But then who is going to want them? Well I mean obviously some of the fans, but doing that there won't be nearly as many sales nor the amiibo fever there is now. Good for the true fans, bad for the money I would argue, and the overall health of the amiibo market.
Around 15- 20 minutes the first time, and 12 the second. So 30 mins total?

Walmart has shipped me 3 amiibos and they have been perfect each time, the correct size box and no damage to anything.
They were avaiable thrice at an average at a mere 13 minutes, like another user before me mentioned not to bad NoA stantards.
Between all 3 preorder periods, probably about 15 minutes, tops.
Actually, it was 3 times. The first time was about 8 minutes, 2nd time was less than half of that and the third was about the same as the 2nd.

Wave 1-3 preorders online lasted DAYS. Not sure where this comes from.
Resrtocks don't last long no. So in reality this is the fastest selling Amiibo so far.
We've reached critical mass with these things now.
Yeah thanks for the heads up i edited my previous post, i assumed the 2nd time was just longer.
Silly rabbit, true amiibo collectors don't have jobs...
Lol i went based off the Majoras Mask Xl ,Limited Edition, Smash bros bundle and gamecube adapter pre order times
all 4 of these sold out within the same day if not minutes
No prob.
Either way, way too short.I will say, I am worried about wave 3. I have told 2 Gamestops to let me know when the wave 3 preorder opens up, but I'm afraid that it will close before I can get off work.

Not too worried though since you missed wave 3 pre-orders by months

Cards, meh. I'll stick with the figures.
The same people that want them now minus the scalpers. Jesus, you're really starting to sound like one of them.
Why is this not a problem for Skylanders and Disney Infinity? There's plenty of those figures in stores everywhere, yet Nintendo gets treated like this sacred entity and its okay that they produce so little.

Did people here realized that they actually missed the chance to get their hands on Ice Climbers Amiibo?
Cancel that order and make a trade with someone on here instead (if possible)

Secondary market such as foreign or third party seller?
I'd rather all my amiibo be the US version and I don't plan on spending 100 on a villager.
Restocks aren't a guaranteed thing.
As a matter of fact, I believe only 3 amiibo were legitimately announced as officially discontinued: wii fit, villager and I honestly forgot the other.
With discontinued amiibo being a relevant aspect of consumer purchasing, no wonder people buy in twos.
You can't blame the buyers.
Unless they're scalping. F those guys
You could have waited a bit to see if a restock was imminent again but its your money look at the good news at least you wont be paying $100 plus
I wouldn't even think about putting money towards a scalper at this time, considering that it doesn't even come out for another month yet. There were three preorders for it today, I would not be surprised if there are more. And you might always find one in the store.
Try not to support the scalpers.
I'd be down and I'd be down to pay you a little extra for your troubles.

"Forced".
I'd rather not take a chance. I need my Gold Mario plastic toy on m shelf.
I believe Marth is discontinued. But then we are supposedly going to get another reprint (just hope it isn't a damn card).
And I agree, F the scalpers.
I'd like one as well.
By gunpoint.
I understand what you mean,trust i know this is easier said than done especially considereing the current state of amiibos but when people state that they purchased multiple of an highly sought after item in an area where people cant even get one theres bound to be hurt feelings,i have no issues what people do with thier money but people should be aware of what thier tone of language may come off to other people.
The people who 'buy extra for trades ' get luaghed out the room for this sane reason, nany people view them as scalpers in denial.Whether they are or not is a totally diffrent discussion

I'm down if that's OK. We'll see what happens.

Well then you would have been robbed, which is basically the same thing as buying one for $55. Seriously, it will probably go up again, you could have a chance of getting one in store, and an even better chance of trading a fellow Gaffer for one.

If anyone still needs a Toon Link or Sheik, PM me. I've got extras that I need to get rid of, since I preordered from multiple stores to play it safe. $12.99+shipping.
Well, if any one is well to hook a brutha up in Canada. I'll see if I can cancel.
Missed it but really nice of you, true amiibro right here!
Sorry folks, all out. Congrats to those who were on their A-game.
