Repost from yesterday:

You can get free shipping on bestbuy.com if you add $35 worth of stuff in your cart. Ship the item(s) you want and select in store pick up for the items you don't want and you'll get free shipping. Someone in the GCU thread mentioned this and it works. I've done it before.

Edit: Forgot to mention that the items you don't pick up from store will get cancelled automatically in a week.

 

[LegendX48]

Just sitting here at the dentist but I got the Splatoon triple pack

Woot!

Edit: at least I think I did,the site bugged on my phone after I submit but I got an email though

 

[nikos]

Secured a Splatoon 3-pack, thanks GAF!

 

[ShadowElliot]

SPLATOON PACK GOTCHA!

 

[spookyfish]

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!

Same. Thanks for the links everyone.

 

[NateDrake]

I highly doubt the Splatoon stuff will be hard to come by at launch. They only have 3 Amiibo for the game.

 

[bluehat9]

Thanks for the 3-pack heads up. Just want Wario now, hopefully he might actually be one that makes it to store shelves (or I'm lucky to be on when amazon puts him up).

 

[TheGrue]

Got the Splatoon 3-Pack. All set for Wave 4 pre-orders and Splatoon. Can rest until Wave 5 unless something goes wrong with a pre-order.

Just want to give a huge shoutout to the LINE folks who made this possible. Never would have had a shot without you.

 

[Ignition365]

I'll take my chances with amazon.

You haven't ordered Lucina yet? O_O

 

[goldenpp72]

Amazon hasn't put up robin or lucina yet right? Anyone still got the links to their pages?

 

[Shauni]

Hi!

Seriously, would Target again.

Are these yours?

 

[GuardianE]

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!

Nice find. I think a lot of folks were still trying to find them via SKU search while you posted the links.

 

[weevles]

Lucina went up? Thought it was just Splatoon.

TRU restocked canceled orders for like 30 seconds. -_-

But then the BB Splatoon sets went online and I was able to get one.

 

[crimnos]

I highly doubt the Splatoon stuff will be hard to come by at launch. They only have 3 Amiibo for the game.

You're probably right, but they were near the top of my list, so I figured why not get in ahead of time.

 

[shanafan]

So, who is buying the Splatoon 3 pack actually plan to get the game?

 

[rjinaz]

Man so tempted with these amiibo but I can't justify spending anything outside of smash because then where will it end? Answer: It won't.

 

[Frostinferno]

GET! Thanks for the heads up! Don't have to worry about those now.

 

[GeeDuhb]

Nah, it's all 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. It's all about the context; limit of one looks good on paper, but why be so stringent with low demand at order time IRL?

No, it really isn't foolish. If we are talking week 2 of pre-orders, okay maybe. Day 1? No way in hell. I had to work yesterday and by the time I got to a GS late last night, everything was gone. There is no excuse for not letting as many individual people get their hands on them as possible before letting people order 3 copies.

[ElBoxyBrown]

Guys I don't know which one to choose. Inkling girl or boy?

 

[dallow_bg]

Fine. I ordered Splatoon. What am I doing!?

Just add another thing you want to your cart. $35 is the necessary spending to get free release day shipping.

 

[Defect]

Bestbuy doesn't charge until it ships right?

 

[Exile20]

Splatoon 3 pack bought. Thank you BB

 

[Balmung421]

Splatoon 3 Pack get as well. Phew. Now I chomp at the bit in the hopes of getting Lucina and Robin from Walmart/Amazon.

 

[victreeb3l]

Just got the Splatoon 3 pack. Took my sweet time checking out. Hopefully my order doesnt get cancelled.

 

[Kriken]

5.51 for shipping is crap.

Same, I put in a pre-order anyways and will cancel if I can get an in-store option

 

[crimnos]

So, who is buying the Splatoon 3 pack actually plan to get the game?

I am! I'm stoked as hell for the game, part of why I want the amiibos so much.

And I'm glad I could help folks out, amiibogaf has done a lot for me.

 

[shanafan]

Fine. I ordered Splatoon. What am I doing!?

Ha, I almost did the same thing. Had in my cart, ready to check out, but then I was like.. Splatoon? Really? I think I can save my wallet from this one.

Might check out the game though.

 

[Speedwagon]

So, who is buying the Splatoon 3 pack actually plan to get the game?

Me!

Also thanks for the Best Buy link!!

The 3 pack is sold out on BB.

 

[NateDrake]

They put a hold on your account until it ships. They check for the funds every couple of weeks.

 

[weevles]

Bestbuy doesn't charge until it ships right?

Right. You will see an authorization temporarily though.

 

[Insaniac]

Got inkling girl, thats all I'll want for splatoon methinks

 

[Ragged Gloves]

Calm and less salinated, but also laughing at people. Thanks but I'm ok with not being that. Again I have to ask, do you work for somebody in that you know exactly how this situation is playing out behind the scenes because you sure act like you have the facts? Seems to me you are just making a lot of assumptions and keep apologizing for Nintendo and the retailers when clearly they could have handled the situation better.

Edtt: And it took me this long to notice your tag. Guess there is a trend. I'll let you have the last word if you want it but let's agree to disagree.

After a couple of his post, I kinda get same impression *shrugs*

They're in-store pick-up only, and generally not available around me. I tried before.

 

[Ignition365]

Surprisingly not.

BUT WHY

Spoiler

FU

 

[GeeDuhb]

So, who is buying the Splatoon 3 pack actually plan to get the game?

Me! So hyped after the Direct/Treehouse stuff

 

[Exile20]

The 3 pack is sold out on BB.

Holy shit, I got mine a min ago. I am so lucky

 

[theSlacker]

Spoiler

The Slatoon amiibos will be readily available everywhere as they are things that go directly with a new Nintendo IP.

 

[CrispyGoomba]

Thank god, got the 3 pack. Only downside is that with shipping and sales tax, it added $9 to the order

Oh well.
