I just walked up and the people in line told me 12 as well. :-(

Yeah I'm kinda in disbelief. They gotta have more on the way or be overlooking a shipment.

 

[_jnup]

18 people in line at Saugus, MA. Just gave out tickets and still have good amount left.

 

[kirby_fox]

12 huh?

I don't know if I even want to get out of bed. It's dark pit...are scalpers really gonna try to make money on this still? The aftermarket is fairly dead.

Didn't think it'd still be worth it.

 

[Hyrule Warrior]

Got here about 5 minutes ago in Brookfield Wisconsin. 8 people already were here ahead of me. I want the amiibo, but I hate this aspect of it. This drains me so much. I'd love to be sitting home until they open instead of on this concrete ground.

 

[Nighteater]

16th in line with under 2 hours left. Wish me luck gaf

 

[Magwik]

There's like forty people in line
Should have left earlier

 

[Nintendo Playstation]

30 minutes remain. Just arrived, #20.

Life is tough.

Apparently all remaining inventory after 1pm local time will be released to GP, limit THREE per customer.

 

[Beren the Empty-Handed]

Best of luck to all of you.

This is an amiibo I don't give a flying fuck about, so I'm going to happily sit this one out. I'll be trying to unbend my Palutena.

 

[prateeko]

The thirst is too real

 

[LiK]

Apparently all remaining inventory after 1pm local time will be released to GP, limit THREE per customer.

So basically if initial rush doesn't sell out, they really wanna dump all remaining stock ASAP.

 

[Nighteater]

There's a family at the front, a kid with his parents. Better not be a scalper family.

 

[crmetteer]

Yeah I'm kinda in disbelief. They gotta have more on the way or be overlooking a shipment.

Now it sounds like they found the extra shipment. I may be I luck after all!

 

[Nighteater]

Good ole Best buy.

 

[Regiruler]

Got my ticket.

Number 18.

 

[Nintendo Playstation]

"So which one is this? Dark Pit? Don't we already have Pit at home? So this one is black. I could've painted the other one black for you."

Gotta love moms.

Oh you here in line too? The drama here is real lol

 

[dankir]

Got my Dark Pit this morning. I went to my eB at 9:10 AM I was the first one there. They only had 2.

But I have Palutena and Dark Pit, first time since the original wave I got everything on Day 1.

Feels good man.

edit:

 

[crmetteer]

Yup. 3rd from the back of the line

 

[Draconestra]

Fuck. I'm at work and can't visit Best Buy until my lunch break. I might not make it! :<

Worse of all is that I need to get two, one for me and one for my girlfriend.

 

[Draxal]

Just import it and spare yourself the agita.

 

[Scoodlebap]

Wow, doors open and everyone walked to where the amiibos should be and a store rep ran up to say, "amiibos up front"
Then the sprinting started. I don't know if I'm disappointed in the people around me or BB for being this clown shoes this far into the amiibo game. Still got DP, but I hope nobody got hosed.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Well I am in line.
Hopefully Best Buy are not twats.
15th in line, but some are in groups so *shrug*

 

[LiK]

"Mom, please also change the pose to match the real one."

I went to bestbuy in NJ on my break and arrived at 10am on the dot. Must have been 50 people ahead of me. I just left and ordered one from Amazon for 20 bucks.

 

[Nintendo Playstation]

LOL @ everyone bum-rushing the amiibo display only to return to the customer service line empty-handed and disappointed.

Also, there were pieces of masking tape on the back of the amiibo with matching ticket numbers on them to prevent shenanigans. Bravo, Best Buy.

 

[Chucker]

5th in line after the standoff. 43 available.
First person tries to buy 8, crowd boos them.

Nintendo rep was present, gave out SMB30 pins.

Great times!

 

[Majestad]

Is Dark Pit gonna be available online or only at the stores?

 

[friskykillface]

Got there at 10:08 and was in and out in 5 minutes
My bro and I got one each , smooth , no camping is best way


Limit was 1 per customer

 

[TheSlySoul]

Is Dark Pit gonna be available online or only at the stores?

In store at first, no idea for second run.

 

[Korosenai]

If I go to best buy, where do I need to go for a Dark Pit?

 

[GitarooMan]

Got there around 10, sold out, said fuck it and ordered an import. It's basically one of the last ones I want anyway along with ZSS

 

[Majestad]

If I go to best buy, where do I need to go for a Dark Pit?

VG section my dude.

 

[D-Stubbs]

Only five were in line including myself when my Best Buy opened and they had at least 20+ Dark Pits there so got one pretty easily. Not as bad as I thought it be. Only had to wait a half hour in line.

lol, BB learned

 

[1up]

Store only unless they pull some stuff and push it out online today.

Also, why the LINE alerts for Kirby and Samus?

 

[Booker.DeWitt]

my bestbuy got 40, sold allof them already

 

[TheSlySoul]

Best Buy is handing out fliers with SKUS just FYI.
16/18. Close call.

hahaha holy shit really.

i don't think i'd have the fortitude to tip my hand as a scalper in front of a line of people that all want the same thing. that is something you do online when places are too dumb to put a limit on it. I mean even 2 is somewhat less scummy. 8? motherfucker trying to pay his rent this month i guess

 

[Best Nintendo Fan Ever]

Yeah...this is why I import now.

 

[Regiruler]

Is it just me or is dark pit kinda small?

He definitely feels smaller than Light Pit.

 

[Magwik]

He definitely feels smaller than Light Pit.

It only appears that way because he doesn't have the platform that's supposed to make it look like he's flying

 

[Thoraxes]

Good to know my store gets the high stock number. Over 40 avaialabel here.

 

[kewlmyc]

So me walking into a store later today and finding one is probably impossible, huh?

 

[kirby_fox]

I walked in 3 minutes after opening, stood in line for about 5 minutes. Only a couple people behind me and still had ten left.

How I keep walking in at opening without any issues I have no idea.

 

[Gameboy415]

Just got mine at BB in Kildeer, IL.
No line and about 15-20 left up at Customer Service, if anyone else is in the area!

 

[Curler]

I am beyond pissed that the ONE day of the year that I have to be somewhere from 10-1 today... And that's when the Best Buy ticket time-frame is. Tried to get someone else to pick me up one but the "one per FAMILY" rule screwed me on it.
