This can not be good. I wounder why!
The dream is over. And they should go after the people that placed more than 2. Hell even if I missed out on Palu and ZSS. That doesn't really bother me. It's the people ordering £1000 worth of the same Amiibo that piss me off.
Although Dark Pit has been offered numerous times by ShopTo (guessing that £20 price tag puts people off) and is still available to order at Game.
So the only places he disappeared from quickly are ones without a purchase limit.
I still think he and Palutena will be harder to find than Ganon and ZSS though.

I have no idea what the rarity factor is on any of these right now are. I'd like to get Captain Falcon but that doesnt seem to be happening at any of my local stores.
Stay in the dark and stay happy. These things are harder to find than Amiibo.
Those people are the worst kind of people. And amazon uk deserves a smack in the face for not putting a limit on the dang things after 4 waves of experience already.
Dunno why Amazon hasn't implemented anything at this point. It sucks knowing that there's some scalper with more than 20 Lucina. D;
@1up I'd say that seems like an okay price from what I've seen in online. is it worth it to you? That's all it really matters.
I don't know if it's "officially" out yet, it's one of those things that didn't quite have a definitive release date, just "late April". So you could still have a shot at finding one in the coming weeks.
Third party seller on Amazon. I admit I paid over MSRP (30), but that was still well within my window of what was acceptable given how long I've wanted something like that. I want that Gandondorf too, but I'll wait for that to come down in price.

Damn, this is impossible to find for MSRP now, isn't it? When was this released?

It was when orders started to be processed. Likely why Wave 4 went up so much on Amazon UK last week.

For people interested, Palu's page on Newegg is up

fuck them, I dunno how many times I've seen them cancel preorders here
They will get their just desserts in due time for angering the amiibo gods.
This wait is gonna be painful.

all of wave 5/6 are up on newegg, have been for a few weeks.
they haven't even sold wave 4 yet on newegg

That's a good question. All I had heard was "late April", and when it got to that point and still no sign of a solid release date I went ahead and bought it third-party. For what it's worth, I don't think it's "properly" launched yet, as even the scalpers don't have very many.
Also, port strike is back *sigh*

Yeah, I'm seeing it for like $35 and up. That Metroid looks nice, so the price doesn't seem too bad. Congrats!
I tried to order 3 Ness amiibo back when Amazon uk first listed them, and they reduced it down to 2. They did this for everybody. I'm guessing they do it again. Unfortunately I made the mistake of cancelling that order, failing to predict just how hard Ness would be to get in the US.
what's up with those assholes there? get it together so the rest of us can stop suffering.
Thanks! It's the first Jakks Pacific figure that's felt worth the money, let alone more.

Congrats dood! Looks awesome. Hope mine gets in great condition too. Well, at least the figure, I plan on setting them free soon.
Does anyone remember the brand of the bat display that was posted a while ago?

Are people already getting their Ness Amiibo? If so then i'm surprised and jealous. I'd love one.
And I also bought a Shulk and Mega Man Amiibo today. Ness would be my next target along with King Dedede or Metaknight.

it a european Ness, you can tell by it being out and the No. 34 Ness in the top corner.

Where'd you get Shulk?
BernkastelWitch
Neo Member
Amazon. A Japanese import. It's how I also got Rosalina: I imported her from Japan. So Shulk is the second Amiibo I imported from Japan.
Only issue is that while Mega Man will take a few days to come, Shulk will take an entire month to come here. I can wait though at least.

Are you in NA? I thought Amazon.jp didn't ship to NA?

I am yet typing down "Shulk Amiibo" on NA amazon nets me a few results, including ones being shipped from Japan to North America. Usually costs around 40-50 dollars though.

I never used this service but I think most people who buy from Jp Amazon to US use Tenso http://www.tenso.com/en/

Oh yeah, a third party imports from Japan and then resells here at a markup, makes sense, thanks!
Yes and no. There were so many ships stuck at sea that the potential of it still be an issue was there ... but very unlikely.
I figured if there really was an extra Wave 2s sitting in the ocean or whatever, it would've gotten to us by now.

Too soon to tell, but be ready next week. If they don't put them up next week then they won't be doing preorders. Don't see a reason why amazon wouldn't put them up for preorder.
Not too worried. I think it's probably easier to find a ton of truckers who can take a shipment than it is to find a ton of people that are able to dock boats and get shipments moving off of them...then again, they do seem to always be looking for drivers...
Funny story. I was at walmart Wednesday buying some phones on clearance and while I was waiting in line, 2 different people called asking about gold mario.
The clerk acted very annoyed, didn't check, and just said no we don't have any gold amiibo. 2 calls in 5 minutes. Wonder how many they get a day?

Nope, I don't know what to make of it.
Did you manage to order an Amiibo? or you're not going to import?

Does anyone else use the Target tracker?
I'm looking for Captain Falcon and called one of the stores that should have had him in stock and they said that people call all the time and they dont have any in stock and the target tracker is wrong.
Came in late into the amiibo game.
brickseek?
I'm pretty sure it's not even close to accurate. There has been a Villager listed as in stock at the Target closest to me for months. There's also supposed to be a Wii Fit Trainer close by. Yeah, sure.
It also lists Villager as being available in 7% of stores nationwide, Wii Fit Trainer at 4%, and Marth at 2%. And we all know the actual percentage for all three is 0%.
