Well if the preorder cancels out I hope you get it. Good luck!

Thanks, I hope so too! I would have to imagine if someone preordered one and hasn't taken the time to come get it yet, maybe they don't want it. Then again, why would they have preordered it to begin with if they didn't know what it was and how hard it'd be to get.

I'm not expecting to get it, but I sure hope so.

Here comes a new challenger!
Kierwynn has joined the chat!

Here's what we're up to amiibros:
CH4OS (added)
blue.namagem
kitchenmotors (added)
Skaflonetek (added)
Kierwynn (added)

We have a chat room and an amiibo watch room for any amiibos that may pop up on the internet without notice INCLUDING wave 4.

If anyone wants to stay ahead of the game, download the LINE messenger app and PM me your ID and I will add you to both rooms. This will keep us ahead of scalpers too...unless one of you is (in which case we will have a strict screening process) lol

Add me please! Nerd_Incognito

Meta Knight shipped for anyone? actually, nothing shipped from Best Buy at all. what's going on there?

 

[Shauni]

Alright guys I have you all added on LINE. I made a group called amiibo watch 24/7 and even added a cool picture :]

So far we have:
CH4OS
blue.namagem
kitchenmotors
Skaflonetek

I think this will work great as you can get phone notifications in this app and you don't have to use your phone number if you don't want to.

Please PM me if you'd like to be added with your LINE account name. I'm going to work now but will try to keep tabs on this. Anyone who is already a member feel free to invite other amiibros to the watch.

Would love to be part of this, but I'm unfamiliar with LINE? Is it like Kakao?

 

[CH4OS]

You already know I wanna be added

TechMemphis and Nerd_Incognito:
Can you search for me and add me? I'm having problems finding you. CH4OS
This worked for Kierwynn too, don't know what's up with that.

My Mega Man, Dedede, Shulk and Metaknight just shipped (all MSRP). Should I cancel my backup pre-order?

If you don't care about defects, bad paint jobs, or possible packaging damage, sure.

It's just another messenger app kinda like KIK if you are familiar with that. Simply download the app, create an ID, and either send to me or search for me: CH4OS

I will add you to the groups when I get some free time.
Off to work!

Mine shipped.

Welp, I hate Toys R Us even more now.

They packaged my Megaman, Ike, and Sonic all f'd up so the boxes are destroyed. Luckily I have these three preordered for in store pickup at GameStop, so I'll just open up these busted box ones once I get the ones from GameStop.

Just missing DeDeDe and Meta Knight from Bestbuy.com and I'll be wave 1/2/3 complete. Hoping Bestbuy does a better job cause I only have 1 of each of those two.

Edit: In retrospect, Toys R Us canceling my amiibo preorders was the best thing that could have happened because I preordered from GameStop right after just in case. So at least I'll have these three backups.

Oh also, last best buy shipment had a broken toon link. So I am worried about DeDeDe and Meta Knight. LOL

 

[NMFried]

My Meta Knight from Best Buy is preparing order.
Sonic is preparing order from Target.

Ike, DeDeDe and Mega Man will be picked up once Gamestop finally gets them in.
WFT and Villager on the way from awesome gaffers.

Waves 1, 2 and 3 are close to completion.

If it's an NA Metaknight extra you may have, I could use it!
Last of Wave 3 that I need.

Went ahead and nabbed him. So now all i need is Meta Knight from Best Buy on friday. The weight is being lifted, so very close to being caught up. Well, that and that motherfucking Villager.

 

[secondratesaint]

So, uh, what the hell does that five day delay mean? Should I expect a crushed box? This is my first order from Amazon UK to the States.

Same.

It does have to clear customs. That's likely it.

Looks like it's actually happening, hopefully we get ours in tact and not partially destroyed -_-

That's kind of what I figured, but the 'problem resolved' part just kinda put me on edge.

 

[Rezae]

Got a decent deal on a German Villager. Another unicorn to check off. Got lucky last week with the nowinstock.net tracker and have Ike, Mega Man, and Sonic scheduled to be delivered today or tomorrow from Target.com. It's starting to all come together...


For anyone interested, I have an extra Lucario and Fox NA NIB. Rosalina and Pit are on my radar next, if anyone has extras.

 

[Nori Chan]

Metaknight is in process. What does that mean?

I hope Nintendo realizes how popular Lucina actually is and makes her fairly common. I really hope she's like Diddy Kong-- hard to find then BOOM everywhere.

 

[ThisBeJason]

Sonic has been delivered, however, my shipment has hit 2 delays due to severe weather. In other news, MetaKnight and DDD are preparing shipment from BB. With these 3, Wave 3 will FINALLY be over.

I can't believe even with preorders for all of wave 3, it's still not even over yet. With the original release date of Feb 1st and it now being almost 3 weeks in, we're still not done. Crazy. I can't imagine NOT having any preorders at all. Sheesh.

She a fire emblem character. Not very likely.

Who group do I sign for? I remember blue namagem doing some kind of google hangout but ch4os now doing a line messenger thing. Which ones we doing?

 

[LiK]

Metaknight is in process. What does that mean?

In Process is the standard thing they use like with GameStop with an Open order.

 

[twelver]

How rare is sheik? Best buy near me says in stock..

Didn't Marth have the highest sell through in the US? With more Marth coming, I half expect the Fire Emblem characters to become easier to find if the stores are going to actually carry them.

 

[ThisBeJason]

The fact that Nintendo acknowledged that they didn't handle the earlier waves properly tells me they are going to try to be prepared for wave 4.

Nintendo? Prepared? You're a real funny person, you! It actually tells me quite the opposite, this'll be worse than ever. Wave 1 = ok job, only some cancellations. Wave 2 = scattered releases but info got out. Wave 3 = amiibogeddon for the month of Feb. Wave 4 = amiibogeddon II

 

[spyroflame0487]

Hmm intrasting.
Sonic is the only remainder in my Gamestop Reservations area. Ike and D3 both disappeared when Shulk came in (they didn't have them yet and told me that it'd be on the 21st) and Mega appears to have disappeared now too.

Sonic not getting delayed, right?

 

[Karkador]

People ordering Ike from Amazon UK- what did it tell you for estimated delivery day?

 

[GuardianE]

In Process is the standard thing they use like with GameStop with an Open order.

Clicking on the order for me shows "Preparing Order," whereas other preorders are still left on "Payment Validated".

Sonic not getting delayed, right?

Delayed from Gamestop? That'd be odd. My Sonic order shipped from Walmart.

 

[Tesseract]

can i still get zelda

 

[melman101]

I guess my boxes aren't too bad. Just a little dented in the plastic box portion.

 

[falconxcrunner09]

Briefly skimmed the past couple pages so there is going to be an AmiiboGAF user notification system put in place?

 

[theSlacker]

Didn't Marth have the highest sell through in the US? With more Marth coming, I half expect the Fire Emblem characters to become easier to find if the stores are going to actually carry them.

Because he sold completely out. Same with the others in the top.

 

[AdanVC]

Yup. This. Every figure will be an exclusive with different release dates and only like, 4 copies of each one and only two for Ness for the entire American continent. Europe of course a single release date without exclusives and plenty of stock you can even find them on bakery shops and hospitals in Germany.

 

[DooD1234]

Didn't Marth have the highest sell through in the US? With more Marth coming, I half expect the Fire Emblem characters to become easier to find if the stores are going to actually carry them.

That also depends if Nintendo actually make enough to combat scalpers hoarding all of them.

Highest sell through just mean they sold all their stock. I imagine Peach is the worst. Wonder why they produced so much for.

Last minute lucky metaknight best buy order has shipped D:

Won't get a headache now :')

Guys check your targets. For some reason my store got two boxes of Sheik in today. If there's anyone in Sacramento near arden that needs one come get it!

 

[SalvaPot]

Got an e-mail from TRU "Unexpected Delay", I fear for my Ike and I open the email. They just wanted to let me know they don´t have the Kirby game yet, well, I can´t be upset about that!
