May 29th may be the worst amiibo day yet, People who didnt get wave pre orders will be hungry that day and Silver Mario is tge icing on the cake.

Its gonna take some serious patience to survive the 29th no matter how you look at it.

I'm hoping that I'll be able to score a Splatoon 3 pack, that's all I want on the 29th as far as amiibo go...

Just got Marth about 5 minutes ago. There is a trick to it.

With one click enabled, and you have the page where it is showing $12.99, use "control" while clicking to open up a new tab. Keep doing this over and over again but make sure you use control or you'll lose the $12.99 page. After about 75 tries I got one.

I don't understand what you're saying here. It basically sounds like you're saying refresh but by opening a new tab instead of hitting refresh?

Also I can't catch a break, it feels every time I refresh the price goes up more and more.

Oh my gosh. Darn I was supposed to go to something but now I'm hesitant to leave in case Marth becomes available again.

If you refresh the page, you lose the $12.99 Amazon page. If you hold down the control key and press click on the "one click" button while the $12.99 page is still up, you will open up a new tab. This allows you to keep the Amazon page where you have access to the one click button and can keep pressing it. I opened up 10 tabs, deleted them, then tried again until I got one.

Note: It can be tricky getting the $12.99 page to show up. You have to wait for Marth to start flickering in and out of stock.

*haha, holy shit wrong thread.

Back on topic I guess with this;

Thank you thank you THANK YOU to the person who posted about that Amiami restock of Pit, I have been looking for him since he allegedly hit the shelves, and have had no luck(winded up finding Lil Mac from that wave, though).

I'd consider bringing caffine to go early, but there's nowhere for bathroom breaks (although the people in line fr Rosalina's launch were fine with people briefly leaving the line and not being jerks about it).

For those of you who have seen Marth at $12.99 on Amazon, were any of you on mobile? Because I've been refreshing left and right over the past couple days and never saw it at that price, much less had it sell out while trying to purchase it in time lol

Not mobile. I have more luck seeing that page with Chrome. One "easier" way to get to that page is if you are lucky enough where you can "save it for later". You have to be able to put it in your cart first though. Once you have some luck and get it saved, you can find it listed if you click on your cart. From there if you click on Marth you have a better chance of it taking you to the Amazon page where it is $12.99. But, only if it's flickering or was recently in stock.

Tried to preorder 'em but it said I couldn't preorder them because they can't be shipped to the states (for whatever odd reason). :(

You gotta use a forwarding service; Tenso, for example, would help you in that regard.

If only I read Japanese...

As someone who can BARELY read anything JP, using Tenso's guide below helped me out greatly. There's also an option to display a page in English (I'm using Firefox FWIW).

Above the "Pre-order" option, you should see this. However, when I was buying it, I had the language in JP; I just followed Tenso's guide on how to order from amazon through their site.
 
How does everyone get Amiibos from Amazon Japan? Forwarding service? Tenso or what have you?

Tenso is what most people use. I personally don't import from Amazon Japan, I do my best to get them all in the states (and have been very successful outside of Greninja, which I got from Zavvi for ~$18 shipped)

oh, guess it doesn't work. now i don't feel so bad, haha. thanks for checking all the way.

Yeah, trying to use a different address didn't work either.

Of course, creating an entirely new customer account would work, but I'm not going to go that far, sorry.

Thank you for this! I'm so mad with amiibo right now but this is super handy since I've wanted to buy some artbooks from Amazon jp

Ah, I probably should've thought of that. ^^; Thanks though. I think I'll still wait till either YesAsia or Amazon Uk has Greninja and/or Jigglypuff.
 
Based on that target leak u think ima head there the morning of the 29th to try and get the splatoon 3 pack and maybe a jiggly or lucina for trades.
