Nintendo will replenish Amiibo supplies in Aus and NZ over the coming months

Nintendo Australia has today revealed limited quantities of amiibo figurines will be replenished in stores across both Australia and New Zealand, with some of the figurines being sourced from other regions and featuring different packaging:

Good for y'all in Australia and New Zealand! :D

Nintendo of America however.....

Um...OMFG

Its going to be sourced from America isn't it. I already know its true. Why. Maybe not...ok it is.
 
Went to Target today, and saw one of those big Rosalina signs above the amiibo section, but when I asked a clerk, he scanned the bar code and said they hadn't gotten any in since the initial launch. Not sure why they hung that giant salt-in-the-wound sign up...
And while I was checking out with my Pikachu, the clerk said that when they first came out, he saw people buying "literally 40 of these things", and I had to resist from going on a scalper rant.

Also, GS emailed me that my Ike has been delayed until "sometime this Spring"...
 
So at what time does BestBuy open on Friday? And what weapons should I bring?

10am, but be sure you are somehow able to know if your store is getting extra stock, because best buy its always extremely undersupplied. Also... there is going to be a line since 6am for sure, maybe the night before.
 
Thanks, guys. :) Yeah, I imagine people would show up pretty early, though I was the first in line for the Mega Man release at TRU. However, this being a store exclusive is a whole different ball game. Maybe I should just sleep in. :/
 
im happy as fuck just by getting them sure amiibos are too expensive in peru (20usd each) but fuck it im happy now to find a marth one. got rosalina meta knight and shulk on hold im getting them tomorrow. maybe just rosalina and meta knigh tho.
 
Ah, I can't help but laugh. Minutes after I post to ask about the Mega Man situation, I miss him going in and out of stock. What a world.

Looks like I'll be refreshing NowInStock.net all night.
 
I picked up a bunch of sonic and mega man to help out other amiibro's. Cost+Shipping, I'm in Canada though. If your interested just send me a pm
 
I'm going to a few Best Buys on Friday.

What should I be on the look out for?

I also have access to their inventory system...
Not remotely

Nowinstock really doesn't work very well at all, especially recently. Also, I wouldn't expect more activity tonight.

You are right. But the world of amiibo is a dark and desperate place with little meaning. It's basically a Jean Genet play, but with plastic Nintendo toys.
 
Who is on twitter that I haven't followed yet here? I want to follow some people on the off chance I get banned again...which seems very likely since the start of this year.
I'm not popular around here or anything, but I do post a lot of stupid randi@om gaming stuff. :p @typeSOUL
10:00 am, and bring any weapons with stat bonuses when fighting scalpers. I like swords myself...
I do have a long sword with +3 against cave dwellers. Will that work?

It's supposed to be 8 degrees here when best buy opens Friday. Should scare off all but scalpers really.

I'd like to get a meta knight, but all this shit makes me realize they're just toys I can live without.
 
Random tought: All this amiibo madness and insane demand but Wii U consoles literally sitting on retail shelves forever.

:'/

All they have to do is make each Koopa Kid exclusive to a different Wii U SKU. GENIUS!

Was 11 degrees last week and there were still a ton at TRU. Going to be -1 this Friday and I expect there to be more.

I'm really not looking forward to it. Really wish I didn't miss out on Meta when he went up a few days ago, and on Ike some more today. Hoping that stuff comes up again since I don't want to go out there 2 hours early only to have someone that showed up after me just run by me and the store not care.

It was -10 here for the n3DS launch and I am 99% sure the first person in line was a scalper. He was about 35-40. "I am here for my kid." I doubt he has a kid old enough to have played Majora's Mask back when it came out.

I don't think a kid would even know about the variations to the n3DS model. I digress, though. Prepare like it's a console if you really want the figure so badly.

Nah, it'll be Japan. A dude in a store told me this today, before I read this. At first I thought it was just EB getting stock from Japan but seems like it's a Nintendo Australia thing.
 
Holy crap, 3 of my Mega Mans are shipping from Nippon-Yassan, arriving Monday!! YES! Nin-Nin Games, come through already!!

So close, it's almost happening!
 
Hi AmiiboGaf,

I need you guys' opinion.

For christmas, i received a receipt with some of Wave 3B pre-ordered from GameStop around early December, there was a spare that I already reserved, so I switched the extra pre-order over to a King Dedede pre-order.

I called my GameStop and asked them about it, worried. They said "yeah we got the email about it", paused for a second, said almost in a 'don't stress about it' kind of voice "call back 2/25"

What do you think it means? Is my pre-order safe? Will I count as reserving it earlier because of my other ones?

I'm so confused, the worst part of it is that I passed on Dedede at TRU because of the pre-order I had :

Did you get some from Amazon today? Rather, did you get all 7? :O

How long did shipping take from Nippon-Yasan? I pre-ordered a Suzaku Edition PS4 from there and it'd be cool to know about how long it would take to reach me.
 
I was really hoping Meta Knight came back at Best Buy again. Really don't feel like braving 0 degree weather, especially since like 4 of the people I met at TRU last Friday said they are all gonna be in line at the BB down the block.

Really could have saved me the trouble if I just got in on the BB online orders the other day.

I just received shipment confirmation today, with confirmed delivery for Monday. I chose 2-3 FedEx shipping, so I'm getting it quick.

The other 4 were ordered from Nin-Nin Game, but I'm worried that I won't get it next week. I contacted their customer service,I hope to hear back soon.
 
Funny irony... Nintendo finds products with high demand but can't meet it while demand doesn't meet supply for the main console. I'm still baffled and somewhat annoyed by the way they are treating some products but oh well. I've decided to only get what's fairly easy to get, won't bother collecting or paying high prices for stuff I shouldn't be.


My Twitter handle is the same as my GAF username. Follow me and I'll follow back.

This is not hte first time we've noticed that people are ten times more hyped for the concept of collecting nintendo toys than any actual gameplay implementation of amiibo yet made.

Just imagine if Wii Us sold as crazy as amiibo.. like really. "Wii U available on BB gooooooooooooooooo!!" and boom! sold out 15 seconds later, hah. Sigh :(

All they have to do is make each Koopa Kid exclusive to a different Wii U SKU. GENIUS!

God damn that is actually a good idea! Wii U bundles with an amiibo set of 3 or 5 figures. Koopa Kid, or any of those cool Super Mario characters that don't get too much recognition, etc.

Nah, preordered from Nippon-Yassan and Nin-Nin. If I had known these would be available today, I wouldn't have preordered for as much as I did from these sites...wish I knew. These amiibos were pricey, particularly from Nin-Nin.

Different colored Wii U SKUs with one Koopa Kid inside.

AT RANDOM.

Even better, make Marth/Lucina/Robin/Ike Bundle with a Fire Emblem x Shin Megami Tensei Wii U bundle, throw in a SMT Character there while they are at it.

Get NAMES. Call back and ask for that persons name. Or better yet go there. Be nice but make sure you know who's responsible for getting you your figure without giving it to someone else. Make sure they have your order in their system. Check back here on 2/22 and every day following. Why? Because usually we will post if our local gamestops are getting DDD. If ours are, usually all GS's around the country will get them around those same days.
