Sweet, my registration went through this morning! Hello Canadian Amiibo discussion thread. I've been into Amiibo since around a week before wave 3 started. I currently own every Amiibo released for Smash (though I went through Japan sellers for the hard ones) and have everything but Jigglypuff and Greninja pre-ordered for wave 4. I was third in line at my EB Games for the Smash wave 4 pre-orders and confirmed that my order is safe. Oh and I'm located in Edmonton.

For anybody in the Edmonton area, I have the following that I got extras of and would be happy to sell at cost. Or cost + shipping for those outside of Edmonton:

DeDeDe (Japanese so it'll cost more: $35)
Sheik (Japanese so it'll cost more: $32)
Sheik
Sonic (Japanese so it'll cost more: $33)
Sonic (I have 2)
Megaman (I have 3)
Lucario (I traded a Japanese Rosalina for this, so I'll need the Japanese Rosalina price of $30.Note: the card has a bend in the top left)

At least I have two extras that aren't common haha... Oh yeah, and I'd like to be a part of the Line group as well. I have the same username on there as I do here.

I look forward to being part of the community, thanks everyone!

Slightly off topic but please talk me out of this Canuck Amiibo GAF. As a figure collector (of Amiibo) and a Dragon Ball Z fan, I don't think I can walk away from this.

I think you should totally buy them. In fact I think you should get 2 of each so you can open one pair and keep a second pair sealed.

I'm evil.

I disagree. He should buy three. One to open, one to keep in package, and one to sell when it's worth a lot of money.

Should be five then. One to open, one to keep in package, one to sell, one for backup, and one for whatever use you want to do.

I have two that I managed to slip in the "crack", Robin and Lucina, these two will (most likely be) harder to get than the others.

Do I want BB to go through with this order? Hell yeah. Do I expect BB to go through with this? well... most likely it will be cancelled. Hoping for a miracle though.

Basically someone says that people were able to add it to cart and order wave 4 amiibo.

Some people say that they "hack" bestbuy to get their orders in.

One says that the entire thing was made up and people who was able to order were lying.

Nothing "official"

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 last week (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!



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.



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

Hey Byron, any clue how yesasia's policy is for cancelling preorders? Thinking of preordering Robin/Lucina as a backup since ebgames flaked out

Store credit only, if done through PayPal you can dispute it and get money back through PayPal's methods.
http://www.yesasia.com/us/customer-...-policy/0-0-0-hti.672-en/question-answer.html

Good experiences by most, but importing is always a gamble since all importers have issues with packages being late, missing, damaged or orders being cancelled and having to deal with PayPal.

Amazon EU and International sites are always the best and safest.

Well I just called a friend who is a BestBuy District Manager, he says they are aware of the issue and the reason preorders haven't gone up is because you tools tried to glitch, he says the preorders should of been up but they had to delay it as they are in the process of cancelling all the orders.
He also said unless they use a new IP/nee bb account/new cc with different name and different address when the real preorders go up there you used your 1 quantity limit and you are getting nothing.
Well my mind is at ease, have fun paying scalper prices because you were to impatient to wait your turn. Patients is a virtue.....

I doubt that BB checks for IPs and credit card for multiple order.

because you tools tried to glitch,
Click to expand...

Come on "tried to glitch"... we pressed check out a couple of times and it worked. Adding from compare has been there forever too.

IMO, the work it would take to cancel all orders where all those people would just reorder would just be a waste of work hours for them, as they won't be making more money if they cancel any order.

I believed it until the IP part, doubt they would go through that trouble. I guess we will see though.
Click to expand...

Yeah. That seems like a WHOLE lotta trouble for a $15 toy. So how would they differentiate between someone ordering an amiibo and a DVD? I'm no web expert, but that sounds like a whole bunch of headaches. Likely scenario is that they wipe the orders. And if they're out to teach people a lesson (really...what lesson? it was their incompetence that allowed these to go through...I digress) they'll just cancel orders after the pre-sale sells out. That would be far easier I would think.
