You know the sad shit about this is that wave 4 is only going to get worse. Amazon.co.uk orders sell out in a few minutes, so I can't even imagine what will happen when all the other stores start doing it.

Only 2 people got her from EB's website, don't feel too bad. Check your local store's stock, apparently some stores have her.

on the site, all stores are showing sold out lol
might be better just to call in and check as they'll probably have more updated info/stock

The EBgames at Dundas and Yonge (Toronto) already had a group of people waiting for Rosalina. Just waiting for the god damn shipment to arrive. The Amiibo craze is indeed real.

Yeah, scoped it out after someone mentioned looking for something to fill the cart out with to qualify for free shipping.

I just hope we get some warning. I'd be heartbroken to wake up and find out a major Canadian retailer sold out of pre-orders without my even hearing about it.

This is why i'm keeping my Dedede and Rosalina sealed just in case I need to trade one of them for a Lucina or Zero Suit Samus

Yeah, it's insane. lol

If not for that FS thing that happened the other day, I'd probably be much more stressed out about it than I am now.

I knew this would happen eventually...

I popped by TRU just to inquire about Lucario on Friday. This guy follows me in, looking shady, and stands close enough to hear my conversation. After my discussion with the CSR, he asks me which ones I'm looking for and proceeds to try and sell me some.. For insane prices. I told him "you're out of your damn mind. Get an actual job." And. I left the store. Even the CSR gave him a look after he heard him trying to sell me Amiibos.

I feel like I'm outside the ACC surrounded by scalpers. Might as well start yelling: "Amiibos here! Get your Amiibos!"

Scalping in real life is a whole 'nother level of craziness, disgusting.

I'm not even risking waiting for Canada. If I can get it locally, great, but I'm okay paying extra to get one.

Although Japanese sites are scalping the fuck out of them. lol

Hah, that makes sense. I have a Little Mac that I sort of could keep or save that serves the same purpose.

So last chance for Rosalina is now Walmart?

TRU already got theirs instores so I don't think they'll be doing online.

Wow. That feeling I'm getting over trying to secure Wave 4. Nintendo better pump up the quantities for these.

And now with people picking up extras for future trades...yowsers. That's something that never happened with Skylanders (to my knowledge) and my understanding is that Disney Infinity is readily available.

Will QA for food.
Dedede is a super cool figure. It's shorter than a lot of them, but it's super heavy. The paint job on mine is a bit suspect, but I'm not a big stickler for slight imperfections.

It's crazy, but... I'd have no shot at a Rosalina if I hadn't by happenstance picked up a spare Mac for a friend of mine when my TRU had one (they actually had 5, and I bought 3... in hindsight I should have gotten all five), so I'm trying to hedge by bets by getting extras when possible.

I'm tempted to keep my sealed Wave 3 NA that I was planning to open as a second sealed set for trades, too, and trying to import them... which is absolutely ridiculous sounding.

I hate Nintendo. lol

And I'm not even trying to collect them all. I'm not even going to bother with the fabled last wave full of obscure characters like Game and Watch. It'll be a bloodbath for those.

So how would you go about finding out when preorders are happening with Wave 4? All I want is Charizard and Wario.
Click to expand...
I'd do this if you really want Wario and can afford it:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00SSU65QC/

I got a Lucina this way (still missed out on others), but it's one thing less I need to think about. Shipping is about 5 pounds to Canada.

Everyone in the other Amiibo thread are discussing buying from amazon.ca for American addresses. Looks like we're going to have an even worse time trying to get wave 4 if Americans and any other international shoppers start buying from our online stores. Ta

Tl;dr- theres a storm coming

Apparently they don't ship to the US, according to someone in that thread.

I had no idea that Amazon,co,jp doesn't ship internationally either for amiibos, so dope.

I've ordered from UK a few times and haven't had to pay. But YMMV on that stuff.

And yeah, it sucks. Of course if I can get a local order, I will. But it's still better than paying the inevitable 50 dollar scalper prices.

The only ones I really want left are Ganondorf and Duck Hunt, and I have a feeling I'm going to have to go to Europeland like I have earlier, if it's come to this.

So what are the best options for importing Rosalina & Luma? I'm looking for a copy I'm going to bust open and use so I'm not picky about packaging...

haha, i'll have an extra meta knight too for anyone who wants one. cost plus shipping usually equates to about $30-35, depending on where it goes. Canada Post is the fucking worst.

oh, i have a little mac and Wii Fit Trainer too. Cost plus shipping

It's pretty fitting that I was in Winnipeg when Rosalina launched in the US... and now I'm here when she's out there. Dammit all to hell.

Those are severely tempting... But I think I'm going to start limiting myself to the ones I truly do want, as opposed to collecting all of them. If you had a Falcon, I'd be all over that :p I am interested in the Shulk, but the member you offered it to has first rights to your offer.

Not my local one (as of yesterday), but I'll have to double check today and maybe get a few for some GAFfers here

St. Vital EB in Winnipeg has one Rosalina left in stock. Was hoping they could hold it until my wife got out of work but they said they can't. Frown.
