Hey, at least it's not comb over Shulk.
lol. Not sure about the hair, but nose and parts of the face had some dark sprinkle on it.
I also noticed that 70% of the Link figures seem to have a crooked sword.

Just got sonic
We have five preorders already set aside and just got another 7 in to sell on Friday. There's a fine line with what an employee can share online so I won't post my store, but call your local store today and ask if they got a shipment of MK in for Friday. Also only have one Megaman, no Sonic, no DDD.

Is it only for store pickup? Can;t get it. Not at a store near me. Don;t see a shipping option

So, in light of the recent gamestop news, what is the current best store to use for future preorders? Best Buy has shipped me an amiibo in a crushed bubble mailer, and someone may just walk off with their in store preorders. How about the other places? Who has the best packaging standards and hasn't murdered a figure in shipping? I'd like to go all amazon but every single special edition I have gotten from them has been destroyed in shipping.
Yeah, I think I'm going to call around a couple of other stores to get a rough idea since the phone service says right off the bat that they can't reveal inventory numbers. At that particular location though, I'm assuming they are getting extras since it would've been better if the guy just told me flat out "no" if they weren't.

lol BestBuy waited two whole months to cancel my free ones from the glitched B2G1 free sale it seems. My Mega Man is probably going to be cancelled too.
Never shopping at this shithole ever again

There is no safe way. Amazon has bent the cardboard to fit them in the box. Toys R US shipped my Fox in a padded envelope and Best Buy did so with my Donkey Kong
Hey Deja vu lol
Got one, store pick up only. My store had one.

I told you I'd try to cross post from LINE! But LINE peeps get it first. Like 20 seconds earlier.

Purchased Sanic, thanks Diggeh! Didn't really care if I got him or not, but one more for the collection, I guess. First new one since Rosalina. In-Store Pickup but it's weird they said it would be held from 2/13-2/21, today's the 18th (WTF)?
*edit* wut? Preorder available 2/13, held until release date? Second email - not available in selected store.
Welp, 'twas but a flash in the pan.

Seems to be a glitch, they opened preorders for something that was already released. I got the same thing. Here's hoping it's not canceled.
Best Buy took so goddamn long with the Verify my account email that it vanished from all the nearby stores that had it :\
Inventory really shouldn't be given out but it can be a judgement call. Would I rather tell you how many we're getting so if you see six people in line you know not to bother waiting outside in -20 temperatures? Absolutely.
Great, I don't even remember when I preordered them. At this rate Gamestop will miss their February release date for 4 of those amiibos.

In for one cancellation, amirite?
Still shows available at 8/10 closest stores to my ZIP, including the one at which I just selected and was denied.
Where's my gift card for your incompetence, BB?
Shulk came in! Other than a bit of a rough paint job on the hand holding the Monado he looks good and avoided the dreaded derp face so I'm happy.
Haha, I'm too OCD to send in a bubble bag. Maybe that's why mine's costing more. Hopefully the person I'm sending it too is the same as me
If you need Ike let me know cos I literally have two sitting right here.
Thanks man I'll keep it in mind. I've spent so much more on amiibo than I've intended to, but still kept it limited to characters I like so far. If I bought Ike it would just be for DLC purposes in Codename Steam lol.

Placed an order for Sonic at BB, and got cancelled right away
yes
All good. If you're in Auckland we could always meet up if you just want to scan him in
You're right about that, I'm going to see what I can get out of the reps I speak to. Thanks for providing some insight into this!

Hehe thanks but if they die you have to scan them back in. Ninty too smart to let people away with that.
Oh lol I had no idea! Thought it'd just be like Mario Kart 8!

It's what I get for having to use my work computer to work from home today. Alas! I coulld drive 40 minutes away, but at that point it's so much gas and time I might as well just pay the scalper premium
My Sonic order I just placed was cancelled. Got a notice the store didn't have it any longer. I had to go to the order page to pick another store but when I got there the only option I had available was to cancel.
of course I paid using Paypal so they took the money immediately. Wonder how long it will take them to refund it?

I don't think any Shulk have the dreaded Derp face. He's just a beautiful man.

Do you know when, exactly? The phone number I have for them to contact me at isn't exactly ideal.

Today is good day. Got my Peach, ($10 Sale) Link, and my Brawl main and still one of my all time favorite characters: TOON LINK in the mail from amazon today! FUCK YEAH!
Had a scare tho, my TL's sword sheath came completely off. After all this waiting I was like HELL NO but thankfully, just plugging it back in made it secure. Tried it a couple times and when its in it stays pretty goodly in so hopefully it'll be fine.
(Bad) pictures coming later today.
Next up on the agenda: Mega Man (No money at the moment except in amazon credit til March so lol at getting it this month) Kirby, Wave 4.

That sucks. They've shipped all of mine from that sale so far, even the free ones. Still waiting on confirmation for my 3Bs though.
That he is.

Yeah I had a few ship.
Mega Man not cancelled yet but he's a free one and the other two in the order are preparing to ship already and he is not.
Oh well Amazon.de will work just fine for all future amiibo waves.
