Best Buy has also put up placeholders.

 

[richiek]

Welp, looks like I'll have to wait on line at Nintendo World to get Ness.

 

[hawk2025]

I don't even think we anticipated this level of insanity

Wow

Do you guys not get to tell Nintendo "hey, the last exclusive sold like gangbusters, far above supply. Can we get more of the new one?"?

Or is it just that even with *larger* supply this is still happening?

 

[gabrielt16]

First in line. Haven't been able to check out. Farthest was getting to robins page

 

[Galang]

Just doesn't work for me, the site's horrible and even when I added to cart then nothing happened! I just wanted Ness agh

 

[DryvBy]

Like seriously. Take full-price pre-orders all day today and then build that many Amiibos

Such a smart idea. Why would Nintendo want to be nice?

 

[Frogstep]

I just wanna do my order and go home. Pleeeeeeeeease!

 

[ostrichKing]

Best Buy has also put up placeholders.

No...best buy sold out...

 

[Mike Double U]

Mobile version is still up guys: http://m.gamestop.com/Browse/Search...sort=ReleaseDate&sortAssending=false&filters=

But where is Ness?!

 

[Tanukid]

Well....glad I didn't use my lunch break to head to Gamestop at this point. Sounds like pure chaos right now. :/

 

[SalvaPot]

Best Buy has also put up placeholders.

Best Buy already sold them this morning.

 

[JohnTinker]

I feel bad for the people who are waiting at Gamestop who DON'T want Amiibos. They're stuck behind all of us dumb-dumbs and just want to buy GTA V or something.

Some guy who had an XB1 reserved game in started mouthing off to the clerk here because the guy couldn't get into the systems because they're down from Amiibo sales

 

[Pilgrimzero]

Psh, they wrote the text book!

It's called "I can Capitalism, and so can you."

 

[PMS341]

He said one guy starting getting really upset, and the other guy started screaming at the first guy then started going after him.



Gainesville

Sounds right. That huge ass Gamestop gets so much traffic.

 

[rjinaz]

Best Buy has also put up placeholders.

They sold already. I got 3 of them.

 

[timetokill]

Which GameStop? I'm at gateway

Washington Square

 

[CorvoSol]

EB Canada might actually still work for Ness guys

 

[Gucci Messiah]

i took off work to preorder this stupid toy and now their shitty walmart servers are down? fuck this, if i see reggie walking down the street i swear to god i'll karate chop him right in the throat.

 

[RootCause]

Such a smart idea. Why would Nintendo want to be nice?

That would be too easy. We must make them earn their amiibos.

 

[Armaly]

One order just went through. Currently third in line.

 

[friskykillface]

I feel bad for the people who are waiting at Gamestop who DON'T want Amiibos. They're stuck behind all of us dumb-dumbs and just want to buy GTA V or something.

They just push them to the front

Two other people not wanting amiibos just were allowed to cut the line to buy/trade in stuff

 

[AdanVC]

Friend just called me from a N. Florida Gamestop.

Two guys just started throwing down because Ness is sold out.

Ridiculous!!!!! :S

 

[SinCityAssassin]

They sold already. I got 3 of them.

Goddamn it.

 

[Maengun1]

Got to GS early.....their computers crashed exactly at 2....still waiting.

YO

 

[Toki767]

I don't even think we anticipated this level of insanity

Wow

So basically everyone saw this coming but Nintendo and every retailer out there.

 

[A Human Becoming]

God damn it Amazon put them up so they can sell out already! I have shit to do.

 

[Korosenai]

Ness is the only amiibo I wanted out of all of this, and now i'll probably never get him. So salty right now.

 

[Marty Chinn]

Like seriously. Take full-price pre-orders all day today and then build that many Amiibos

In the beginning I could understand why it happened but now with full knowledge of what's going on, there's no excuse to not be doing this.

 

[The Shogun]

Do you guys not get to tell Nintendo "hey, the last exclusive sold like gangbusters, far above supply. Can we get more of the new one?"?

We get what NOA will give us

I've never seen the entire WIS servers crash this hard before though. They went down / under some strain for LE Majora and LE Majora system but these Amiibos just tanked the entire countries network

 

[DryvBy]

But where is Ness?!

Wait for the page to update past 34 results. That's when he's there.

 

[rocketskates]

This is madnesssssssss

 

[mrhej]

Welp I got my Splatoon 3 pack so I'm very happy.

I don't know how you guys do this with every wave, this was stressful for the first time.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

EBGames has Ness Wario and Pac-man up!

 

[LiK]

Earthbound fans get dicked over no matter what

 

[PadWarrior]

Earthbound ain't nothing to fuck with.

Lol I see lol

 

[AdanVC]

I feel bad for the people who are waiting at Gamestop who DON'T want Amiibos. They're stuck behind all of us dumb-dumbs and just want to buy GTA V or something.

Poor souls. They only want to buy MK8 to play it on their Wii's!!

 

[rjinaz]

Done refreshing. Just putting a "check 4 change" on the number 34 on the amiibo search page.

 

[Niraj]

This is pretty miserable.

 

[The12thGripper]

I GOT HIM

 

[DryvBy]

Anyone in Canada want to help me out?

Super crazy.

I would love to know (not asking, I know you can't say ) just how much bigger, if at all, Ness' supply is relative to Shulk. We could at least get *some* idea if Nintendo is even trying to increase supply of these things!

 

[RuneFactoryFanboy]

I was first in line at my gamestop. Still waiting for their computer. Going to be bummed out if Ness is really sold out already.

 

[Speedwagon]

I GOT HIM

Congrats.

 

[Piggus]

He said one guy starting getting really upset, and the other guy started screaming at the first guy then started going after him.



Gainesville

Lol, this is why if I get ahold of a rare Amiibo that shit is going on eBay. People are truly obsessive over these damn things and it's hilarious.

 

[EroticSushi]

 

[IronLich]

I'm trying to get a take home test done but I just hear Lucina on my shoulder "But don't you see...", and then I refresh gamestop in futility.

Retailers. I just want thing.

 

[sonto340]

Someone in here talking about how they're making a "Nintendo phone" I had to avoid laughing aloud to not make them feel bad.

 

[Jrs3000]

This wouldnt be a issue if it wasnt a exclusive. Sigh.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Standing in line at GS and servers are down. There's about 5 of us here.

Friend just called me from a N. Florida Gamestop.

The hype has begun!
