Any chance we get any other amiibo reprinted? I'm still looking for wii fit trainer, rosalina, the kirby line, and pit. Also, I recently decided I want the full mario smash set, but only the mario party line is available in stores. They all used to be incredibly common but now they're impossible to find on store shelves (specifically, mario, luigi, bowser, wario, DK, diddy).

Most of those, if not all, can be bought on Amazon for less than $20 if you don't care about the region.
The estimated arrival is on the purchase screen before you agree to the order. 3-5 days from release date.

That's still stupid. Amazon ships pre order items early so you have them on release day, even if you aren't a prime member. No reason Gamestop can't do it too

Same.Oh yeah Roy comes out tomorrow.
Glad I already paid him off, I forgot the date.
I got my shipping confirmations yesterday for Kapp'n, the Nooklings, Ryu and Rover. Now I just have to figure out where the hell to put 'em. So many amiibo, so little shelf space!
I ... I don't think I preordered Roy. I know I preordered Ryu on Best Buy's website with free shipping to my house, which Best Buy reports already shipped, but I don't remember doing anything for Roy.
Upon checking Diggeh's Most Excellent OP, I see he's a GameStop exclusive ... welp! Guess I'll just YOLO it and walk into a GameStop tomorrow hoping to buy one off the shelf. I'm sure it'll work out great for me.

i bought pokemon platinum from amazon warehouse deals like last week and they waited to ship it until today to combine it with the tons of series 3 card packs i ordered
the good news is all will be here on saturday!
the only one I really want is Roy though and GameStop shipping is probably slow

That makes me happy I decided to switch my pre-order of Timmy & Tommy to Best Buy.
IIRC it's Tom Nook, Mable and Lottie.

I knew I shouldn't have, having little money right now and all, but I went ahead and bought a Lottie and Jigglypuff from Target today. Went to get a birthday gift and walked out with something for myself too. I have no willpower.

Nooklings, Kapp'n, & Rover on their merry way from Amazon, should be here tomorrow. Glad I preordered them ASAP, as Nintendo may have done a smaller initial print run? (Based on the massive overstock and drastic price drops of the first two AC sets.)
Now all I "need" is Summer Isabelle.
Gave up on cards about halfway through NA Series 2, they're too damn exhausting to trade for, because agoraphobia + Post Office was starting to really get under my skin.
The smaller human is really hype for the 4 new Kirby series amiibo attached to Planet Robobot, so I'll have to keep my eyes out for those.

Ryu & FamiROB are arriving today with Pokken (& I hope "today" doesn't mean "around 8 p.m.") then picking up Roy sometime after I wake up.
I REALLY need to do some more reorganizing, because my main shelf can't hold any more amiibo, & I'm barely gonna be able to put Roy next to Ike & Marth. Ryu's going in the middle of Mario & the 3rd party crew (or put Mario in the center, then Ryu in a corner), then FamiROB will....I guess go on my Wii U with my other misc. amiibo like Splatoon & Chibi-Robo.

I'm sure no one cares, but I figured it out and it may be helpful for future amiibo shoppers. I actually already preordered one of these 2 months ago and forgot about it, so it kept adjusting the quantity to 0 because there's a limit of 1 per customer.
No one likes Amiibos is anymore, Ryu will still be there. You love Marvel stuff, just watch Daredevil.

An easy fix. Turn that question into an ordered list!
1. Pick up your Ryu Amiibo
2. THEN binge-watch Daredevil Season 2.
Ta-da!

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Who's out today besides Ryu and Roy?
1. Look at Diggeh's OP or you're going to get Jojoed.
2. Famicom (Rob); Digby, Tommy/Timmy, Kap'n, Rover.

They have come a long way with quality control. Roy looks so good and has a ton of details. Went through a box of them at gamestop and all of them looked great. Makes the older amiibo look like knock offs in comparison.

I have learned my lesson.
Ryu is coming from Amazon. Picked up Roy and the AC Amiibo. Already imported Famicom Rob and pretty sure I already have Digby (somehow). I'll check again when I get home.

Got Timmy/Tommy and Ryu coming from Amazon today....and I apparently preordered Ryu from Walmart too because I got a surprise notification that he shipped from Walmart too. I'll probably just take him back and then end up getting Bowser from MP because he's the last one I need.
Roy is on his way from Gamestop but not til next Thursday apparently....
In other news I saw these really rare amiibo at Walmart. I bought them all up in the intent that I can trade them for boxes of Golden Marios only plsthnkx

I don't even care about amiibo anymore and randomly saw the Nintendo World Store tweet that Roy and Ryu were available and felt compelled to go grab them

I think the next Amiibo thread title should be:
Amiibo Thread 4 | We finally got restocks
Both because Nintendo's finally restocked older Amiibos, and because Amiibo popularity has dwindled so much that the OTs should regress back to the skipped OT4.
P.S. Only about 1,500 posts to go!

With today's releases, I now have every single Amiibo released EXCEPT Silver Mario - he was in stock during the innocent period of my life where I thought I was only going to buy the ones I liked, rather than all of them.And now I have over 90 Amiibo -_-
So if anyone has a spare Silver Mario they would be willing to part with for MSRP, let me know!

Any other amiibo reprints out in the wild today?
That's my last resort. I like finding them in stores, it's weird.

Got Ryu. Don't want any of the new DLC characters I don't think, so I'm officially done with amiibo
.
Also, I realize I just bought a new amiibo, but there's no way to really make any money off of the old amiibo I regret purchasing, right? Especially if I took them out of the box?
until the inevitable Pikmin line

I'm sure you can sell them on eBay, but most likely it will be loss for you. Might as well just keep them.
BUT, their value may increase further down the road like what most Nintendo products do. Wait and see.

Picked up my Roy pre-order from GameStop and grabbed a pack of series 3 cards. Saw one Timmy & Tommy there but I passed, which I have a feeling may have been a bad idea.
Best Buy didn't get my Ryu in (they got in 15 for 16 preorders), but gave me a 10 dollar giftcard and told me I would have one next week.
Gamestop had no issues with my Roy, and had roughly 1 billion of every new amiibo.
I think i'm done with preorders. Seems to be next to no issues getting them if you want them on launch day anymore

Hopefully the WAY better Amazon Packaging Job for this latest wave actually made it to some collectors. My three Animal Crossing guys showed up in a huge box, which was a little dented, but the packaging of the amiibo themselves was still perfectly intact.
Hawkeyes on Summer Isabelle and the Robobot line now.

They didn't contact me either, I just went to the store and picked mine up.
My GS had about 8 each of the Smash characters (though I didn't see ROB but I saw about 4 Ryus & 6 Roys behind the counter), though my Roy pre-order was underneath.
Also, I just had the thought of trying the Shadow Mewtwo card on Mario Maker & it doesn't work. Kind of surprised it doesn't unlock the Mewtwo costume.
Edit: GS no longer contacts you if you have a pre-order, they stopped that sometime last year or so.
