New Target amiibo memo


Robin and Lucina are going to be unicorns if there was ever any doubt. And no replenishes. Shocking I tell you!

"Characters will likely sold out the day of the release. They will not be replenished."

Welp, there goes my 1% of hope of stock improving for amiibo in america. 29th will be truly like black friday but with 95% more salt and disaster and rage... and so on until something seriously bad happen like an accident or a fight or something. Hope you're happy NoA.

They are. Well Jiggly anyway. Though you know they will go fast.

Depends on how many Jiggypuff's they have at each store, some stores might have more than others..will be happy with just Jigglypuff and Silver Mario, since TRU opens here at 10am I can hop on the bus and get the rest

Well the good news is (if you can call it that), outside of Robin and Lucina it seems like many stores are getting a good amount of stock to last the day. Even Greninja and Jiggly. So if you can make it to a store that morning your chances are pretty darn good. If not, then good luck.

Sorry, I was referring to Jiggly being sold online on the 29th.

Man, I'm just waiting to hear about someone bringing a gun to one of these lineups. With the way these waves are getting worse and worse, it feels like that may happen anytime now.

Now I understand why NoA hasn't promoted or mentioned something about wave 4 amiibo on their social network accounts... like nothing at all actually! They already know how badly things are going to get with amiibo this friday so they prefer to stay silent about it. Sighh

Nooooo omfg. That's actually what I'm fearing the most at this point! :S Been reading stuff of people punching walls at stores when they can't find the amiibo they were looking for and stuff...

They usually promote them days after stock have come and gone.

Well it probably hasn't happened because before this wave things weren't all that bad if you preordered, and you had plenty of time to. Well that and the sleaziest of people have been able to get their hands on them by cheating the system (using more than one account online, bringing people with them to stand in lines).

But yeah this wave is by far the worst (limited and quickly sold out) and people are likely going to be more desperate. Some of these things can be sold for $50 a pop and that's needed money for some people. That last wave had stories of fights in stores so I'm a bit afraid for what this wave and future waves will bring.

I made some space for my Amiibo yesterday since I'll be getting more when Wave 4 arrives and I have yet to get plenty of the common ones. It still needs some cleaning but it'll do for now since there's enough space for at least 60 more of them in their package.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Moved my stuff around and final made a decent set up for them. I plan on opening the back row at some point. Probably when I actually have all the ones I want. Evangelions had to sneak into the pic.

New Target amiibo memo


Robin and Lucina are going to be unicorns if there was ever any doubt. And no replenishes. Shocking I tell you!

Reddit seems to believe that it is a limit of two amiibos total per customer. Circular ad says one thing. Memo says another. Who knows what is going to happen next friday.

I was planning on getting Jigglypuff, Silver Mario, Lucina, and Robin but now it looks like I'm going to have to make tough decisions.

Nobody knows who to believe in this amiibo life!

An SFM video, probably made with the models from Brawl.

Well when I leave my job at Walmart Friday morning at 7 looks like I have to drive across the street and hang out till they open.

My luck will be that its a low volume store though.

Rumor has it Nintendo is now enforcing a 1 character per customer rule in the UK.

http://nintendoeverything.com/rumor-nintendo-now-enforcing-1-amiibo-character-per-customer-rule-in-the-uk/

I wonder if they'll stop imports next.

If they stop imports I will 3D print my own Diggeh Salt and eat it

Can we 3d print amiibos?!

I'll 3D print a Diggehmiibo and sell it to everyone for $94889389438439483 with $938948943894389 Diggeh Tax!

You can buy as many as you want for $95828338382333872 each!

 

[The12thGripper]

Target is limiting 2 Amiibo TOTAL per customer? Oh God... things are going to get ugly in the US Amiibo war.

They did this when Wave 3 came out, this isn't news. I will be at my local Target on the 29th if I can't get a Silver Mario pre-order in, they open the earliest.

 

[Armaly]

Hopefully they actually ship it before release date.

Anyone have their Charizard be $12.98 instead of $12.99?

 

[gabrielt16]

I went to GS and asked if the amiibos would actually be in store on the 29th and cashier told me maybe. If not try Saturday. If by Saturday they aren't there try Tuesday.

:/

 

[Amiibro]

Is that picture of your web in store order? Is there any way to check the status of mine? I ordered the bundles of Amiibo at the store

 

[AgentOtaku]

Just to doublecheck, Amazon never listed the Splatoon 3-Pack for preorder yet, right?

 

[Sushigod7]

It is. I used this.

okay cool, thanks!

Oh, I'm not from the US and I entered the Amiibo game after Wave 3 arrived so I'm out of the loop when it comes to earlier stuff. Well I just hope people can get what they want and don't get screwed over.

 

[XpopcornX]

Wasnt the Shulk restock that GameStop opened preorders for in February suppose to be sent by now?

 

[SaviourMK2]

WAIT, so Target is limiting me to two amiibos?
Meaning I have to choose between SIlver Mario, Jigglypuff and Lucina?

When it says won't be replenished, what exactly does that mean? That can't mean that they won't ever get more in, right?

 

[SaviourMK2]

It means they're not bothering after the initial release. While some stores get magic restocks, target says "fuckit"

 

[Shauni]

It means they're not bothering after the initial release. While some stores get magic restocks, target says "fuckit"

So that means they won't get anymore of any of these characters from Wave 4 ever?

 

[atomsk]

All I know is they better ship my Ness

I don't exactly have faith in GS to not fuck this up.

Why? I've gotten most of my amiibos from them via pre-order and I've yet to have an issue.

 

[Frogstep]

I finally went ahead and ordered a Villager off Amazon. With Prime it came to around 26-ish, I think, and should arrive the 27th.

I also stumbled upon that $24 Mac on there and I think that's what I'll be ordering next week too.

 

[BatDan]

"Hey Intelligent Systems, how's that new game looking?"
"Great! It's a turn based strategy game that's more like Valkyria Chronicles. Instead of anime people, we'll have comic book Steampunk, and the characters are based on stories (except for Abe Lincoln)."
"Cool. Say we've got these new amiibo things we want to sell. Could you put support in the game?"
"Sure. Let me see the list" *looks at list* "Four Fire Emblem characters. We could put them in the game if you use them. There will be plenty of them for sale right?"
"... Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.... just keep at it"
"I can't wait for this to sell in Japan"

Man, I'm just waiting to hear about someone bringing a gun to one of these lineups. With the way these waves are getting worse and worse, it feels like that may happen anytime now.

The first instance of someone doing that, it hits mainstream news, and none of us will ever find any amiibo afterwards because all the sleazy people will jump at a chance to buy up stuff and sell it on eBay thinking it's their ticket to riches.

So...I really hope no one does that. Plus you know, violence is bad because it's a toy after all.

So that means they won't get anymore of any of these characters from Wave 4 ever?

To me it seems that Target never had a lot of shelf-space for amiibo, and none of wave 4 seem to really be anything that is going to see a ton of stock in the first place. Besides the Splatoon characters being in mass supply?

 

[je_ssi e]

Thought I'd check on my order.
My Play-Asia Jiggly is getting prepared.. apparently.

Target never even stocked most of wave 3.
