I sure hope that Silver Mario will be more widespread, or else Target will be an absolute hell hole
Target already has Jigglypuff, Sliver Mario, and rumors of Lucina and Robin on the 29th. I might get there at 4 am

Like Mega Man and Sonic, he might be hard to find then flood TRUs everywhere.
Just open them. Let them breathe!

730 actually wasn't too late for a lot of people. Some people I know got there 9 and were 8th in line.
It stinks cause I'm not a morning person
Just think of it as a really really late night ; )
Wish I could. Fridays are currently the only days I'm free (fortunately) meaning it's the only day I have to be productive and get things done. Sleepiness kills my productivity. Whatever, it's worth it for one day :x
Target's system supposedly says May 29th. NoA (obviously) hasn't confirmed a thing, even it's existence..
So he's supposed to come out along with the new wave? Interesting, I suppose they will bring him over to Peru too, just like Gold Mario.
Wit? Silver mario exclusive to target. Well, damn. I'd gladly trade a gold for silver.
Fred Meyer has silver mario in the system too so it shouldn't be an exclusive.
Oh, good. Hope it ain't too hard to find.
Robin yeah.Anyone who got Wal-Mart orders in the first time they opened still have April 27 or April something for one of their orders?
My Robin still has a 27th of April date but I'm gonna guess it'll ship and arrive with my Lucina, which is June 5th.

Any news on when preorders for the second Wave of Shulks ordered via the website will start charging? It really needs to charge now. Only parents have cc and they said they wouldn't spend it but the cc is almost dead and I don't trust them enough lol.
I can't even cancel it since I had to order as a guest since I couldn't login on my iPad. (I don't wanna cancel it tho.) I guess I'll let fate decide what happens since the future is not written.

I went to my local TRU at 8:10 in NJ and was tenth in line. It was actually a really good time and most of the line knew each other pretty well before we were let in. Tickets went out around 9:15.
So how early do you have to show up for Target on the May 29th? Is it one per customer?

You're supposed to challenge fate Lucina!
It depends on the Target but they usually do limit it to deter scalpers at this point. My local Target (Indy southisde) limited us to two of any Amiibo on Rosalina day (so we could get like 2 Rosalina or 1 Rosa 1 whatever else or w/e).
It was super cold with a threat of 4+ inches of snow and I got there about an hour before opening, still ~8 people there ahead of me and more showed up before it opened, though it was generally peaceful and a lady in line who worked there assured us of how many Rosas were there (44) It will probably be much nicer May 29th, so i am probably gonna get there earlier since I'm sure more people will be willing to camp for a Pokemon in nicer weather. I don't even care about Jiggs but i will "settle" for that for Lucina/Robin tradebait if I can't get my Fire Emblems. I hope Jiggs is similarly plentiful, expecting 4-8 of everything else in the wave at most.

Silly question but does anyone have the Super Mario versions of Mario and Luigi? The checkerboard base pattern on my Mario is really distinct while the Luigi one is faint. It drives me crazy. Wondering if this was just a bad paint job or intentional. I can't find any good pics to compare...

Sonic is all gone at BB, glad Fry's still had some. If it wasn't for MK8, I wouldn't even care but I'm a sucka for costumes. Mega Man costume looks awesome.
My Target limited amiibos to two a piece. Luckily I have three Targets within ten minutes of my house and another Target less than twenty minutes away so things should be spread out.

I have all of the Super Mario line except for Gold Mario. I know exactly what you are talking about, my Yoshi has the faint checkerboard pattern issue. It's so bad that you have to really look hard to even see it, and if you didn't know about it you would think the base is just a solid light grey.
My Mario and Luigi are both fine though.

So, I've read a lot of disappointing journeys at TRU today.
Which Gaffers scored a Greninja today and what number in line were you?

Got Ness and Pacman. They look great. But it seems the production quality has lowered a bit, the seams are very noticeable and lack that extra layer of polish. Probably to produce them even quicker due to demand.
And, Ness's eyes are too big!
But, they're still good figures. Just a step down from the original waves IMO.

Not necessarily true... Gold Mario appeared in TRU system before it was announced he was exclusive

I've sold extras of things to total strangers that I've seen in line a few times for cost.
Although to give another point of view, if your friend is selling their collection to get out of the game then to be able to make up the cost of everything they do need to get good money for the rares since the commons will not sell for shit.
First in line, was there at 1 am.

how come some amiibos do not have a number on the box?
Charizard is 33 for instance, but my kirby has nothing.

I think they number the boxes in Europe but not in Murika(and Japan?).
The US boxes have no numbers, boxes from Europe have numbers.

cheers guys..
boo my kirby is import :'(
gotta buy again now.. just does not look right
They're freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
This would've been so much easier if they just stuck to one packaging scheme or just Japan and everyone else but nope. NoA had to make it harder for its customers.

Any word on the amazon preorders? I'm one of the victims of the gamestop incident from the 2nd of this month... Never got a phone call.

I love Ness's little backpack.
Nothing solid. There is a CS rep rumor for this Friday, May 1st.

Yea that's true. I've been researching prices lately and it seems the best bet for both a seller and buyer is to sell the collection with the Commons. Even if it's not the full collection it gives someone a place to start or possible dupes for opening or whatnot.
EDIT: For a seller that is getting out and for a buyer that needs nearly all of the rares.
Well, hope that wasn't Esteban.
Come on, would this face lie to you?
Seriously, the rumor came from someone who created a throwaway account on Reddit and claimed to be an Amazon rep. We shall see.
another customer rep rumor? lol

Robin's left eye looks messed up to me. Is it just the angle?
Dat thirst. Maybe they won't do a preorder like Target.Come on, would this face lie to you?

Holy shit.
This is why I ordered a Ness from the July import restock, because I don't trust Gamestop even though I stood in line for over 2 hours. JUST IN CASE THEY FUCK ME.
I was just reading this elsewhere. This seems fake, no? Whey would Toys 'R Us refer to themselves as "I"? Why would a refund for an online order be waiting for someone at the store? What does "arrise" mean? Did they mean "arise"? "arrive"?
EDIT: Or is a cancellation of an in-store pre-order yesterday?
