Nice to see Ness have a limit.

That bundle looks like the best deal.

Hmm, so they have 6 of the 8 amiibos. So maybe there's only 3 exclusives this time around (hopefully)?as if there was any doubt, as there seems to be

I don't have a Target near me so I'm out of luck. I even had an alert from CAG and instantly attempted to order it and still didn't get it. My run of a complete US set of Amiibos is looking shaky.
Seriously considering selling off my entire collection. It's no longer worth it and no longer enjoyable so not sure I can justify continuing the collection.

There is no discount with it though. It is the same price as separate. If they are allocating more Ness SKUs for the bundle, I may have to cave.

But it would guarantee a Robin and Lucina, which I'm not sure others could do.
I'm hoping to get that one, I'm trying to get all of them anyways and it probably won't sell out as quickly.
Well if every Amiibo figure is $12.99 then buying six of them is $77.94 so it doesn't seem like a deal at all. I'd still get it though since it is probably more convenient to have all 6 as one "item" for the sake of ordering.

Yeah, which is why I said if they allocate more SKUs to the bundle, I may go ahead and get it to guarantee it.
Ok, before anyone panics remember than Nintendo said that the amount of amiibo they make depend on how many retailers order, and GS ordered a LOT of Shulks, since that was up for a long time and even is getting a reprint they sold on the first launch. GameStop seems aware of how much people are hungry of Ness, so they are going to try and sell as many as they can and I am expecting a good amount of amiibo up for preorder.

Gosh darn it, I'd really prefer to not have to leave work for damn amiibo. But I don't know if I could live without Lucina.
I open mines up and keep them in the box, but this one I will actually take out of the box and dump.
These are too precious to keep in the box ;__;

This whole situation is disheartening. I just want to get my favorite characters. Recolors should be exclusive to retailers, not the actual figures.
oh my god i love my boyfriend he's going to go out at 2 CST his time and preorder me one
okay now i just have to worry about lucina and robin. and i don't have to trade away my ike or dedede for one
My streak ended with Rosalina. Had to pick her up from EU. Not a real issue for me, but a real let down for those going for region set.
Are people still offering Gold Mario for trades?
It's the only one that I'm missing from the released batch.
Well...to cheer everybody up ;_;
Yellow Yarn Yoshi to be announced as Wal-Mart Exclusive.
True. Hopefully it's the same case with Ness. Gamestop wants to hold a few over for their expensive bundles of course. :/

I'm just hoping my pre-order would be more secured and not randomly cancelled.

ditto. I'm still kicking myself for ignoring the captain falcon amiibo at target that i saw a few months ago. There were like 6 of them too and this was around 10pm when i was just browsing the game section after work.

Agreed.
Also the limited numbers seem to be from the Nintendo's crap output and not really from the strike. The Amiibos out at sea are probably 1 million Peach.
OK OK OK, just want to get one thing straight here. Essentially what is going to happen is that Gamestop does preorders in stores at 3 EST, and then they will put up pages online at an unspecified later time. The note made it sound like though that by going in store you get the first pick, so I'm kind of worried if they will never go up online at all if they sell out in stores.
Its literally just all 6 amiibos in one package, there is no discount. Maybe it helps logistics though, since they can pre-prepare a large number of 6 packs.

I think the allocation will be 90% bundle, 10% individual.

seems like they changed things up at the last minute based on that note.
It was going to be bad enough that I had to pre-order online at Gamestop the exact moment I had an appointment to get my taxes done. But having to go to the store means my chances just went down. Or maybe up if you basically have to be present to order one? Hopefully they limit to one per customer and when I get there an hour later they will still be there. I'd hate to have to pay more than MSRP for an amiibo when I haven't had to yet.

I think both Target and Walmart do not charge until they ship.

On the other hand, this is Ness, and we are lucky that they didn't just make 10 of them.

Anyone know a way to order from Best Buy Canada?
Dumb as it is, I want a gold Mario for myself.

It's a confirmation process. It'll disappear in the next couple of days.
The funs not even over guys. After today we get to worry about Greninja from TRU tomorrow!

The only thing that keeps me in it at the moment is my 5 year old daughter LOVES them. She wants all of them and gets excited whenever one arrives in the mail or she see's a new one in a Nintendo Direct, commercial or online. I'm still holding out hope that jigglypuff goes back up and I can get one.
I've already decided that after the Smash series I'm calling it quits, other than a few that I may want.

Ha. I'm not going to go to a Gamestop to wait in a line.
Amazon Prime and Best Buy GCU have way better prices anyway.
Oh... Wait... Ness...

maybe I will go to a Gamestop.

Thanks for verifying! I was gona do the same. Wonder if my GS has a line already
Oh yeah I'm assuming youre Pacific time zone?
I still see them pop up on the buy sell trade thread from time to time.
I have two I eventually plan on trading, but I am waiting to see if marth/ike get restocked with the wave 4 preorders as those are the main two I am after. (beyond that I have been waiting for the weather to get better since I would have to walk to the post office
)I'm not going after everything, just the FE and zelda characters. though I might add the KI characters soon with the new wave added, plus my wife likes pit.
I do wish I had someone locally (near madison wi) that collected these things

On the bright side my local GameStop is awesome so I shouldn't have any problems getting a preorder. The only problem I can see is if I go in to preorder and they have no idea what I'm talking about.
