well yeah, hes common as hell, its just funny seeing people think toad is rare on reddit


commons for rare are fine imo, you just have to match the price on ebay , like if little mac is $60+ then offer 5+ common amiibos

I sold a cpt falcon for retail plus actual cost of shipping. I dont think straight up trades are awful if you both get something you want, these aren't stocks.
 
Did you guys get your Wave 4 preorders yet in NA or their still messing with you?

So, if I use this URL to Walmart.com I see Gold Mario in-stock for store pickup: http://www.walmart.com/ip/43814229?www=true&productRedirect=true.
If I use this one: http://www.walmart.com/ip/43814229, I don't. I completed my order using the first URL and got a text saying it should be ready for me by 9PM tonight... can that actually be possible? It was only available at one store in a 50 mile radius. Brickseek is also saying it's available. Have I actually slain my white whale? I feel like I'm counting chickens and need to be held.

Last November I tried to order a Lego Advent Calendar from Walmart for instore pickup.

I went in, dude brought out a completely unrelated Lego set, asked if this was my order.

I said 'nope' and found out their stock is terribly mismanaged.

Moral of the story: Walmart is shit when it comes to in-store pickup for hard-to-get items.
 
Now I want a Peppy amiibo.

I want the whole Star Fox team, Star Wolf team, James McCloud, Bill Grey, General Pepper and in an unprecedented move, the first non-character amiibo including the Arwing, Landmaster, Blue Marine and Great Fox. And Andross, if they feel like it. And maybe Katt Monroe and Krystal so it's not a total sausage fest. And maybe ROB64 so he can confirm your location and send supplies.
 
Went to Walmart to just check and they had Gold Mario signs all over... but didn't even have a shelf spot where it would be, just old Smash figures and the Mario series Peach.

Walmart's a pretty bad place to put in charge of a special Amiibo.
 
so whats up with the gold mario amiibos NOW?

I just got back from walmart, stopped by the amiibo section and there was like at least 10 of them just hanging on the shelf.

Most places don't have them. No where near my zipcode has any for example. Sounds like people luck out here and there and run into a batch (probably right after they were stocked)

I suspect this is Nintendos greatest victory. Make amiibos look rare as rare can be. Release a GOLD mario. Sit back and count their money. There was a comment yesterday (?) about someone finding a stack of them just sitting on the shelf. Gold Mario = More common the air.
 
I mean, like i went to the midnight release thinking they would be swarmed, which there was a decent amount of people waiting for it. But now hes just sitting on the shelf chillin next to Peach and DK.

Weird.


Well I'm home for the night, I can run up to walmart tomorrow if anyone needs one, I'd be glad to buy for fellow GAFfers.

Let me know.
 
Normally I rip into all of my Amiibo, but I can't bring myself to open Gold Mario. He looks really sharp in that package.

Still sad I am just missing Meta Knight :(
 
Buy one for me!!

When I go back tomorrow and if there are any left (which I'm thinking there will be) I'll get you one.

If anyone else wants one, let me know, via this thread or PM.

I just got back from a 4 hour tattoo session so I'm kinda wore out, but if a lot of people here really want one, gimme a couple of hours to recuperate and I shall go claim gold for you guys.
 
I wanted to take a quick photo of the Amiibo's that I have in the Super Mario Bros. line. With the exception of Toad, I was surprised I was able to get everyone, given I have heard horror stories that Bowser was going to be produced in fewer quantities for Canadian retailers. Everyone here looks mostly perfect, but Mario's left side-burn is a bit off. Nothing but a bit of brown paint couldn't fix.

(For the record, I'm not going to bother tracking down Gold/Silver Mario.)

Same store? If not, a lot of stores didn't get any on release night, so if this one that had 10 today, it could be one of those stores, and you lucked into their late delivery.

I can obtain a Peach smashiibo to trade for the 10 trillion dollars I owe you. Hurry, cause someone else is interested in her too.
 
Gah I got caught up in the pseudo-craze.

I now have 7 amiibos, a few of which were reduced price

-DK
-Peach
-Yoshi
-Sonic
-Megaman
-Link

Super Mario line hasn't been released in Peru yet :( Will be getting my Gold Mario on April 1st along with Toad, who I suppose will also be available that day. I would have bought a Japanese Dedede from an independent store earlier today if I wasn't set on getting only US/Latam Amiibo.
 
Obviously BS, but i asked the GS dude when i went to go get my Toad and he told me Nintendo is going to announce Wave 4 preorders at E3.

Why do some Gamestop employees act like that kid in 3rd grade who knew about the Mortal Kombat vs. Freddy Kreuger vs. Jason game coming out because his dad knew a guy who knew a guy?

The same reason anyone else does. They are idiots. Not all GS employees, just the ones who lie and act like this.

If I worked at a Gamestop, I'd be so tired of people asking about Wave 4 I'd just start messing with people.

"They went up early this morning. Some guy in a fedora found out and preordered our entire allotment. Sorry."
"Due to demand, we had to implement a prioritization system - people who've preordered the most Amiibo from us previously will have first dibs on Wave 4"
"Region Manager said we can't get Wave 4 in until we clear the pegs of Peaches"
 
I haven't seen any mention of it on the last few pages -- does anyone know if the rumored Target sale (25% off all amiibo/Skylanders/Infinity figures from March 29 through April 4) is actually happening?

EDIT: Nevermind, it does seem to be true: http://whatsyourdeal.com/grocery-co...-weekly-sales-flyer-ad-preview-march-29-2015/

Pretty nifty deal to clean up some commons. You could potentially get those $9.99 amiibo for $7.49 (which is what I aim to do with Donkey Kong). Anyone else gonna hit it up?

That middle one would work in my favor.
