Both pink and blue have shipped for me on Friday. The tracking info for blue is broken though...

Mine did. I have no idea the hopes of it actually shipping, I'm going to assume that it will most likely get cancelled. I doubt Walmart is going to rush to get a bunch of delayed orders (that they are losing money on) filled.
The only guarantee is that nothing is guaranteed.
Oh you have a preorder with us? Too bad, we didn't enough stock in. Oh you ordered online with us? Cancelled, reinstated, cancelled, reinstated after you bought it elsewhere.
Those days are mostly behind us though for anything new. If I was buying any more I'd be curious to see if I could walk in and grab a Yarn Yoshi today.

Wasn't sure about picking up the pink yarn Yoshi but ended up buying it during my lunch hour. Pinkie will be arriving on the same day as the light blue one, which is Wednesday.
Guess I should probably buy the game and green yarn Yoshi bundle at this point, despite not having my Wii U yet (I'll hopefully be purchasing it on Black Friday).

I <3 yarn yoshi. The green one is all I need.
Something bit interesting happened yesterday when me and a friend was checking out a gamestop. My friend went to ask about the yarn yoshi, and the guys there said that there be more colors of amiibo yarn yoshi and also be shy guy amiibos coming out. o.- I was feeling that wasn't real, and doesn't seem like there been news regarding more Yoshi Woolly World amiibo beside the mega one.

If you heard it from someone outside of AmiiboGAF/Reddit/etc. they definitely don't exist. (Where else would they get their information from?)
Pretty sure I heard some BS from them in the past, so yeah thought so. More colors for yoshi would have been a bit nice through heh.

Went in my local best buy today
amiibo section was pretty much cleaned out
they had maybe 1-2 Peach and a handful of Marth and that is it
Section looks way bigger now though.

I only saw a couple Pikachus and Peach when I went to mine yesterday. They actually BARELY had any Nintendo games at all! I wonder if this is the same for a lot of them? Then again, I did see the Yoshi bundles in the back behind customer service.
A lot of best buys have a separate display that's not in aisle for them now
I didn't notice any when I was in the game section, but I wasn't looking for them either. Still, their Nintendo section in general was VERY barren. Think I saw only like, 2 WiiU games.

The FUCK!? Been out of the game for a good min. Was there a big restock or something?

Yeah, Toys R Us and Best Buy both had a big restock of a couple of the rarer figures, including some previously exclusive ones (Lucario, Greninja, Shulk). Dark Pit was still BB exclusive though.
If you're in the US then it's only sold in the bundle currently.
Went into Best Buy a week or two ago, they didn't have any restocks.
Went in today, they had three Captain Falcons left. Picked one up. I now have the original Smash Bros 12. Feels good.
Only eight available Smash Bros amiibo left. Along with Green Yarn Yoshi (it's on the way in the mail), Modern 8-Bit Mario (not getting another Wii U for this) and the four Skylander amiibo (waiting for price drops)

So i take a break, manage to miss Falco and now Animal Crossing Amiibos.
Say it ain't so ;_; (I did get Mewtwo though, i suppose)

I'm pretty sure Falco is still available
Well only Walmart has even put up the AC Amiibo online. Then again, I think Walmart.com was the only place that put the Yoshis up online... Let's hope other retailers start adding them soon. (Still missing one AC Amiibo to put up too, even if she is during a different date).
Target had the Yoshis' online. I have my shipment coming in tomorrow

New Animal Crossing amiibo festival footage once again confirms no none bundled version of the game so every copy will have come with the amiibo.

Pink Yoshi came in 3 days early somehow. I have little hope for Blue Yoshi after it got delayed for me. I really need to get a good bookshelf to hold some of these as my small desk isn't cutting it anymore.
Also what started as a Fox amiibo back on Smash day one just because I was curious about amiibo functionality has now turned into probably what is going to be a full smash line collection and some other random stuff. Currently only missing Villager, WFT, Pit, Mega Man, Rosalina, Dedede, Ike, Metaknight, Wario, Ness, and Bowser Jr. I probably should of bought some of these when I had the chance. Whatever though. Next up, Mewtwo, Mii Fighters, Shovel Knight, random AC amiibo, and anything they can somehow appeal to me easily.

Still waiting on my pink yoshi in the mail. Processing taking 3 to 5 days kills me ;_____;
I saw 15 Pink Yoshi's at the EB Games in Loughheed Town Center, when I was picking up my bundle today. I was more shocked that the Blue Yoshi was out of stock, as I thought that one would've been more common.
Also B&H, before they jacked up the prices to $50 (and now apparently back down to $20 😄
My order, that I nabbed at MSRP + $3 S&H (well worth not having to stand in line at a store) the same time I posted about them, has almost arrived.
Well, you know, pink is for girls. 😏
the above is a criticism of hypocritical masculine game culture and does not reflect my actual beliefs

Everywhere I've seen the pink Yarn Yoshi has been more available. This could be because they made more for some reason, but I think more likely the Blue is a more popular color. This past week I've seen numerous pink yoshis on the shelves, but only 3 blue ones.
If you are in usa you can still get Falco = http://www.bestbuy.com/site/nintend...alco/4575401.p?id=1219770992857&skuId=4575401
AC Amiibo's came out in walmart for pre-order. I'm sure GS, Target, BB, etc will come out with pre orders shortly.
That's why my orders are only temps :x
I haven't had much issue with them, other than some paranoia.
my pre orders from them went just fine up until the last wave. my zss and olimar order stayed pending forever. i called customer service and was told that those items were discontinued by the manufacturer and to not expect my order to be fulfilled, so i cancelled my order. then some days later some gaffers reported their walmart orders that were stuck in processing limbo like me actually got fulfilled and shipped =/. in other news, my blue yoshi from target that shipped last tuesday is finally getting delivered today. i guess thats free red card shipping for you.

Gohastings deals with used stuff too, so maybe they are pulling them out of the bundles to sell separately.
Huh it's an actual pre-order... Real fast then! (Where's my separate modern 8-bit Mario?)
