I found an old .gif on my PC that I think depicts the Nintendo/amiibo situation perfectly:

Not sure if it was mentioned yet, but Play-Asia has pre-orders up for Shulk, Meta-Knight, Ike and a few others. They're the Japanese versions, so if you don't mind the slightly different box art.

Ike
Meta-Knight
Shulk

 

[jls]

Jigglypuff possibly up!

Kind of want to see if I can snag a shulk during the rerelease.

Or at least something that isn't in mid July.

Well it was ;_;

I wasn't sure if it was actually working, but yes I see that some people were able to get it. It went quick!

Just like all of wave 4. I can't live in front of this damn PC!

But I just started posting the Amiibo threads!

 

[Lakerchick4life]

Total BS, I clicked on the link the second it went up and it did NOT work, said invalid quantity

 

[goldenpp72]

I hate trying to get jiggly as much as fighting her excellent users in smash.

 

[ChaosXVI]

NOOOOOO!!! I've been in front of the computer literally ALL day, finally just got up to take a shit and I come back and BAM! I missed Jigglypuff AGAIN! That is fucking insane!

You didnt miss anything..I clicked that exact same link the second it supposedly went "Live" it did NOT work..have yet to see one person confirm that they got anything..just kept on saying "Invalid quantity) when I put in 1

Multiple people say they got it on reddit ...

They might be lying because I dont believe it..I clicked it immediately I was sitting right here, heck the darn pre order button is still active, when you click it nothing happens

 

[ChaosXVI]

Hmm...maybe it is about to be put back up, I won't stop trying until it turns gray again.

 

[StrikeNinja24]

That's reddit for you.

IE Dont believe their lies.

 

[Lum1n3s]

So did Jigglypuff go up or no? I saw her the orange pre-order button and when I clicked on it, it sent me to this random script page. Did anyone else experience the same thing?

For me it kept on saying "Sorry this item is not available" when I would select that I want 1

 

[Geedorah]

Looks like 'no more Jigglypuff preorders' has been confirmed.

What a Jigglypain.

 

[ZeroCDR]

Except Jigglypuff has gone up two nights in a row after that article was posted.. Probably the stock from cancelled orders coming back though, which is why it goes so quick.

If it's mutiple buys from people, it's great that they are cancelling on them. I doubt any legit buyers are actually cancelling them.

Someone find their Ebay account!

 

[zulux21]

I need to decide if I even care about jiggy puff. I mean she is one of my mains in smash, but her figure isn't exactly amazing to look at, and it's not like her figure has any real use right now (I don't consider amiibo use in smash to be worth it)

Gotta buy 'em all!

nah, I am not worried about getting them all. to much money and not enough space. only planning on getting the ones for characters I really like or from series that I think having an amiibo will matter for such as FE.

I still fear for my wallet for wave like 9 or so when the fire emblem megaten game comes out and that has like 5 new FE and 5 megaten amiibos that all add new characters to the game @_@. (not confirmed just my expectations)

When did GameStop lie about amiibo before?

 

[Geedorah]

When did GameStop lie about amiibo before?

First thing that comes to mind is offering Ness online, but then taking that back via internal memo without telling the public. But that's about it tbh.

edit: beat

 

[kirby_fox]

Looks like 'no more Jigglypuff preorders' has been confirmed.

A couple days old and Jiggly has gone up twice with a supposed handful of orders since then.

Likely means the preorders that do go up are cancellations or may even potentially be Target stopping scalpers from buying multiple sets of 2 that prob wouldn't post on Reddit that they had an order cancelled on them.

 

[Jobbs]

that's the third time I missed jigglypuff by under 20 minutes....

urge to kill.. rising...

My main characters to play in smash are DDD, jigglypuff, ness, and lucina. it's like they figured that out and tried ot make sure I could never get them. at least I already have DDD.

I still can't understand why Nintendo has been pushing Rosalina for like the last four years, only to go out of their way to make her amiibo rare. It just doesn't make any damn sense and it's money left on the table.

Where has Rosalina been besides Smash in the last 4 years?
Mario Galaxy '07
Galaxy 2 '10
She wasn't in 3D to my knowledge?
EDIT: LOL Mario Kart I'm tired.

She was in Mario 3D world as an unlockable character

 

[FullmetalPain]

I believe she was one of the top characters used on Kart before Link came

 

[GeekComplex]

Mario Party as well.

I wouldn't say the inclusion in Kart and Party would qualify as "pushing her".

Yup she was in 3D, I 100% the crap out of that game

 

[vazel]

Why not? In Mario Kart she not only had a normal version but also a baby version.

Alright, fair enough.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Mario Golf as DLC too

It's not that she's rare. Fans like her. Wario and Waluigi where popular upon their release (Wario even managed to get his own spin off title right after Mario Land 2: Sacred Coins).
Rosalina just happens to be an amiibo everyone wants. If anything, I don't think they're pushing her enough.
