Holy snap! that is tempting....

I figured that is what it would take to get one. It is in perfect condition with no creases either. Hopefully someone bites then I will just need Wii Fit Trainer, Marth (who I am going to try to get with the May restock), Little Mac, Shulk (already ordered and should arrive in May).

Got a trade for Sonic and Captain Falcon lined up too

BTW thanks for mailing Pit today.

Did megaman release at gamestops yet? The one I preordered at says they dont know when/if they are getting any even tho I preordered at same time as toon link (which I picked up a while ago).

I have Mega/Sonic/Ike/DDD all pre-ordered at Gamestop, and I got a robocall last week that Ike and DDD will be available on the 25th for pick up. Then I called my actual store to ask about Mega and Sonic and they didn't know when they were coming. I assume all 4 will come together? It's weird because Ike and DDD are the rarer ones so far.

Amiibo arrivals defy all logic. I guess I'll find out on Wednesday

It is really tempting to try and buy from NZ, but I imagine it is all but impossible to get it sent to NA.

I've looked into shipping stuff from Australia and NZ to NA, but the prices are just too high. It ends up being $30-35USD to ship an amiibo. You might as well just buy it from a local scalper and get it faster for a similar price.

Sweet lord of the south. Man...I really hope MK, gets at least one more shipment to BB. I was going to one in the most traffic intense part of town Friday, which apparently had a "bunch" but they were all gone by the time I got there. At least that trip showed me that my car's clutch is probably going bad

 

[Amiibro]

CH4OS I sent you a PM, just a heads up. Thanks

 

[Ryfferr]

Everyone from wave 3 except Ike. Or maybe Ike was in stock and I missed him.

Had to restrain myself from getting Sonic. I really don't like the pose of the Sonic amiibo, despite loving the character.

Even Shulk went back in stock again?

I saw him get a restock but I didn't think he'd get another.

He's been restocked at least three times by my count. He goes up and down quite a bit, and sells out pretty quickly.

Huh nice.

Wonder when Little Mac will get a restock.

 

[AdanVC]

Went for my copy of Kirbe' and the Rainbow Road this afternoon and the amiibo section as always was full of Luigi and Peach. Sigh.

WFT back in stock at amazon.de

EDIT: And gone.

 

[ZeroX03]

WFT back in stock at amazon.de

19EUR shipping. Totally would have otherwise.

Yeah I had to pass too only because I don't think the price is worth it unless you buy at least 3 amiibos to help reduce shipping per, and there isn't two other amiibos they have that I want right now.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

How rare is Sheik?

 

[Sorceror12]

How rare is Sheik?

Similar to how Diddy Kong was in Wave 2. Easier to find as time went on.

Still available, look at other sellers and select amazon.

right you are. Also available at that more cheeky amazon. But you have to do the same. Where you at in US WFT?

 

[Xamdou]

$13.39 for WFT plus $16.28 so $29.67 for Euro WFT shipped, still cheaper than ebay. Lol US WFT? Unicorn status.

 

[cloudstrife]

I just want to get my Wave 4 preorders in and forget about amiibo for 2 months.

Is that really too much to ask at this point.

Came out to $25 at uk for me. That's actually pretty good. $10 more for one on ebay. But I have a Japanese version, I really don't need it.

I feel like we somehow wronged Nintendo and this is our punishment.

Nice!, I got my EURO WFT from amazon.de before but for $17.86 since I bought some other Amiibos which brought the price down of each considerably. With international amazons the more you order the more you save overall.

i never pre ordered any of the waves, that will change this wave, i will hopefully pre order all of wave 4 on amazon and then decide what i want

i know i am going to miss pre orders haha ;_;

Agreed. Wave 1-3 is complete. NIB all NA versions. Super Mario Series Wave 1 is preordered in store, first ones preordered too.

Wave 4 backup is preordered with Amazon UK.

Would love NA preorders to go up and then relax until April/May. Fuck.

 

[SaviourMK2]

-is waiting to pounce on a Euro/Japanese Villager-

HE'S ALL I need left.... -is still kicking himself for passing over two of them-

 

[mgs2master2]

so lucina and robin secured from wave 4. Thanks to the pushbullet notification. God knows release date though. lol

 

[Shig]

Got an extra Sonic tonight. If anyone has a spare Mega Man they'd be willing to do a swap for, I'm verrrry interested.

 

[Byron Bluth]

JPN versions?

 

[mgs2master2]

JPN versions?

yep. dont mind though. Pretty cheap too in my opinion for em.

all i want is shulk and gannondorf if he is announced and i am out of the amiibo looking game. then i will use my amiibos to rule the world... or something.

 

[SaviourMK2]

I'm waiting for Amazon Japan to have them in stock, they tend to flux in terms of prices, and I like getting the lowest price and free shipping (minus the Tenso shipment)

Eh, compared to the US prices I wouldn't say that cheap, but perhaps worth it to save the headache of securing US ones.

 

[Brianâ˜]

Releases at the 29th of April.

The brilliant thing about importing amiibo from Japan/Europe is you get a set release date (wave 4 is Apr24 in EU, Apr29 in JP), instead of the scattered release date hell in North America.

 

[mgs2master2]

i think thats more accurate. Also do not want to deal with scalpers. At this price i am pretty much getting 2 of them for the price of 1 scalper.

Releases at the 29th of April.

Thanks for that heads up. I will probably keep these preorders for now, but If i can secure a US preorder from GS or Amazon or BB I will cancel these ones. These are basically the safety net.

I thought that all 6 of the Wave 4 where releasing at different dates within a month's time?

 

[rjinaz]

WFT also up on amazon.fr. It's amazing how EU gets an obvious restock of WFT over and over and yet US hasn't had a shipment since the beginning of December. Or was it November?

The re-shipments are still sitting at the dock.

Come on Rosalina restock, I can almost feel it coming.

 

[SaviourMK2]

Hopefully not for long, the strike was settled. I just wanna finish Wave 1

EDIT: Does anyone have a link to the trade forum?

 

[mgs2master2]

strike reach a tentative agreement, so we will see where it goes.

 

[rjinaz]

Hopefully that's true. I suppose it's also possible they didn't bother sending restocks because of the strike.

WFT up at amazon it as well, wow.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Best Buy has been good for me these past 2 weeks

Week 1

and Week 2. Mind the small mess in the background

Spoiler

And the defective Teddie...

Considering people have been having issues with Meta Knight's box being bent, I was wondering if the same would have happened to me? Not that it would have mattered, cause I'm opening them up.

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

Was pretty surprised at how well Best Buy and GS packaged these... normally my stuff arrives looking like shit from them. Eh, I open 'em, anyway... but gotta give credit when it's due.

My collection so far:

Hit up a bunch of stores, and couldn't find anyone else today. Two WMs, two BBYs, two Targets (they had NOTHING), and a Vintage Stock for kicks.

I'm gonna hold out hope I find Mega Man and Sonic at a TRU or somewhere else in the wild. But I think I'm gonna splurge on eBay prices for Ike and DeDeDe this week, before prices continue to climb.

BestBuy also sent my Meta Knight in perfect condition - it was alone in a cardboard box with plenty of Fill-Air® Inflatable Packaging Systems (lol) to keep it from moving an inch. I was beyond nervous with all the horror stories of bubble-mailers from BestBuy, so it was a huge relief to get mine in such awesome condition.

Guys, are amiibos region free?

 

[Drago]

Guys, are amiibos region free?

Yep. Amiibo are exactly the same across all regions. The only regional difference is packaging.

 

[That Wont Fit In There]

Anyone selling a NA DDD? Anyone? i cri ;_;

 

[Nathan_Drake]

Guys, are amiibos region free?

Really? Please read ops. I know the person that points it out seems like a jerk but a lot of work goes into them and they are so often ignored. a lot of good info in there if you are new to this.
