Did Toysrus take pre-orders for Lucario last time? Wondering how I'm going to go about getting Greninja.

They did online pre-orders as well as in-store pre-orders using little slips you'd grab and then take to the register and "buy".

 

[SixStringPsycho]

So to clarify: Gamestop is only taking pre-orders in-store at 2pm central time, correct?

Its 2pm and nothing on their website.

 

[Megatron]

I am paranoid as hell about BB...

Can anyone tell me how their past BB preorders went?

Very smoothly. Got everyone I ordered. Just keep in mind they ship them all separately for some stupid reason

Palutena is going to be rarer than Shulk, just wait...

 

[ChaosXVI]

Son of a bitch...Best Buy went up while I was on my way home from lunch...Pac Man was still up when I noticed, but by the time I went to check out he was gone...

Fuck man...this hurts.

 

[Balb]

If there are restocks after the fact it won't be so bad.

But that would be a change from what has happened in the past.

I am so out of this game once I have all the Smash ones.

I thought I would be too but they've made the non-SSB ones really appealing (except the Mario Party ones)

 

[A Human Becoming]

I'm too worried to leave this thread right now. Guess I'll try to be productive in the mean time.

 

[Frostinferno]

They did online that's how I got him

Yes they did, online and in-store card. I got one via both sources.

They did. They screwed it up though, and gave a discount to everyone who pre-ordered him. It was pretty nice.

Yep and then they canceled them and opened them back up later with higher shipping charges.

Thanks guys. Hopefully they don't oversell this time.

 

[pctoh]

well at least I got pacman from bestbuy

It's too bad Nintendo of America doesn't listen to social media or anything. You'd think someone would have tried to organize a campaign about this.

Yeah, pretty unfortunate. They did nothing after all to meet demand... or who knows I mean, there's still 2 months left for wave 4 actual release so of course preorders are gonna pop up several times through different retails but still. Lucina and Robin being sold out literally in a second is a bad sign that things will be the same (if not worst) as wave 3 wich characters such as Ike, King DDD and Rosalina.

You can buy exclusive, out of stock amiibo at Nintendo world. Up to wave 3 if I remembered correctly

ew that palutena face lol

The detail on Ganon and Palutena is amazing.

 

[ChitoCrisis]

Just called my local Gamestop and they said there are people waiting in line already. 50 mins to noon. Gonna head over there right now.

 

[friskykillface]

So web in store will be until the GameStop warehouse runs out right

For the Zelda 3DS XL it sold out as I was completing my order in store

All you gotta hope is no dummy / slow order person is in front of you


Good luck everyone

 

[JimJamJones]

So do we know how much the Splatoon 3-pack will cost?

 

[Kalyst]

Paluteeeeennaaaaaaaa

My heart, it can't handle it. I really like playing her in Smash!

Also Splatoon girl looks super cute!

 

[Curler]

So do we know how much the Splatoon 3-pack will cost?

$34.99

 

[spindashing]

The Ganondorf amiibo looks amazing. I'm considering it...

Palutena's nice but her face, oh man.

Very smoothly. Got everyone I ordered. Just keep in mind they ship them all separately for some stupid reason

I somehow expected a lot of horror stories about BB... Thanks for answering.

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

The detail on Ganon and Palutena is amazing.

Be prepared for a downgrade I am assuming. The initial FE amiibo images are a good example.

 

[jetsetmario]

So is Ness going to be online? Gamestop twitter says online but GAF says only Web-in-store.

 

[SalvaPot]

So do we know how much the Splatoon 3-pack will cost?

$34.99

Target and GS are confirmed to offer it.

 

[ash321]

Eww at Palutena's face detail. Ganon looks like a boss (ayyy) though.

 

[sonto340]

I live in the middle of BFE so I'm hoping I can snag two or three ness preorders to trade or sell to some of the amiibros in this thread. I'll report back after 2.

 

[Tabasco]

Its 2pm and nothing on their website.

GameStop

In store preorders should go live at 3PM EST. Online will NOT go live at 3PM EST, they will be delayed slightly, exactly how much is unknown.

That's taken from the amiibo reddit.

Awesome, thanks!

That seems a tad pricey, I figured it would be a little cheaper than just buying three separate amiibo.

 

[A Human Becoming]

Online later.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Man, I really want the Squid Inkling Amiibo. Looks sooo nice.
Edit: The Olimar one has stands in all their crotches.

 

[dallow_bg]

Anyone at GS already?

 

[GuardianE]

They worked so hard to ensure that the stand didn't go right up ZSS's ass. I appreciate it:

 

[PadWarrior]

Not liking my chances of getting a ness

 

[Toki767]

Online later.

Later, but no time or date given.

 

[Curler]

It's the only place in NA that has the squid though.

Oh no...... I have to pull an all nighter with this now. Fking A.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

I'll take my chances with Ness online pre-orders. I don't want him bad enough to deal with waiting at a retail Gamestop,

 

[iShouldGoPro]

Anyone at GS already?

Just got here. No one is outside lol this is going to be a cake walk to get Ness!

 

[Davey Cakes]

I said I was going to cut it off at Ness and ZSS.

Damn it, Ganondorf looks so good though.

 

[spindashing]

I might as well order Sonic and MegaMan with the Ness preorder.

Amazing that Sonic and MegaMan turned out to be relatively common...

 

[Xclash]

Anyone at GS already?

I'm here and I have two other people with me. This should be fun.

 

[Pyrokai]

Um, I seriously don't understand. I can't even find the pages of the new ones on Best Buy. How did you guys find them?

 

[Sanic]

How much value do you generally lose on opened rare amiibos?

 

[TheSlySoul]

$34.99

Target and GS are confirmed to offer it.

Amazon as well. Going to bank on that one.

 

[spyroflame0487]

hmm, was kind of hoping for a more colorful base for the Inklings, oh well.

Gonna leave in a bit to go and wait by my gamestop. Im a little worried, since I only have a small time frame before I have to head downtown to my classes.

I can't understand why stores but this stuff up for sale in the middle of the week, but then again, TRU did the same shit with Skylanders where you had to be there at like 7AM on a tuesday to get a special figure.

If everything goes well, I think the best option to do right now is to preorder Robin, Lucina, Ness and the Splatoon 3 pack at gamestop. Every store will have the others, and I would imagine they'll be easier to find, not to mention you can preorder at other stores. In the very least, TRU only charges a buck for preorders so if they have those cards you can go there and preorder.

 

[_woLf]

Um, I seriously don't understand. I can't even find the pages of the new ones on Best Buy. How did you guys find them?

Reddit. a BB employee posted that they were going up soon and posted SKUs. They went up ~17 minutes later.

 

[Maggots]

It's in the 3-pack, isn't it? That should be "*everywhere*".
*not available in store, pre orders start at 2:00 AM online, kmart exclusive, llimit none per scalper

fixed

That BB employee - he is the real MVP.

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

It's the only place in NA that has the squid though.

I know, but I just wasn't expecting that much, thought maybe $30.

Also confirmed other countries are getting the squid separate? Didn't watch other directs, just US.

 

[kirby_fox]

Don't even see these on best buy. Where are the pages?

Just picked up more hours at work tonight so hopefully my phone let's me get Ness. I bet the servers will crash though.

 

[weevles]

Damn being punished for my timezone and real life. Completely missed BB preorders. Sigh, this is insanity.

 

[Interface23]

The squid and a green plush yoshi come as pack ins in EU for Splatoon and woolly world
