Really? I know of three within 15 miles. I'd ask if you wanted to split up for coverage but I haven't crawled out of bed yet haha.

The 2 closest to me close at midnight. I looked it up earlier.

Not really going for gold, but I'm thinking I might pick up a Toad...

 

[Xamdou]

Are the people who are getting their gold mario's shipped now make their orders as soon as it was originally released for pre order? My order was made on March 16th and it still says processing, delivery date march 24th

I ordered mine on Feb 26th and it already shipped this afternoon with an eta of Tue, Mar 24!

 

[MrPressStart]

Anybody know if you can check inventory at Walmart if you got the item number

Oh so you got first dibs on it..I didnt get mine ordered til a few days ago when FINALLY I was able to snatch one..I wonder if these orders will be processed and shipped out depending on when people ordered them

 

[Halabane]

If I was a finicky collector, then I would probably keep them both sealed & just order another one for regular use.

You should be there at 5 PM. Or right now. I'm sure there are people lining up. I'm tempted to go to a Walmart and see if there's anyone lining up.

Well since you just ordered recently and have the same delivery date as me then no they ain't going by when people pre-ordered.

I got in on the very first pre-order window. It shipped earlier today.

I do find it odd that Best Buy (Yoshi, Bowser, Peach, Luigi) and Wal-Mart (Gold Mario) both shipped today, yet I'm getting my Best Buy order tomorrow and am not getting my Wal-Mart shipment until mid-late next week. Amazon also shipped earlier today (Toad, MP10 bundle) and I'll get that tomorrow as well.

My Toadsworth and Yoshi is shipped today and arriving tomorrow as well, but their point of origin is Fresno, CA which is the same state where I live which might explain why their arrving so early. In comparison, my Golden Mario's origin Indianapolis and won't arrive until next week. Both retailers use UPS ground for their shipping.

After 99 days I receive my Fox, Captain Falcon and Donkey Kong.... at least I didn't have to pay import taxes.

jeez, where'd you order from?

 

[friskykillface]

will all of the MP amiibos be available too? i will pick up toad the god

 

[Chucker]

Card charged, WM.com says processing. Good enough for me.

Stay Gold Pony Boys.

 

[Macho Madness]

Toad may be the hardest to find due to demand. He's sold out the quickest of the MP set (not including Gold Mario) during pre-orders. All MP Amiibos will be available in the US, but Mario only in the MP bundle officially.

 

[ReBirFh]

jeez, where'd you order from?

I ordered from Ami Ami but it wasn't their fault. The package reached my country in 3 days, 18 days later it was sent to customs then went missing from 01/23/2015 untill it reached my home today.

The package was smashed but fortunately the amiibos were intact.

 

[Dominator]

Stopped by two other Walmarts and they didn't get them either. Their warehouse didn't get them so the stores didn't, but they were supposed to. I left my name and number with all 3 stores and all the employees were sympathetic and knew about scalpers so I hope if they get them I get a call. Best I could do

 

[Curler]

Any pics from today's (crazy) NYC lineup?

Glad I don't need to go hunting at Walmart tonight, my .com pre-order is safe and shipped *whew* Ordered from the first time it went up, so maybe it's going out in waves for whenever you ordered them?

 

[Bluth54]

Good luck to everyone trying to get gold mario tonight.

I'm so happy that I don't care about repaints of figures.

 

[Vylash]

shulk, lucario, rosalina and meta say that too i think

who knows what will happen , all im assuming is that during the holidays every amiibo will get a reprint

wii fit trainer here i come

 

[Marvie_3]

Toad is probably the only one I'm getting right away. Already have amiibos of the other characters so I'm in no hurry to get the others. Maybe a Luigi so I have one without a stupid pose.

I'm glad it was a happy ending at least for you

On the other hand I am now worried for my lucina figma

Do you remember what type of shipping you used? EMS? SAL?

 

[Mysterious]

I think Gold Mario may be a one-time thing though. What's the point of it, other than pissing off fans who got a third Mario?

 

[McBryBry]

My Gold Mario is expected 27-30, still in processing. Should I expect it sooner?

 

[webkatt]

Where can I get a Toad?

 

[CKD5989]

If you got a gold mario, I'll trade you one of mine.

 

[Lakerchick4life]

Weird I wonder how they are going about shipping these out then

 

[MrSaturn99]

Looked back a few pages to see if this was reported, but Mega Man's in stock on Gamestop's site. Just ordered one here.

edit: WAIT WTF NESS MIGHT BE RETAILER-EXCLUSIVE???

 

[The12thGripper]

Yes as long as it ships out tomorrow, I always get my stuff 3 days before the earliest estimated date. My Gold Marios were marked as shipped maybe an hour ago and FedEx says they'll arrive on the 23rd.

Anyone and everyone will be exclusive to different regional restaurant chains across the USA.

 

[rjinaz]

Hard to say, guess it depends on when it ships. Mine shipped today and has an EDD of 03/25. But will likely get here 03/24 in my experience. Depends on where you live as well I believe these are shipping from IN

 

[The12thGripper]

Where can I get a Toad?

You could try Walmart in 30 minutes if you live in the EST zone and have a 24-hour one close by. If not, camp out in front of a store and hope for the best.

Or you could try eBay.

Where did you read this?

 

[spyroflame0487]

Weegee, Peach, Bowser and Toad will all be out on the 20th. Mario likely in april by himself, otherwise he's a pack-in with the MP10 bundle.

Toad seems to be the most popular and likely one to sell out fast, although my local stores have all gotten at least 20 of each character, and more for Toad.

Not sure, but does anyone know what the count is for MP10 amiibos in a box? I was thinking there should be 5 of each figure in a box, and most stores got 5 boxes? or something like that. If so, based on what another user mentioned in a gold mario box, there's 4 per box? That could spell good news if its right. I-i haven't been paying attention to how the boxes come in and how they look.

 

[MrSaturn99]

Where did you read this?

people were speculating about it on this page since it was absent from Toys R' Us records.

I dunno if my poor heart could take that.

 

[nvrndr]

At Walmart right now. Only one dude in line that I'm chatting with. People browsing the amiibo/videogame section, dunno if they're here for gold or not.

 

[theSlacker]

Did my rounds a few hours ago at like 7pm. One Walmart I went to had already accidentally sold all of theirs except one, and there was a guy waiting in line for that. Other Walmart I went to had 7 people in like and I could have been the 8th as they were getting 8 but decided to pass since I already got one coming in the mail. Make someone else happy I guess. I honestly just like chatting to people about the stuff. Was amusing that like 2 people in line had out MM 3dses as well.

 

[nikos]

Gold Mario sold out at Play-Asia? I've been refreshing all day and it said it wasn't yet available, but now says sold out.

I know what you've said, but this was the first thing that had come into mind after reading your comment.

 

[friskykillface]

Haha my wal mart only has 8 and I was number 11
First guy came at 9 pm and I arrived 11 pm

Oh well, I'm going home

They didn't get any other amiibos too 0_o no toad,bowser, etc , only gold Mario

 

[theSlacker]

Got a couple of the bamboo organizers from walmart for 5 bucks, look great for a cheap solution

That looks really really nice. I like it more then the acrylic stands that I've seen people use. Wouldn't fit as nice into that one display, but still.

How lame.

TRU tomorrow has 3 for $30.

 

[Danthrax]

So, uh, has anyone else gotten a call from GameStop about their Super Mario Amiibos? I expected to get one yesterday or today. When I stopped in last week, they assured me that my preorders were still in the system...

 

[nvrndr]

6 minutes hurryy up.

 

[SalvaPot]

I'm gold, my golden boy has shipped.

 

[nvrndr]

3 more people showed up. We five will have our gold.


Dunno what's gonna happen to the remaining 7.

 

[Gameboy415]

Just checked Wal-Mart.com and am ecstatic to see that my order has changed to 'Shipped' status!

Best Buy shipped out my MP10 bundle, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, & Bowser yesterday but no word on Toad yet - they've come through for me on every other amiibo thus far so I'm not too concerned.

Here's hoping Wave 4 is this easy to get, haha!

 

[LiK]

damn $5? what's the specific model? having a hard time finding it on their site.

 

[iShouldGoPro]

Gaf,

If you could have any Gold edition amiibo who would you want to get the treatment?

 

[beanman25]

On my way to wal mart!

 

[HardRojo]

Gaf,

Mega Man.

 

[rjinaz]

Gaf,

I think Mega Man would look pretty cool.
