Weird, the store I went to handed out tickets and it was a strict 1 per person for each figure it seemed.
I was there, and there was about 60 people in line before it opened. they only allowed one per customer, and we all got a greninja.
Getting those amiibo second thoughts 
Well Robin, Charizard and Lucina arrived from amazon completely fine (Robin packaging was stuck under the flap of the box and came perfectly fine, praise my Canada Post delivery man). Now I have to run down to EB to pick up (assuming they're there) Splatoon 3-pack and Ness. Also probably the game because thanks a lot BB.
I'm gonna need a close up of other Robins because the hair paint looks chipped.

Well I feel better at least knowing it wasn't just a couple people, the guy at the desk was prolly sick of answering that question lol

Has anyone got charged or shipped status from bestbuy yet? I'm in a world of shit if they don't ship my robin/lucina =/
Greninja is up for those that want it.
I find it funny that it goes up as I'm about to leave but I don't want it so it's fine. Should I put down an order for someone?

Just got back from my TRU. I was told about 50 people waited in line before opening.
Plenty of Greninja and Silver Mario still on the shelf, plus all the others (no Lucina or Robin and only 1 Wario).
I understand people want to show up early to secure what they want, but if my store is indicative of everywhere else than people should have no trouble getting what they want (today at least).

Lucina and Robin are up too if anyone needs them.
TRU finally started taking amiibo seriously and ordered a lot of everything, aside from the obvious FE characters that were gone right away. At the Yonge and Eg location (lol if we're discussing the same store) in Toronto most figures were in abundance - 100+ Greninja, 50 Silver Mario, and plenty of Splatoon amiibo. Oddly enough I can also mention that Wario was in short supply compared to the rest.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Tired of the false hopes on Greninja...
Add to cart, doesn't add ;.;

looks like TRU may have screwed me, this is so weird I submitted the order and everything but I see nothing as of yet. Not a confirmation email or anything in my paypal account. So bizarre, damn scalpers are going to get me!

Toys are cute and all but I want some sort of new game from the franchise.

I ended up buying the game at eb games so I could play on the weekeend...
Wicked if by chance you are Edmonton or surrounding area based I will gladly meet up to as well. If you don't end up needing it to trade haha
BB is super slow - they haven't charged me for Splatoon either. I just ended up picking up the game when I was at TRU for Greninja.
FS always got me my games day one
Give them time. They were late with my wave 2 and 3 orders. Still got my stuff, albeit post release.

Ok so I *hopefully* got an order in that time around for Greninja. Only Ness left. Here's hoping Greninja's comes in good condition.

I think my Lucina and Little Mac will be my tradebait for ZSS and Palutena if worse comes to worse.

Nope, I'm in Montreal, but it's very nice to see that the chain has stepped it up country-wide.
Got back from EB, and apparently they didn't get enough Ness and Charizard to fill every order. He assured me that I will 100% still be getting one (Charizard) but they will only be arriving in mid-June.
Also Codename STEAM is definitely marked down. The cashier guessed that with the new Fire Emblem Amiibo being compatible, it might have been an attempt to spur some new sales in it (which sucks because the adapter doesn't come out until the Fall, and I will have long stopped playing by then).

Got my Char and Diddy from amazon, and they put them in the box the most awkward way possible, completely killed the cards, but had they flipped them they would have fit perfectly and not moved or bent the cards o_o
These things are collectors nightmare fuel I swear...

EB Games and Wal-mart have nothing. Toys 'R' Us is the best place to go. The fat Asian scalper from last time was there, but they imposed a "1 of each" limit per customer. I managed to get a Wario and the Inkling Three-pack.
I'm keeping all of them ! But I still need a Marth.

I grabbed a little mac from nippon yasan, he's about $33 with shipping, thats like $5 more than if I bought and paid shipping locally /shrug
They had Pit for the same price but he sold out as I was checking out, ah well thats one rare out of the way finally.
Edit: Oh I thought I'd add if you choose small packet/sal shipping you win, I've never had tax or duty and gotten quite a few from them when they aren't marked up to crazy prices.
