Support NeoGAF

[goldenpp72]

How have the launches of the last two (Paultena/Dark Pit) gone as far as stock? I've been taking a break until the huge Sept. wave launches since I wasn't interested in those two. Have supply issues improved?

Not so much, the handling has been much better however. Not scalper friendly in comparison to before.

 

[Fourth Storm]

Waiting anxiously for Dark Pitt to go online. Really don't want to support scalpers, but I've got all NA so far...

 

[backlot]

I would have thought that "very soon" would have happened by now.

From /r/amiibo

According to our confidential sources:

• GameStop's 8/8 event will be amiibo related.
• There is a rumor that Pro members will be allowed in to stores an hour early. I am unable to confirm this at this time.

If this is true then I'll be out early near a GS awaiting pre-orders to go up.


Anyway, I missed out on Dark Pit. By the time my ride came, I got to BB too late. Ah well, will wait for restock.

I would have thought that "very soon" would have happened by now.

It really was really soon, two seconds after the tweet for one second

EDIT: Argh, I freaked out, the little shipping icon changed from red to green, thought it was going to go up, then it went back red next time I refreshed.

Dark Pitt is up on mobile only right now it seems.

Thanks for the Line group post, Diggeh. I was reloading the desktop page and I would have missed it otherwise.

[Ibuki]

Thanks for the heads up! I was sitting here refreshing the desktop site like a sucker!

...man, ordering from Best Buy is a reminder of how much the free Amazon Prime shipping has spoiled me, though. Just a couple of bucks feels like so much more, plus the lack of one-click...

 

[Ignition365]

Diggeh, you da real MVP.

 

[Triz]

its up on PC browser too.

[LiK]

LOL, who needs lines

 

[Xamdou]

Damn Line warriors am cry

 

[ActStriker]

Just got an order in on Best Buy.

 

[JavyOO7]

I got him. Hopefully everyone gets theirs too.

 

[SmackAttack]

its up on PC browser too.

The page won't load for me!

 

[JavyOO7]

The page won't load for me!

Use another browser maybe.

 

[Ridley327]

Cool. I worked the ticket line for Dark Pit this morning, so it's nice to come home to being able to avoid the crowd and order one online.

 

[MADGAME]

Thanks Diggeh

 

[Curler]

Omg got him off my phone!! After getting frustrated this morning with being so busy I managed to get a text and was able to snag one

 

[starmud]

Nice I was number 21 at best buy and they had 18... Kinda shocked so many people showed up. I live in a pretty rural area and largest yet I've seen was a group of 10 lol

 

[Sushigod7]

Online was easy this time good job Best Buy and Amazon.

 

[LycanXIII]

FUUUUUUUUCK.

Added him to cart. Went through all the pages. Entered card info. Continue to confirmation. Hit "Confirm Order" and get told that he's sold out.

Edit: YES! Half an hour later and I can get him added!

 

[SmackAttack]

Use another browser maybe.

Tried this twice and now I'm getting an ERROR page at the end. Come on.

 

[friskykillface]

Dark Pit common

 

[LiK]

Best Buy got all the hardcore people in the stores and left the online stock for everyone else. Devious.

 

[Diggeh]

 

[Zombine]

I got Dark Pit

 

[Skiesofwonder]

So I recieved an email from best buy about a sale they were having, and at the bottom of the sales webpage "dark pit" showed up in the most viewed items section. I clicked out of curiosity and sure enough he was available so I bought it. I had no idea he had even been released, and it wasn't until I clicked on this thread that I realized today was his release date(?).

I'm thanking my lucky stars right now.

 

[DooD1234]

Oh wow...I got Palutena and Dark Pit online rather painless.

 

[Velcro Fly]

I love the scalper resistant ways every store is handling this now

I always wish for more stock. Glad for my fellow amiibros/amiisisters that got their Palutena/Dark Pit

 

[Nintendo Playstation]

I'm amazed at how pain free Dark Pit was. First 30 people got a numbered paper that pretty much guaranteed you one as long as you showed up before 1pm when they'd start selling to anyone. After that I just went back to my car and napped till the store opened.

See, this would've been great if it was a few hours early. My store handed out their tickets at 9:45 am. What, like I'm gonna go take a nap for 14 minutes and risk not waking up until after 1pm when the reserves are released to genpop and sell out?

 

[Ibuki]

Now to see how crazy the rumored GameStop 3-pack is going to be. I anticipate waiting in a large line.

It's a Saturday so yeah it's going to be crazy long line.

Fucking GameStop

 

[Ibuki]

Fucking GameStop

At least, if the rumor is true, we won't have to deal with the shitty web in store system. Please let it be true.

I'm sure they learned their lesson from that one hassle/headache/toture on both sides of the transaction.

 

[Rizific]

struck out this morning, just got in my online order! wheres palutena?

 

[kewlmyc]

Dark Pitt is up on mobile only right now it seems.

Ordered. Hopefully I can cancel my Amazon order despite it preparing to ship.

EDIT: Woohoo, Amazon ordered canceled. Plus I get a discount since I have GCU. What a lovely thing to happen during a shitty work day.

 

[Majestad]

Fuck yeah, got Dark Pit online.

Where can I get Palutena?

 

[Nintendo Playstation]

Best Buy website is toast

Well, it was for a couple minutes there

OOS for shipping again

 

[Sponge]

Got Palutena in the mail today! No Dark Pit, though. Maybe later down the road.

Dude, he's still available on Best Buy's website if you're fast enough.

Is it up still? I've been trying to add him to my cart and it says he's sold out.

 

[Thoraxes]

Why are people talking about GameStop this Saturday? Did I miss something? Or is it next Sat 8/8?

Edit: Ah yes so next weekend. The 8/8 event has not been confirmed to employees yet for content or anything else except that there is an event. Only thing I can confirm also is this :" There is a rumor that Pro members will be allowed in to stores an hour early. I am unable to confirm this at this time." <- is true.

As a PUR member, this pleases me. I even resubbed this year for free with my points too!
