Yeah I ended up cancelling mine. I debated for the longest time but, while the figure is neat they will most likely have a "complete" edition by the end of the year.

Yeah. There's that. I think what I wish I knew before ordering was if the Coarse figure is a limited edition. I haven't paid full price (obviously this is even more) for a game in a long long time.

PS4.

Checking out the stream on IGN right now...Erren Black looks great. How can you go wrong with a cowboy?

One of my Gold Mario showed up today. Never got a cancellation from Wal-Mart so I assume the second will show up in the next day or so. I'll wait for the second before I open anything.

They love to troll. Remember last week on monday they said "soon"...Friday the tweet about joining the rewardzone newsletter. They probably will tease/torture us all week. Would be nice to have it narrowed down to a day at least instead of "keep checking".

I may be mistaken but, didn't Gold Mario have it's page up a week before it went live?

Did it? We got a tweet, from both BB and FS, telling us when orders would go live for gold Mario if memory serves. Why break with that now?

Bestbuy responded to a comment on their original tweet for RZ emails. It looks like their original plan of alerting RZ members first isn't abandoned.

We did but, I remember the page going up a few days before they actually put the stock live on the site or sent the email. Mario from the SMB series went up over night without any "testing". They probably just need time to craft the rewardzone email and finalize the artwork.

Yo. Anybody notice how the SMB Bowser amiibo's design is very similar to the Club Nintendo reward Bowser design from a few years back?

Just took this pic:

My Gold Mario has a slight blemish on the right part of the mustache. Anyone's else like that? It's decently sized, must have been a problem with the mold.

Sometimes I don't whether I'm a fan or not of the SMB amiibo. With Luigi, I like his pose. But with Bowser, I don't like his look up close.

Also, if the Best Buy links are up but are waiting for them to go up for purchase, would that be happening this week for sure? Might end up missing this due to work.

So, now I have five of these stupid Gold Marios. What are chances of trading for a Shulk or Rosalina? I may just have to return them.

Yeah. Walmart shipped them all individually, for free. No wonder they are changing their shipping policy.

Haha.. I regret my one Gold Mario that I was hoping to trade. Thank fuck I don't have five. Still hoping I can swap it for something, even if it's just another common I want.

I've got a couple spare boxed Shulks and would likely be willing to trade for a Gold Mario. Is it in good condition? I've seen a few mentions of scuffs and the like.

I suspect there is some selection bias involved. I checked all of my figures and there are no apparent flaws on any of them. No scuffs or marks, and the eyes are straight. I'll PM you.

JOIN US AT amiiboCanadaGAF - LINE CHAT AND ALERTS

I've put together a LINE chat and alert groups. Send me a PM if you want to join! Just include your LINE handle. Please make sure you are sending me your actual username and not your public screenname/handle. Some have sent only the public name and I've let those people know.

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. There is a chat group and an alert group. Feel free to post preorders and restocks in the alerts and keep all regular discussion in the chat. Usually you turn notifications off on the chat and leave it on for the alerts. So when you get a LINE notification you know it's for a preorder and such!

Lets all help keep each other alerted! All are welcome to post alerts in the alert group! Keep chat in the chat group and the alert group is alert posts only.

Google LINE for all the details. Available on pretty much anything, mobile being the focus for on the go alerts.

I've caught up on all requests from PMs as of this morning.

GOLD MARIO
Online sales were popping up all weekend, no live ones currently but keep an eye here or on LINE alerts. If looking in store EB Games and Toys R Us had them available in store. TRU received many more, so that would be the best option at this point if there are any left.



Thanks to all the great alerters here and let's hope for new opportunities this week!

Since BestBuy updated their website a few weeks ago I do get a random, annoying glitch. The loading on top of the "Add to cart" and "Reserve in store" stays forever. Happens on Firefox and Chrome... Sometime I clear the cache and everything, restart and it fixes it. It can however reappear at any reloading of a page. Am I alone who experience this?

I have experienced this before during the Gold Mario pre-order time. It just went away eventually.

I find that every time I add something to my cart it does this. Clearing the bb cookies fixes this for me though.

Heads up, EB seems to have GC adapters in store, as well as a few Villager, Trainer and Pit. Store I go to had 1 of each amiibo.
