See, I thought this was originally the case, it was Web In Store only. Would be a shame though

Yeah I made sure to be extra nice to my GS employees. They can't control the craziness. Not their fault.
That's good. I hope the preordering continues for more than 12 hours at least. Haven't seen that since December.
Wow. If that's true, wow. Sucks.

I was so close to leaving several times while I was waiting in line, but people in front of me kept leaving, so I stuck around. Glad I did... and I'd like to thank those people for leaving. I probably wouldn't have been able to get everything otherwise.
I don't know if it changed in between now and yesterday, but the original announcement on twitter definitely had it as web in store and online.

Rumour is that there won't be any online orders as the web in store orders took everything.

Guys Nintendo told me no one in America likes Earthbound. Why are you buying a Ness figure for a game you clearly don't like? NoA wouldn't lie to me.

but it looks like Ness is still available.... people are going in to Gamestop right now and not waiting in line and ordering him...
Holy crap. Did they only get like 5 allocated?

they live and die by surveys. tell them who laughed at you in a tellgamestop survey
GS also take pre-order for Lucina and Robin, both of them out of stock before Ness did.

Waiting 3 hours for Ness wasn't worth it. If my time is worth at least $5/hour then I might as well buy it off ebay.

Still no Amazon or Walmart?
After the big push they did for Codename Steam and reprinting Marth, they are still doing this crap.

I'll just wait and get them from Amazon France.
Ness and Pac-Man pre-ordered at GameStop, along with the Splatoon 3 pack.
Still need Robin, Lucina, Charizard, Wario, Jigglypuff, and Greninja. Not too worried about Charizard/Wario, hoping to snag Jigglypuff/Greninja on Amazon Japan (does anyone know if they've opened up pre-orders yet?), but Robin/Lucina are stressing me the fuck out ;_;

Nope. Nothing.
They went up and sold out a while ago.
I don't even know man. Somehow i wish they will sell all amiibo on their online store after everything done.

I got excited when Iwata revealed Lucas for smash and said he's from mother 3 that's only been released in Japan. I was waiting for "until now".
At this point, I dont know why people are even excited for a marth reprint. It'll be a bullshit tiny run that sells out immediately too.

Won't people be able to just order another Ness when it goes up for PO online after getting it from WIS as well? Not sure how they plan on preventing that.
Nintendo is still figuring out this e-commerce thing :/

Surprisingly, Wario sold out before Ness did.

I really hate sitting here hitting refresh on amazon for Lucina and Robin. Friggin first in line at gamestop, and still didn't get them is such horse shit.

Gamestop called me back and was able to order me a Ness. Just went in and paid for it. 2 exclusives down.
Ness? Are you talking about the kid from Pokemon? Because I really like Pokemon.

Walked in and ordered Ness and Pac-man with no wait. Can't believe it.

Idk if this was posted before but i saw this tweeted by GS
"Due to very strong demand for the newest wave of Nintendos amiibo figures, GameStop is experiencing some technical issues with our website.
At this time, we are accepting pre-orders of amiibo in stores only while we resolve these issues.
We are working aggressively to resolve the technical issues as quickly as possible and expect it to be back online shortly."

A guy had been waiting in line for 2+ hours, and was trading in Bravely Default in order to be able to afford Ness.
He got up to the front and the guy asked for ID to do the trade-in. His face sunk.
"I I don't have any ID on me".
"I can't do the trade in without ID, it's county rules. Do you have a credit card?
"I do but it'll probably be declined."
"Sorry man!"
After two hours waiting!
I swiped my card instead and paid for his Amiibo.

It will show up at other retailers.

Why does everyone keep adding an extra S to the Nintendo Entertainment System acronym on here?

This has probably been established in the 8 pages I was away but...
GameStop in store is operating perfectly again.
Just pre-ordered my Ness, was in and out in 15 minutes.
They said they have no indication of stock left, but that orders are going through fine now.
They also told me 6 CST for Online Pre-Orders, but again, grain of salt.
