nowinstock/LINE alert for Pit

Me: It's Christmas!!! Wheeeeee!!!! *Frantic scramble to checkout*
Gamestop: Nope

It's a sick game for them.

 

[Nathan_Drake]

Pit switched over to not available for me. dream=dead

 

[Geedorah]

Most of the people asking have done that. Myself included.

Then there is nothing more to do - asking in here won't get you in any faster. Just keepin PM'ing. LINE is their thing.

We probably see more LINE requests than Wave 4 pre-order questions a day.

FFS seriously, there is a search function too btw guys - you can look up "LINE" for this thread only and get a good understanding of what the system is like...

 

[Saint Gregory]

Is it just my connection or is Amazon already chugging for anyone else? That's a terrible sign for when the Amiibos finally go live if it's not just me.

Lot's of anxiety right now. I'm about to preorder Ness and Pac-Man from Mighty Ape and I'm going to spend more than 100 bucks on that and I'm actually not sure if I REALLY want them to spend that insane amount for 2 plastic figures that only like cost 5 dollars to produce. I hate NoA amiibo department so much.

Don't do it. Pac-Man will likely be one of the common ones, so you'll essentially be spending over $80 for Ness.

I'm refreshing just fine.

It must have been some kind of hiccup because it's fine for me now too. I'm so paranoid after these last few days :{

 

[ash321]

On my end. Amazon is kind of slow. Maybe the internet start their f5 machine already.

Cute :3

 

[Rocky]

3 hours early?

 

[Nori Chan]

Hmm if targets don't get pre orders online for Lucina...maybe that'll give me a chance to get Jiggs on the day of release.

 

[twelver]

Rumor still 3pm est @ amazon??

 

[Draxal]

Line kinda sucks as it has a cap of 200 members so you have to constantly purge inactives.

 

[The_Afroman]

So how do you join the LINE group? Everyone talks about it but no one ever says how? is there a secret club i don't know about

 

[theSlacker]

It requires a blood sacrifice from a unicorn.

 

[Cappa]

None of them are replying though. I have messaged Diggeh, no reply. I presumed Blue is currently at work.

I tried to go back to the pages... what happened to Brian and PygeHD last night? I see Brian got banned.

 

[spindashing]

The question's been answered a few posts above this, but the secret is that LINE doesn't exist!

PygeHD screwed PygeHD.

 

[-Horizon-]

Do you really want to join? I mean really?

 

[kadotsu]

So zavvi.com has the new waves and ships internationaly (and slowly [very slowly]).

 

[The_Afroman]

Do you really want to join? I mean really?

I do sir.. i really do!

 

[Pilgrimzero]

Had a dream last night I got a cancellation email from BB about my Lucina I preordered.


I need her as trade bait for Ness...

 

[Cappa]

PygeHD screwed PygeHD.

lol what happened? Did the site crash?

 

[ExVicis]

Aw man I barely got that Last Pit on the way out of PlayAsia. Now I both don't have to worry about finding him and I've as well lost it and become a part of the Amiibo insanity proper.

Spoiler

What have I done?

 

[Geedorah]

I tried to go back to the pages... what happened to Brian and PygeHD last night? I see Brian got banned.

Massive backorders - some of us still drank the Kool-aid and are gonna see how the ride goes. But for the most part, it is a taboo subject, and we all prefer not to talk about it.

 

[rjinaz]

People were getting upset because he hadn't shipped out anything. In fact, he stated he had only shipped one shulk with 50 orders backed up. Then he was going to take on a whole lot of new orders so people really started to doubt if he would be able to pull it off at all.

Anyway, no doubt brian was banned for self-promotion which is against gaf policies.

 

[The12thGripper]

Got Greninja from Zavvi! I honestly don't care how long it takes, $19 for Greninja isn't bad and I don't have to worry about him anymore.

 

[Sorceror12]

 

[-Horizon-]

I do sir.. i really do!

PM Diggeh then. Then clench your butt cheeks and pray.

 

[Saint Gregory]

So zavvi.com has the new waves and ships internationaly (and slowly [very slowly]).

Well they did. By the time that I finished signing up for an account they well almost all sold out ;_;

 

[ExVicis]

Well they did. By the time that I finished signing up for an account they well almost all sold out ;_;

I got Dark Pit out of it so I just need Palutena and my preorders of the Kid Icarus amiibos is set.

 

[The12thGripper]

Well they did. By the time that I finished signing up for an account they well almost all sold out ;_;

Wait, seriously? Damn, those no international orders and 1 per customer policies really do help.

 

[skaflone721]

So is Zaavi legit?


It would be ridiculous if I just secured Wave 5/6 but can't get Wave 4...

 

[Alex Anderson]

d'oh I signed up for an account real quick and thought the cheap shipping to US must be a mistake and got up looking at FAQs and then everything was sold out.

 

[ostrichKing]

d'oh I signed up for an account real quick and thought the cheap shipping to US must be a mistake and got up looking at FAQs and then everything was sold out.

Just BARELY got in an order for some...didn't get all the wave but got one of:
Greninja, Ganondorf, Zero Suit Samus, Dark Pit, Palutena, and JIGGLYPUFF!!!

 

[lumber]

So zavvi.com has the new waves and ships internationaly (and slowly [very slowly]).

0.99 GBP to ship to the US? That can't be right.

Regardless, ordered Palutena, Dark Pit, and Olimar.

Thanks for the heads up.

Zavvi also apparently runs the Nintendo Store UK.

Looks that way

 

[Baliis]

Same thing I did rofl

 

[Regiruler]

I could have gotten dark pit and palutena for cheap and the site is super legit fuuuuuuuuuuck

If it shows Sold Out, you're probably not getting it. I was only able to get Olimar in "preorder now" status. When I check My Account on the Zavi page it says "Order Placed" so I'm hoping it went through... delivery was free for me... so I have no idea if that's legit or what.

 

[shandy706]

I ordered Zero Suit Samus and Ganon, but I screwed up my address in a rush to get it in.

Hopefully CS can fix it without canceling the order!

 

[Adamantum]

Ordered 9 Amiibos from Zawi. Thanks to the person who posted it.

Did I pay a $4 premium per Amiibo to have most of the next wave secured? You bet your ass I did.

 

[Incendiary]

What does everyone think the rarity of Bowser Jr will be? I'm hoping not too bad since he's a Mario line character - he's the only one I'm aiming for in the next wave.

 

[AdanVC]

Don't do it. Pac-Man will likely be one of the common ones, so you'll essentially be spending over $80 for Ness.

Ughh I guess you're right. Maybe Lucina or Robin instead of Pac-Man even tho I'm not that interested in those two characters?? Could help for trading purposes. fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

 

[Sorceror12]

probably be like a diddy kong, although nothing is certain

 

[Diggeh]

You've all snapped.

And Ein can't fight this feeling anymore
He's forgotten what he started buying for
It's time to buy amiibo from the store
And submit to the chore, forever

Cause Ein can't fight this feeling anymore
He'll buy amiibo as his Nendos hit the floor
And if he has to pay the scalpers more
He'll have amiibo galore
Baby, Ein can't fight this feeling anymore

 

[Shauni]

Common/uncommon if he's not a retailer exclusive .

Lol awesome. Who can fight this feeling?

 

[skaflone721]

I'm really stupid.

I missed Dr. Mario completely.

Like I kept seeing the fucker, but it didn't cross my mind it was an Amiibo.

So I guess I'm secured sans Dr. Mario. Not bad. Paid I think $3 over the $14 with tax I pay here per Amiibos.

But yeah, it's good to know they run the Nintendo UK store. Some confidence. That's if these go through.
