Just got back from Nintendo World. Got my Jiggly Puff. Just missing Ness now. Hopefully GameStop or Nintendo restocks him somehow.
As part of our ritual when we go down there, my friend and I went to the Best Buy next to the Nintendo World and we found two Meta Knights! So we picked that up as well! All in all a good day!
I have some good figures to trade for a Ness if it comes down to it.

got a metaknight yesterday from a local best buy...only one they had...box is a little bent, and the paintjob is terrible, but its better than nothing...
looks like i'll have a Jiggly, a Robin, and a Japanese Meta Knight available for trade soon...i'm looking for a Little Mac, a Ness & a Greninja....sound doable?

I wouldnt say he is common, but I dont believe he is straight worth a Robin and definitely not a Ness.
Not remotely common but that trade probably won't go.

The Squid only comes in the Splatoon 3 pack in NA region. Unless you are looking for other region or loose.
ordered a Charizard from Walmart.com for store pickup in Lucas, TX...showed up and they brought out a Bowser...said they didn't have it so they just substituted it...wtf?
the lady got a weird look when she looked up my order...after she brought it out she explained why...someone else earlier in the day had tried to also pick up a Charizard and had the same thing happen...and it is still showing up as in stock for the store on Walmart.com...so just beware to anyone in the area...don't waste your time...

Is he a copy/paste of Ness?? Or he would have different Smash attacks and stuff? Thank.
Also, I'm sure his amiibo iteration is gonna be moar difficult to get than Ness.
Well darn. I went in to GS today because they were suppose to get their shipment of a few new amiibo, including Shulk, and.........nothing.
He checked the box that was suppose to have Shulk & a Silver Mario, but he got less items than he was told they were getting (he said it's been happening for a while where either they get less than expected or completely different/extra items). Looked through the rest of the boxes and nothing.
Huge bummer since I was trying to get him for my friend. Target still didn't get any more shipments in as well, & Walmart was exactly the same as the previous months, despite the fact when I was walking in, they had a thing advertising Splatoon + the amiibo.

...why
Feels like it at this rate.
Also you'd think for how hard Nintendo has been pushing Splatoon via marketing, they'd make the amiibo for them a BIT easier to find/have more of them made....

You'd probably have a heart attack if you saw my shelf then. Maybe I'll take a pic later. haha. It's a mess.
Has any other wave been discontinued yet? I'm sure there will be more available in the future. Just look at the previous waves, I see more them available all the time.

We got some in stock notification today, didn't we? And Pac Man keeps going up. Actually, I might want a second Pac to open...
Reddit has been reporting Meta Knight stock at Best Buys across the country since yesterday. Pac is still available at several retailers in the US.

Sorry Adan I'm not aware of his moveset in Smash.
Oh myyy. I'm ready! Looking forward for the pic hah.
No worries
I actually think he has different movesets. At least on Brawl they were so I'm sure it will be the same case here.darkjedi187

Well I would like to trade Meta Knight for either Pit or Rosalina.

My Greninja from Zavvi got cancelled. Very happy I walked to TRU on launch day. They sent me a 10% off code that expires next month as an apology but I don't plan on buying anything from them again. If anyone wants it, please message me.

Done!
What kind of shelf is that?
Ikea Deltolfs with Azar plastic risers (amazon for the Azar).
In case anyone wanted to be on the lookout for Diggeh in real life, the police released these photos after he was caught "playing with his yoshi" in public.
We just ask that anyone report him if he does it again

Amiibo
I have a hookup here in ATL and am going to get a GAFer a Ness amiibo in a few mins:
Actual cost, shipping not included:
Silver Mario $25
Wario $25
Shulk $30
Pacman $20
Greninja $40
Jigglypuff $40
I'm leaving in a very short while to get the Ness and only can make one trip at the moment. So, if you want one of these hit me up *right now* and I'll hook you up for free (as in, I won't be making any money on this deal, you pay the above price + actual shipping).

Unreal. I have been stalking my Best Buy store every day this week, literally calling and asking every single day this week if they had MetaKnight in, every day they said in transit, but to call Friday.
I don't trust them so I drive in Friday. They tell me "It shows we have 8 in, but nobody can find them, we are still unloading the truck, so go ahead and right down your name and number and we'll give you a call if/when we find them"
Sure enough I just called back, asked if they found them only to find out that "They had them earlier in the day, but they are sold out now."
You've got to be freaking kidding me. I am so irritated right now.

Same thing happened to me. Lady said to keep calling so I did, turns out they had come in and she just didn't to disappoint me.

I'll go check at mine around the corner. If they have one I'll get it and sent it to you at cost.

Please do not discuss selling in this thread. Take it to the help thread if you want to actually help at reasonable prices (come on, you didn't pay $40 for a single Greninja or Jigglypuff) or the BST thread if you want a profit.
This has been known to happen with Best Buy long before Amiibo were thought of. They did this with my Wii U Gamecube Adapter when Smash4 came out. Some person walked in randomly and bought my preorder. I called customer service and they gave me $5 gift certificate for their screw up.
uh oh guys cops here!
Ok. Sorry. I didn't know. I don't know if those are considered reasonable prices (?), I just know some of these are hard-to-find so I wanted to help GAFers if I could at the listed prices from the guy here that I'm getting Ness from for another GAFer. Thank you. Sorry about that! (FWIW I tried to be clear in my original post that I wouldn't be making any money, so profit is not of interest to me here, was just trying to be helpful.)

That's awfully nice of you! I mean if you happen to be swinging by anyway and see one, I'll happily pay you for it, but don't go out of your way, I'm more mad at the total lack of customer service, than I am at missing the Amiibo, especially since they knew these were going to be a hot commodity.
And honestly, I get it to an extent, they probably don't understand it so they don't care, and its not like I had it pre-ordered or anything, but damn, don't tell you have it, make the effort to let me know you'll reach out to me when you find them, and then just completely blow it off.
Part of me wants to post there & see if anyone is willing to just sell (not trade) a Splatoon 3-Pack & maybe a Robin & Lucina as well, but how much inflation is there for just buying certain amiibo from the current wave?
My funds are rather low, so I can barely afford to pay twice the amount for one right now. Hell, I don't know if I want to spend more than $40 on the Splatoon pack considering I can barely afford getting it for MSRP.
