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.

Honestly, for me It's this and the idea that she's sort of two amiibo in one. Why Peach or Toad don't get a Power Star as a tag-along is beyond me...

Being a Target exclusive doesn't help, seriously she sold out the first 10 minutes at my local store....DURING A GOD DAMN SNOW STORM

 

[Curler]

I was reading the USGamer Amiino article and I noticed thry used the phrase "adult collectors". I don't think they (or Nintendo, above all) realizes that the age demographic that's most into them, grew up with both the games and cool figures/toys. Whether it be the 80s or 90s for nostalgia/figures, many of us were there. Add more recent/popular characters, and no one should he "surprised" as to how popular they got. They struck a cord with us!

Oh yeah, definitely, if she wasn't a store exclusive she'd be right there with Ike and Dedede instead of up there with Shulk, Meta Knight, Marth and WFT
Which would be less painful and make me more reluctant to open her japanese box

The issue is will we see any of those again. Remembering when Shulk sold out in about an hour.

Getting saltier each hour
Preorders still aren't live
What keeps us all refreshing
The scalpers keep on winning

(Cry)

We're in too deep to begin getting sleep
Though prices are steep we must take the leap

They're up all night to scalp tons
I'm up all night to get one
They're up all night for big bucks
I'm up all night to get salty

Stay up all night to get none
Want this wave, then I'm so done
Nintendo, this isn't fun
We're up all night to get salty

We're up all night to get salty
We're up all night to get salty
We're up all night to get salty
We're up all night to get salty

Why is it big deal if we're under Community or Gaming?

 

[AdanVC]

I still can't get used to go to the community section and go into this thread. Amiibo hype soon will have 20+ OTs like Destiny

 

[Speedwagon]

I think Rosalina was available online for a while after she was actually released in stores, so I'm hoping Jigglypuff will be the same.

 

[Geedorah]

It is a bit early to say anything definitive - but things have slowed down a heck of a lot more now that we moved. And not for a lack of interesting news. At least from my point of view.

Yep, Target has stated Jigglypuff would be available both online and in store on release day.

Hopefully now that the thread has been moved off the main page things can quiet down and get back to where it was between waves.

Also getting into LINE is real hard. Diggeh and CH4OS must be getting slammed

Exactly. I first played games on the NES and started my son gaming with Nintendo; passing that love on. I sure hope I can get his FE amiibos and Ganondorf, then we're out.

 

[LiK]

ugh, shipping from P-A is so expensive. I wonder if I should bother.

 

[CorvoSol]

At this point I'm just calling it peace of mind payment, I guess. Been way less stressed about Robin and Lucina since getting the preorder done somewhere.

I would immediately preorder for Robin and Lucina but Pac-Man, Wario and Charizard might be commons. what to do...

 

[RootCause]

I'm just waiting for Amazon to put Robin, and Lucina up. If I fail to get them, I'm heading to PA. I just need them to hurry up before PA runs out too. :/

 

[Zonic]

I would immediately preorder for Robin and Lucina.

Agreed. Marth & Ike are already rather hard to find. Might as well play it safe & get the last two FE characters pre-ordered.

 

[CorvoSol]

I would immediately preorder for Robin and Lucina.

are they out of Robin and Lucina? Gosh.

 

[prateeko]

ugh, shipping from P-A is so expensive. I wonder if I should bother.

Yeah, I held off on Ness, Lucina, Robin etc yesterday for they reason. Too much shipping even when I was grabbing multiple units

 

[ZealousD]

Better to be angry that you paid extra than be angry that you missed out and had to pay $40 to some scalper, imo.

BTW, Is there a reason that Play-Asia hasn't be stocking Greninja lately? I guess that's the only Wave 4 I'm missing now.

 

[LiK]

no restocks for them atm.

yea, which is why i'm on the fence cuz the stuff they have up I already own or not that in a rush for. all I really wanted day 1 was Ness and FEA.

 

[shandy706]

Did anyone get their Zavvi orders canceled?

I saw someone say they were canceling some.

Mine says processing, but they still haven't addressed my shipping info being fixed yet.

 

[Zonic]

Any news about GameStop getting more pre-orders available for Lucina, Robin, Pac-Man, &/or the Splatoon 3-pack? I've still got about $16 in credit and can get $10 in credit for either GameStop or Amazon.

 

[RootCause]

Before I got my account there was this dood that was making all of megaman's color variants. What happened with him?

 

[Saint Gregory]

The more days that go by the more that I think it's possible Amazon isn't getting wave 4, at least not at launch. I can't think of any other time that they've been this far behind other retailers in terms of having a product up for preorder.

 

[CorvoSol]

Hey on the topic of Play-Asia do they not let you pay prior to the actual item being in stock? Like there's no pay option under my order for Robin and Lucina.

 

[The12thGripper]

Mine is still good but what do you mean by your shipping info being fixed? I noticed I had entered my house address twice but I wasn't sure how to go by fixing that. Should I just leave it as it is?

 

[LiK]

didn't you already have payment options set up in your account during check out?

 

[CorvoSol]

didn't you already have payment options set up in your account during check out?

I thought so, but it's been sitting there marked "waiting for payment" and only the Marth one let me make one tonight.

Bad feeling about that.

they don't usually charge until shipping so I thought that was normal.

 

[CorvoSol]

IDK. Marth's got an orange "Pre" but Robin and Lucina now have a purple "Soon" I don't know how this works. Beginning to really get sick of online stores freaking the fuck out.

pre-order pretty much means shipment will be incoming. soon means, they hope to know how many they can offer for pre-order. once they know, it will go up for purchase

 

[A Human Becoming]

Any news about GameStop getting more pre-orders available for Lucina, Robin, Pac-Man, &/or the Splatoon 3-pack? I've still got about $16 in credit and can get $10 in credit for either GameStop or Amazon.

Nope. Latest rumor is Amazon pre-orders go up April 17th, so one week from now.

 

[shandy706]

Mine is still good but what do you mean by your shipping info being fixed? I noticed I had entered my house address twice but I wasn't sure how to go by fixing that. Should I just leave it as it is?

I have no idea. I mean they SHOULD be able to ship it to my house with what I entered, lol. I didn't enter anything incorrectly (numbers/letters wise), but like you the info looks jumbled, with the house address twice and it has the "COUNTY" on there...which doesn't even matter in US mail. There was no spot for the "STATE" although zip-code would tell you that. It just looks goofy on the "address" page.

The part I'm worried about is it clashing with confirming my card payment. That's my worry. Hopefully it wont' cause a problem.

 

[Zonic]

Nope. Latest rumor is Amazon pre-orders go up April 17th, so one week from now.

Oh well, at least I can get free shipping if I get Splatoon 3-Pack & then Robin &/or Lucina, plus I can still get credit for Amazon via Bing Rewards & Swagbucks.

Plus it's on a day I don't have class, so hopefully the rumor is true.

 

[Windom Earle]

Jigglypuff, Greninja and Yoshies are up on amazon.de!!

edit: Splatoon as well.
