The TRU I went to put out all the new ones out on shelves. We didn't even have an associate walk us to electronics, so people started running. Luckily they had like 20 of every non exclusives and about 10 8 bit marios. Glad this amiibo line is almost over, don't want to deal with this TRU ever again.

Got to Best Buy 15 minutes early. I was the first and only person in line until it opened. they had all the Amiibos. More Ganons than anything. They only had a handful of classic Marios. Good luck everyone!

Yeah I stopped by one after TRU to pick up Super Mario Maker at Best Buy and they had 2 ZSS, Ganondorf and Olimar left. Since I got everything at TRU (and Dr. Mario in the mail) I left them for someone else. I'm sitting on too much trade bait as it is
Went to a local store here in Peru and was surprised to see Villager, Ike and Captain Falcon (he was hidden behind a Lucario). I already asked my friend to set each of one aside for me and I'll get then next week. Ganondorf looks amazing! They spared no expense on the details!
TRU stocks were really good in columbus for me. Only ganondorf is nowhere to be seen
but he's on gamestop atm

I had ordered everyone but Jr. and 8 bit Mario on Target.com. Stopped in at 9:30 at Best Buy and got 8 bit and a ZSS for my wife. Went over to TRU and got in line at 9:45 for Jr. They said I could buy up to 4, but I just got the one. Had a chat with a guy wearing a Gradius shirt about STGs while we waited. It was rad!
Now to hope I can get a modern 8 bit when I get to the Peg in a couple of hours.

Yeah I swung by there after TRU and Target to grab super Mario maker and was surprised to find all of wave 5 around 1130 eastern. Snatched them up with GCU and will return my target ones tomorrow.

I think Amazon has them going up shortly.
Someone in front of me boght the last Ganondorf at my TRU and the lady who rung him up screams, "We are now sold out of the Gandalf Amiibo!" I almost lost it, haha.
Casually strolled in to Best Buy afterwards at 10:18am and bought all the non-exclusives for $10.39 a pop. I was the first person to show up there, haha.

All these success stories means the scalpers gave up and bought all the BB-8s 
But Disney don't play and will restock those forever

That's what I'm hearing. Ganon's still up right now but I'll hold off until I get there and see. Thanks!

GameStop really is modestly stocked because of the attention diverting to Target and TRU. That being said, I bought all my stuff from best buy. But these people cut in front of us because h two front people in line had "saved their spot" by putting down Pokemon plushies as placeholders even though I was there before they did that retroactively.
Kinda feel bad for the people who wasted their time in line because of them.

Well at least I know which Gamestop I can go to early that isn't full of campers. Got the 3 I wanted from this month. Then again my guess is that they raided the other stores such as Target or Best Buy so they didn't need to get it from Gamestop anymore.

If it's anything like the one I went to it may be too late to get him in store. They only got like 6 of him and 6 of the Mario at the store I went to and they were gone in seconds.

Tried it, when you go to check out it removes it from your cart. Gave it a good few tries too, assuming they sold out.
Also thanks for the info Tigro!

Well to be fair if he's anything like the other Zelda ones then I'm sure he'll be back.

Yeah I know, Amiibos just drive me insane for all the wrong reasons lol.
Must be a TRU inside joke or something cause at mine they couldn't say his name and just called him "Gandolf" too
Mii Fighter, Mii Brawler, Mii Swordsman, Falco, Mewtwo, Lucas, Roy, Ryu, unannounced DLC we assume is coming

Ran into Best Buy on my lunch break to grab Mario Maker and they had one Ganondorf, one Zero Suit Samus and one Olimar left. I grabbed all three.
May go out looking for an 8-bit Mario later.

Very successful morning. Got all of em, and I pretty much owe it all to my first class getting cancelled. The fates were playing in my favor today, that's for sure.

The manager that came out today to tell everyone at TRU what was going on said something about thanking everyone for coming out for this new Pokemon thing. I couldn't tell if he was joking or not.
I think the retro pack releases 9/25.

Are Marth and Captain Falcon still good trade fodder? I really need the Toys r Us exclusives.
Ehhh better than the Reddit post where someone called Walmart and said "no new Star Wars".

Congrats to everyone that got what they wanted today! I sat out of it thanks to imports, but I kinda wish I had waited. I love the craziness that comes with lining up overnight.

Just came back from Toys R Us, Target and Best Buy. Got 6 Amiibos and Mario Maker today. This is the first time I lined up for Amiibos. A good 30 or so people In line. What am I doing to myself?
Do you have both of these? What do you need exactly?

I feel a bit dumb about ordering from Walmart when I easily found everybody today. Toysrus had plenty of Bowser Jr's as did Target with Dr. Mario and I went to the Gamestop close by and they had 8 of every Amiibo still so I got the other 4 there. I cancelled with Walmart but with my luck it was too late so i'll probably still get em in the mail.

I do have them both. I need Greninja, Lucario, Ike, Lucina, and Robin. Dunno what Marth and Falcon are worth together now as far as trades go.
I have a Greninja. Would like a Marth if interested. Not sure if it's a fair trade or not because I don't really follow the Amiibi scene much.
With that said, I was at Best Buy about an hour after it opened and was able to get Olimar, Ganondorf and 8-Bit Mario. They also had Zero Suit Samus but I wasn't interested in picking her up. Pretty easy pickups for me as I wasn't really trying to find/buy them.

I ordered from walmart last night, then I ordered the same amiibos today from Gamestop(saved a few bucks with SAVER free shipping) but with free shipping from Gamestop it would take a week and a half to get the amiibos, so I am going to see what happens today with amazon, if pikmin and ZSS come up and I can get them I will cancel both gamestop AND walmart
