So Nintendo blames retailers. Retailers blame Nintendo.

Great.

How much is Play-asia shipping to the US?

Mine was like 17 for 2 figures.
Went up to 30 if I wanted to add dedede, so I passed...

Yeah that totally explains why stores aren't even getting enough to cover their pre-orders random Nintendo service agent.

 

[Zonic]

Why is wave 5 so small with only two characters?

My guess is since Lucas is out by June & Wave 5 is July, maybe Mewtwo & Lucas will come out as well.

.......also maybe possibly the chance of Falco, Duck Hunt, ROB, &/or Mr. Game & Watch still haven't been announced.

How much is Play-asia shipping to the US?

My preorder for Pit ($20) cost $8 to ship to California when I placed the order this morning.

 

[ZeroCDR]

If retailers are the problem, Nintendo should open up orders on their website and fulfill these orders directly from the manufacturer.

But instead, please fly to NYC and camp overnight at Nintendo World where we suddenly have a few hundred rare Amiibos.

Just made this during class. Adapted from a SMBC from earlier this week

At this point I fully believe that Nintendo are diablocal genius planners and we're truly the idiots.

depends on size, weight and your exact location. also depends on which carrier you choose. they tell you during the checkout

 

[Jawmuncher]

So which Mod is into amiibos? I appreciate their watch.

hmm It says 8.90, but it might be worth it for a Japaneses Shulk that I wont open

edit: I went ahead and got it, not too bad better then Ebay prices plus its from Japan

Community is great news. Less exposure to scalpers!

Can you smell the graveyard? I don't wanna be close to those old Halo threads mommy!

Can someone post a link to the play-asia amiibo? when i search their site i only find the previous amiibo, no pre-orders for new stuff that I can buy...

Yea their search doesn't bring much up for me either. I was hoping to find a Splatoon Girl there.

I mean, he shouldn't have BSed a customer to be real.
I've worked in customer service most of my life, and I've always been held responsible for what I tell people be it in person, over the phone, or online.

that is amazing.

Following this Amiibo stuff is more interesting than any TV show.

 

[LiK]

Amiibos are making me see things. lol

 

[shandy706]

This has become one of the most entertaining threads I've ever been in.

 

[Draxal]

Not going to lie that tweet made my day.

 

[robot]

I would pay for a custom made Esteban amiibo. Maybe. Probably not.

 

[PorygonVandal]

Wait guys, what happened and who is Esteban?

Look here

 

[shandy706]

Can I pre-order Esteban?

 

[Draxal]

I would pay for a custom made Esteban amiibo. Maybe. Probably not.

I'd buy an official one. Wouldn't scalp it though.

 

[//ARCANUM]

damn, can't afford those play asia prices. with shipping it comes to almost 30 per amiibo. i think i'll just hold off and pay scalpers that much down the line if it comes to it

That was my internal debate also, but they're still going for 40+ scalping

what the hell is esteban? I feel like I missed something.

 

[Hyrule Warrior]

I know he's probably not rare anymore, I remember amazon got restocked for a while, but I found a Toad in a gamestop today, and I'm happy to have him ^_^

He just looks so damn happy lol

 

[Diggeh]

We did it, gang! One million views! Best OT is Best OT!

Spoiler

It's my personal canon that the mods were jealous and moved us to Community before we got to a million.

 

[weevles]

For me, shipping is so high I'm looking at almost 2.5x retail prices, but still less than scalpers today. Do we know for sure if there's no more restocks for the US yet?
