Wait, there won't be online pre-orders for Ness?

 

[Skiesofwonder]

I feel bad about people having shipping trouble.
All of mine was free. Maybe because I was an Elite member.

Mine as well (I'm Elite)!

Yep, it is some bull.

Amen, this is the only Amiibo I actually want

Yup. That's right.

Edit: You might actually want to get there sooner, assuming there's a line outside your local GameStop right now.

Seriously ._.

Isn't it an hour and fifteen minutes? Thought it was 2pm central?

Isn't that what I said?

 

[Lambtron]

Still sad about Jiggly though. I wanted her the most.

I am kicking myself over Jiggly since she's the one this wave that I needed two of. Just like Rosalina in the last wave. Fucking Target.

 

[-Horizon-]

ugh, Best Buy just cancelled my order of all 5 of them :/ Look's like i'm going to be waiting for Amazon now

wow that sucks

is it just a random cancellation or is it because you ordered too many copies of one?

 

[ArchedThunder]

I can't believe it's still this hard to get Amiibo, why hasn't Nintendo gotten better about this? I wanted the Splatoon 3 pack, but I guess I'm fucked.

 

[Samaritan]

Awesome, I really want to snag them at Best Buy because of the GCU discount. Thanks for the update!

Same here; I'd love to be able to buy everything save for the exclusives and get my GCU discount. Already saved some serious money on the ones that just went up!

 

[rjinaz]

Here are the direct links for Lucina and Robin on Amazon for when they go live. Useful if using an auto refresher. I couldn't find their pages via search so I entered the url manually:

Robin

Lucina

When do Amazon preorders happen? How do you find the pre-order link for Amazon?

Posted this earlier. Didn't bother with the others though, sorry.

 

[GuardianE]

Really? Did you just get an e-mail or something?

 

[Exile20]

Only wanted Pac man and got him.

Next is the 3 pack splatoon pack and yoshi yarn amiibos.

 

[AdanVC]

And they're already showing up on ebay.

REALLY?? So after all, Nintendo did nothing to stop this scalper madness. NOTHING!

 

[friskykillface]

0_o
the fuck. i ordered right at the last second too, welp time to start sweatn'

 

[TheSlySoul]

Luckily I think Sonic, Megaman, and Pac-Man got high restockage.
Doesn't matter, I will drown my apartment with Pac-Man Amiibos.

 

[ash321]

it's amazing how badly the amiibo situation is still being handled, try and get ahold of a Shulk figure for instance

I got four of him lol. Shulk IMHO is the easiest one to get.
The hardest one is Jigglypuff (out of nowhere) a lucario.

 

[SimpleCRIPPLE]

Damn, I overdrafted because of this Best Buy order. Hopefully my bank doesn't charge me for authorization holds.

Ouch man, that really sucks. Hardcode amiibo fan right there.

 

[Fox Mulder]

I can't believe it's still this hard to get Amiibo, why hasn't Nintendo gotten better about this? I wanted the Splatoon 3 pack, but I guess I'm fucked.

i dont think they want to. Treading the fine line of milking collectors and hardcore fans.

people blamed a port strike for this shit, lol.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

I can't believe it's still this hard to get Amiibo, why hasn't Nintendo gotten better about this? I wanted the Splatoon 3 pack, but I guess I'm fucked.

I don't think those will be rare. Just a hunch.

 

[rjinaz]

Amazon.co.uk have them all, says unavailable but if you drill into details you can pre-order. Got ness, charlizzard, wario and pacman.

What sorcery did you use? I'm having no luck

 

[atomsk]

Sitting in my car in front of gamestop with an hour to go, nobody lined up in front of the store at least... Maybe this will go smoothly

 

[b4mv]

What does it mean :/
I managed to get all 5 of them. 4 of them show like Robin, and then Lucina is just there taunting me. Maybe when I run to Gamestop, I'll put a preorder on Lucina just to be safe.

 

[falconxcrunner09]

Wait did Best Buy just go up?

 

[EroticSushi]

So if I want Ness....I gotta go to Gamestop in an hour and fifteen minutes to preorder?

You have to go in-store to do a web in store order. Online order will be up at a later unconfirmed time.

 

[Mr Buddy]

wow that sucks

is it just a random cancellation or is it because you ordered too many copies of one?

I think it was just random, as I only ordered 1 of each

Really? Did you just get an e-mail or something?

Yeah, they just sent me an email a couple minutes ago

 

[SuperCambot]

What time are the in-store pre-orders starting at GameStop?

What's the situation there?

 

[AdanVC]

Wait, there won't be online pre-orders for Ness?

No. Nintendo and Gamestop knows he could be the most popular of wave 4 so opening preorders online will certainly burn their website servers in seconds and probably the whole Internet.

 

[Sillution]

What time is the in-store pre-orders starting at GameStop?

What's the situation there?

Starting in an hour or so. Going to be heading there soon to wait.

 

[ArchedThunder]

I don't think those will be rare. Just a hunch.

Well the preorders are all gone.

 

[Parham]

Luckily I think Sonic, Megaman, and Pac-Man got high restockage.

My man.

you do realize that you don't have to have the item in hand to put up stuff on ebay right?
you can totally put up stuff, and get people to lock in at high prices while they are panicking, and then attempt to get the amiibos yourself and if you can't get them cancel the sale stating you had an issue with your stock.

 

[GalacticMouse]

Isn't that what I said?

It is and I'm dumb. Sorry!

 

[jls]

Wait did Best Buy just go up?

Yes, most things are sold out already :/ Sorry

 

[JazzmanZ]

REALLY?? So after all, Nintendo did nothing to stop this scalper madness. NOTHING!

What could Nintendo do? It's not possible to figure out who plans on buying a figure only to sell it on ebay y'know.

At best they can make it one per person and cancel anyones who buy more then 2 of the same, that is whats going on right now.

 

[Nori Chan]

Might just say fuck it and buy them all at gamestop. GCU won't help me with 5 dollar shipping #swerve

 

[-Horizon-]

Wait did Best Buy just go up?

A bit ago yes. Preorders are closed now though I think.

I think it was just random, as I only ordered 1 of each



Yeah, they just sent me an email a couple minutes ago

Yooooo that really sucks, sorry to hear that

 

[Exile20]

Is the 3 pack splatoon sold out?

 

[TheSlySoul]

Yeah, be careful about having multiple orders. Walmart did the same thing with Gold Mario.

Edit: Sorry Mr. Buddy...

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

Here are the direct links for Lucina and Robin on Amazon for when they go live. Useful if using an auto refresher. I couldn't find their pages via search so I entered the url manually:

Robin

Lucina

Just saw this, thank you.

 

[GuardianE]

I think it was just random, as I only ordered 1 of each

Yeah, they just sent me an email a couple minutes ago

Have you checked your order status? I wonder what it says.

 

[Jobbs]

REALLY?? So after all, Nintendo did nothing to stop this scalper madness. NOTHING!

what could they do? make it illegal to list things on ebay? how would that work?

 

[Geedorah]

Wait did Best Buy just go up?

Up and gone :/ Sorry

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Is the 3 pack splatoon sold out?

Hasn't gone up anywhere.

 

[zulux21]

ugh, Best Buy just cancelled my order of all 5 of them :/ Look's like i'm going to be waiting for Amazon now

did you pay with credit card or paypal?

with the MM LE most of the people who got canceled was because paypal wouldn't verify.

 

[JimJamJones]

Missed out on Lucina, so I took my money out on 4 others.

This after I said that I was only going to hold out for the Yarn Yoshi

Spoiler

trio and Pac-Man and the Splatoon trio

 

[-Horizon-]

Is the 3 pack splatoon sold out?

Not up yet I think.

 

[Pompadour]

I picked up Wario and PAC-MAN from Best Buy but I kind of want to go back and add something else to get free shipping (like Mario series Luigi). Is there any way to do that? The only options they seem to have is Cancel Item(s).

 

[CorvoSol]

Got Pacman but holy shit Robin and Lucina were gone like instantaneously

 

[beanman25]

Payment authorized for Lucina and Robin~~

 

[Byron Bluth]

Ugh got a payment issue email from Best Buy...calling them now

 

[spindashing]

ugh, Best Buy just cancelled my order of all 5 of them :/ Look's like i'm going to be waiting for Amazon now

...Whoa. Was any reason given?

 

[iShouldGoPro]

I managed to snag 10 amiibo.
2 of each.
If anyone needs a Lucina, I definitely need a US Wii-Fit, so let's make it happen
