Been playing a lot of Smash 4 today as Mewtwo, I'm really hankering for a Mewtwo Amiibo now.

It's coming

Spoiler

we just don't know exactly when - it could be a surprise addition like wave 4 got with Jigglypuff and I think Greninja

 

[LiK]

not a huge loss for P-A. i'm hoping YesAsia gets Wave 5 up. Free shipping is so much better.

 

[Danthrax]

I need those U.S. Amazon preorders. You're driving me crazy, Amazon. Stop doing this to me, Amazon

God, on that same token a Lucas amiibo would be too good.

 

[Insaniac]

hi guys, been away from the thread for a few days, anything big happen lately?

players had palutena, dark pit, ganon, and ZSS up for preorder yesterday.

jigglypuff also apparently came back up for a bit on target (I think?)

Remember when April 17 sounded so far away and nobody thought it was real?

Now it just might be...

Next up on the adventures of amiibo hunters: Report of Amazon having preorders at the beginning of May. Nobody believes it. Tune in!

Spoiler

not a real report

 

[StrikeNinja24]

Considering I'm sure there are people at Amazon watching what we say at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon is doing this stuff on purpose for giggles.

Thence we remain wakeful for the eventide's duration — and alas, 'tis but to wangle acridity.

I honestly still don't believe it.

 

[RobFox64tm]

Wait, so Jigglypuff went up again? Why does Target keep saying the won't, but always do? They did the same thing with Rosalina as I recall. Also, I don't think a LINE alert went out for it either. Has me a bit concerned because I'm really counting on that for the Amazon pre-orders.

Yeah there was no Jiggly alert or for the Wave 5/6 PlayAsia pre-orders.

I wasn't on LINE chat much last night but noticed this morning nothing was alerted in International or USA alerts.

Also, it seems that instance of Jiggly going up was from all the cancellations from insufficient payment methods that cancelled. It is likely automated.

 

[dreamcastmaster]

pac man will be common simply because no one wants him

I really want Pac Man also.

 

[MADGAME]

I don't recall, how long before release were pre-orders offered for previous NA waves? We are still 43 days away from March 29th, or over a month and a half. Even if preorders go live March 1st, that's still a month before release.

These are likely cancelled orders going back into the original pre-order pool. Each time this has happened, they seem to go back up around 11:15 PM EST and last barely two minutes. Checking in around that time would be your best bet until launch day.

So in about 15 minutes.

 

[Lunarian]

I wish Greninja preorders would go back up at ToysRus. Greninja is insane. Preorders died in 20mins! At least Jigg comes and goes... /sigh.

Yeah, it surprises me too they haven't had subsequent pre-order opportunities for Greninja. I remember they did for Lucario. I would assume it's because they want to have more stock for the in store pre-orders happening on the 27th. After that, you might see him pop up once or twice before release. Who knows?

 

[newarrior]

I'm hoping some go up on eBay like the previous TRU exclusive did. That's how I got it.

 

[Fox Mulder]

I'm hoping some go up on eBay like the previous TRU exclusive did. That's how I got it.

that's how I got mine too, but it was kind of fucked up for TRU to throw over 1000 lucarios on ebay while they were having issues with people's in store preorders.

 

[jmizzal]

I really, really hope the Amazon pre-orders go up tomorrow.

Will Amazon have Wave 5, or is it just gonna be wave 4?

 

[rjinaz]

Will Amazon have Wave 5, or is it just gonna be wave 4?

There is no indication they will be putting up wave 5 anytime soon. Nobody in NA has even placeholders yet as far as I know.

 

[Curler]

Wave 5 is imaginary for people in NA.

 

[AdanVC]

Been away of this thread because I'm starting to lose hopes of getting Ness and Pac-Man in a not so crazy price Can't believe it has to be THIS difficult to preorder 2 damn plastic figures. Don't really want to import but since I don't even live on the US then I have no option...

 

[CorvoSol]

Is Wave 5 Samus and Ganon?

Man they were gonna be my out until Mewtwo and Lucas got announced. There's no gettin' offa this train.

We don't really know if Dark Pit and Palutena are part of Wave 5 as well, but since they come out two months apart I consider them their own separate wave to avoid confusion.

Feel free to let me know if that changes and I'll update Best OT.

 

[Curler]

I really feel like Wave 5 will be some kind of special release. If only Nintendo did pre-orders on their own website... if only they realized that they HAVE a website they could sell things on...

Why do so many big companies suck with e-commerce? :/

 

[Shauni]

I think Newegg put up placeholders, but I don't know if they got taken down or not.

they still exist

I actually got the Jigglypuff alert from Nowinstock. They pulled through this time.

 

[The Lamonster]

I got Mega Man yesterday. It's pretty nice!

My only other Amiibo (so far) is Smash Bowser. I refuse to buy Amiibo that have stands.

 

[Attleborotaco]

Have the NA amazon preorders been done yet? I havnt followed since the rumor they were going up last thursday.

Nada. Maybe at midnight.

 

[Curler]

I feel like tonight will have pages and pages of anticipation. Would be nice if it actually leads to something.

 

[VICI0US]

so april 17th is the next amazon rumored pre-order date.

was the supposed time 12 AM EST again?

 

[IntelliHeath]

pac man will be common simply because no one wants him

False, I know some friends that really want to buy Pac Man because they really like Pac-Man Mii costume in Mario Kart.

Also I want him because I grew up with Pac Man.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

For those who have the pikachu amiibo is it a good quality figure? I haven't seen one in person.

 

[Diggeh]

For those who have the pikachu amiibo is it a good quality figure? I haven't seen one in person.

Pikachu and Kirby are very simplistic, so they look very nice.

 

[RobFox64tm]

It is. It's also probably the easiest figure to make in the whole series, so there's a lot of consistency in the quality of them.

yes, i think that is what was rumored

 

[RobFox64tm]

Pikachu and Kirby are very simplistic, so they look very nice.

Kirbys can have some off centered features from time to time though. A decent one looks so good though. I actually originally bought one with a strayed cheek and it drove nuts enough to replace it later. Just took the "off" one back to the store later the same day.

There's a lot of loose Kirby figures as well. They tend to tilt and tumble.

I worry if that will be an issue with Jigglypuff as well. Luckily I have two coming if I get unlucky enough to get one like that.

I expect nothing other than a few posts going "where is the preorder?"

For those who have the pikachu amiibo is it a good quality figure? I haven't seen one in person.

I have one, Pikachu looks really nice even if its a simple design.

 

[xplicitone]

I highly doubt Amazon would put it on a highly rumored time, but that's just my guess.

Of course highly rumored is relative.
