Thankfully my MK's made it here in great condition. Shipping box was roomy for all 3 + bubble wrap. Was really scared since I vowed never to order anything from BB after they sold my fully paid Smash bundle reserve to someone else and seeing all the damaged from shipping pics here. I know others have received items just fine but the horror stories stick out more.

Best Buy delivered Meta Knight perfectly fine today. Also managed to snag an extra Dedede from Walmart. Missed out on Ike though.
I don't even want to know how much I've spent on all of these fucking amiibos so far.

Oh wow. Never really been a Kirby fan, but fuck, King Dedede is beautiful and I must have him.
I got the line app and friended Ch4OS on it but how do I get in on the alert?LINE is absolutely critical for getting these. Glad I can help, guys!
Also someone assure me when DDD going to be restocked. I'm wonder why Gamestop have have him delayed to summer and I'm really hoping DDD gets restocks just like Sheik and Toon Link. I kind of want to cancel my $25 DDD from amazon reseller right now but I'm not sure if he going to restocked at all.

Does anyone know if China, specifically Hong Kong, sells amiibos?
Dad is going to NA business trip to Hong Kong in March and offered to pick me up some amiibos if they are sold there.

Yup, turns out this is exactly what happened. Awesome.

I came here to post just this. My Meta Knight packaging is FUBAR thanks to shipping in a paper-thin bubble wrap envelope. Shitty, shitty stuff. I'm hoping I can track down someone who plans on opening theirs to maybe do a trade. :/

Call them out on it. The whole thing is the item, NOT just the figure inside. Looks like BB is just trying to cover their butts cuz they know they have shitty packaging.
I was able to meet a guy locally. Cool dude, traded my Meta Knight for these beauties.
I could really tell that he was super hyped and happy about meta knight, and he could tell I lived me some mega man. It really is about what you like and not what one thinks is super rare or expensive.

Glad yours arrived safe mine did as well 3 in a massive box with tons of bubble stuffing. Last Amiibos they sent (Fox) were 2 in a small lil box and 1 in a massive bubble mailer from the same place.
This wave is pretty darn sweet almost makes me wish I collected instead of being a dirty flipper. Wish i'd locked up more than exclusives lol people are insane for these things.

God, I miss when it was that warm
I know, right. It's negative degrees up here and double digit negatives with windchill. 30 would feel like a sauna.

I ordered 2 to help out but also because I was fearful of awful packaging. They did an excellent job on 2.
I don't think I b posted this here cuz that line app is stealing me away but if u go to BB and they don't have MK they should give you a 5 dollar coupon. Nintendo gave them to them to offset upset fans apparently. They were nice enough to give me one anyways and it dropped my Kirby game from the GCU price of 32 to 27. Pretty sweet.

If you think that's bad, there's this place in New York city called Supreme. It's an Streetwear clothingline that people go crazy for here in the city. They just recently released their Spring and summer collection on thursday morning. Here's the thing. Usually people campout for these overnight. So there was line formed around 8pm Wednesday night wrapped to the end of the corner. The store does not open until Thursday 11 A.M. At that moment the weather was around 12 or even single digit degree. It's crazy how people value stuff over health

Imagine the lines when the weather is warm
Oh I know. That's when the riots will break out, I think.
And it's gonna be in the 30s tomorrow, for just a day! Might frolick through the snowstorm in shorts and a T-shirt.

Your collection is badass. Can't imagine how much it must have cost to catch up in just 16 days. I'll bet those Toys R Us sales came in handy, though.
I honestly don't plan to order amiibo from them ever again unless another exclusive is announced. But the key to getting your stuff from them is ordering at least 3 since they seem to have the sense to put them in a bigger box that way.
Congrats to everyone who managed to get a Meta Knight today! I didn't even try lol.
I just gave my GameStop a ring on the phone to ask about Sonic and Mega Man (they're still listed as releasing today on the website). My store, at least, did not get them today. They must be coming in on Wednesday with Ike and DDD (who I got a robocall about yesterday).
Anyway, just an update.

Thanks the ordering of them is driving me nuts. Right now it is game affiliation and then similar characteristics. But character selection seems cool. I can't do to European number order cuz link isn't next to Zelda and that's dumb ha
Not to rub it in

I kind of wish it was colder so less people are in line for these kinds of things.Gucci Messiah

You could always do in store pickup and have them slap that massive white sticker across your item. Including collectors packaging, BB is awesome with GCU but slip on the little things.
lol. I'm grateful everyday that my mother decided to move from Ohio to California before I was born.

I was just going to say, your setup looks just like how I'd want to arrange my figures once I get all of them unboxed. I couldn't stand it if characters from the same game series were all over the place.
If it makes you feel better I have plenty of relatives that still live there who are freezing along with you right now.

Ha, you think weather would deter people? I was at BBY this AM and there were 10+ people out there. And this was only one of I think 4 in a 15 mil radius. Weather ain't stopping nobody
I was second in line >.>)

Went to check local Target for new amiibos, and all they had was about 7 or so Sheiks. I'm fine with that, since it means my LoZ collection is now done, but I would'nt object if they had an Ike or something..

Yeah my Meta Knight came a little bent up. I'm fairly anal about how my packages look and I'd be totally willing to trade my MK for someone else's perfectly packaged MK, but I guuuueeessss I could live with what I got.
Maybe.
Maybe.
My Meta Knight had the corner bent up some. Luckily it was not fully bent and I can just set it under a book to fix it. Some of the other stories here are bad about Best Buy packing.
Best Buy really messed up my Majoras Mask LE but after talking to a few people they put another on order and gave me a decent gift card for the trouble. I not expecting the re ship but the gift card was the right thing to do.
