So... I guess no-one has any idea what time Argos would be updating the website so you can reserve amiibos?

I want a Shulk badly, but it's about an hours walk to the nearest argos before work, and nothing would suck more than getting there only to see them all reserved.

 

[Karkador]

Amiibo OT6 - Christmas in July

Amiibo OT6 - Your Christmas is already cancelled

 

[Fox Mulder]

I'll trade a sealed shulk for meta knight, or I'll probably buy one off amazon.

Gonna cry if Amazon UK starts blocking amiibo imports before Wave 4 ships out. I'm counting on them and was expecting a stress free wave 4 but now I can worry about a potential import block!

Points to global supply issues while Nintendo blames it on a dock strike here.

Just got a call for Ike and Dedede, telling me Ike was limited to one per household.

But nothing on Sonic and Megaman, I'm getting genuinely angry regarding Sonic. I swore he would be the first amiibo I opened

Sonic and MegaMan are gonna be available on Wednesday no matter when you preordered, but they'll probably be preorder only. I wouldn't worry as long as you preordered.

 

[Incendiary]

Got a call from Gamestop today that my DeDeDe and Ike will be available to buy next Wednesday. They also mentioned that Ike was in limited stock so they're only allowing one per household. Didn't get that for DeDeDe though, so maybe he'll be more common?

Amiibros:

I've got an extra Skeik, Toon Link and Bowser to trade. Send me a PM. Looking for DDD, Mega Man, Sonic, Meta Knight and Shulk.

US only. Let me know.

 

[WiiRevolution1]

I'm hoping this too. At least for the duration of a whole day or a couple of days. The only character that sold out right away so far has been Rosalina with Target. The others were up for a while as I recall.

That was before it "caught on" every character except maybe Wario and Charizard won't last more than 10 minutes on online sites like amazon. Hopefully instore GS will last aleast a day. Guess it depends on the store.

 

[Gurrry]

just got 2 automated calls from gamestop telling my I dont get my ike until later this spring

awesome.....

atleast dedede is coming on 2/25

Amiibo Thread 6 | My Thread 4 orders were delayed and canceled by GS and TRU

Amiibo OT100: If we're skipping, eff it, why not go to 100?

 

[Thoraxes]

Just got 2 calls confirming both my Ike and DDD for pickup at Gamestop next week on the 25th.

The Ike one says that it's extremely limited and is 1 per person only.

 

[dmr87]

Mega Man incoming.

 

[jlscool]

Just got my call from Gamestop regarding King DeDeDe, but no mention of my other preorders for Mega Man and Sonic. I was hoping I would be picking all 3 of them up on the 25th.

 

[Maengun1]

No call from my Gamestop yet :/

I just asked in person yesterday, too

Speak of the devil. Just got 2 robocalls saying Ike and DDD will be at my Gamestop for pick up on the 25th. Hooray!!

Should Sonic and Mega be in then too? No mention of them. I guess I'll just call tomorrow and check to be sure.

edit: haha jinx jlscool

 

[Hippopuncher12]

They gave you that much of an advance notice? My store just calls as they come in.

Yeah they typically call the day before. I assume they are calling this early because of all the apparant delays maybe?

Seriously? I'll give you Mario, Peach, and Diddy for them.

Damn everyone is getting robo calls. I want my wobo cawl!

That is a great pic to represent trying to get an order in.

Hey, I've got a Caterpie, Weedle, and Pidgey, willing to trade for Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, and Arceus, PM me.

Spoiler

no one will ever make those trades

 

[Gunstarheroes]

The anticipation for tomrrow is driving me nuts. I just wanna win the battle against Mother Nature and "Those That Shall Not Be Named"

 

[Amiibro]

Any one has any movement on the Amazon orders that went up yesterday? Mega Man has not moved. Not sure it said in stock when I ordered so IDK if it's a preorder or something they have.

 

[Jeff Vader]

Welp, I better make sure my 3DS is charged tonight for tomorrow, it shall be needed to keep me busy while I wait in line.

 

[WiiRevolution1]

The photos of Amiibo sections in stores in Germany are blowing my mind.

Why doesn't anyone on here ship them to us in NA? Too much trouble? Tell me pioces, and I'd probably do it for one of them. Would be great for me if I can pay without having to call my CC to charge a foreign order. I don't really like doing that.

Then again all I can pay is with US eShop or amazon credit so I probably couldn't do that anywayz lmao.

 

[Bog]

I get not wanting to feed the scalping assholes, but I have to question those willing to wait in line for hours to maybe get a Meta Knight. I'd just pay the $40 first.

 

[Nocturn]

Got my Ike from Target today. They just threw him in there with no protection. Just the amiibo and the target receipt. Wtf. I'm surprised it arrived perfectly fine. The box isn't damaged either. Dodged a bullet there.

 

[theSlacker]

Have you gone out and made sure of stocks yet?

I still don't think it is worth it for me, since I can't run. Really hoping a few go up again tonight.

 

[AndyMoogle]

I pre-ordererd a Mega Man just for fun. I really didn't expect to get one, but apparently it's the only one no one wants here in Sweden.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

So the Wal-Mart in the worst section of my town ended up having the best Amiibo lineup. It had all the regulars plus a few Toon Links (the first time I have seen it in store), which I snagged one of!

I also just picked up my shipment of Mega Man and Sonic (from Target), so it has been a good Amiibo day. I'm at 14 amiibos now, I'm pretty stoked! I still can't believe I passed up on Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, and Marth during the launch though *sigh*.

 

[SmackAttack]

Just got my GameStop call. Ike is mine on Wednesday!

Every time I try to add to cart.

Yoink, it's gone.

Someone needs to put Wave 4 pre-orders over that.

 

[Gartooth]

Amazon.fr now - Amazon.ca + Amazon.fr are the two that prevent them so far

Well shit... here's hoping I'm successful on getting things domestically. I only imported once, but my experience getting Wii Fit Trainer and Lucario from Amazon.de was great and I'd hate to not have that as an alternative.

 

[Fox Mulder]

I get not wanting to feed the scalping assholes, but I have to question those willing to wait in line for hours to maybe get a Meta Knight. I'd just pay the $40 first.

Meta knight is $32 shipped on amazon, which isnt that bad I guess if you don't mind an import. I'd rather do that than wait hours in 8 degree weather.

 

[Dominator]

Has anybody else's GameStop's gotten Sonic, Mega Man, Ike or Dedede yet? I feel like I'm the only one. I got the calls but we still got them in today.

 

[spyroflame0487]

I get not wanting to feed the scalping assholes, but I have to question those willing to wait in line for hours to maybe get a Meta Knight. I'd just pay the $40 first.

I'd rather wait in line to get something I really like and chat with people who are also big fans then pay a dime over MSRP for a plastic toy to some butthead guy who has to ruin everyone's fun. (or, in the case of shipping it from another country, that's a last resort measure)

Waiting in line in front of Target was actually kind of fun. We chatted, we Smashed, and then we got our Rosies. I'm hoping there will be a similar thing happening at BB.

 

[Jagsrock]

My D3 is summer now just when i thought my wave 3 hunting was almost over.

 

[Mzo]

It really doesn't sound like GS will have any extras if even preorders are being delayed.

It's between going to Best Buy or Walmart for me now.

 

[Peagles]

You should see the rest of the shelves

Should I post them?

 

[Alaskanbullworm]

My D3 is summer now just when i thought my wave 3 hunting was almost over.

Yep, I got the call for him for Summer as well. And what really sucks was how there were a few opportunities to get him that I passed on since I thought they'd have him. And then the memo happened...

What's the temp where you live? I'm more talking about the folks lining up for hours in single-digit temperatures.

 

[theSlacker]

Yus.

 

[Busaiku]

Wait, Wave 4 went up for preorder?

 

[Jagsrock]

Yeppp I had so many chances but I passed because I that gs had things under control.
-_- I just want the Kirby trio dammit, sigh. Hopefully I have better luck tmrw.

 

[spyroflame0487]

Cleveland here, It's gonna be negative 14 tomorrow.
As is tradition in Cleveland, we wear our shorts and flipflops out in negative degree weather.

 

[Spades]

So... I guess no-one has any idea what time Argos would be updating the website so you can reserve amiibos?

I'm planning on checking just after midnight just in case it's an automatic thing. If not, I'll set an alarm for 5am, 6am and then 7am to check. Post here if you get any success and I'll do the same!

 

[ThisBeJason]

Wait, Wave 4 went up for preorder?

So far at:

Amazon.co.uk
Amazon.fr (not available for US/CA)
Game.co.uk (not available for US/CA) (is that right?)
EBgames Australia (not available for US/CA)
Maybe a couple others that only ship in Europe, Australia, or NZ

 

[Windom Earle]

Nintendo are big trolls for releasing the best characters (Meta, DDD, MM, arguably Shulk) all in one go!

 

[Fox Mulder]

Gotta have multiple preorders at different retailers, which only makes the stock issue worse.

 

[Busaiku]

So far at:

Amazon.co.uk
Amazon.fr
Game.co.uk (that the right name?)
EBgames Australia (that right too?)
Maybe a couple others that only ship in Europe, Australia, or NZ

AUGH

 

[Danthrax]

Wow, there are two Foxes at my TRU! Haven't seen these guys out in the wild since December.

 

[Fourth Storm]

Mega Man incoming.

Interesting angle in that pic. The amiibos look strange for some reason. Like Mario's nose looks like when you mess with it before jumping into Mario 64.

 

[Rocky]

Wow, there are two Foxes at my TRU! Haven't seen these guys out in the wild since December.

Nintendo World has had tons of Foxes for a while now. Didn't think he was a really rare one.
