Thats crazy. I got the same exact order from Amazon.it and its 55 bucks.

I can't find Olimar on Italy. Is it gone?

Anywhere cheaper than UK, but I rather just get them now and avoid the drama that is September. Besides, every time I look, they are sold out already before I even get a chance to put them in a cart.

Edit: as I type this, amazon.jp becomes available lol

 

[The12thGripper]

Where'd you find them? I've searched countless times and never see them.

Olimar
Bowser Jr.
Dr. Mario

They've been up for a while from what I hear so I'd hurry if I were you.

Got 'em! Thank you very much for the links.

Great, preordered and canceled my UK preorders. The exchange rate kills it for me with UK.

Any update from Amazon today?

 

[1up]

Any update from Amazon today?

They said the announcement will show up on https://twitter.com/amazongames before reddit.

 

[The12thGripper]

Any update from Amazon today?

Not yet, but keep checking here for the announcement.

EDIT: damn, ninja'd

 

[backlot]

Amazon's announcement sure is special...

 

[spindashing]

On the fence since all the Palutenas I've seen look like ass...

 

[Thoraxes]

Fuuuuuck

The lack of a B&M presence is going to hurt.

 

[LiK]

The one I got from EU is pretty nice.

 

[Zonic]

PALUTENA IS AMAZON EXCLUSIVE UUUUGGGGGHHHHHH

 

[Hero]

Ughhhhhhhhh

 

[Booker.DeWitt]

FUUUUU

that shit will sold out in seconds, just like robin and lucina. GOD DAMN IT>

 

[ramoisdead]

Great more exclusivity crap. Thanks Amazon for that great announcement.

 

[Thoraxes]

FUUUUU

that shit will sold out in seconds, just like robin and lucina. GOD DAMN IT>

While I'm going to automatically assume the worst, I'll have a little faith in them having ample stock since it's an exclusive.

And hopefully limiting people to 1 per person.

 

[Zonic]

Watch as Wave 5 gets FIVE exclusives now that Amazon has entered the scene. Can't wait to refresh to only have it not appear for me and others, while actually appearing for different people like Lucina & Robin.

 

[Jeff Vader]

Yay more exclusives! (said no one ever)

 

[ZeroCDR]

Considering there are no B&M to send stock to, Palutena should be plentiful and easy to get, and I assume they will enforce a one per customer rule.

 

[Zonic]

Seems Dark Pit will be well stocked as it seems each one is getting about 100 stock.

https://twitter.com/AmiiboNews/status/621016851988885505

Also Palutena to be sold on 24th, more info on 22nd.

 

[bigkrev]

If something is going to be exclusive, i'm glad that it's Amazon over any other place. They won't fuck around, they won't cancel orders, and shipping is quick and free.

And yeah, apart from Dr Mario and MAYBE Gannondorf, all the remaining SSB line figures are going to be retailer exclusives.

 

[Jawmuncher]

So Amazon is getting Palutena as their exclusive. Quite the surprise.

 

[TheSlySoul]

So Amazon is getting Palutena as their exclusive. Quite the surprise.

That makes KI the rarest Amiibo franchise. 2 exclusives and 1 all-stores but very limited.

 

[ZeroCDR]

I never would have guessed considering the rocky relationship, but they have started selling New 3DS XL hardware. Hopefully they patched things up for NX!

 

[Zonic]

Bit more info: https://twitter.com/AmiiboAlerts/status/621020024292012032

1 per customer, EXACT TIME will be announced, hoping to be well-stocked & last a decent amount of time (i.e. more then 5 minutes).

 

[Velcro Fly]

Man people are going to rage unless they get a shit ton of them. I don't even want to go on reddit to see what they think.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Got Dedede with the money from my Ness and picked up a Kirby for Iwata's sake. Kirby's surprisingly low quality, Dedede is great!

 

[Maverick T51]

Wait, so that means both july amiibo are exclusive right? Does this mean that september will be the same thing, all figures except one or two will be exclusive? Cause that's just sad

 

[shuraiya]

They were wise to delay the announcement.

 

[O.v.e.rlord]

Holy shit to Palutean's exclusive deal!

 

[MillionStabs]

Palutena probably going up tomorrow for Prime day

 

[LiK]

Pretty annoying that they continue to do retailer exclusives for NA. Makes importing so much better. I'm glad I don't care about the stupid packaging.

Palutena probably going up tomorrow for Prime day

Nope, July 24

 

[Thoraxes]

Thank you Amazon.de. ZSS and Ganondorf look amazing in particular.

 

[Hero Prinny]

you guys bitch about amazon but who has handled amiibos the best so far online? thats right, amazon. i agree that exclusivity sucks but at the very least the ones who got the exclusive deal for her is a competent company that isn't going to put it up to pre order at 3 or 4 am est

Amazon tried hard but even Lucina and Robin disappeared instantly for most. I was lucky to get Lucina but Robin never even showed up on their site for me. Since this is exclusive, I'm expecting it to disappear in an instant too.

They seem confident that this will be their biggest stock ever. Let's hope everyone gets a shot.

Their goal is 15 minutes:

4) We learned from wave 4 that the time "windows" aren't much different from just announcing a time, so I think that's what we'll be doing.
Also, we have a lot more stock than we've had of any other amiibo yet. I know we'll end up selling out, but I think it'll be closer to the Splatoon 3-pack or Charizard or something rather than Lucina/Robin in terms of how long they're available (~15 mins after available). If you show up on time, you should be able to get one.

Here's hoping.

 

[Da Fish]

lol so we have a in store only exclusive and a online only exclusive and that's it folks. Just when I think Nintendo of America can't outdo themselves, they find a way.

 

[dankir]

Their goal is 15 minutes:

That's sad, hilarious and relieving all at the same time.

"Don't worry guys. If you are online for a 15 minute window at some time on a random summer day you will (probably) get the amiibo you want."

"Yay! Such a huge improvement!"

 

[MADGAME]

What a shit-show the NA Amiibo Smash line has been.

 

[Velcro Fly]

It will be July 24

They will say the time so it's not like preorders for various other places that go up randomly in the middle of the night.

It will be during normal business hours.

Amazon is basically doing everything they can to not fuck people over. The stock is Nintendo's fault. We must always blame them.

 

[Thoraxes]

Well.

If I get NA ones, I will probably be sharing.

Yeah I give them that, at least.

 

[Nighteater]

So Nintendo and Amazon are on good terms again? That's good to hear would rather get Nintendo hardware from them.

I'm not criticizing Amazon here. They're doing the best they can with what they have.

Its just that a 15 minute window is still just a disgustingly pathetic window that it is crazy that this is considered an improvement.

 

[RobFox64tm]

Can we all just send a mass of e-mails to Amazon expressing concern over shipping damage? They have the worst track record for Amiibos arriving in good condition. (Luckily I'll be off from work that day as the 30th is my last day, so I'm sure I'll be able to get one at least).

Edit: oh, I guess they are going live on the 24th. Oh well, I do have my phone to make orders from.

 

[Maverick T51]

15 minutes? Wow, NA amiibo hunting sucks.
