Sucks it won't be online. It all comes down to Amazon for Lucina, and Robin... unless B&H ships them.

Yeah waiting on amazon for lucina and robin since now I dont need Silver Mario anymore I Really hope the order doesnt get canceled..its not our fault they posted it..now I will keep my iPod Touch turned on just in case other goodies decide to pop up today..really want lucina and robin, I can live without Greninja, not going to take the bus to TRU for ONE amiibo, but if I can get Jigglypuff, Lucina, Robin, and Marth online I am willing to forget Greninja

Don't think they will. They didn't cancel the guy that managed to get the entire wave 4 when they were putting it up. So that gives me hope. Im willing to make the drive since it's not far away. Wouldn't feel bad if that's all I miss. I can always import, or wait for prices to go down. :p

@Lee she's supposed to be put up online on the 29. So theirs still a chance.

I strongly suggest getting Silver Mario on Amazon. Worst case cancel it or trade it or give it away but chances of everybody getting silver mario from Target when it appears to be an error is unlikely at best.

Looking at my order screen for Silver Mario now, not seeing the backordered thing. Only seeing this in regards to delivery:

Estimated Delivery: Arrives on or up to 5 days after release date.

EDIT: Yeah, mine is like paul's above.

My jiggly said back ordered, and was shipped yesterday. It could turn out entirely different, but I wouldn't worry too much for now. Still, I'll jump on the Amazon silver Mario just to be safe. I can cancel, or trade it without too much issue. The Amiibo life.

you have to go on your mobile app to see the bad news
 
I got alerted in School that you could get Silver Mario via the Target app. I just got home from school and downloaded the Target app, I didn't think he'd be still available but I thought it'd be worth a shot

I'm not believing that I just got Silver Mario until he ships.

Your looking at the wrong page, you have to go on your mobile app, click on your name, check order status, it will say processing, but when you check details, prepare to be sad

lol yep, when i look at it on my phone it does say backordered. oh well, we'll see what happens!

Is there a way to do this if you did it as a guest? I don't have an actual Target account. I mean, I'm not surprised or anything, though. Hopefully, it ends up being like others have mentioned with Jigglypuff and not mean much. Don't have a lot of faith in that, though.

Yep that's the right mindset for any Amiibo you order online ;p

Nope, I checked out as a guest (which is weird as I used the same email as my actual account in my rush to get it ordered) and the "backordered" screen they're talking about it nowhere to be found, only the little pic everyone's posting.
 
So do people actually WANT the silver Mario or is it just trade fodder / "I need it because limited edition!"

It's Metal Mario, breh.
well kinda. lolz
It's the only Mario Amiibo I even want. Silver is not retailer exclusive, gonna be much easier to get than Gold or other rares.

Of course! Need all they new amiibo.
 
From Reddit (about today's Silver Mario orders):

"If your order actually ships let me know, because there are honestly 0 in the Fulfillment Centers."

I assumed that something was up but :(

I've actually straight ignored Gold and silver mario as I already have a smb and smash one. Gold mario I associate with what I think is one of the weakest mario titles and if they actually called silver metal instead I might buy it because I'm weird like that.

Old news. If it ships, it ships. I'm not too worried about being able to find one of these. Although I doubt 1 employee knows everything about every fulfillment center and possible restocks.

Oh I actually didn't know it wasn't an exclusive. I thought it was lol

Well at least it'll make it easier to get for y'all that actually want it.

Did some checking around my town on the situation.

GameStop: LOW. I asked about Lucina & Robin and they were getting ONE OF EACH. Considering they open at 10 a.m. & I don't have class until Noon, not gonna bother.

Target: A bit better. Seems they're getting around "4 each", though the employee said he's not suppose to "officially" say, but Jigglypuff should hopefully be well stocked, considering he mentioned "around 12".

Meijer: Already in, but I have to wait until Friday. I should be taking my sis to school around 7 a.m., so that's most likely going to be my best bet, as Target opens up at 8 a.m., but it's on the other end of town.

Might as well be the same. 12 jigglypuffs wont last 2 minutes.

So a week ago when Wal-Mart had a new batch of Marths I managed to snag one, however I checked the tracking and now Wal-Mart has no idea what they are sending me. Need I be concerned?

Weird, I never got a confirmation that I successfully preordered Jiggly after my attempts to do so, but apparently target is shipping one out to me anyway. I guess they received my order without confirming.

I remember when I went in for Rosalina, they said they sold out in "30 minutes" & "there was a line waiting outside". I'm trying to figure out if I should just buy Robin & Lucina at Meijer, then head up to Target & wait for them to open, then nab Jigglypuff & another Robin since my friends want them & I'm not sure on the limit of them are (I think I can get 3 at Meijer, but I don't know about Target).

Hey my Marth from Walmart came in the mail. No dings or anything to the packaging either so that's good. Now for some of the pre orders to finally ship. I've had none from anywhere ship so far.

Walmart's been great with shipping, I wouldn't worry about it. Got my Marth yesterday.
 
I still don't have a single order that has shipped. Michigan.
Jigg @ Target
Robin / Lucina @ Best Buy
Pac Man / Charizard @ Walmart
Ness @ Gamestop.

Anyone from my side of the country see shipment notification on any of these from these stores?

I have 2x Splatoon 3-pack and the 5 non-exclusive amiibos on pre-order with Best Buy and they've all displayed "status not available" for the past week. I wouldn't worry just yet.
