Just got up, heard about this amazon craziness(Dont know if your all getting a tip that its going to go up today or what but here I am) just want Wario, Charizard, Pac-Man, and those adorable Splatoon 3 pack thats it

 

[Hatchtag]

So Lucina and Robin and the exclusives will probably be hard to get, but will anyone else from this wave be rare?

 

[Saint Gregory]

They didn't have anything good either.

That would help.

GS is nothing compared to Amazon, the scopes of their business are leagues apart.

It less about volume of sales and more about the number of people that will be jumping in all at one time. I'm sure that Amazon can handle it but it's going to be a big spike above normal business while they're up.

 

[spindashing]

That's what everyone's assuming, yeah...

 

[jetsetmario]

You know the person at Amazon that monitors site traffic is like, "What the hell?"

 

[Dr. Black Jack]

So Lucina and Robin and the exclusives will probably be hard to get, but will anyone else from this wave be rare?

Possibly Wario. Seems like PM and Charizard will be easy to find.

 

[-Horizon-]

If I can get just one of the FE ones I'll feel like I accomplished something lol.

Yeah, this is our lives now.

 

[pete_clarf]

Only Greninja and Pac-Man will be available to pre-order in TRU stores? Something's up...

If that will weed out a bunch of people, I am all for it!

 

[weevles]

Oh I think they know exactly what we are doing lol.

 

[MicroByter]

Hit F5 and the Amazon pages I have opened were stuck trying to download, thought you guys brought down Amazon or something.

 

[zeelman]

It did that to me a few times, just keep doing it.

 

[Cruxist]

I really hate that the only Amiibo I want is Robin. I'm F5'ing like a crazy person. I've never done this before.

 

[Glix]

Hit F5 and the Amazon pages I have opened were stuck trying to download, thought you guys brought down Amazon or something.

I couldn't get this thread to load for some reason and I was like "its happening, oh no!!!"

EDIT - I just cannot deal with Wario in that outfit. I wish he was in his alt :-( I have no desire for that amiibo

 

[TheSuperSakura]

Hopefully they go up soon, I'd rather not miss the Splatoon 3 pack, I don't really care about the boy and girl amiibo but I do want the little squid one.

 

[The Lamonster]

yeah so we're also F5'ing GAF...

 

[MicroByter]

I couldn't get this thread to load for some reason and I was like "its happening, oh no!!!"

After watching the GS crawl to a stop last week, anything less than a second on load causes a rush of fear to run through my body.

 

[-Horizon-]

I'll laugh if they just went and took the pages down.

[Jomjom]

Let's all F5 so hard that the site goes down so the scalpers can't get them!

 

[weevles]

I'll laugh if they just went and took the pages down.

Or change to different links/ASINs.

 

[Glix]

Wow this pager refresher thing I got for chrome is a godsend.

 

[MicroByter]

yeah so we're also F5'ing GAF...

If they could somehow harness the kinetic energy from everyone's F5 key, we could run cities for decades.

 

[pete_clarf]

Is nowinstock.net ever reliable? It's said that Pac-Man has been up on Best Buy for about 15 minutes now... but he's not and hasn't been the whole time. I've come across similar situations in the past.

 

[Neoxon]

Still have the AmiiboGAF chat open. Just quote this post.

 

[spindashing]

.

My heart sank when I saw this post. I thought it was feeding time.

 

[RobFox64tm]

In the "all in list view" can you add them to your cart without leaving the page? I'd like to get the three I want in one transaction, but I know if I have to jump from one to the others, I'll probably miss at least one of them.

 

[//ARCANUM]

Where did the amazon rumor come from? What's this based on?

 

[Shauni]

Just got up, heard about this amazon craziness(Dont know if your all getting a tip that its going to go up today or what but here I am) just want Wario, Charizard, Pac-Man, and those adorable Splatoon 3 pack thats it

I would be surprised if by mid-June to early July Wario, Charizard and Pac-Man aren't plentiful. The Splatoon stuff is up in the air, though. There's nothing from the past to really gauge out much stock will be there for it after release.

 

[weevles]

Amazon Canada went up earlier this AM.

 

[Shauni]

Where did the amazon rumor come from? What's this based on?

Apparently, they went up on Amazon.ca, so people are expecting the US one to happen soon

EDIT: Beaten. Active day today.

I found it to be reliable on previous waves but for some reason they have been very unreliable this go around.

 

[EroticSushi]

It's not going up today guys.

I just know the Mario Party 10 amiibos are super easy to get..but I pre ordered them from Target just in case, now you can get them everywhere..who knew getting these little plastic toys would be so difficult..and who started this amazon is going to have wave 4 amiibos today rumor

 

[Costia]

Where did the amazon rumor come from? What's this based on?

Amazon Canada posted their pre-orders so people think amazon US will as well.

 

[//ARCANUM]

Thanks for the answers everyone

Spoiler

this gone be a bloodbath

edit - any chance i can get an invite to the LINE group or chat group or any sort of alert group pretty please?

 

[Zonic]

Yeah, I have a feeling Wario, Pac-Man, & maybe Charizard will be the un/commons considering people know who they are. Hell, Sonic & Mega Man have been surprising easy to find, & Pac-Man is probably more popular than those two, so I'm sure he won't be hard to find.

 

[MicroByter]

It's not going up today guys.

Uh huh. You just want us to stop so that you get them all when it does go up today. I see through your cruel game.

 

[EroticSushi]

[Curler]

I had a helper clicking while I showered :x $10 says I miss it again when I leave...

 

[Glix]

In happy news...

I have found the one thing that can stop me from going outside and smoking cigs, lol

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Oh god, it's about to go down isn't it?

 

[Draxal]

Charizard will be common for sure, it looks like Wario is selling out pretty fast as well (first one sold out for Amazon.ca today) and third sold out for Gamestop the other day.

 

[zeelman]

The Splatoon 3 pack is still up on Amazon.ca. Turns out one of my dad's friends there will send it to me here in the US when it arrives, so it has been preordered.

I'm still going to try and get it from US Amazon.

 

[brinstar]

how soon did past waves go up after Canada?

 

[Lucent]

In happy news...

"Amiibos helped me quit smoking!"

 

[Kitoro]

So does Target have pre-order cards in store for Jigglypuff now?

 

[Cappa]

Oh god, it's about to go down isn't it?

I'm assuming you just showed up lol? It's been "about to go down" for the past hour or so.... no one knows if they are going to be going up or not

 

[Sorceror12]

So does Target have pre-order cards in store for Jigglypuff now?

no

 

[dallow_bg]

how soon did past waves go up after Canada?

There's really no rhyme or reason as to when they go up.

 

[rjinaz]

I'm assuming you just showed up lol? It's been "about to go down" for the past 8 weeks or so.... no one knows if they are going to be going up or not

I fixed that for you. Seriously.
