I love that gamestop.com has been down for 2 hours. I wonder how much money they usually make In 2 hours?

There never was a product page.
Its weird because I have two Ness Amiibo's pre-ordered and it was effortless, since I'm from the UK, and I'm definitely only going to keep one at most and cancel the other, and I'm even contemplating cancelling them both and people across the pond are having trouble securing a single pre-order.
That was my plan too. Shattered. Entire day devoted to plastic toys. I know I'm doing it to myself, but I can't help, and feel some resentment towards nintendo.
Hah, yeah, I was! But like I said, it's a bit early to say for sure. While GS has been slow with Ness orders because of their servers, it doesn't seem like they're sold out yet, and there are still some places where preorders haven't gone live yet. I'm just saying, we really don't know how bad it is yet, although admittedly, the GS thing has gotten it off to a sour taste.

That's what I thought, thanks. I'm about ready to give up on this whole Amiibo thing and just sell off my full collection (save Gold Mario). Nothing is worth this agita. It was kind of quaint in the beginning but now it's just an exercise in frustration.

They may have just got a smaller allotment for those than their exclusive.

Girl behind the register is giving out borderlands posters for people in line. No thanks... Just want my Ness...

They ran out of Robin and Lucina while I was waiting.

Probably amazon, I plan to try and secure one more of each of them just in case I can't get Ness and need to trade.
Amazon. Eventually.

You think that's bad? I was at the register, he added Robin and Lucina to the cart for me, and by the time he got to the checkout part of the process, it removed Robin and Lucina from my cart at the register

...so FE is cool but pac-man's the only other guy i'm checking for, what's the over/under on him being hard to find, you think?
Amazon, target, wait for restock, import or succumb to scalpers. I know... It sucks.

So there's still a chance to order it online when the site comes back up?

2 hours in line and only one order 100% successfully went through. What a fucking joke. They took a total of 2 orders and the second one they weren't even sure it went through.
Sure, private message me!
If he ends up like Sonic and MegaMan he will be easy to track down.

Easy compared to the FE pair.

Local Gamestop can still pre-order Ness. Hopefully I still can in twenty minutes when I drive over.

Two and a half hours later I have Ness. I didn't even bother trying to buy what was left besides him. I just wanted him and to gtfo.
That's what I'm hoping for.
I mean...Namco made the damn game, I'd be shocked if they didn't throw a fit if Pac-Man amiibos were in short supply.

That's exactly what happened to me and I was second in line...

I wasn't there for Robin or Lucina, although Robin was at the back of my mind. That was just my experience waiting.
This is insanity. I don't even think Sparta could compete with this

My awesome gf waited at Gamestop for over 2 hours but left with a Ness pre order! Now all I am missing is the splatoon 3 pack. Come on amazon!

Whoever said Ness was out of stock was lying. Fiancee just got hers preordered.

Had Jiggly in cart. Got fucking robbed during payment processing.
Am 99% sodium.
I couldn't get it added to Cart. It wasn't saying OOS at first. It was some other error. I think it was the site getting hit or something and it just wouldn't add it.
I lost Robin and Lucina from my Best Buy cart that way. First I lost Lucina, then on the last page lost Robin... I did end up getting them at GS at least.
Seriously, pre-orders selling out in less than 5 minutes online at multiple retailers are just absurd.

Also something to note, he took longer to sell out during the time he was up at Best Buy online.
