On a scale of banned to banned, how banned will Frap be when he can't fulfill anyone's orders and GAF annihilates him?

Surprise! It's a Peach.
Anyone know if Gamestop ever received their 2nd shipments of Ike yet.
Still damn pissed about my preorder that they gave to the guy who bought 6 of them.

They were not supposed to give more than one ike to anyone. If they did you should have contacted the corporate number or the district manager.

Even if GS puts up pre-orders for a reprint it's going to be the same Web In Store shitshow every time.

Was gonna say this. They've been really pushing the web-in-store lately. Perfectly fine system if it can handle the load. If they really want to get that foot traffic in stores that they need to up their server capacity in a big way (or something like that).

In store pre-orders have been such a fiasco, they basically gave up on that in favor of just shipping people stuff. It's not like WiS is turning out to be any less of a customer service nightmare.
I get the appeal of WiS but it lacks the convenience of online ordering. It's a nice substitute if I am in the store & looking for a product that no store around has, sold-out online, but can be ordered via the WiS. Otherwise it seems pointless.

I just hope they've learned their lesson and figure out a system actually works out in time for the next wave.
How is it really fair? You needed to have the time to go to the store to put in an order. GameStop once took in-store pre-orders for items you picked up at the store. Now you can order things in the store to be shipped to your home. I understand the appeal of it, but it isn't a substitute for online or true in-store pre-ordering. Basically, I don't want to see the store making a habit of using WiS for select items. Had they done in-store pre-orders for Ness, sold-out of those, and then told customers they could do WiS, fine. But their handling of Ness was still shitty, especially since they advertised online pre-orders that never came because they crashed their own damn infrastructure.I disagree here, while the Gamestop servers crashing was a horrible issue they should have seen coming, it was by far the fairest way to handle things.

So what do we think the odds are that the Marth re-issue will be packaged with copies of Codename STEAM?
It would certainly help with sales of the game, I bet.
You know what was fair? Actually being able to walk into Gamestop at any time and pre-ordering the Amiibo that you want for in store pickup. That's what I did with Shulk. Now I realize that's not possible now but Gamestop could've at least put some online for people who couldn't have possibly made it to a store. I was on my 15 minute break at 3pm I could've easily have ordered a Ness from Gamestop's site. I couldn't however just ditch work to go to the nearest store.

Hello everyone,
I have a question about finding amiibos in Tokyo. I'll be there for a day next week during a lengthy layover and I want to pick some up if I can. Due to the fact that it's just a layover, I don't have a huge amount of time, so I'd like to head to specific places to look as quickly as possible.
Does anybody have any information regarding specific stores that I should check out? Do the Pokemon Centers sell amiibos? Akihabara?
Any help is really appreciated. Thanks!
Here's an update on my collection, removed the 3rd shelf, but may have to put it back when my 3 wave 4 figures arrive, which means I may put my Gold Mario on top of the case, or open it. In case no one saw my last update, I received this Nike display case for free from where I work. I'm looking to put an amiibo logo over the Nike swoosh. I'm looking to find different light to use, the one in the pic was just $5, but it starts to get dim after 10 hours of use.
Hey what's that stand you're using to display your 3DS XL?

All I've heard of is Yodobashi Camera in Shinjuku. Maybe you could try your luck there if you have the time. Otherwise I'm not too sure. Sorry
Looks like the non-adapter stand that comes with the Wii U? (I use it for the same purpose)
I think the #1 completely unforgivable thing re: the whole GameStop ness meltdown, was the fact that they advertised online preorders going live at 2pm, then decided they were canceling that and then didn't inform the public. Means the people who aren't savy enough to be on neogaf or reddit or w/e never knew and therefore kept refreshing for hours on end, never having a chance, which added to server load making it so that the people doing WIS couldn't get many of their orders in.
If GameStop had just done 1 of 2 decent things (either stick to the original plan, or flipping inform the public of the giant change), then things would have gone much smoother. (And for those saying that the server load would still be there, yes I agree, BUT it would only be there for a matter of minutes because Ness would sell out online quickly meaning that the WIS orders could then proceed more easily - assuming they had a different allocation).
In other words: GameStop you screwed the pooch.
You trust gamestop?
The problem wit WiS is not everyone has the time to go sit at gs in the middle of the afternoon. I was lucky on Ness day that I didn't have work.
