Has greninja and jigglypuff ever reappeared to order from like anywhere at all? I just need those 2. Is anyone beside Marth showing signs of restocks coming soon?

Also, what are you some of doing to protect your amiibos from the summer heat?

$500

SHIT

tbh man, commons are a hard sell now, you might be better off doing all rares x unicorns for close to ebay prices than list the commons for not cheap but kinda cheap

Sadly 500 is almost what the ebay prices would be for the rares/unicorns. I'm just throwing in 23 commons :p

Yeah that's going to be a hard sell to most on GAF. Most won't pay more than at cost here.

It looks like you could do well on ebay honestly. Personally I would just sell the rare ones. By now most people have all the commons. You might be able to pull $350-400 on the rare ones alone.

Speaking of ebay, I have a decent amount of extra rares I could sell for respectable cash. I don't want to, I just want to trade them for Villager/Marth then sell my extras to Gaffers. If I list on ebay I'm a scalper, and also supporting scalpers. So far not one single of my Amiibo has been bought or sold in this manner, and I'd like to keep it that way. Sadly, those two are so rare I may have to resort to it if I want a complete NA NIB collection.

Well if you didn't buy them to sell them, I don't see how that would be scalping, though others might disagree. Anyway in the end do what's best for you personally.

Anyway definitely don't want this thread to devolve into another scalping debate that accomplishes nothing but getting people angry.

Yeah, let's not start a big scalper discussion again. Do whatever, just don't brag about it in the thread. :)

No...unless I missed it. I personally don;t need them so haven;t been watching but I didn't get any alerts on Line. I have all Wave 4 preordered except Jigglypuff, Greninja, and Ness but I know some people are hoping to get a Lucina or Robin from Amazon,

Maybe we get lucky and they put up Wave 5 at the same time (doubt it) Missed out on the overseas orders for Dark Pit, Zero Suit Samus and the rest

At this rate I expect Smash to be done worldwide before Amazon US Wave 4 goes live.

Looking for a NA Lucina (Walmart canceled mine as expected and I'm utterly devastated)

Would anyone be interested in trading for one of the following for it?

NA Greninja
EU Jigglypuff
EU Dark Pit
EU Paulutena
EU Ganondorf
EU Zero Suit Samus

Figured I just throw this out there now to see the responses.

It's still too early. It's hard to know what I'll be able to get at this point and I'm sure others are in the same boat. If you get no takers, I'd try again shortly after release.

Sorry to hear that

We can make a deal. I PMed you. I need everything on that list so when the time arrives and if you still don't have a Lucina we can trade for whatever I still need at the time.

Who knows though....maybe you get one before then

Amazon will hopefully come up one of these years and you may snag one.

So I think all I need still to satisfy my Amiibolust is ZSS, Ganondorf, Mewtwo and maybe, maybe Lucas. Depending on how much shit I feel like putting up with to get him at that point. After that I'll just leave it to time and chance how many I get.

2 AM in the morning, heard a rumor online
Store exclusives were going up, and everything would be fine
So I stayed up and waited, with no preorders in sight
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
Stopped refreshing for the night
Woke up to the announcement
Every store had sold out
And I was raging to myself,
"This ain't what collecting is all about!"
About to swear off Nintendo, new announcements were made
Now I need Splatoon and Yarn Yoshi
There really is no escape

Welcome to collecting all amiibo
All sold out online (All sold out online)
Only commons to find
Plenty of salt when collecting all amiibo
No preorders here (No preorders here)
All the scalpers cheer

Welp, I missed the guy with the NA Greninja by a bunch of hours.

If anyone has a NA Greninja to trade I have all of wave 4 available, except Ness, to trade.

Just saw this pop up on a banned site -- if you preorder Splatoon from Toys R Us (with a required $1 deposit), you can get any amiibo for $5 when you pick up the game. I'd totally do it if I hadn't already preordered from Target.

That'd be a great deal if I didn't have Best Buy's GCU membership...

Splatoon: $47.99
Amiibo: $10.39
Total: $58.38

TRU
Splatoon: $59.99
Amiibo: $5.00
Total: $64.99

It looks like I will probably have an extra Robin and Lucina. If these orders go through, is anyone willing to trade a Greninja for one of them?
