For the new page! Direct links to each amiibo on Best Buy's website might help some with the forced orders.

Whole bunch of regulars haven't popped into the thread yet this morning. Are they just busy trying or unaware at all that there's been a loop found?

My browser never got hung up. I suspect there's more traffic to the site at this point.
Meh, oh well. I keep getting gateway timeouts now.
I have stuff to do today, so I surrender.
Yeah, I bet a lot of lurkers saw the posts in here and are trying it now.

I gave up, just have a hunch that they have already fixed the glitch
Just got the email confirmation as well.

There's a possibility of order cancellations.
EDIT:
At checkout. Order Processing won't go through. I get the following:
The following errors occurred:
Please enter an address in the Shipping Address section. (0085)
I keep refreshing but the loop never breaks.

Just enter your address again and try again! That's the last loop and it should work.
I've repeatedly done that. It always ends up with an error. I get the spinning wheel of confirming the order, and it errors back.
I wonder if having multiple items is decreasing my chance. I notice that sometimes the "cannot ship" error only shows once, and sometimes two or three times.
Hmm... Guess not. I notice sometimes the error shows four times despite only having three items in cart!
Oh well, I was just doing it for fun. Already have Lucina and Robin ordered from Japan. What I really want is Walmart orders to go live. I'm looking for Jigglypuff and maybe Charizard.

No reported successes here, LINE or Reddit in almost 1.5 hours or more. I think they fixed it

WAL OF TEXT INCOMING - EB DISCUSSION FROM SOURCE
I've provided details here before about EB Games Canada inside details. I am a friend with an inside source at corporate and he has given me a lot of details. Mods feel free to send me messages as no one did last time or replied to me when I asked for verification.
The previous one being the 33% pre-order fulfillment rate from the uncontrolled Easter Weekend pre-order fiasco.
This time he is telling me that competitors from Sony, Microsoft, Ubisoft, Warner Bros. Interactive and more are using the whole Amiibo debacle as a point to show they know their proper allocations and new items won't be in short supply and create issues like this. Attacking Nintendo a lot. Lego Dimensions presentations have focused the most on this.
He says this is both a marketing tool for them but also believes the competitors are legitimately afraid about the issues created between amiibo preorder cancellations and fulfillment issues creating serious customer dissatisfaction and losing them as customers.
He also told me that many staff are being called and threatened with violence. Do not resort to that ever. That is not worth the harassment and hurt to employees that did nothing wrong.
Finally one other thing was that the supply of amiibo that had been going to Target and Future Shop (both recently gone or reduced) is not being seen in any way. No increase of supply to EB or other retailers from their discussion. Weird stuff they don't even know why. Seems Canada is getting even less stock.
Finally he confirmed that the demand EB received that weekend and the cancellations have been sent to Nintendo and they have told them about the customer dissatisfaction and how much $ they could be making.
Also there won't be in store preorders anymore. He doesn't do anything with the website.
Anyways. Lots of interesting stuff!

Anyone know my remaining options to get Ness, Jigglypuff and Greninja internationally? I found out today that I'm 22nd in line at my local EB for Ness, so I'm not feeling confident about my chances domestically.
Byron Bluth

Ness you can get here from YesAsia. Japanese version, ships in July and will cost about $30 CAN.
http://www.yesasia.com/global/wii-u...s-japan-version/1038530124-0-0-0-en/info.html
Greninja and Jigglypuff have been pretty much sold out internationally. Only Amazon UK hasn't put them up. That's the last real chance.

Nintendo likes to incite violence. Sure it will be promoting their famous amiibo but they sure do like getting scalpers money and pissing off its fanbase. Would be good to get a spokeman to assess the situation realistically and attempt to quell the squabble over these plastic figures before walls start being painted red.

It's all intentional so people will stop saying Nintendo is kiddy! They now want to associate Nintendo with blood, sweat and tears.

How safe is yesasia, never ordered from them before.
Are they really good and provide excellent service?
Just ordered Ness, Lucina, and Lucina Figma from them.

They are one of the better importing sites. I wouldn't worry.

If you set it up right you will get notifications with an alert sound whenever we post a link for a preorder that goes live. So you don't have to check it.
Invite sent! One for the group chat and one for alerts!
First time posting on NeoGaf! Still figuring it out. Took forever for approval. I live in Sarnia, ON and avid Amiibo collector and collector or many things Nintendo. I'm a gaymer and looking for help securing the next and future waves of Amiibo since I just got a new full time job and can't be checking the forums as often. I joined LINE, can someone send me an invite? Same as my username on NeoGaf. I've also got an extra Gold Mario I can do at cost and shipping. Anyway, glad I can finally post on here!

Same. Either they did something like a temp ip block(which was stupid) or server was crashed badly and no technical guy at BB noticed

Ivan? I just sent you invites to both groups! The chat one and the alert one
