Pre-ordered both amiibo bundles of Chibi-Robo & Woolly World for store pick-up at GameStop.
I guess I'll wait until Friday to see if any of the Wave 5 characters or 8-bit Mario goes up on Target since I can't find another amiibo I want or need with Dr. Mario & I don't feel like spending $5 on shipping.

Ganondorf is the only Amiibo I wanted this wave that I failed to pre-order, and since my internet is not that good/consistent, hitting up Amazon might not be a viable option. Look like, I'll be hitting up some place like Target this friday.

I have Chibi Robo bundle pre ordered through Costco.com, the thing is that when I was making the order, I made a mistake with the billing(I used my Mom's Costco account) same last name, same billing address, but the first name is different on the credit card. I already have a pending authorization on the card, do you think I should be OK(Already contacted Costco about it and they put it on file in case of a problem) just not sure if I should also pre order from gamestop or trust Costco in shipping it to me
I hope they do something similar with amiibo cards
I'm still waiting for Nintendo to announce the binder for the US.
The cards is tough because I want to buy 10 packs but I don't want to whored a store if the are only getting like 15 or something. I hope Nintendo keeps refilling these.

Gamestop still had amiibo retro bundles available so I went ahead and ordered those. I guess they're not going to be that hard to find, which is good.
Also I'm getting Little Mac and Captain Falcon tonight from craigslist. Hope I don't get murdered.

What an odd day to put up the bundles...

Thanks Max!
Still can't believe we're getting an amiibo of him. I've wanted the little guy in toy form for the longest time and I'm beyond ecstatic that I'm finally getting my wish.
and yes, I'm excited for the game too
Oh was that up at the same time? Would've got it as a pick up in store if I saw it, but I guess I'll stick with Amazon... I just don't trust their packaging, but it should be a big enough package to not have it get smooshed easily.

also gonna pre order the yoshi bundle
Damn, I work on Friday
What are the odds TRU puts it up online during opening hours?
They said it was in-store only, but Best Buy and GameStop also said the same thing.

The dude didn't kill me so tonight was a pretty big success. Gonna wait in line at Target Friday morning for ZSS I suppose.

I want to go to Target since it's the cheapest way for me and I don't want to have to completely rely on Amazon not selling out before I get a chance, but man... Fuck lining up that early. :\ I know odds are I won't get there anywhere near early enough to get them all, and that's assuming they don't do a 2 character limit ago. Plus, my store handled wave 4 terribly after handling wave 3 beautifully, so I have no idea what to even expect. I'll probably go, but I really, really don't want to.
Ugh, I just can't wait for the Smash series to be over. I'm so burnt out over this. At least this is the last major wave for the series. From here on out it's just individual releases. I know there's always other new series as well, but I can't imagine we'll ever see anything like Smash again, in terms of scope anyway (at least until Smash 5...).

Last time I went to amiibo release day I lined up at 3am and I was still 6th in line. Not sure if I have it in me for round 2.

Yeah, fuck that.
At least I live in an area that's both 1) not too densely populated and 2) has a bunch of each store (outside of fucking TRU) nearby anyway, so lines are never that bad, but still. Have to line up even at 6am just to have a chance for $13 is nuts to me. I keep hoping with each wave people will be burnt out and yet each time people are lining up earlier than the last. :\

My olimar shipped from Target ^_^.
Now I just gotta worry about Bowser Jr... and then drive 40 minutes away to pick up my SMM from BB.

Haha, I am excited for you.
I hope the amiibo Bundle goes up on Best Buy soon, too. Ordered it on GS just in case but prefer to use GCU if possible.I forget to wait for the YWW w/ the amiibo and just ordered the regular version from BB.
Do we know if the Yoshi amiibo will be available on its own, outside of the bundle?
Mine, too! I had plans to go to Target at 9 AM after dropping off my daughter on Friday and trying to get one and then from there to TRU to wait in line for Bowser, Jr. and also to see if I could get an Olimar. Then, if that failed, was going to try to get one from Amazon when they went up, but now I just have to worry about Bowser Jr.

What is the MSRP on the Green Yarn Yoshi? Is $24 a good price?
I am sick of waiting for the bundle to go up on preorder on Amazon in the USA and noticed the Japan import is in stock right now.

I think it was mentioned as $17.99.
Bowser Jr. is in-store only, at least for now.

So, being a yankee, should I go for it? Or keep waiting for it to show up locally?
I guess what I'm asking is, is it already sold out in the states or will it be a more common Amiibo that I could even pick up in a brick and mortar store?
I know Gamestop still has the bundle up, and Target has a listing for that amiibo by itself. $24 isn't a bad price, but be wary of how much shipping would add to it.

You can get it right now without being forced to get the bundle. I'd say that's a win!

Chin up!
I like how shipping is completely off. Doc won't show up until Monday, but ZSS and Ganon are supposed to be coming Saturday. Olimar hasn't even shipped yet and is also scheduled for Monday.
Doc shipped first and is coming at the same time as Olimar, despite it shipping last.

Is anyone trying their luck with Nintendo World Store? Was feeling optimistic on being able to do a run before work, but with it allowing line ups at 5am I'm not so sure anymore.
The discounts you can get are nice, but ultimately is it worth possibly not getting the item period? Or at least, paying an above MSRP after market markup? I've seen lots of people wait and not pre-order period, with the hopes of stuff coming to Best Buy. It doesn't hurt making a temp order elsewhere and then cancelling.
