My orders can no longer be cancelled from BBY. Wave 4 non-exlusives secured? Now to get jiggles and maybe silver mario on Friday...

So, I still need to secure all three store exclusives on Friday. What do you guys think the best plan/approach for that is? I'm thinking I'll call Gamestop tomorrow and see if I can figure out if they'll have any (and if so roughly how many) Ness, and prioritize that, and then if that works out hope that Toys R Us and/or Target stock can last long enough after the initial rush to have some left when I finish up with GS. And of course trying to keep up online the whole time, which I'm hoping will at least take care of Jiggly if I keep on it and get lucky.
Not looking forward to this, though.

Yes, they will. These two are going to be pretty rare it shouldn't be too hard to trade honestly. I''ll probably end up doing the same since I doubt yesasia will come through in July.
Perfect gif response lol

Got my card reset so I guess Greninja is a go.
Guess I get to go through this again when I have to pay Tenso to ship to me.

Popped into my local Gamestop and he said they would have a few for in-store but not a lot. Not sure if that's standard or not, though, and I'm sure they'll be gone in a flash.

Yeah, it's really unfortunate. I changed my payment method for my amiibo orders from Best Buy today. I don't know why TRU can't do the same.
Offer still stands? Wait aren't you in Central FL? If so, can you PM me where you found them?

The same could be said about Target. We should all contact them and tell them if they ever wish to compete with amazon they would be smart to implement a way of updating payment information for orders.
Still salty about Target cancelling my two jigglypuffs for the same reason... Was looking forward to playing splatoon and not have to stress about amiibo this friday.

Amazon lets you change after a payment fails too. It's lazy to not let you change.
Amazon is amazing with payments. Cancel at will before it ships. Change payment, shipping speed, billing. Add gift cards to your order any time you have them, and like you said, they'll notify you several times and give you some time if a payment fails before canceling.
Wish others offered these services. Should be standard.
Have anyones Gamestop Instore orders shipped yet?
Don't think so, not heard of any that has anyway. I did the free shipping option on mine, so I'm not expecting it to ship until the day of, but I don't know about others who chose day-of shipping.

I called Best Buy and they changed it for me. Both cards show up on the order details page though.

No chance until I get mine but after that, the rumor is 2-5 per store.

When my Majora's Mask n3DS XL orginal payment method failed during the preparing order process, Best Buy sent me an email with a link to provide new payment information.
Target and TRU are always the last place I go for amiibo. I wish they would do more to keep their customers happy.

My Splatoon 3-pack from Best Buy is currently on "Preparing Order" while my Lucina from WalMart shipped. If Best Buy doesn't screw me over like they did with my WFT order that never actually appeared, I'll consider Wave 4 a success!

Mine is still on payment validated and my card has a pending charge. You think I should expect it to ship tomorrow?
Edit: Order status says status not available...should I be worried?
My Best Buy order is "preparing for shipment" and I was already charged for the 5 amiibo I preordered (aka all the non-retailer exclusive ones). It's happening! Now I just have to go to Target at 7:30am on Friday and Toys R Us at 9am and I'll be all good.
Ness, unfortunately, will have to wait as my YesAsia order for him won't be shipped until July/August. And the GameStop near me said that they'll only get in 1-2.

Walmart shipped 1 of my 2 Robins!
No, that basically means they're preparing to prepare your order.

Best Buy has charged me for the Splatoon 3-pack. That's on the way now. Oh yeah!
4/12 of this batch. Good thing that July is sparse, giving ample time for catching up.
I saw a picture on Twitter of a Gamestop that's listing their stock for Friday. One single Ness, zero Robin & Lucinas (and Charizard but I feel that will be slightly common), yet they have SEVEN Silver Marios. I'm hoping this is just one Gamestop and not an overall thing.

Both Walmarts I went to today had a bunch of Charizards and Pac-mans out on display. Both looked pretty cool.

Most retailers confirmed they will have splatoon 3 pack in stock. Limited quanities of course so get there early.
Might just be that one location. I went in earlier today to check the situation out & they said ONE Robin & Lucina each would arrive, & they weren't even pre-orders. I don't really feel like going to the end of town when they open, but if I don't have luck with my Meijer or Target, I might just have to do that.
Oh shit guess who's getting their Thursday. Any idea which store I have the best chance with?
Went to check my Gamestop order and it just says open. Yeah, with Value shipping I guess it won't ship until Friday. Sucks, but I can wait.
Que the people thinking Wario and Chaizard will be unicorn because of this.

Wonder if I'm partially fucked. Had two seperate orders from Best Buy, one where I fired on Lucina immediately by herself and one where I paired off Charizard and Pac.
So far only got a ship notification for the latter.
Would have vastly prefered the former. Ruh roh shaggy?

It's so fucking stupid that the stock issue is still like this after all these waves. So glad I'm fucking out after ness. Nintendo is never going to get this shit right.
Lol at splatoon stock.
Here is the photo
I am so happy Nintendo supplied Gamestop with sooooo many Ness for their exclusive release! Thanks Nintendo...
Lol I expect a fist fight at that gs.

There will be much more than fists when poor amiibros across the nation realize they can't get a Ness after waiting outside GS all night.
