EB games site works for the US?Who in Canada is willing to order me a Ness amiibo from EB games?Got all the way to checkout and they would only accept Canadian addresses.
I think so, yeah.
Well, it comes down to how much profit they make off of however many Amiibos they sell versus the money lost due to the issues.
I'd wager that having your nationwide website and in-store order system, coupled with other customers simply walking out and/or not bothering to enter the store while this madness is going on, is worse than the money they will actually make.
But that's just a guess.
It could have been Lucina D:

It was most likely an agreement between Gamestop and Nintendo. Gamestop is smart capitalizing over this demand.
Too bad their servers aren't as good...

no, you're not spoiled. they just showed a character from the game and said this is the ultimate despair (which is a term used in the game)
Yep.

Doubt he has 10. If he's charging 100, I'm sure he'd easily be able to secure 10 for less than a hundred, say 50 a pop, and flip those ones for 100.

My first two orders were cancelled for being oversold. When I tried to do the Web-in-Store order, I was told it was sold out - the clerk at the time added "Probably forever" to the end of it.

Why do any store exclusive at all? It's stupid.

and that's probably the character "behind" everything, why else would they post her? So they probably spoiled it and you're just trying to slightly cover it.
Still pissed either way people need to be careful.
Yep, freaking Junior Member too what the fuck

Ness (and now Lucas) are the only amiibo I want. This sucks.

to be fair, a lot of the people slamming the place for a ness are simply people who have identified it as a likely rare amiibo and plan to resell it. It's not all big earthbound fans trying to get ness amiibos.

Especially when they sell out in seconds. They gain very little from it rather than capitalizing on the exclusivity.

I honestly feel like the spoiler rule goes out of the window after 6 months of release but that is just me.
all these dollars and children's dreams hurt my back.

Earthbound? What? I thought he was the kid from Pokemon
That's bullshit and completely unreasonable. A lot of people can't afford to play a game within the first six months.

thanks for trying though. Anyway, game has more to it, so I will be able to live with it.Not surprising.

I'm one of the guys who got spoiled
Tell me one reason now I should play through the first game, let alone the second. I hate getting shit spoiled.

Sorry about that, didn't think it through since I was focused on the joke. I already editted the post so it has spoiler tags now. :c
