Amiibo Thread 5 | Because we didn't preorder thread 4

Not open for further replies.
Hey everyone. About to call it a night, but I wanted to chime in here.

The AmiiboGAF Line chat has 73 people now, and we're getting closer to the 100 limit. Anyone still interested in joining, please PM me, CH4OS, Diggeh, or ThisBeJason, and we'll be glad to add more fellow AmiiboGAFers as soon as we can.

If you're unfamiliar, Line is a very user friendly chat app for mobile or PC, and this is an Alert system set up with 2 chats, general and Alerts. We chat it up in the general chat (this has Notifications Off), which is kept separate from the Alerts. When someone has an update on preorders or availability of sought-after Amiibos, it gets posted in the Alerts chat, which has notifications on, so your mobile device will ring/vibrate and you'll be aware as soon as everyone else by whoever posted it, making it that much easier and more efficient to be in the know.

So far, many relevant updates that have been posted in the thread have made it to users' phones as notifications, and we've helped each other secure a good amount of Amiibos. The more people keeping an eye out for availability and sending the Alert to the group, the better, so please consider joining, especially before all the spots are filled.

Not to mention, it's also a cool realtime chat with fellow active AmiiboGAFers, so we'd love to hear from more of you!

If you have any questions, PM us and we'll answer next chance we get. Hope to see you all in Line, it's working great!
 
Also if you're in the UK, Australia and New Zealand and wanted Mega Man or Sonic, 365games/gameshop have them in stock but they're putting the price up as demand increases so get in quickly.
 
Good luck to you amiibros that plans to get meta knight tomorrow. I'm not gonna even attempt to bother with meta knight after the whole rosalina fiasco. I'm not trying to outrun people in the cold >_>

I already have my Meta Knight preordered, so no problem. My Ike should be in tomorrow as well. After Sonic, Dedede and Ike, all I need is Villager. I really want that one to get a reprint. >_>

ADD: I talked with a Gamestop employee today that Sonic and Dedede would arrive next week due to the West Coast Port Strikes.
 
My Ike and DDD orders shipped from Amazon! There were separate orders but Amazon combined em to one which is great! Will arrive by this Monday!
 
Apparently my Meta Knight shipped to my local Best Buy and is there for pickup 0_o Didn't even get an email so not sure when it even showed up.
 
Remember last night when I told you that Amazon UK cancelled my order for wave 4 even though I ordered in 8th of Decemeber

So I just woken up & guess what Amazon shipped my order wave 3 complete

Mega-Man, Sonic, Meta Knight, King DeDeDe & Shulk

got a 6 pounds voucher for cancelling my order to

The newest Wave have been added to the Toys R Us (UK) website, but all of the newest wave are listed as Sorry, out of stock for Delivery at the moment.

I read the first bit of that and then got excited... Then I got incredibly depressed.

It's been that way for the past few days.

Ah, were they added today? I assumed they'd gone up days earlier and I'd just missed them, so I stopped paying attention. If those are new and just show no stock yet I'll keep an eye, thanks.

Can't say I've noticed them on there before personally, but I could be wrong.

I've been looking on the site for the past 12 hours, they were on there yesterday.

Edit:

Also Gamestop UK had a glitch where it said Meta Knight was in stock for 10 minutes, turns out nobody was able to actually buy one.
 
I really wonder when Wave 4 US will be released. Might even get delayed compared to the rest of the world. I mean, we're already having issues with Wave 3, and the SM Wave is around the corner.

I just hope Nintendo realizes the potential insanity over Lucina and made her a common.
 
I wish there was a stronger community for UK Amiibros, seems like most places are focused on US release, and a lot of the fun of it is the banding together for the common cause.
 
No problem, I missed out on Little Mac and I didn't preorder King Dedede after being disappointed by pre ordering before so I'm in a mad rush to get one.

If you're an opener, I managed to get a DDD for little over £15 shipped from Japan last night after ShopTo messed up my DDD order.

Maybe we should set up some sort of sub-community, even if it's just to be used around wave releases?

I'm not sure what I am yet... I have a boxed Marth, Lucario, Diddy Kong and Shiek but an unboxed Fox and Captain Falcon.

It all depends on how good the box is.

Yeah, I mean there's a Canadian thread right? I didn't want to create one for fear of over saturation though. It would be nice to filter out all the Targets and Best Buys and Gamestops for the Argos and Tesco and GAME stores though :P
 
I'm hoping to grab a Shulk and Meta Knight off the Nintendo Store today if theres any left over stock like I did with Rosalina

Yeah I was going to maybe suggest a UK, or European dedicated amiibo thread? Sometimes when I post something in here I feel as though it gets lost amongst the American based posts.

That would be great, its pretty hard to get up with this thread for UK Amiibo discussions
