Well regardless of the logistics of making NFC things to match the DLC they want to put into the game, I don't think the thirst for cards will be nearly as real as that for figures.

0.00 ms for me.
It depends where you live or something. I never saw Lucina or Robin for sale once, and I was refreshing every second.

I consider myself incredibly lucky this wave. Other than the excruciating way I lost out on Ness I've done really well.
I was able to get Ness during the preorder nightmare from gamestop somehow. I'm curious though. Did your store just have a lot of him, or what?

It has been done. Thanks Cyan!
Literally best ever.

Well, I missed Robin. My nephew got Splatoon and I was having too much fun. Well, I got Robin from Japan so I'm good.

The struggle is over... Until Wave 5/6!
I'm glad this is over ... it was exhausting.
I ended up with the Splatoon 3-pack shipped from Gamestop, a Greninja from TRU this morning, found a Charizard in Walmart this afternoon, and got the Lucina & Robin orders on Amazon. Also got a Pac-Man at Wal-mart, but I'm returning it so someone else has a shot at it.
I bought more than I expected, but I know they'll disappear at some point ...

Haha, perfect.
Well, now that most of the Amazon chaos is winding down, I'm finally going to be able to dedicate some time to Splatoon. Good luck to everyone going for the 3-pack.

I did the preorder nightmare too.
The problem was I was being nice and asked to only preorder the ones I wanted, so the lady at the register skipped me to checkout all the bundles first.
Then. Despair.
It's frightening how much this works right now.

Didn't get Robin, but I got Lucina at least so I guess I'm ok with this.

The charge will be removed between 3-5 business days but yeah tigerdirect never had them available, have no idea why it was even put up
Good job.

Cool beans. Thanks!
Might need to diggify this as well!
Wish I could find one with Male Robin but oh well.
Has Nintendo been restocking the GCN adapter regularly? I just did a random check and it's going on Amazon for MSRP.

It made sense at the time, the bundle was one SKU (and would sell out first) versus me wanting four SKUs.That's terrible
Still.

Yea, seen them pop up every month or so. It also means retailers may be getting more shipments in next week if amazon got more.

it's over, it's finally over
except for those of us who begrudgingly resign themselves to eBay listings and walletary* despair
PudgyBunny and I got everything we wanted in online preorders, though. Got Silver Mario in person at Toys R Us on an impulse. Passed on Greninja, but still got one to trade. Got a second Jiggly and a second Lucina for trades (all of those are spoken for, BTW). We somehow made it through unscathed, mostly through her hard work and relentlessness. She's amazing.
*walletary = relating to the wallet; not a real word

My guess, sometime after E3. When Nintendo introduces the Smash Alt series of amiibo.It's been a fun and exhausting day, amiigos. Soooo, when is U.S. Wave 5 going up?

I'm sorry, but I don't think you're getting it.
It turns out TD never had it in stock.

Well thats that.
I got Lucina and Inkling Girl. Missed Robin. Lucina was my most wanted so I am quite happy. Will never get Robin, but thats okay, atleast I got Lucina.
Wanna get Pac-Man, who is still up but money is tight and he is common and $5 extra when you addon shipping so I'll wait a bit.
Also got Shulk if GS ever ships the thing.
Brings my total to 16 Amiibos. Thats like half my money (For non food/bills) so far this year. I could use it on games. What is wrong with me.
But this may be it for me. Due to various things money is getting tighter. I can't get Splatoon until atleast July sadly, maybe even August since the central air conditioner cracks my WiiU gamepad so I had to put both it and Vita away until after we move in July. (Thankgod my 3DS seems to be holding or else I'd have nothing.) But with Splatoon, Dangan Ronpa, Corpse Party Blood Drive, Neptunia 3, Mutant Mudds, Smash DLC, and Yoshi the rest of my spare money is probably going towards games for the rest of the year. So this may be my final Amiibos. Will try and get Palutena, G&W, and Duck Hunt if I can at MSRB otherwise I think I'm out.
Had a good run until I got poorer.
