According to a GS rep, Ness may appear online but the only way to find him is search since they have no idea when or if he'll go up and he has no page.

Said to contact local stores for stock info and was told it was up to the manufacturer if they were to get more- so opposite of what Nintendo claimed was an issue with them not ordering enough.

Nothing really new, just thought I'd share that Ness is probably gonna be impossible to get and more so will be prime for a reprint if there's enough demand like Marth.

Geez 4th wave and we're having even more problems than before. Things are supposed to get better not worse.

Wave Six is gonna be brutal. Basically gonna become a World War.

 

[Lunarian]

How many amiibo are left in the smash roster? Will wave 6 be the last or? I haven't been keeping track*

Geez 4th wave and we're having even more problems than before. Things are supposed to get better not worse.

Two Fire Emblem reps in one wave should have been all you needed to know that this wave would be bananas.

Literally bananas. They're healthy. But amiibos aren't.

Duck Hunt
Lucas
Mewtwo
Mr. Game & Watch
ROB
Falco

And any unannounced DLC. None have been seen or announced.

likely to have another 2-3 retailer exclusives due to niche characters and NoA shittiness. only really see Mewtwo even hitting stores out of that crowd.

 

[LiK]

up to Wave 4 and Nintendo still can't figure out to manufacture figures based on preorders like every other toy maker out there instead of making a set amount first. fucking noobs.

 

[Drago]

Amazon UK CS says my order is still scheduled to ship out sometime today, so I'll just keep waiting til tomorrow and see what happens.

I can see Falco being not impossible given Star Fox amiibo compatibility, but still hard to find.

The other 4 though, yeah no hope. Roy will be hard as shit to obtain too, but Ryu will probably be common.

 

[twothunder]

Welp. Just received email about Robin and Lucina.

Unfortunately, there's been a change to the availability of the Nintendo Amiibo character you ordered in order #s BLANK as Amazon.co.uk is receiving a very limited supply. Orders will be sent out on a "first come, first served" basis and we wanted to let you know that we won't be able to dispatch this to you at the moment. We don't expect to receive more stock until the end of June. We're sorry about this.

Same Mail I just got. Except add Ness too. Offering promotional credit doesn't make up for it Amazon

 

[Joei]

I just went to Walmart on my phone and all the Splatoon are up, as well as Wario and Pac-man for pre-order. Don't know if this is common knowledge but I don't see it mentioned on this or the previous page.

too bad Lucina and Robin both show up as out of stock

 

[Zxrophantom]

Well i guess i can join the heartbreak club now. Got the Wal-Mart cancellation e-mail for Lucina.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

 

[georly]

Can you wish for all the amiibo?

 

[backlot]

Walmart cancelled my Lucina. At least Robin is safe I guess.

 

[LiK]

or is he?!

To those who got emails from Amazon UK about delays. Has anything on your order changed yet? Like the estimated delivery date or anything?

 

[crimnos]

Nothing here. Still at Not Yet Dispatched with the original estimated dates.

Nope mine has stayed the same(For ness) still shows the same delivery date, but it wont be delivered

Nope. My orders are still listed as Not Yet Dispatched with a delivery date of April 30 - May 6.

 

[Fourth Storm]

Watching closely. Whether I'm still in this or not will come down to Amazon U.S. preorders and TRU on Monday. I need a few others, but I suppose I could somehow attain them if I get most others in Wave 4.

Yeah mine too, how long before anything changes?

 

[Lakerchick4life]

End of June according to amazon UK..I havent been charged so Im OK with just leaving it the way it is, if gamestop ends up having it I will just cancel this order

 

[Regiruler]

Solatoon 3 Pack still up on walmart somehow

 

[Lakerchick4life]

Hopefully nothing changes in the next hour have a doc's appointment.if lucina or robin become available at walmart.com someone save me one

 

[Auron_Kale]

Despite having preordered both Ike and Shulk off Play-Asia for July, as well as Robin, Lucina and Ness from yesasia, I still find myself checking for domestic release preorders out of habit.

I guess if Gamestop finally gives me my Ike (that I've already fully paid off) and I somehow get at least Lucina and Robin Day 1, then I'll be cool with that. If I don't, then at least I do have backups.

 

[Shauni]

My Lucina and Robin orders from Wal-Mart are still up. Quick question, those of you had cancellations, did you order them when they first popped like a week ago at 3 am or the recent batch?

 

[Vidiot]

My Lucina, Robin, Wario, and Charizard shipped this morning from Amazon UK. Says I'll get them in the middle of May. I have Ness and Pacman preordered at gamestop and Jigglypuff at target. I feel pretty confident in those preorders. Guessing I'll just try to get a Greninja that isn't too pricy off ebay.

Wave 5/6 have me worried. I really want Ganondorf, Palutena, and zzs.

I'm in too deep to quit now. Gotta get them all. After the smash wave I just can't wait to walk away from this madness though.

It's really strange that my Ness Amazon UK order was flat-out cancelled and not delayed or "first come" like some of yours. I ordered it within minutes of going up on UK. At least I haven't heard anything bad from Walmart yet about Lucina and Robin or Best Buy about the others yet...

 

[Shauni]

Say what you will about Gamestop, but I've pre-order 75% of my amiibos from them and never had a cancellation, all were shipped promptly at release, and came well packaged. I know some have probably had problems with them, but I really have no worries about my Ness, Pacman, and Splatoon 3-Pack I have pre-ordered from them.

 

[RootCause]

Did Amazon uk cancel? Or delayed the items?

Now you've jinxed it.

Gamestop has been good, except for the entire bullshit around the in-store preorders that they caused.

 

[sphinx]

since it's 5 past midnight, amazon.de third party retailers went up.

a store had one pacman and one Ness for 19 euros each, they FLEW away at light speed. it didn't let me checkout.

Guys, I'm about to spend $31 on a Japanese Wii Fit Trainer to open. Does that make me a bad person?

Not at all. Aren't we passed the point of judgement?

I still feel dirty but I guess I can claim "import tax". I don't want to jump the gun on that rumored Meta Knight restock though.

You, sir, are worse than Hitler.

There, I corrected it for you.

 

[zdefonte]

Dang, even a company as great as Amazon, there really is no guarantee with amiibo. Sorry to those whose orders got delayed (or worst, got cancelled).

 

[Nintendo Playstation]

You, sir, are worse than Hitler.

He was misunderstood.

It has been delayed, everyone got that email that ordered it.

I just got the email this morning shortly before posting that. Was my email super late?
