But I'm not a huge amiibo collector, I'm only getting the ones I want o3o
I mean, I can be a good person and help someone out...but come on, am I really that good of a person? ;)

...I feel like everyone should have ordered a 2nd Lucina just for you. You'd have a room full of Lucina.

That'd be hilariously awesome.

Trading may be the way to go here, especially with Ness not even showing up on Gamestop's online store.

Not that I mind, but still. Ironic but I remember saying that I could get two Ness' when I was able to, one for myself and one for trading... And here I am, needing a Ness.

Ok, it let me order them all with no issues whatsoever. Glad i got em. If they don't cancel them, then all I need from wave 4 is greninja. I should get an extra jiggly that i'm willing to trade for.

Are the greninja in-store preorders still going to happen this friday or was that all fake?

It sucks that I missed both, even though I was here...

I'm only going to end up with Jigglypuff from this wave aren't I?

Maybe I'll get lucky day of release. I mean how many amiibros are there in desoto county, MS? (as far as I can tell just 1 more on the subreddit and not sure how many here)

Somehow got orders in for Robin, Lucina, Pac-Man, Charizard, and the two Inklings.

Definitely makes up for my GAME debacle from earlier this week.

EDIT: Scratch that, changed the two Inklings to the Splatoon 3-pack.

Was able to lock down 2 orders for Robin & Lucina.

If you have Jigglypuff locked up I'd be willing to trade for either; if you have an extra Little Mac, let me know as well.

I was able to order Pac-Man and Charizard for us and Robin + Luc for a amiibro. Gotta share the love. R+L were up for an incredible amount of time.

How long would you say Lucina was available for this time? 15 minutes?
Click to expand...

First notification post was at 1:36, Gone post was at 1:59. So 23 minutes.

But, huge problems ordering them. Lots of people's browsers or phones didn't work at all. Both Firefox and Chrome did not work for me and I ended up getting Robin/Lucina with Internet Explorer right before they were gone.

yeah exactly, people can't legit say they were available for 20 mins. i was on it the moment they went live and couldn't check out with either (never was able to even add robin to cart)

They were up, but a majortiy of people could really order. It seemingly picked at random.

Yeah people on reddit reporting the same problem. Very weird. Some people said they tried the whole 20 minutes and came up empty while others got orders in just minutes before they went down.

Curses...once again the amiibo have eluded me! I was in a meeting that literally went from a minute after someone posted they went up, until just now...

Oh well, I shall live to fight another day.

i just tried Charizard and he's OOS when adding to cart
Click to expand...

Still lets me add. Try another browser maybe?

Curious- where is everyone in the US? State-wise. I've heard they do online orders depending on where you live due to having stock sending to certain areas.

Hey how many of you order Robin and Lucina separately from Walmart? I ordered both separately out of fear both was going out of stock by the time I put both of them in my cart. Manage to get Wario, Charizard, and PAC Man together without issue at least. Guess I should also cancel my Amazon UK orders for those 3. Keeping the Ness, Robin, and Lucina ones though.

Now I need to somehow secure Jigglypuff and Greninja.

If Amazon US ever starts orders, I'll try to secure the Fire Emblem characters and share them with you or whoever may need them.

I wasn't able to search for them. They just popped up in an ad while watching final bosman and I clicked out of curiosity. lo and behold, I could preorder them all. Then I want to nowinstock.com to get the direct links for the rest and I was able to order every single one.

Edit: It is still literally letting me add charizard to cart.

I did. I actually arrived late, and still managed to create two orders of Lucina and Robin. I also used gift cards on each transaction which had to be entered manually AND had to go into my account and delete a gift card before I could add another one.

I literally had all the time I wanted. Which is extremely strange considering how others had no luck at all.

Edit: Used firefox.

Are the toys-r-us in-store preorders still going to happen on friday? I only need greninja now, if none of my orders get cancelled.
