That's pretty good. Be sure to set an alarm for the Marth release. By the way, target has a tendency to put things up around 3am. So be on the look out. Didn't they have like 38 Greninja? That's pretty good stock.

3am? Is that 3am pacific time or eastern time? Cause on that post from reddit that target guy said that it would be around 8am that it would be put online but I figured I would go online a little bit earlier just in case

Greninja up on beatthebomb now.

After shipping looks to be about $21-22 US if you get two

Thanks! I preordered Yarn Yoshi from them so this will be a good test of their reliability.

 

[Geedorah]

Just got notification that Robin is being shipped from Walmart - but none of the other three from that order are on route.

Strange they are breaking up the packages into so many separate orders, that can't be cost effective.

Saw this on chart on Twitter...



Assuming this info is correct, it seems like Toys R Us is your best shot at most of these, especially the Splatoon 3-pack.

Except there's fewer toys r us stores than the other retailers, pulling more people in.

Even though it seems like TRU is getting a decent amount of stock I think I might just deal with this instead of driving the 60 miles each way to my closest TRU. I took PTO off for Friday, but I think I'll use my time to see what pops up online instead of driving.

 

[Nintendo Playstation]

Wait! Why are you happy about Silver Mario getting delisted? :3

I'm not happy. I said "I'm alive" because I got some sleep after feeling very depressed and now I feel better. 11 hours ago I was contemplating leaving amiibo. Now I feel ready to try again Friday morning.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Why da fuq do Best Buy, TRU, and GameStop all have to open at the same time?

Also, do we know for sure GameStop will have their units at opening time? Don't they usually not get them in until noon the day of, or am I misremembering?

Yeah that's where I'm at. 30 miles to the nearest TRU and then 30 miles back. I'd spend that extra $7-8 on gas alone. Not going to mess with it and don't trust them to put up online orders.

I know rite. Think my plan is to just hang out at a Walmart after I wake up tomorrow (I guess today) and then after midnight go over to wait outside a TRU. TRU looks like it will have the best chance at things and the one near me has a Target and Best Buy in the same shopping center so maybe people who are waiting will be spread out.

Do you have any experience with them? What are they like? I hope my order just gets fulfilled...

So we should be thanking the port strike for causing delays with past waves and giving us the chance to hit multiple retailers at different dates? ;P

 

[rjinaz]

No I just found out about them yesterday when they were selling yarn yoshis for $15. But people on reddit where I found about that sale were saying they are reliable. I'm not too worried. They haven't charged me for any of my orders so worst case they don't ship then I'm not out anything. Also apparently you pay for 4-7 day shipping which is great. Should have Greninja within the next 2 weeks.

 

[iShouldGoPro]

Is TRU getting any Greninjas for in store purchase on the 29th?

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Honestly it was a lot nicer in that specific regard. Granted it didn't end up mattering for me since GameStop never sold Shulk in-store (except abandoned pre-orders 1-2 weeks later) and I was one person too late for Meta Knight...

Which is why I'm super annoyed we still don't know the exact situation for Meta Knight yet. :| If it weren't for him I could blow off Best Buy completely, but noooooooo

 

[Thoraxes]

If you did value shipping, I really wouldn't expect them to ship any earlier than Friday. If you did day-one, I would assume tomorrow. But nothing has been said either way as far as I'm aware.

Ah thanks.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

The only one I'm worried about is Lucina. If Targets are only getting 4-5 as rumored its going to suck.

(Note: I already have a Robin preorder from YesAsia)

 

[Diggeh]

Walmart:
Splatoon triple pack (shipped)

GameStop:
Ness
Charizard
Pacman
Wario

Target:
Jigglypuff(shipped)
Silver Mario

B&H:
Robin
Lucina

Amazon UK
Robin

Just two orders shipped so far. Hopefully those go through tomorrow.

We have to order at so many different stores! Nintendoooooooooo!

 

[Tirod]

Saw this on chart on Twitter...

Looking at that chart, it looks like Toys 'R Us is my best bet for Lucina and Robin, as well as a chance at Greninja (my friend wants him), and an opportunity for the Splatoon 3 Pack.

So I'm looking at a schedule where I go to Disneyland tomorrow, go home and shower, grab coffee, line up outside of the store, hopefully have success, and then go to work at noon.

AMAZON PLEASE SAVE ME. I don't want to be a zombie. ;-;

fellow michigan hunters check the weather reports for your area we are supposed to get storms early friday morning

 

[Nighteater]

Should I avoid the retailers if they are all within walking distance of each other? I feel like I'll see longer lines at the Target there, Best Buy, Toy's R Us, Walmart, Gamestop are all there within a mile... But then I dont want to go to a target in the middle of no where with little to no stock...

Thank god the storms here in dallas finally cleared up.

 

[batfax]

Bleh. Mine still hasn't shipped yet from Wal*Mart, but a friend who got their order in afterwards has. Weird. Hopefully mine goes through before long though since it's a gift.

Man the things I do for amiibo. I check my mail yesterday in the morning after getting home from work, and It seems I missed one of my amiibo deliveries I had coming in because I was sleeping. so what to I do I get out of bed take a two hour round bus trip to the post office fighting off the need to sleep just so I can have my little Mac a day earlier So no I'm at work dying from the lack of sleep but you know what at least I have my precious.
