Best Buy and Wal Mart are the only ones left for Canada right?
The Source seems to be too random to know. No more Future Shop. TRU won't do preorders.

BB shipped mine, FS no word - no charges yet tho. Also no word from Walmart - I stocked up in case something fell thru.

Videogameplus? they have Greninja on their site....https://www.videogamesplus.ca/amiibo-greninja-figure-super-smash-bros-toy-p-22935.html

I don't see how they could be selling that unless it is another region.
But in reality we haven't actually had confirmation from TRU Canada about Greninja. And nothing about Jigglypuff either. Although she has popped up in the Wal Mart inventory in store.

I'm predicting TRU will put some online like they did with Lucario because otherwise I am totally fucked.

Amazon is now charging credit cards for Gold Mario.
Should also note that I stopped in at our Walmart here and talk my friend that manages the video department. He's heard no word whatsoever about them receiving Gold Mario. He did say that since the release date is tomorrow, it's possible they receive a shipment later today.
They did mention on their twitter that they weren't going to be available in store but with these amiibos...anything is possible. https://twitter.com/WalmartCanada/status/585787588327399424

Chapters has amiibos listed, nothing for wave 4 is up there. I can't imagine they would get that many anyways

I know for a fact the Walmart I work at isn't getting any.

And I caved and ordered Pit, Marth, Ike, and Shulk off of PlayAsia. I am surprisingly okay with the price $134.40 for 4 amiibo and shipping. It's cheaper than anywhere else I could find. Now I just need Jigglypuff and Greninja and I'll be set until Wave 5 goes up.

I've updated the list above. I'll do so as people post their experiences with retailers here.
Thanks a lot for the info! Hope this will work!

Greninja already gone, haha.
Thanks sold out already... Probably a good thing as I just dropped 130 bucks on play Asia.

Wow, went in like minutes. I'm glad I had an account for them from 5 years ago. lol
Bonus is that they are selling at MSRP and not at the 5 pound mark up that everyone else was selling at.

Guess the lull last month made me think the craze had died down somewhat. Preorders are still selling out in minutes.

amiiboCanadaGaf - LINE
I've put together a LINE chat and alert together. Send me a PM if you want to join! Just include your LINE handle.
It is a great chat service. Alerts help a lot when being away. So you would get an alert of ZAVVI preorders for instance, as a text message. I never used it myself before amiibo and now I love it. You will love stickers. Trust me.
I am part of the LINE alerters for the main amiibo OT. So all bases are covered here and you can help alert too!
Google LINE for all the details. Available on pretty much anything, mobile too.

Any idea how much shipping will be? I'm really trying to pay only (canadian) retail price for amiibos, or as close to it as possible, but if shipping is cheap, that's very tempting...
I have the tab on standby. Thanks. I hate using UPS but this maybe an exception.

cant wait the twist that they decide not to ship them internationally
that being said, I have the tab ready

Nintendo: "Nah we've already given you enough Ness amiibo. You wanted Peach right? I'm pretty sure you need more Peach."
Yeah Canada post, their packaging are way way better than TRU or EB games and it's inexpensive too.

Well I just got a shipping notice from Amazon for Gold Mario. I also got one for the book that I ordered with Lucina (that amazon separated to ensure Lucina wouldn't arrived damaged). Got a gut feeling I'm going to have a crushed and banged up Gold Mario showing up on Tuesday.
