Does Best Buy put through an authorization charge for all online pre-orders? Games, Amiibo, etc as well?

I underestimated the shipping forwarding charges from tenso and such. I backed out and cancelled my order for the three Splatoon amiibos.
Can you preorder these with an american amazon account?

I think you have to register again, but you can use the same e-mail and password.
Curious how much they were charging and at what speed? (Have wave 4 preordered on zon.jp but didn't dig into tenso forwarding yet.)
Man, it's been a crazy day. Luckily, I managed to order everything today (being at work and on my phone proved to be a blessing for jigglypuff lol) and filled in the empty spots in my current collection (got the 3 commons I was missing for a good price from Target and found someone with the only rare I was missing <3). I feel like I've probably used all my amiibo luck for this wave, but I hope I manage to snag greninja. Honestly, tho, as lucky as I've been today, idk how much more of this I can handle. Still so many left to go and it only gets worse as time goes on... I think, at this point, it's the community that is keeping me going more than anything. lol

The first poster for the Amiibo Wars sequel just came out...
What goes up at 4?
Well possibly Greninja and *maybe* all of Wave 4.

Just stumbled onto an apparent restock of Toad on Amazon for those who missed out!

Oops, didn't see this was mentioned once already. My bad!

Getting up at 4 for a maybe is asking a lot, IMO.
I'll be just getting off work at almost that time so I will see if it shows at 7.
Well it's more just seeing who else will be up at the time
Normally I don't get up early for these things, but I got really screwed over by GS today with the order...I want the Lucina amiibo, but if I don't get it at least I'll have this.
comes out this month.
The thing I've been looking forward to for 4 months now. It also looks better than the amiibo. Wish they did a better job on the face and color for her amiibo
You know seeing this reminds me of Yu-Gi-Oh! Know like when Pegasus traps souls into cards (well he wasn't the only one but he did do that). Yeah that kind of thing. I was tempted to doodle a comic for this but I'm on spring break... and therefore I am lazy. So instead someone else can do it but here's how I imagine it.
Oh and I'm using Horizon for this story since I know he loves Lucina and I've already used him enough for jokes so I'm sure he won't mind =P
Horizon: Yes! Lucina pre-order. Now to pay! Wait... what's this? Pay with soul? Must be a typo. Oh well *clicks and blacks out*
(Horizon wakes up and sees amiibos the same size of him)
Horizon: WTF? LIFE SIZED AMIIBOS?! Wait is that a TV? And that's a mirror. WHAT? I'M A LUCINA AMIIBO?!?!
(Meanwhile at Nintendo HQ)
Rosalina: It seems another victim has fallen for our trap Mr. Iwata.
Iwata: Good... good. All is going according to plan. The world would never suspect you to have the millennium eye and using its powers to take people's souls and to trap them into amiibos. Amiibos learning to fight from NFC? (laughs) What a ridiculous thing people believe in. No... those are human souls fighting for their lives!
And that is the story of why Rosalina has a bang covering her eyes.
Audience: IT IS NOT!
Fine. It's the story of why amiibos are limited in quantities. Speaking of which... would you like to pre-order? Just click this button
the scalper complaining is getting kind of played out I feel.
Not that you don't have a right to feel upset that you missed Jigglypuff (just as an example -- and by the way, so did I and now I'll probably need to buy it off of ebay!), but secondary markets existing for items that are undersupplied and overdemanded are just a natural force of nature. Yeah, it's unfortunate that a squeezed supply meant you missed your chance to get it at retail price, but getting mad about it feels sort of like getting mad at the clouds for raining on your picnic. It's just a force of nature, a fact of life. You missed out; I missed out. Bummer, move on!

So.. you are now an amiibo and can interact with Rosalina, Lucina, Paulatena, Peach, Samus and all the others...
Hmmmm...

Those asking for source on TRU at 7 a.m. EST: http://www.polygon.com/2015/4/2/8334935/amiibo-pre-orders-reservations-gamestop-target-toys-r-us
All of wave 4. No word on splatoon.

Yes, but wouldn't they have other people's souls inside of them too? You may be interacting with a Rosalina amiibo, but inside it's a scalper who smells of rotten eggs...or worse...could be he-who-shall-not-be-named. With the number of Rosalina's he's picked up...

Someone on reddit is now saying TRU will be up within 3 hours or less...and is asking for a mod verification...may be legit or may be bs...

Screw this out of wave 4 all I want is pacman wario ness, and the splatoon triple pack. Looks like ima have to import a ness like I had to do shulk and ike ; ;
Some on there are saying the orders will be up at midnight, so maybe in 50 mins?

That would be a pretty hilarious "fuck you" to all of the folks who already went to bed and planned on waking up around 7 AM EST.
Spread mass rumor preorders go up between 7-9...people hoping for preorders go to sleep early to be awake on time...preorders go up even earlier than that...chaos ensues
well who needs sleep right?

I was hearing that Europe got wave 5 preorders today and sold out. Is this true? Also does anyone know if the Yarn Yoshi amiibo has pre orders in any part of the world? I know NA doesn't

Completely agree...if there is a chance he is right I might stay up...I'm not sure...

I was just about to go to sleep to wake up at 7. Why do these people play with our emotions.
