Not in the US, I don't think anyone has put it up for preorder yet. It's already out in Europe and Japan AFIK.
TRU DID have the bundle up with the green one, but looks like they delisted it already :/

Yup, some gamestop employee in Augsburg, Germany tried to sell me all three Yoshi for 100 euros.
yup, got my preorder in for that

How rare is ness? I've been out of the amiibo scene for awhile, but I just walked into gamestop and they had one on the shelf.
I'm getting him either way but just curious how lucky I just got today.

recently restocked so not as rare as when it came out. it's especially plentiful in Asia atm

Thanks, not as lucky as I originally thought than but I'm still stoked to add him to my collection. I barely missed him during the gamestop web in-store fiasco so it also feels good to make up for that.
Andddd I just realized gamestop put their large-ass sticker on the front of the amiibo box. That might explain it still being on the shelve lol. Oh well, I was planning to open him anyways.
I'm glad I held my ground and didn't get suckered into paying $40-50 for him on eBay during the GS fiasco.

I guess it's a good thing I'm not interested in the Skylanders amiibo. This is ridiculous.Skylanders Superchargers Dark Edition Starter Pack for Wii with Dark Hammer Slam Bowser hybrid-amiibo will be exclusive to Toys R Us in the US.

She's gonna look so good next to Peach, Rosalina, Zelda, Lucina, WFT and ZSS
I set my alarm already
Me too, every 15 minutes from 4pm until 5:00
Nintendo is for the pill.
She'll be available so everyone on GAF can get one up until I'm on break at work, check to see if there's any left and find out there's none.
Yep. Sounds accurate.

amazon italy can fuck off, why they so cheap with them amiibos and not wanting to ship them to the US? i hope they choke on them. also just checked if amazon france had olimar, and still no dice, also they ran out of dr. marios cmonnnn stahp france, get them amiibos so i can order them all in 1 bulk

First my supervisor tells me nothing much is going on at my work at the end of the week and to take Thursday and Friday off. I had previously been scheduled to work during the Palutena event. So this feels meant to be, and I'll be ready tomorrow to go for one.
Then today I'm just randomly browsing in my local Shopko store (basically K-Mart but I'm pretty sure it's only in certain states). This store has never stocked amiibos before. Not any. So imagine my surprise when I see they have finally put up a tiny amiibo section, featuring.... Mario, Link, Yoshi, Pikachu, Zelda, Bowser ....and CHARIZARD! I don't think he's super rare or anything, but I not only didn't have one, I'd never even seen one in person before (that's including in stock online for MRSP).
I can't remember the last time I actually found an amiibo I didn't have on a store shelf for retail price!

And we finally have a good chance at them!
As for Dark Pit... erm anyone going with a buddy by chance and able to get another? :/

Skylanders Dark Edition for the Wii (TRU exclusive, $99) now available to preorder.
Comes with Dark Hammer Slam Bowser and the Dark Clown Cruiser. Note that the TRU tweet didn't mean there will be a Dark Bowser single pack--this is it.
Yo dawg, I heard you like exclusive amiibo, so I put the rare Wii Dark Pack exclusively at TRU so you can variant while you variant

Grabbed a few more today. Got Bowser Jr, Little Mac and Ness and a Mario from the SMB set for my nephew. Even as a stand less amiibo Little Mac looks horrible next to all the roundier, cartoonier characters that I have. Not too big on the human ones. Also have Lucina and she looks terrible. Could have stood to be a bit bigger but they're limited to fitting on the disc. My good sense tells me to avoid completing the Fire Emblem set but of course that isn't going to happen.
It's kind of funny how easy it is to find everything here. Only one I haven't seen in stock anywhere is Diddy Kong. Oh and Mario now, really should have grabbed that one.

I am so happy that I could care less about skylander stuff. Even the Amiibo crossovers. Bowser's head on some figure that looks like its from something else has no appeal to me.

I feel really guilty that I'm not coming home to America with 7 amiibo in my bag (just found the villager yesterday). My brother told me that he had bought a little Mac so now we have two. If I was to sell one so my mom doesn't kill me for these amiibo, where would I go?

My local target has literally hundreds of amiibos right now. Almost fell over when I saw that wall the other day. Would post a pic but on my phone.

The TRU-exclusive Skylanders Superchargers Dark Edition Starter Pack for Wii is up on ToysRUs.com for $99.99.
It's pricey but it's looking like it'll be the only way to get the Dark Hammer Slam Bowser hybrid-amiibo:

Question: Olimar is up for sale on Amazon.fr for a bit over what he retails for, and is selling from a vendor called "Base." Are they generally trustworthy? Seems like it, and they ship to the US, but I thought I'd probe for any anecdotal evidence first.
EDIT: Scratch that, snagged it somewhere else.

Is there a difference with Gamestop's shipping options for Pre-Orders? I forgot what they did when I ordered Megaman from them. Do they deliver Pre-Orders by the release date no matter what shipping option you pick? My order is below $25 so I can't use the free shipping option. Wondering if there's a difference.

Dark versions are bleh anyway. Regular is fine.
No real difference from my experience. I always choose the cheapest and they either arrived early or a bit later. The more expensive shipping options aren't worth it.
