I noticed that the Amazon Splatoon game got bumped up to May 29 to match the Amiibo. Just waiting for Palutena and Jigglypuff...

Talked with an amazon rep, they couldn't combine my orders but would refund me the shipping fee instead. So basically now I have 2 orders, one with free shipping

Yeah amazon jp seems to bump all four (3 individual + the tri pack) to May 29th. Wave 4 is still April 29th though.

I think that's the same for all amazon, even amazon ca can't change or combine any of the orders, just refund the shipping.

What I meant was the CSR can't combine, add or delete items.


Here's what they said:
However, due to technical limitations, we're unable to change the item in your order. In this case, I request you to cancel this item from and place a new order for the item you wish to place a new order for.

I wasn't paying attention and didn't even know the inklings went up (and now out). What a bummer.

At least I managed to snag one of the last GC adapters at my local EB.

What is it going to take for Nintendo to finally up the production run on these things?

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.

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!

A friend of mine had a friend in Waterloo who found a Villager (picture with Euro one) and a bunch of other unicorns at a local EB on Wednesday when picking up Mortal Kombat

In Waterloo? If I had known, I would have gone out to the local EBs myself! Maybe I'll just randomly find a Shulk one day while looking.

We will get details from them first at least. Even if the time they say is wrong when they actually go up per usual we should still have an update.

I don't expect the BB ones to go up randomly. Wal Mart tho....
