This shit would have leaked by now if true. Don't believe cashiers at retailers, they don't know shit.

Didn't Nintendo announce store exclusives when they revealed Wave 3?

That would be a problem. The Target here sucks - didn't even get Rosalina. Closest one in a different county.

Is Sheik rare? Didn't think it was since there was 6 on the shelf yesterday at my TRU.
Yeah, I ordered online yesterday.
That's my opinion as well. Until I see it in print somewhere by a reputable source, all that chatter from retail employees is just that - chatter.
You could prob sell it on ebay for a cool hundred thousand. I'm not familiar with DBZ levels of rarity, but yeah sure.
Why the hell would a GS employee know what Target was doing before anyone else knew? If anything they would simply know it was exclusive to a store since it wouldn't show up in their system...

Yeh I took it with a grain of salt cuz after he told me Lucina was Target exclusive he followed up with I preordered it already which raised so many alarms in my head.

I stopped by my local Best Buy after clinicals today and they had Sonic, Mega Man, Toon Link, and Sheik. I grabbed a Sheik with the GCU discount, and walked out a very happy amiibro.

Woot MM shipped today!
I guess they aren't as rare as I thought. Oh well.Is Sheik rare? Didn't think it was since there was 6 on the shelf yesterday at my TRU.
This is the first one I've seen since she launched, and that includes a few trips to Nintendo World.
Makes sense. He's the only Wave 4 that I must have. And the closest Waffle House is ~150 miles away
I heard he was going to be exclusive to Outback Steakhouse, free with order of limited-time only "Mom's Homemade Steak."

I went to TRU as well and saw 14 Toon Links and about 5 Peachs. I was confused.

Bah, that stinks. I hope that doesn't mean they cancel a whole bunch more.

Hmmm.
Ness - GameStop
Lucina - Target
Charizard - Toys R Us
Robin - Best Buy
Wario and Pac Man being non-exclusive.

Some of you guys joking about exclusivity is going to get picked up by a rogue blog and report on it for real
I could totally see Toys R Us getting Charizard. They've gotten Pokemon related exclusive things in the past including the Charizard X & Y pre-order plushies and the Lucario Amiibo.
No more exclusive pls! ;__;

They did. $9.99 MSRP!!
timed exclusives for retailers.
I hope not. Just keep doing waves of 6 amiibo each with a month or two in between. Let wallets heal and the thirst set in again.

Seriously, I will gladly wait. I still need to get a lot of the already released ones. They could delay wave 4 for a while.

Just got my Ike and Sonic today!
Thanks for this. Getting Ike from Amazon.fr.

I'm already resigned to at worst paying scalper prices for the Fire Emblem ones.
Store exclusives on four of the six would pretty much confirm the fact that Nintendo fucking hates us.

I don't play when it comes to lucina. He also said target is getting the ladies in each wave. I live in Florida though so I can't imagine some target here knows anything first.
Just called the Gamestop where my ike pickup is supposed to be today. He said they've been having supply problems with the port strike and are missing tons of inventory. Sigh.
Fortunately he found ONE ike that didn't have a name so he's holding it for me and I'm going to grab it. I hope it isn't derpy....

Welp, I knew I wouldn't get both of the King Dededes I preordered in December.
Got a call from GameStop last week instructing me to pick them up today. Went in and was told three arrived on Monday and two had already been sold, so they only had one left.
Since I had preordered two together, they had to cancel my preorder for the second one to sell me this one. As for the other one, the clerk wrote my name down and promised to call me as soon as another one comes in. He gave me the difference on a gift card.
We'll see what happens. I have a feeling nothing will.

Was this an online preorder? I may be in the same boat, as I preordered three Dededes. If I can only get one, then I want my money back on the other two.

Legitimate company and will ship out quick for anyone wondering. I ordered some last week and they already arrived. Keep in mind, they will just put whatever you order in a box with no packing so the Amiibo will freely move around. The cards on mine had no damage, but just keep that in mind.
^^^ good to know.
Also if you can find others you want, if you spend $50 you get free shipping. That with the fact that they price them a couple cents under MSRP made this purchase a great value for me
