What would be the use? Gamestop.com is still down.
Nintendo World doesn't do pre-orders for exclusives. I'm sure they will get them at some point. That being said, I couldn't take any chances as Ness is for a friend.

Same happened to me they never called and denied me having a pre order when I called.
GameStop is awesome!

To put into perspective how low supply is, figures are selling out, while our servers are crashing.
In other words we are selling out of supply rapidly in a worst case scenario. If we could put through the total volume demanded these things would have lasted minutes.
Supply on Amiibo is really really tight

Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.

After a while, yeah. I called corporate and they gave me a $20 gift card, too. They admitted they were having so much trouble with store employees buying amiibo.

My manager said she's pretty sure they were the same stock, but that some might go online later.

Nobody in north america knows what earthbound is guys
We accidentally sold a wave 1 Shulk to a wave 2 customer (meaning he was supposed to get his in May) so to make it up for the original guy, we gave him a $15 gift card as well as a paid off Shulk in May. I'd put something on your survey and the district manager can reach out to you and make things right.
Edit: Saw the rebuttal. I'm glad they got you taken care of.

can't find the preorder amiibos though. I don't think they are listed yet still...
That all depends on how they sell the cards. If they are randomly packaged then you may never truly get the DLC that you want.
Their system is fucked up and it is really ruining my love for Nintendo. That is a love that's been built up for 30 years that they are tearing down in a couple months.

That is what I am thinking as well since they probably only use one warehouse.
As Shogun said, the stock supply just sucks, even for 1 Amiibo per order.
I was on the website the entire time and couldn't get around the "Please try again" nonsense, was able to add it to on mobile but by then it was too late
Well, when Majoras Mask n3DS came out it sold out quite fast online, but WiS was up for about 3 hours longer, so I think they are separate stock.
If that's truly the case, I'm not all that surprised. Oh man

You know what would have been smart? Bundle Ness with the Wii U as a package.
Wii U sales problem solved!

Tried too go on my lunch break but the line was to slow, pretty sure I missed ness
Huh, I know the stuff with Ness sucks and all, but I think it's a bit early to saw that this Wave is the worst. There are still places where preorder haven't even gone live yet (at least as far as I know Amazon and Gamestop online still haven't gone up). I'm not saying it will definitely get better, but let's at least see how every folds past the first day

That would be one giant clusterfuck. I can't even imagine the magnitude of salt.
Meanwhile, how many Mario/Peach amiibo are you guys sitting at? The crap that is supposedly so popular they need to constantly make tons of them.

WIS stock and online website stock are 2 different things FIY
Lots. Nintendo gave the best stock for Wave 1 for sure.

timing wise it might not just be a FE IF amiibo wave... but a FE IF amiibo wave + a FE x Megaten amiibo wave.
a large wave with a number of figures that work with both games...
heck I can see them doing a limited edition of the FE x Megaten game with an exclusive amiibo that unlocks stuff in FE IF and the same for FE IF just to get people to buy both.

Really depends on how pre-ordering goes for TRU. Target was awful pre-ordering for Rosalina and GS was bad with Shulk. I was able to get Lucario pre-ordered pretty easy. Although BB selling out in 30 minutes gives me little faith.

As far as Pokemon are concerned could they do a Skylanders and release a 'Mini' version (and half price) of Pokemon Amiibo? considering there are so many,

store exclusive selling out in an hour with people still in store wanting to get one. it's a nightmare. Nintendo is a fucking joke company with this shit.
by contrast shulk was up for weeks before finally being taken down. and some people got theirs delayed but there are at least more coming. no more rosalina or lucario or meta knight coming. i'm just so sick of this shit. i wish i had never started buying these dumb fucking things

This can't be. No, not when I'm close to the front.
It has been the worst by far in Europe, I would be surprised if it was any better in the US...
Oh boy, don't give Nintendo any ideas lol.
not really sure how GS was bad with shulk...
I wasn't even stalking amiibo threads back then and I got one no problem a fwhile after the preorders went live
