Walmarts in Columbia SC showing stock of Mega Man and Sonic. Just went and picked them up use the stock locator on their site or app on phone to check your area. They had about 10 Mega Man and 3 Sonic.

I ordered a Lucario from them as well back when it first released. No tracking either and took just about 2 weeks to arrive. There might be a chance it still arrives (emphasis on the "might").

I always use tracking. Gives me that peace of mind even if it's a couple of extra dollars.

I would have loved to used tracking as it allows me to schedule my day around the arrival of my packages. And ordering from Amazon US for years, I was certain that ordering from their UK site I would have tracking, too. However, tracking wasn't offered when it shipped so I just rolled with it. Thankfully, it arrived undamaged in a box.

Yea, I'm a bit confused about it. You got King Dedede, Mega Man, Lucario for example who all look AMAZING, and then there's Marth's face, Peach's face, just fucking terrible.

Lucario is horrible, it's hard to get nice paint apps on human faces like that (Shulk is really good for some reason).

The human face is the hardest thing to get right. Your brain is finely tuned to what what it wants to see when you look at a face. Even cartoon ones.

Sounds about right. The fact that Toad flips you off while saying this adds to it.
 
Sure hope this means we can order him online....


...& maybe get some more Meta Knights while they're at it.

Anyone call their local BB yet about Little Mac? I will be doing so on my lunch break.

http://www.reddit.com/r/amiibo/comments/2xvwj7/bb_employee_posting_little_mac_restock_details/

Here are the two SKUs of amiibo that are rumored to be coming to BB:
Little Mac 9705105
Capt Falcon 9701109

Not today, but I called around last night and found which BBs in my area will be carrying Little Mac and Captain Falcon and their shipment day(s) of the week.
None of them had a shipment day for Tuesday (the way BB works is their shipment comes out one day and is available next day at opening), but one store's shipment comes out on Wednesday, so will be calling tomorrow morning at opening.
 
Bah, of course the closest Best Buy to me (30 minutes away) closed down on Valentine's Day. 2nd closest one is 50 miles away.

Now watch as he's put online while I'm at college.
 
Was supposed to receive Mega Man from GameStop yesterday, but it hasn't come yet. I hate that they used the service where UPS hands it over to USPS. Screws up the whole tracking thing.
 
Going to have my fiance check our local best buy...as soon as she responds to my TEXT! UGH!

The one day where I pick up extra hours at work...I just want to sprint out the door and over to Best Buy.
 
Went to my local BestBuy - they couldn't tell me anything solid, but they mentioned there was a truck coming in tomorrow and gave me a big wink.

edit: I should point out, I am not looking for myself - but for you all. If I do find stock in the upcoming week, I am going to be offering them here first-come-first-serve (and no "hey, can I get my name on a list please" stuff, it would suck if I can't get any and had to maintain a huge list of hopefuls). If I get more than 1, I will stagger when I offer them.
 
My Best Buy didn't get anything today...so any help would be most appreciated from any generous GAFfer who finds a Mac/Falcon and wants to help someone out...I've got extra Fox?
 
For those just running straight to your closest BB to check, the best thing to do first is call and give the store the SKU numbers before just blindly driving over there. It saves a trip unless you were stopping there in the first place.

And keep in mind that not all stores will be getting these restocks. Also, if they are out of stock, then you can ask which stores in your area have them, or have them in transit.
 
I called around and nothing. The two closest said they hadn't gotten anything in yet but didn't mention if they knew if anything was coming at all for Little Mac or Captain Falcon. Everyone seems to be calling. Might check tomorrow in-store since my girlfriend wants to pick up DoA. Both look very good.

They couldn't tell you if the figs were in transit? They were either lying to you or incompetent. When they look up the stock of an item, their screen will show all the stores in your area that have them in stock as well as which ones have them in transit.
 
I wish I could help you amiibros out, but I'm at the end of my line :(

I'm out of unemployment, and I can only earn so many gift cards. Good luck everyone!
 
The fact that there was any truth to this whole Little Mac thing is shocking the hell out of me. Hope at least a couple people in the thread manage to get one. Checked the Best Buy in Pittsburgh just in case, but no such luck.
 
Mac is one of two that I still need (unfortunately the other is Villager). I'm hoping I can either snag one at BB or pick one up here if anyone winds up with extras. I would welcome being able to focus my stress and anxiety on Wave 4 exclusively, rather than spread it out over a few waves. Not holding my breath though!

No idea. I guess I should've pressed harder on the transit details. One guy did say that no one in the area had them so there's that. Maybe I'll get lucky when I go in tomorrow.

I won't get shit.

Earn gift cards? I didn't even think about that...so many ways to do it...

If anyone has a Meijer nearby them, I think a lot around here got new shipments in. Plenty of Toon Link and Sheik, a few Sonic.
I didn't mean to look, it's hard to break habits and I thought I'd share.

Yeah I visited one yesterday by me, was shocked at how big their selection was. I had never been in a Meijer before...its bigger than the Walmarts in my town.
 
Is there a reason this shipment of Little Mac and Captain Falcon is only going to Best Buys? Why not other retailers as well? Just seems odd to me
