Anyone in GVR want to trade adapter for my sealed (box DMG slightly) Metaknight? I will never get one at this rate

Back in Winnipeg after what seems like an eternity. Getting settled in and thought I would share some goodies that were waiting for me when I got home. (I bought Donkey Kong and Villager in Tokyo.)

They're so nice!

Got my Robin and Lucina cancelled today. Joy. The EB guy was quick to say it was all Nintendo's fault.

I don't really care who's fault it is. These companies should be working together to fix the problem, not playing the blame game.

I'd actually consider that trade in the GTA. I bought two adapters, used one for a day, and decided that I prefer the Pro Controllers.

I wonder if Nintendo is aware of how much blame they're getting at the hands of EB Games.

I still haven't received any call regarding the status of my Robin, Lucina and Ness... I'm still riding it out as honestly, I'm afraid to call and learn the news.

amiiboCanadaGAF - JOIN US FOR LINE CHAT AND ALERTS

I've put together 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 (I can't find you using that name). 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 for Best Buy 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. EB Games had a confirmed restock of Gold Mario yesterday (Wednesday April 15th).


GAMECUBE CONTROLLER WII U ADAPTERS
They have been appearing in stores at EB Games throughout Canada with many people here getting them in store over the past few days. Go take a look!



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

Thanks! If anyone is missing any Wave 1-3 unicorns, PlayAsia and YesAsia put many more up again last night and I added them in. No WFT, Villager, Falcon or Little Mac tho. But they added Dedede, Pit, etc.

Search your local EB Games, they got a restock this week and there might be some left. Use the online stock checker.

I have a spare adapter in GTA if anyone needs.

And a helluva lot of Gold Mario. Haha. He is common as dirt it seems. Maybe I just hold them until Christmas.

Finally heard back from Amazon and was told that all of my Wave 4 pre-orders could not be reinstated after they were cancelled by Amazon. So, just a heads up: if you pre-order something and Amazon cancels it because they suspect (for whatever reason) that there is unusual activity on your account, don't expect them to fix it your pre-orders.

Back to square one. How the hell do I pre-order Wave 4 now? I just really want Lucina.

Wait for Best Buy order to go live and PRAY you can get your orders in before the site crashes.

Ugh, I forgot I ordered a 2nd Gold Mario from Walmart, and now it just shipped... I thought I could exchange them for some of the rarer amiibos I'm missing, but no dice. It looks like it's almost a common after all, nobody's interested.

I'll have to bring both back to store. If you're in Montreal and really want a Gold Mario because you missed all the restocks for some reason, send me a PM before I bring them back tomorrow!
