I got a QQ about importing some Amiibo from Amazon Japan...

Anyone ever order from one of the many 3rd parties that Amazon lists? I see some of the Amiibo's I want, and with the current exchange rate, I would pay about what it would cost in the US...

ANy help would be appreciated.

I only ever used fulfilled by amazon sellers for third party ones, so I can still just easy return it if it's damaged. Don't know if that is as important to people who don't have prime though.
 
Yes, though you'll only get Ike if you preordered on or before 12/26 and ypu'll only get Dedede if you preordered on or before 12/30. Sonic and Mega Man will be available no matter when you preordered them.

Thanks, I'll double check my order emails.
 
For those that asked:

Waited 15 minutes in the video game section while the one employee couldn't figure out which controller charge cable the customer he was helping needed (she had a ps3, and he couldn't figure out which one was which), while only side eyeing me; not so much as an "ill be right with you." After he finally got her the right cord, he walks away right past me with something in his hand to go put on the shelf with, again, 0 acknowledgment. I waited a few more minutes, and after nothing, I walked to the other side of the section where he was talking to another employee in car audio. This time, he does look up at me, and, not before rolling his eyes, asks "What?" I mention I know he's probably asked about it a lot, but if he knew if he knew anything about the Metaknights for tomorrow. He audibly sighs, says no, and turns back to his friend. Confused, I ask if he could check to see if they at least had any that weren't preordered. Ignored, still talking to friend. I mention that id rather not have to wait 2 hours in the cold for something they may not even have. His friend laughs, he turned to me, smirked and shrugged, and walked off. And that's when I walked out before I got into a shouting match with the manager I was seconds away from asking for.

i went in intending to get a new microwave, too, but fuck if i ever step foot in there, or any other best buy, again.

Having worked at GameStop for 5 years, it always blows my mind when I get that kind of service. I get you hate your job, but seriously? Come the fuck on.

If it wasn't for the one guy at my local Best Buy, I would have to define is as a prime example that Best Buy (Not to mention TRU, and WalMart) doesn't hire people who are any good at their job/know the product.
 
Hello GAF,

This is esmith's mom. He is in jail right now for spraying a pregnant lady with mace at BestBuy. He used his phone call to tell me to tell you guys that he won't be securing a Meta Knight tomorrow.

These jobs pay shit and they get people that don't give a damn. Anyone with any ambition or retail skills will get in management.

If yu where any kind of mother, you'd go get it for him :P

No joke, I applied to that department once, went in for an interview and everything, nothing. A week later, I stopped in for something on sale (I think it was a controller, I don't remember), and I asked the guy a general question (Didn't have my phone on me to check myself). And he was all just "uhs" and "ums", before he goes "I'm sorry this is my 2nd day here, I don't know games that well".

Thats why when it comes to retail, I tend to remember the words "There'll always be someone less qualified than you doing your interview"

"US version"

Has picture of EU numbered version...

Know what's worse? He's from Canada... US version indeed

Didn't FYE have pre-orders?
 
Any word on Megaman in the US? Should I bother going out to look for one tomorrow, or do no stores have them yet?

He should have used his call tell a friend to secure that Meta Knight. tsk tsk.
 
Sigh, these are the ebay sellers that make the rest of us look bad. Of course with a feedback of 6, no way I'd buy anything he is selling and neither should anybody else.

4 available / 5 sold

The thirst is real!

Lol. Can't we actually report this since we know for a fact he doesn't have a pre-order in since pre-orders haven't started yet?

Btw, it seems I'm a day behind. So Toys R Us really is going to be selling amiibos based on Evilos custom amiibo repaints?

Yes, in fact, I just did:

Listing category: Listing Practices
Reason for Report: Fraudulent Listing Activities
Detailed Reason: You suspect a listing is fraudulent.

This person is obviously ripping people off. I try to report things like this when I see them. Report link is on the right side of the listing.
 
Guuuuys...Should I even bother trying to get a Meta Knight? They said they'd have some available...but sleep is pretty awesome too.

It's going to be 8 degrees here in NC, I heard horror stories from target and TRU, and don't want to deal with scalper bullshit.

Best I can do is offer sealed shulk or buy off amazon.
 
Yikes...not going for Meta Knight tomorrow. Weather forecast says wind chill will be between -15 and -25 when Best Buy opens tomorrow. Not waiting in line with that. If there is no restock, I'll be buying on ebay
 
ok question did anybody legit preorder an metaknight amiibo from best buy?

Because we got like 11 of them in the store and if there were 11 of me in the store im sure we could all "claim" them. So becareful
 
Damn, it's even colder than last week for the MM 3DS tonight.

I hope people stay in their cars till like 10 minutes before opening, but they won't.

I screwed it up last week at TRU. Got out my car simply to grab something from the truck and like 6 people immediately got out their cars and we all had to line up 55 minutes before. Luckily TRU let us inside where the carts are when there was 25 mins left. Plus they handed specific Amiibo tickets in the line.

Best Buy probably won't give 2 damns.
