Silence as everyone spams the pre-order button on poor Squid Kid.
I'm so happy that I was able to get a 3-pack. One less thing to worry about.
Good luck to everyone though! May the F5 be in your favor.
I feel that way about Robin and Lucina. FE:A was one of the rare games that REALLY consumed me for a few months. I was a newcomer to FE and this one looked amazing already, and just blew away my expectations. They're also both characters I use a lot when I play Smash.
So I can totally relate with everyone feeling the same away about these two. Screw everyone that's trying to take our passion away
If you're willing to pay scalper prices for Lucina, you're probably better off getting her Figma instead. It's only like $40 and much better quality than the amiibo. I'm thinking of doing that myself.

codename steam though...
Well yeah, I guess if you want game functionality sure. But it seems like most people just collect em and not use them in games. I have both Smash games and 20 amiibos, and I haven't scanned any of them yet.
I didn't really mean pay scalper prices, as an "I feel you with wanting x character". I already have the Figma on order, too.
Are they making amiibos from the dlc characters?
Yeah

I'm betting a curve ball is in store for Mewtwo & Ness as I said before. It's just that their DLC Amiibo, where as most others have direct ties to multiple games directly. Granted, I don't know a smash player who won't grab the DLC, but it's likely they will end up either exclusives to a retailer or as a dreadfully limited release via the replacement to Club Nintendo.

Just says coming soon but I Really want the 3 pack

Totally agree he's cooler.
On the subject of Lucas and Mewtwo - Just had a second idea that they're just as likely to be tossed into that barren wave the way we didn't know Greninja or Jiggly were coming this wave til the direct.
Ah, I see. Yeah, Lucina is probably my most wanted in Wave 4. She's the only FE amiibo I'm interested in.
With the figma coming out, it almost seems like Lucina wouldn't be worth it for scalpers. Would they really be able to get a high price for her with reasonably priced, better quality figma available? I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on her, it really is a nice figure.
They'll both be out by June (or well, it said they were aiming for June for Lucas), so yeah, this is entirely possible.

Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
Already did, but they sold out. I'd post the link in my order page, but I can't even log in lol.

Already happened man. Of course it is gone as well. What was crazy is you couldn't even search for it when it went live. Fortunately, the links were posted here for us to get them.

Just to clarify, it did go up once and sell out already, but there's always hope for another sudden appearance.
ok I lol I just want to have the link saved so I can get there fast when it comes back
I rather get them from Bestbuy since I got GCU

Is it bad I'm still gonna be on Amazon watch even when my friends drag me out of the house?
I think so too, but my co-worker thinks I'm crazy. The pose is near identical to the Smash Bros. one, so I have a hard time explaining why I think he looks better here.

I know it's kinda silly to be excited of getting this amiibo but here:
Bowser is in da house. He looks so cool and waaaay better than Smash Bowser IMO.
I think his Smash amiibo looks more fierce and intimidating.
GameStop is said to have sold-out of their entire pre-order stock, so Ness may never go up for pre-order on GameStop.com.

Word is that Ness is sold out completely and won't be sold online

Ness is gone. He was in-store pre-order only along with wave 4. They never released online pre-orders cuz their servers crashed.

This. The new Bowser is true to the SMB series, looks more like an asshole. In a good way?

Yep, smash Bowser has more pronounced scales, chrome studs, color shaded hair, and looks evil.
The SM Bowser just looks more like the traditional cartoony one with less overall details.

FML, I wake up to find out I missed Walmart preorders. UGH.
Edit: Or not? Cause Nowinstock's Amiibo log shows that they went out of stock, but never even went up????

Some guy on reddit said he submitted a survey (the one on his receipt) to gamestop stating his dissatisfaction with the web in store experience (not the associate) and said they contacted him and he got a preorder for the 6 pack. I don't see HOW that could be possible, he posted 'proof', but take it as you will.
I submitted a survey on the off chance....
Uh nope, no walmart pre orders

the gamestop guy at my store said to give them a bad review for the shit network since i stood in line for 50 minutes.
The survey has a question asking if you want someone to contact you for the issue, but I said no. I suppose you could curse at them and get stuff maybe.
They put up placeholders on the nowinstock website is all. Walmart doesn't even have placeholders on their site yet for wave 4

Ahhhh, okay. That makes more sense. Sorry, I just woke up finally from staying up nearly 24+ hours over these stupid things, not exactly thinking straight yet. :c

To be fair, I also had some assignments to do for class, so I spent my time working on those, and grinding some in RE: Revelations 2 Raid Mode. So it wasn't just F5ing constantly.

I left the thread and came back 15 minutes later to see this quoted without the edit and SHIT MY PANTS.

Fuck, I was there for three and a half hours. Maybe I should take that survey... if it was truly fair, there's no reason I shouldn't have come out of there with all six characters. I was only second in line.
Nice! This is pretty cool wasnt even aware there was an eclipse this month

Bought him last night since Targert was having a sale. He's amazing. Such a great sculpt and the paint app is clean.
