Looks like I'm up to importing Dedede, Toad, and Lucina now.

 

[Fourth Storm]

I got an error while refreshing once around the time she went up. I bet that was it.

 

[atomsk]

refreshing both pages, never saw it.

oh well, was only doing it for a friend who works 3rd shift and isn't awake.

 

[bigkrev]

I wasn't even paying attention, and she was on the page for like 30 seconds before I realized she was there. And because Amazon is Amazon, even though I had logged in 5 minutes beforehand, I had to re sign in before I could pay.

I'm on really fast wired (not wifi) internet, I don't know if that helped, or if I was just lucky.

 

[Toad.T]

PROTIP: Refresh the "From all sellers" page for future amiibos. I had Lucy and the first season of the DKC TV show in cart only when I switched from the Amiibo landing page.

 

[HardRojo]

So it's obvious the fire emblem characters are REALLY popular Amiibos, so why doesn't Nintendo produce more?

So that people like me who are interested in Fire Emblem at all buy them. I know I will never play a FE but I'm still getting the Amiibo because I'm

Spoiler

foolishly

aiming for a full set.

 

[illadelph]

fuck a Robin, I'm playing some Splatoon and going out and getting smashed with the homies

 

[Auron_Kale]

I had her in my cart and was about to pay when I got cart-jacked... Ugh. Sucks.

 

[Wanderer5]

Cause it Nintendo. Be nice that they REALIZE it by now, but pfft.

 

[GuardianE]

The scalpers won.
Should've waited for this to happen before dropping $40...

At least I've got trade material now.

It was limited to 1 per person. Scalpers didn't win here. Demand was just significantly higher than supply.

She wasn't up there for 30 seconds. She wasn't even up there for 10.

 

[Zonic]

Well great, gotta go to a concert & most likely miss my chance to get Robin.

 

[Saint Gregory]

Never even saw her for a second. I wonder if Robin will be this bad.

 

[Josh5890]

I'm feeling better about waking up early for Target to get the duo!

Good luck to everyone on Robin!

had to re enter my debit card and by the time i did and confirmed my order it said she was sold out. basically i missed it because of them

 

[shandy706]

For the first time in my life....I don't like Nintendo....there's no excuse for a shortage on any of these.

I wonder if I'll even be able to get my daughter the Splatoon pack.

 

[Ridley327]

We might get a couple of extra seconds.

Maybe...

 

[LiK]

Anyone that got charged shipping while having Prime; you can change the shipping method in your order page to 2-day free shipping.

doesn't work. no free option in all the options in my order.

i emailed them since their live chat seems borked atm.

 

[HardRojo]

Wario is up next. I'm guessing we'll be able to at least see him available no?

 

[Toki767]

For people getting charged for shipping, Amazon Customer Service will waive the fee without even asking if you talk to them.

 

[LegendX48]

"Your shopping cart is empty"

-_-

 

[Giolon]

Amazon Customer Service said they were having a problem with that item and it's being reviewed. The guy said lots of people were dealing with that issue at the moment XD They credited me the shipping for free, woo!

 

[Skids the Clown]

Constant refreshing and she never popped up once. FML

 

[ameleco]

PROTIP: Refresh the "From all sellers" page for future amiibos. I had Lucy and the first season of the DKC TV show in cart only when I switched from the Amiibo landing page.

I did just that. Didn't show up.

 

[WiiRevolution1]

I GOT LUCINA IM CRYIN RITE NOW.

Need to go ask my mom if I can have $10 off the cc to go after both Inkling Girl and Robin since I no have $30 of credit left and have to pay shipping lol. It seems like Inkng Girl will be common...but still. If only she came after Robin. I don't think I will be lucky enough for two FE ones.

 

[theSlacker]

Guess I got burned by having it filtered by Prime shipping assuming that it would come up as prime. Oh well.

 

[Adamator]

I too was 5ing the main page, reloading off this page AND refreshing the "ALL" page and she never even showed up. What the actual fuck. She was one of the few I actually wanted.

 

[AliasGreed]

Wario should be easy at least

 

[Boogiepop]

Did they only have like three and only some people saw it. This is the single worst any amiibo thing has ever been. Literally couldn't even see it despite constant f5 on the proper page is the most insane thing I've ever heard.

 

[Saint Gregory]

doesn't work. no free option in all the options in my order.

I feel bad for their chat people right now. The wrath that's probably being unleashed on them for something they have zero control over :/

 

[Ibuki]

Well looks like I'm gonna try to trade or just pay a scalper... I was refreshing the whole time. It shouldn't be this difficult.

 

[Marvie_3]

I don't know who I should be more annoyed at: Nintendo for not making more, or Amazon for not even listing the damn thing & yet it's sold out somehow.

Nintendo by far. No excuse for undershipping things this badly.

..keep people like us doing this shit. Seriously, its brilliant demand creation.

Higher demand isn't helping them if they're still undershipping the hell out of amiibos. The only people benefiting are scalpers.

 

[Sandfox]

I got my Lucina with little to no difficulty.

 

[Infinitemadness]

Where my Wario Bros at. Lets yell when you see him.

 

[Bulzeeb]

meanwhile poor pac-man is still available

 

[Tabasco]

I contacted Amazon and they refunded the shipping charge.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Lol they probably had like 100 of her if that.

 

[NeOak]

I got my Lucina with little to no difficulty.

You got a death wish?

lol

 

[Busaiku]

It was limited to 1 per person. Scalpers didn't win here. Demand was just significantly higher than supply.

Scalpers beat me, cause I bought on eBay earlier while waiting at Target.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

I got a fucking amazon prime ad during the purchase. And I have that shit. It made me fail this.

 

[metsallica]

These aren't eligible for Prime shipping? Since when?

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

Well looks like I'm gonna try to trade or just pay a scalper... I was refreshing the whole time. It shouldn't be this difficult.

Precisely why I stopped. It's 2015. With all the social media, and information available to Nintendo it could not be easier to make enough. They are just flat out refusing to. Cant believe how man people here didn't even see it. This really sucks.

 

[iShouldGoPro]

Is it true Marth is going up on target today?

 

[YuriLowell]

I bet they produced like 2000 Lucina figures for NA.

 

[xKilltheMx]

It popped up in chrome (couldn't add to cart), but not firefox (what I primarily use). What crap.

wait. what? I use firefox and didnt see her. Anybody else use firefox and not see her pop up?

 

[That Wont Fit In There]

Is it true Marth is going up on target today?

Dude if this is true...

 

[shandy706]

I got my Lucina with little to no difficulty.

 

[NeOak]

These aren't eligible for Prime shipping? Since when?

Just change the shipping to 1 day and then back to 2 day

 

[Josh5890]

So does anyone still expect those 4,000 Marth's to go up on Target.com today?

 

[Speedwagon]

These aren't eligible for Prime shipping? Since when?

They are. My Lucina is paired with 2-day prime shipping. It just wasn't available at the start.
