I don't think we will hear anything from EB today

You mentioned you were spamming their twitter for a response. They probably just wanted to pacify you for now. They also just commented that they will have more info soon about gold mario. How soon is now?

Posted by a mod and confirmed by BB corporate. This is from the USA BB, hopefully Canada as well.

Oooh, this would be nice!

Awesome. My original US pre-order got cancelled for some reason, so hopefully I can snatch this to complete the first wave US version retailer exclusives.

 

[Zing]

An hour ago wasn't the story that they weren't going to have any in store at all?

We really need to give an EB employee a GAF membership.

Two totally opposite stories within an hour. It's official, no one can be trusted.

 

[thebisonxrc]

No doubt. Keep those fingers crossed. Foolishly, I kind of hope they'll do the same for a few other hard-to-find amiibos.

 

[GunFalcon]

anyone in VANCOUVER BC interested in trading a ness for a captain falcon or metaknight? I should have an extra ness coming in

Saw some standalone regular SMB Marios today at TRU, if anyone was looking.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

I have a friend travelling in Japan. Are Amiibos pretty abundant there, and are the prices pretty consistent (after exchange rate)? I know they're region free and don't care about the packaging.

I just want a Robin from this wave, am I too late?

I'm in the exact same boat. I'll be in Tokyo next week and I'd love to pick up some amiibos, but I can't seem to find any solid information about which specific stores to check out. If I come across anything, I'll let you know.

Ask about it in the main Amiibo thread. I'm sure someone brought it up at some point.

ALL JAPANESE VERSIONS. NO CANCELLATIONS


Wave 4 and Pit were also posted but sold out quick. These originally went up at 4am EST

 

[LegendOfGood]

Thanks. Ordered Japanese Marth!

I guess I am safe from more EB Online cancellations.

For $10 more you can buy it immediately from Ebay, if you don't want to wait until June.

Any info on Greeninja? It's the one my little bro really wants.

We haven't heard anything from EB about online or in-store Wave 4/Splatoon pre-orders.

Nothing is safe yet.

EBGames never opened online pre-orders for Lucina and Robin at any point, did they?

They only did for Wario, Pac-Man and Ness... can't remember if Splatoon was up

EB Games had the following online

-Ness
-Pac-Man
-Wario

-3 Pack Splatoon
-Girl Inkling
-Biy Inkling

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Alright, thanks. Do we expect them to be up soon? And without warning? Or has the in-store pre-order fiasco messed things up?

Shipped to the border store 45 minutes away. Used my Canadian billing address and CC.

Hooooray!!!!

Which is great that you can do that. There's probably a number of us that goes into a brief moment of panic only to realize it's a US store that's not shipping directly to Canada.

How many were you able to order? Did they have one per account restrictions?

 

[Sealtest]

So target's site changed my address from # PO number to Unit PO Number.

And i know from past experiences USPS will refuse orders like this. Wonderful.

lol it's all good. I'm getting a little paranoid with wave 4. I've been busier and having a harder time keeping up with amiibo updates compared to wave 3, so I'm worried I'm going to miss them.

According to the other thread, some people tried to add two to their carts, but the site reduced it to one automatically.

With regard to Jigglypuff, do we have any Canadian news?

I would think they will spread it equally between multiple retailers, no? Similar to Rosalina?

Sorry, I was trying to buy it while posting that so I didn't have time for small details.

Also Target doesn't exist in Canada anymore so I thought people would realize.

It was 1 per order, couldn't get anymore.

I figured it was a quick post. Appreciated. Been saying for the longest time I need a boarder box. Not sure why I continue to procrastinate.

Nintendo Direct - Post Amiipocalpyse Day 7

How has everyone made out so far since the direct? It's been one hell of a past week since that Direct aired and it isn't over yet for many!


My Battle Report

Amazon Canada
-SSB Wave 4 (minus exclusives)
-Splatoon (Singles and 3 Pack)

EB Games Canada
-Ness - Online
-SSB Wave 4 + Ness (minus other exclusives) - In Store
-Splatoon (Singles and 3 Pack) - In Store

Amazon Germany
-Pink Wool Yoshi

Amazon France
-Greninja

Target
-Jigglypuff


I'm in very good shape!

I was second in line at my EB this past Saturday, so unless they only get one of a certain Amiibo I am good to go. Highly unlikely to happen. So for now my Amazon Canada order is my back up and I will likely keep the online EB Ness to sell to a Gafer at cost (no PMs now).

Just need that NA Greninja!!! I will give my French one to a Gafer at cost (will be more since it is an import) if I can secure an NA one.

If you're near where I am in Thunder Bay, then Ryden's Border Store 5 minutes from the Pigeon River border crossing can't be too far?

Yeah no worries, it was obvious that it was Target.com since Target here never had a site anyways.

Nah. My best bet would be International Falls.

Hey Byron, just noticed you got two orders with EB Games.. are both of yours still good? I also did an in store/online order but just hoping one won't get cancelled. The only thing that would be the same for both of my orders would be the phone # I gave
