Ganondorf sold out again before the Line alert even got posted. Sigh... At least I got the 8-bit Mario from Walmart. One less to worry about in the morning, which is good since he was tied for lowest stock in my area (... along with Ganondorf).

I'm so friggin' happy! Saw the reddit post about the Gamestop Splatoon 3-pack restock, and decided to check in-store before doing an online order.

Not only did they have exactly one 3-pack available, the box had gotten crumpled on delivery so I got a nice discount on it! This is the one I've been wanting all summer! So glad I never bit on the solo inkling restocks.

Now for tomorrow morning...

Sweet! Classic Mario is now also mine. In-Store pickup to avoid shipping fees is sweet.

Would it be too much to ask for them to put the rest up, and then I can actually sleep in tomorrow :D

I know seriously I just need Pikmin and Zero Suit, and I find it really odd that they are only posting ONE amiibo

TY Wal-Mart for ZSS.

I ordered Pit and Gold Mario from them before, and got it no problems. However, I am doing store pickup and I think I should be good as well.

Walmart's rock solid. They ship well and I can't think of any time they've cancelled orders outside of duplicates, and even then that's only sometimes.

Good to know, thanks! I've done in store pick up in the past, but nothing that's hot and hard to find. Hopefully Target comes through on my Ganondorf and then all I have to worry about is Bowser Jr.

Retro three pack comes out at the end of the month. Like September 25th, i think.

Got them both(Olimar and Zeus) but they charge ridiculous amount for shipping. When I got wave 4 from them I got free shipping for each amiibo so I am keeping the order but if something better comes around(Like Amazon tomorrow) then I can always cancel walmart, or I can contact them to do something about the charge

Talked to my local GS today after they tipped me off to Inking Boy/Girl and 3 Pack being available.

He said they're getting 8 ZSS, Olimar, a good amount of Retro Mario, but only 3 Ganondorf and he said he thinks one is reserved?

He questioned it and cancelled it since he said there aren't supposed to be any pre-orders.

Good guy, gamestop.

Still, Ganondorf looks to be our unicorn this go around. My TRU showed me their stock of Bowser on Tuesday and it was over 50.

Apparently Burbank Target has them in stock? The app and site says so anyway. Are these on sale now? I live super close can I drive over there and get one, or are they releasing tomorrow? I thought they were tomorrow...

You guys in Burbank are super lucky, saw today that TRU in Burbank is gonna have over 200 Bowser Jrs..you guys always get all the good amiibos, meanwhile Im on the Westside and have to rely on the TRU on La Cienaga/18th street where who knows if they will have enough when I go there tomorrow

Haven't had issues with Wal-Mart in the past, ordered a Robin and Lucina before with no trouble.

All that remains is Bowser Jr. Shame he's in-store only.

Holy shit. Guess I'll go to TRU tomorrow and get Bowser Jr then.

But are there on sale in stores now? Retro Mario, Olimar, etc? They're showing in stock at the store but I don't wanna drive over if they're not actually on sale until tomorrow

Thx for the Walmart link, got Olimar. Since I found Inkling Girl at GS and got the retro pack for Duck Hunt Dog that finishes up every Amiibo I want, barring Fire Emblem limited editions or w/e.

Is there a limit per person? If I do wind up going over there any they have any left I could try to get you one?

Also is TRU getting Retro Mario? I'm wondering if I can get the three I want (Bowser Jr, Olimar, and Retro Mario) all at the same place instead of trying to order online and hit multiple stores when I really don't have the money to be buying these in the first place -___-

Your asking the wrong person, no clue..for wave 4 when I called TRU to get a Greninja they told me over 50 people were standing outside so I knew not to bother..I would call the store tomorrow morning or whatever your original plan was, Olimar is right now available on walmart.com but the shipping is well, ridiculous

Unless I'm crazy, Ganondorf has never gone up at all. I've been watching the pages for over an hour. ZSS, Retro Mario and Olimar have all been available for over 30 minutes now and I never saw Ganon's page even flicker.

I'm mostly set until they announce like a 30 person megaten x fire emblem set, then I will just cry. I just need to trade for an ike and dark pit at some point.

Yeah, pretty sure he hasn't gone up yet. I'm mostly going off r/amiibo, but I've not seen anything about him.

I really need him to go up too since he'll push me over free shipping. I'd rather do this than drive out to a best buy at 6 am at this point.

At launch he's a rare, but he's gonna be like Sheik long-term. Very few at first, then several small restocks, and then a relatively steady supply. They probably gave him (and Sheik before him) low priority at launch so they can focus on characters like ZSS and Olimar, for whom this will probably be it for quite a long while.

Alright so I can only get 4 out of the 5 at target. I'm definitely getting Dr Mario so what is most likely going to be commonish?

Yeah, I would just buy Retro Mario and Olimar from them but that shipping is insane. I'm not gonna pay $5 for shipping when I can drive like less than a couple miles to get them at Target or TRU.

Tempted to do Store Pickup but the closest WalMart is 7 miles away and at that point I might as well just pay for shipping.
