Uh-ohlooks like I spoke too soon. Just received a follow-up from Walmart:
Well then: queuing at TRU it is.

What the hell?! So on the off chance you did get an order in it's probably being cancelled /facepalm
I'm so close to just canning all my wave 4 pre-orders and calling it quits....
Edit: oh nice there's suddenly a bunch of new auctions on ebay for $65 Jigglypuffs... fml

I preordered Lucina and Robin.
I just received an e-mail for Out of Stock Robin.
Will Walmart try their best to supply this for people who preordered? I mean we have until the 29th right? They can take away from store stock to fulfill these online preorders right?
Good they didn't touch my waifuu Lucina. I can't lose her.

Thanks for the info. The error message on Walmart's site wasn't clear at all.
i'm probably jinxing it by saying this, but I didn't get any backorders

Oh yeah totally forgot about this. Wasn't getting up at 6 anyway.

Now the question is:
Will Walmart be able to fulfill the backorders on amiibo preorders?
There's 15 days for Walmart to allocate stock from stores to their distribution center.
Surely online preorders should get first priority.

I found out why everything sold out so fast.
I had a Jigglypuff preordred on April 24th off Walmart.ca and I got the delayed email too. I called them when they announced the May 15th preorders and said that all delayed ones will be fulfilled with the stock going up today.
Low and behold my Jigglypuff is now Order in Progress on my profile on their site instead of Backordered.
So anyone with that email had theirs fulfilled today and that likely took a lot of stock right off the bat.
Anyone else luck out like this?

Double checked my order on the Jigglypuff that I ordered today and it says Order in Progress

According to a reddit user who works at TRU, most stores will get at least 60 greninja.
I would be really surprised if it's true but who knows...

If you didn't get a delayed email about the "if we don't have it in the next 28 days it will be cancelled" thing then you're fine.
What I am talking about are previous pre-orders before today's.
I ordered a Jigglypuff when it went up last on Wal Mart Canada's website on April 24th, but got one of those delayed emails right after.
When talking to their customer service after hearing about today's pre-orders when they were announced 2 weeks ago they said that any orders that had been back ordered before will be fullfilled with the May 15th (today's) stock.
I was highly doubtful at first, but sure enough my order from April 24th changed from "Backordered" to "Order in Progress" today shortly after the pre-orders went live and I called them to confirm.
This is likely why the pre-orders dissapeared so quickly as many people got these emails from the previous pre-order waves. So immediately a huge amount of stock was taken for these backordered pre-orders.
Hurray!
Same with my initial Jigglypuff order, it's now "Order in Progress". It may have been changed before today since I never re-checked it.

It was likely today that it changed just like mine.
Hopefully you guys had some luck this morning. Was ready to go at 9am, but Walmart took their sweet time. Once they started popping up my boss called me for an impromptu meeting. Missed everything again! Although I'm glad I didn't have to experience them selling out in the blink of an eye while at my computer.

With no limits, it doesn't matter whether there are 60 per store or 6.

TRU (at least in my area) were very strict on a 1 per person for Licario and Wave 3. I doubt this will be any different. They had employees hand out each individual one in order of the line.

I miss the days when we could preorder well in advance and there was only a mad scramble if you missed the month or so window of preordering what you wanted
This sold out in 5-10 minutes shit is ridiculous. This wave I have only secured like half the Amiibos I want. Going down the line there are a couple I really want and hope they are especially not retailer exclusives.So you're saying there's a chance..

Good. It will be easier to trade then.
It would cost me more to skip work than buy from a scalper if I had to lol.

Pretty sure it sold out half an hour ago. If not then, it's gone now.

Just put an order in for one also, plus the 20% off with Visa Checkout is eligible (though I did pay the $5 for shipping).
Hopefully we luck out.
Do they honor price errors? Can you cancel preorders on the site at all or do you have to call it in?

I didn't use Visa Checkout because if they cancel it I'll likely lose the promo.
Order 2 for free shipping or just ship to store.

When an item is shipped to the store, do you pick it up in a box, or just get the item itself?
Also, just tried it, apparently the promo works more than once.

They don't give it to you in a box. At least that's what I remember when I picked up Hyrule Historia in-store.
That was my reaction too. I already have two down payments on my EB Games order and was gonna do a third soon.
