Just $5 down for each? No weird web in store stuff?
Was the 3 Pack just $5 down too?

So I got all 6 in-store! Plus I wasn't sure if I wanted the triple pack, but I just preordered it just in case. If I don't want it, I can just return it. Buy now, think later.

The closest store to me in Brampton doesn't seem to be open today. I'll go early tomorrow.

I saw freakouts in earlier posts of people pre-ordering some of wave 4 though?

EB Games had some of Wave 4 and Splatoon up but the website kept dieing and they shut it down and when the site came back all of them were gone but orders made will be kept.

Do you think they will be back up some time soon? Or are they down because they are "sold out" for the time being? Also, there was no Lucina or Robin that went up yet, right? I didn't see anyone mention those.

Lucina and Robin are still available at Eaton Centre.
How many people were in line when they opened?

Anybody in the the edmonton area want to help me nab a ness? I have to be somewhere when eb opens today and I really don't want to miss out on him. I'll obviously pay you a bit on top for your troubles!

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
I give up.
Online only for me.
I'm praying we get some info on Jigglypuff. She's one of my favorites along with Ike.

Wait, how do you use the above numbers?

Yup. I did yesterday when I had a lone order for an Inkling Girl and an order with her and Ness.
Online orders will be back up sometime next week according to the EB Facebook account. Charizard, Lucina and Robin were never put up, only Ness, Wario, Pac Man and the all the Splatoon ones.
Search them through their website or in case they tell you they have no idea about preorders in store those are the SKUs they use.
Just got Back from EB Games Eaton Centre. Got Robin, Lucina, Splatoon Pack, Pac Man, and Ness preordered. Feels good mang. Now to wait for online orders to go live so I have backups. The sales associate said Charizard, Robin, and Lucian were in short supply but it was one Amiibo per person so that was pleasant news. Ness and Pacman orders were plentiful, well they were when I was still in line. I think Wario was scares too. Had music playing in my ear when I heard the word.

I I know they're bound to make more of the ones that are in extreme demand, but they'd have to be really on top of that, because, well.. Who the hell doesn't want a Charizard?

I'm so anxious for in store preorders tomorrow. I need to just go sleep until then.
What I'm trying is this.
SMB Yoshi is 719143 so > https://www.ebgames.ca/Toys-Collectibles/Games/719143
So you can replace the number and adding it to https://www.ebgames.ca/Toys-Collectibles/Games/
So charizard should be https://www.ebgames.ca/Toys-Collectibles/Games/718310
But I remember ness is 719568
This is just my speculation.

Winnipeg stuff is closed today. I'd absolutely hate for you to make that trek and discover that.
Just got back from EB Markville, preordered Lucina, Robin, Charizard, Ness, Pacman and Wario. I got there 15 minutes after opening at 11:00 so there were probably 30 people ahead of me. As of 12:00pm they were still taking preorders on everything.
Also they are taking preorders for Silver Mario, but the guy said they really couldn't guarantee if they would get them for sure.

Nah. No worries there. Was there a couple of nights back for my son's allergy appointment and to catch the OK Go concert at the Garrick Center.
Off Topic.
OK Go was a BLAST to watch. Such a great, great, concert. The band was funny as heck and very entertaining. And the confetti...75lbs of it. Just crazy!
First time I've been to the Garrick center. A little run down, but every seat in there would have been great. Nice intimate space. I'll definitely pay more attention to who's playing there.
Glad to hear a lot of people getting their pre-orders!
In Nova Scotia, EB stores are closed for the day. I have to work tomorrow, so I'm going to try to rush in at open and see if I can pre-order Robin and Lucina. Once I get those two, I'm done. I just hope they'll have pre-orders in-store here.

Did you go out checking today? I didn't bother to call EB and see if they were open.
Ugh. The only thing still keeping me in this amiibo game is that I have no idea how I would get my money back on the commons. The rares I could sell, but no one's looking for mario.
Even that is starting to make me waver a bit. Do I really want to spend money on the rest of these. Is it worth the waiting in lines and all that?

I have a fear that all the product for online orders is getting soaked up by retail orders. Someone reassure me.

EB Games Canada is not doing the same things as GameStop USA. These are in store allocations.
Mysterious

Yeah, but if demand is strong, they would start to reallocate stock to meet in-store demand. Of course this doesn't mean online will have 0 stock as in the States, but still as issue nonetheless.
DeathByBacklog

It's pretty hard to take anything that happens in the states as an example as to what will happen here. *fingers crossed*
Again no biggie for the commons. There are still other retailers that we can get those at. It's the FREAKIN' exclusive B.S. that's the problem.
