Yeesh. I want to try that, but I'm not spending ten extra bucks on an amiibo.
Maybe if it was Shulk or Mega Man.

Hahaha, I shall bite then. What is the preffered shipping method? I'll get a Meta seeing as they don't have Mega Man or Shulk.
Also, I assume I put Province instead of state code.
I just remembered I have a 50 Futureshop gift-card that has become almost useless as they just closed up shop here. I know I can order online but I've always had bad experience with them. Plus their amiibo stock is terribad.
My current status is that I have Meta-knight pre-ordered from Future Shop. Sonic, Mega Man and Toad are pre-ordered from Ebgames, and hopefully I can be able to pick up Lucario at TRU this coming Friday. Now my problem is how to acquire Shulk, Wii Fit Trainer, Villager and Marth without having to import or pay scalpers. Other than that, I have 21 amiibos in my collection so far.

Looks like air mail bubble for me.
Welp, that was an exercise in time travel. Now to wait.

Well Marth will get a reprint with Code name Steam. So you just gotta play the waiting game with that. Wii Fit Trainer, and Villager are a different story. We don't know when, or if, they'll get a reprint. Shulk will probably get another reprint just in time for both Xenoblade games. I'd like to think Nintendo will bless us with a reprint for in demand Amiibo from each wave before moving full throttle to the next Amiibo series.
I know importing isn't your thing but if your impatient and don't wanna pay scalpers. which I don't encourage, then that's your only route at this point. You'd just have to find a plentiful source like the other Amazon sites, if those are still viable options now.

Are there any European alternatives for me to utilize in order to get a Mega Man? I see a few but the shipping costs more than the amiibo.
Maybe I will wait and bulk purchase if Wave 4 pre-orders fall through here.

Yeah, I may just have to go the importing route, but right now I am in no hurry to acquire them.

Received Shulk from my EB preorder, already got Toon Link and Sheik from my Amazon order. I was able to get Bowser the day the wave launched, but I do regret not preordering Ike. Also really regret not ordering Captain Falcon when i had the chance, oh well!
Pretty stoked Marth is getting a reprint when Code STEAM comes out, will definitely get it then.

They cost way too much now so I'm happy to just get both Amiibo instead.
Oh hey check out this scum with 6 rosalinas and 12 shulks (and more!)
How does one even get that many shulks? Anyone who ordered more than 1 was only given 1 with the rest to be delivered "in a few weeks".

Read the thread, he's a scumbag EB employee selling them for $100 each.
On a side note I caved and bought DDD and Ike off superufo. $38 US chose airmail. $48 CAD. Whatever.
WFT shipped
now to wait 2-3 weeks
Where did you get it?

Yeah, the Vancouver thread goes by pretty slow. There was a meet up last year I believe but I missed it.

Since other amiibos aren't really rare outside of North America I can't justify picking them up unless I really can't find ones I want to use in-game. (Nintendo sent me a Mario amiibo a few weeks before Smash Bros. for Wii U came out and all I want is a Sonic, Mega Man, and Pac-Man so I can have all the big mascots together).
Well, that and the Rosalina I snagged because I like having cool things for my shelves.

CANADIAN AMIIBO UPDATE
Not much on the Canadian front today.
Future Shop may get in Toon Link, Shiek and Bowser. So check in on that.
EB Games got Rosalina yesterday, but if your local store(s) didn't then it could show up today.
Toys R Us had all of Wave 3 and Rosalina in store on Tuesday, so if your location didn't get them in yet then you should check again today.
Wal Mart is supposed to get Wave 3 tomorrow, so no harm in checking today in case they are put on the shelves early. I honestly believe they will only get Toon Link, Shiek and Bowser, just like Future Shop.
I am hoping for EB Games to announce Sonic and Mega Man available for preorder pick up in store today or tomorrow. Then I'm just waiting on Shulk (Gamestop USA) and Meta Knight (Future Shop Canada) to complete my Wave 3 collection.

Any reason why they wouldn't get the rest of Wave 3 including Rosalina? I was going to check it out later but my hopes and dreams are slowly fading lol.

Great post. This information lines up with everything I've heard as well.
There were a lot of Bowser's and two Toon Link's at my Future Shop last night. I picked up Toon Link, was going to pass on him as I already have too many Link's but the figure looked too good!
Edit: Also glad to see you are posting in this thread too Byron
Actually I passed by Futureshop twice yesterday because I happened to be in the area and both times they had no Wave 3. I asked an employee about them and he pretty much told me that Amiibos are seasonal things and they don't get much after the holidays. He then proceeded to show me the Skylander section. Clearly he had no idea what he was talking about. This was in Montreal by the way.

lionpants, where are you located?
Southern Ontario Toys R Us received their Lucario shipments and will put them on the shelves tomorrow morning.
About an hour west from Toronto.
Source?
Same! Plan on getting there maybe an hour before opening. Think it'll be busy?

LOL, I did the same thing. *High Five*
I have an "important appointment" tomorrow from 8 - 10.
Same store as me? Hopefully it's not too busy. Maybe it'll snow again which would quell some of the lesser fanatics. Not me though.
Nippon Yasan. there's a link from yesterday and iunno if it's already gone. It's Japanese tho ;_;

Considering they sold all their Wave 3 between 6 PM and closing, im going to guess its going to be busy. Good luck and keep us posted, I dont want Lucario that badly.

Seems like their shipment for those won't be in yet.
FS Twitter confirmed yesterday those would be the only ones arriving this week.

Eventually I'll build a custom cabinet with dowels to hang them off of. Put for now in my shitty apartment I'll just use tacs on a wall.
Don't believe it. My FS says they have stock of sonic. Went to the store and they had none, not even in the back. It's not an accurate inventory system.

My source at the 1 TRU in my town is getting 22, seems that they distributed the same amount to all stores.
My town has a population of 100 000, so it does kinda suck we get as many as a city like Toronto but there are more TRU stores in Toronto.

Dammit, mine is still in "preparing for shipment"...

Maybe not Sonic, but Shiek is definitely supposed to be in this week. Call them?
