thats what happens when you got make production for 50+ characters 2 months to produce isnt enough time to make alot of all the characters in each wave equal stock especially when some are way more detailed than others.

Has your TRU order charged your card or whatever yet?
Let's not pretend that this is the best way they could have handled all this.

I must have been really luck with Lucario. He came in a massive box. It was almost comical how big it was compared to how small the amiibo package was.

Funny thing i never received a cancellation email, I just know its not coming cause lucina is on back order and robin, which I used the same amex card, says pending review, like all of a sudden now there is a problem with my card LOL

I didn't get a cancellation email. Maybe there's hope? I doubt it though.

Im not pretending anything but to get all the figures for smash out in 1 year production on certain characters have to be less than others sadly thats just how it is nintendo isnt giving themselves enough time to make massive stocks of each character before having to move onto producing characters for the next wave.

They end up putting out like 50 smash amiibo in a year
Should have just sold a yearly subscription.
One amiibo per week sent to your house for a small fee of like a grand or something. Covers the amiibo, appropriate sales tax, and shipping.
Seriously tons of people would have probably done it.

So I tried to combine all my orders but it seems I can only combine two of them and the other one is like nope...I wonder why.
I do think it was better, but it still wasn't enough, heh.
Wonder if Amazon is still going to post those totals, would love to see them for FE characters.
The 3 stores I hit today didn't have very good stock of anything. 2 of the 3 were sold out by 20 people even with limits. Even with Nintendo acknowledging the problem they didn't fix it.

wait, amazon was gonna post totals?
It was apparently a miss print that the Amazon guy on Reddit said.
I'm pulling for you.

We should have made a game out of who can get cancelled by TigerDirect the fastest
I would have lost for sure. It's been 15 minutes and still nothing yet

Shiiiiiit. For real? I just looked up my order status and it's back ordered. Never got a cancellation email. Did they ever have Robin/Lucina?
Mine came up around the time people started mentioning the cancelation emails. I knew there was something up when I couldn't even track it.

It doesn't help that Nintendo is making new amiibo lines while the Smash series is going. SMB series, Splatoon, Yarn Yoshi. And these newly announced series so far have had much better stock than the Smash series.

I went out at 1 pm for some other stuff and peeked at the amiibo section in bestbuy and target, they both had nothing. The real test will be seeing what the restocks will look like, as I doubt the exclusives get much and a few characters will rise up to common levels like usual.
No, Amazon Josh said he couldn't post inventory info. His reply was a misunderstanding.

It's been 6 hours so far since I've gotten confirmation from Tiger Direct. No cancellation so far outside of it saying "backordered".
Smash will be over soon, and when you look at it... that's been the problem line.
Well, yes, obviously some lines are still fucked, like FE.

Well it was fun today AmiiboGAF but I'm going to go relax and play some games. I think I'll go check a few other stores tomorrow just because. Again, I will say that if anyone who couldn't find a Greninja, Splatoon 3-Pack and would be willing to trade or buy it, would like me to get one tomorrow, let me know. Can't promise anything but I'll do my best. We're all in this together.
Silver Mario is still in stock, no one who wants one will have a problem finding it.
Me and my friend were first and second in line at Target . The line grew to about 25 before doors opened. The guy fifth in line took a picture as proof so no one could cut and say they were there but it didnt matter since Target employees didnt care for the most part and let people run to the electronics cashier which was at the far rear corner of store. I ran since people who were like 20th in line tried to fandangle. Anyway me and my friend luckily end up being 2nd and 3rd in line to make purchases despite the rude people. Also was able to get the promotional splatoon super soaker squirt gun even though it was meant for people buying Splatoon stuff only. The employees there were clueless (in a good way in that situation).
Overall I was lucky but Im never going to camp out at that Target again since they dont impose the ticket system like the other Target I camped out at for Rosalina.
The gamestop a block away had the infamous inventory flyer on its window saying they had a shocking 10 Ness and there were 0 people in line there when I passed by at 1am on the way to Target.
My gets:
2x Lucina 2x Robin 2x Jigglypuff 1x Wario free Splatoon squirt gun
All my online preorders are on its way to my house:
5x Greninja 3x Ness 3x Pac Man 2x Wario 2x Charizard
My luck still alive and kicking. Onto wave 5!

People getting a backordered status? Mine is saying "In Process":
Same here. Exact same status for me.
*crosses fingers*
I have Robin already coming from Play-Asia anyways but it'd be great to have the second.

Yeah but figured I'd include it anyway. That was probably the one I saw the most today and I never saw one Gold Mario.

So TRU totally fucked up this morning and lost a box of Greninjas. They offered me either Lucina, Robin, Pacman, and Charizard as "compensation" so I chose Lucina. I went a bit more north and picked up a Greninja. I forgot I already ordered Lucina from somewhere and now I have two. D:
