Damn, Best Buy has just been great about the Wave 4 amiibo. And they don't even have a retail exclusive this time around. Funny how that works...

 

[Baliis]

Awesome, finally managed to get an order in

 

[kirby_fox]

If I buy this now, I wonder if I can trade it for other Wave 4 figures...by the time I decide, it'll prob be sold out.

Arg. Is there a link to Girl Inkling? That shipping is killer.

EDIT: ^ Thanks!

 

[Vidiot]

The last wave of exclusive were like $30 each with prime for import versions. Fuck it, I'll do that for Greninja and Jiggelypuff. Fuck this shit.

Thanks! Got my 3 pack ordered

 

[kitchenmotors]

Nah, it' sell about the context.

Take yesterday fro example. GameStop did one per SKU per person per transaction and a one per SKU address limit period; this allowed me to go to the back of the line twice after purchase one so I could get 9 squids.

It's fair, gives them money, doesn't impose limits that get in the way of lack of demand; everybody wins.

Imposing a one limit period when that one thing isn't selling rapidly at that point in time is foolish.

Sorry, but it's bullshit.

With the way the pre-order system was set up yesterday, it was a nationwide thing. People were still trying to pre-order hours after they went live. I managed to get lucky and get a Ness by doing it over the phone, but people were still trying to pre-order after I got mine in and were turned away. With any Amiibo at this point, it should be a one limit thing.

 

[JimJamJones]

GOT MY SPLATOON TRIPLE PACK!

Now for Pac-Man and Lucina.

And Robin.

And Charizard.

You see where this is going...

 

[Ridley327]

I doubt it would hurt, given this will be the only way you can get the squid inkling in the US.

 

[careksims]

Praise you guys! I got the Triple pack!!!! So Greninja, Lucina, Robin, and this! I wanted Ness but oh well!!! *giddy*

 

[CidHighwind89]

Got the Splatoon triple pack. That was easy. At least I don't have to worry about those anymore.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

5.51 for shipping is crap.

 

[-Horizon-]

Ehhh, not interested in the entire splatoon set.

[A.J.]

Has BB put up their Wave 4 yet?

 

[theSlacker]

5.51 for shipping is crap.

Add another item to get over the $35 require for free shipping.

thanks, this was my most wanted besides Ness

 

[Frostinferno]

Has BB put up their Wave 4 yet?

They were the first.

 

[Korosenai]

Ordered the triple pack. Hopefully the other amiibos go up again.

 

[Boogiepop]

Grabbed the triple pack, thanks guys. At least I now finally have SOMETHING preordered for these new ones.

 

[ohkay]

Hooray GCU + elite status

 

[Neoxon]

Got the Splatoon 3 Pack.

Now all I need are Robin & Lucina.

 

[Koppai]

Got Splatoon, now just need Greninja!

 

[PixyJunket]

5.51 for shipping is crap.

Truth bomb.

But it's better than not getting them.

Spaltoon MIGHT not be hard to get, so I will cancel if I get a local preorder in.

Thanks!

How'd you find these? Putting the SKU into the search bar didn't work for me.

 

[weevles]

Darn, I left to take a dump and missed Lucina but I got a 3 pack splatoon.

Wait I don't even want the game. -_-

 

[LiK]

thanks for the heads up. got my order in.

5.51 for shipping is crap.

better than paying double from a reseller with free shipping.

 

[theSlacker]

Truth bomb.

But it's better than not getting them.

Spaltoon MIGHT not be hard to get, so I will cancel if I get a local preorder in.

Yeah, I don't really think it will be rare like some of the Smash Amiibos, but still put in a safety preorder.

 

[Gartooth]

Splatoon 3-pack GET!!

 

[NateDrake]

Darn, I left to take a dump and missed Lucina but I got a 3 pack splatoon.

Wait I don't even want the game. -_-

Lucina went up? Thought it was just Splatoon.

 

[NMFried]

Splatoon three pack secured.

 

[SmithnCo]

Hopefully Amazon soon, I'd prefer free shipping

 

[A.J.]

They were the first.

Boo. Oh well I guess. No Lucina for me

Thanks for the links!

 

[kirby_fox]

Well, if they aren't common I can at least trade for some of Wave 4 maybe...

 

[AdmiralMikey]

FINALLY, my first taste of amiibo success! Got my Splatoon 3-Pack Preordered from Best Buy, and I'm a GCU member, so that pretty much nullified the shipping cost!

 

[Space Cowboy]

Splatoon triple pack ordered! My first Amiibos

 

[kitchenmotors]

Bullshit, there is zero difference between a friend being in the line, and me going to the back of the line after purchase one.

When I went to Target to get Rosalina there was a huge car of teenagers who got out, only one of them was interested in Rosalina. The others bought them for either their friend to trade/sell or for other people. We lined up for that shit and unless you can get there yourself, it affects other people who are there waiting in line that get turned away.

People got turned away yesterday and what you did doesn't help the situation. Plain and simple.

 

[georly]

Ugh they're sitting in my cart because i'm a hopeless amiibro... but I don't even know if I want them.

Edit: Nope, I'm not gonna do it.

 

[Velinos]

I'll let others who want the splatoon amiibo have these. Still hoping for Robin and Lucina somehow.

 

[Somnid]

Nice, Bestbuy comes through again. Amazon and Walmart have nothing left to offer me.

 

[crimnos]

Thanks!

How'd you find these? Putting the SKU into the search bar didn't work for me.

I looked up a random item, some K-cups, and plugged the SKU into the SKU identifier field in the address. Just hit enter and it brought it up. Lucky guess Glad everybody is getting them!

 

[Ridley327]

YOU ARE ALREADY DEAD

 

[Curler]

Did Lucina even go up?

I also noticed that Wave 4 is listed as "coming soon" on Best Buy. Possible second chance later?

 

[-Horizon-]

I'll take my chances with amazon.

 

[gogojira]

Got my three-pack at Best Buy pre-ordered.

 

[JacksUsername]

Nabbed the three-pack. Thanks for posting the heads up and links. This makes this the first successful Amiibo purchase I've been able to make since yesterday.
