[Toki767]

The other alternatives are kik, which supports 50 people in a group, but that only has a mobile app. There's also Whatsapp, which supports 100 people in a group chat, but I believe that requires phone numbers? And lastly Line, which supports 100 people and can set usernames.

We'll figure this out tomorrow I guess. I mean, what are the odds preorders actually go up tomorrow right?

Spoiler

Jinx.
