Just unboxed my Lucina. Wow, her face looks a million times better than I expected. The details in her eyes are really, really good! Super happy about getting her

Any decently priced Lucario available? Any region?

Saw him in store a few weeks back when I didn't want every Pokemon amiibo. Now I do. He's the only amiibo left (for now) I want that I don't already have or have pre-ordered.

Ugh... Is Wave 4 in Europe now? I'm tempted to just import the whole lot from somewhere and be done with it. I wish there was an Amazon seller with all six I could just hit up.

Yeah it released already for those wanting to know i preordered from GAME in the begining when wave 4 first went uo months ago. They shipped me the figs hope they get here. They did say no more shipping to US as far as amiibos are concerned. But they sure take my monies when i buy other stuff lol and ship overseas but i understand to many resellers are taking advantage of amiibos and just Nintendo in general

It's been explained but Kroger is the parent company of Fred Meyer after a merger in 1998. No Kroger, Ralph's or Fry's carry amiibo as far as I know. However, some Fred Meyer super stores that are more akin to Walmarts, sell a variety of products including electronics and games.

I kept thinking it was related to Meijer stores considering the pronounciation is the same.

Speaking of which, I noticed Luigi was shoved into the clearence area for the whopping price of...........$11.99. Toon Link was as well, but he was still up front.

It's not gonna be that easy unless you buy from scalpers.

It's just getting worse in Europe. Did a tour across the city.

-Local game store mostly only had pre-orders. One Wario and Charizard left.

-Toy store 1 got nothing new at all

-Toy store 2 got three Wario and a charizard. Got a Wario and Charizard there.
All gone next day.

-Local Media Markt. Was just in time to see them open a box and dump it into the basket of some guy. Two Lucina etc.
They didn't even reach the shelves. Only two left and... you guessed it. Wario and Charizard. Useless for me. That actually got even me salty.
That was all they got too.

It really sucks any kind of fun out of it.

I found Toon Link at Meijer yesterday, some were marked $11.99 and some were marked "9.74, that's 25% Off!"

Great for people that wanted to open and customize them Four Swords style or whatever but no better than Target's last sale.

I'd probably pick up commons I need like Pikachu & Zelda if they were $9.74ish. Might get Toon Link since Wind Waker was my first Zelda (+ OoT Master Quest), but I'll wait for a price cut or BOGO deal of sorts.

looks like a lot of amiibos on eBay have fallen in price. I think maybe oversaturation in the secondary market is actually doing some good.

well crap.. tried to get monday off work for the TRU greninja thing.. no luck

looks like I'm not going to be able to pre-order.

Did TRU have any non-preorder lucarios available in store/online on launch day, or was it pre-order only?

Mine were preorder only for lucario.

Now they are saying no preorders for Greninja, so they should all be available on release morning (which probably means no limits). I couldn't get off for Monday either regardless.

My bad, I wasn't very explicit. My store is saying they are not doing preorders at all. They are doing first come first serve on release date.

I also know for a fact that there have been people local to me attempting to force preorders early with the screenshots of people's receipts saying they preordered early. From what I've heard, they all failed. My stores expect to get less than their allotment of lucarios (which was 4)
