missed villager, Got marth and fox though.

 

[phoenix296]

Picked up Little Mac, Pit and Capt Falcon. Missed Villager and WFT.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Wii Fit Trainer never went up, unfortunately. Neither did Rosalina. Sucks since those were the only ones I wanted.

 

[JazzmanZ]

Great missed a best buy rare blowout.

I am never going to get a Pit amiibo am i?

You should be a part of the Line alerts so you don't miss stuff.

 

[Deleted member 126221]

Whaaaaat, I missed Little Mac, Villager and Wii Fit Trainer?!

Damnit...

 

[Immortal]

lol

 

[Swapzism]

Anybody in the GTA or Niagara who snagged an extra Villager want to trade for a Little Mac?

if I wasn't already selling my extra Pit from the restocks to my friend, i would've given you the chance =/

 

[Toshin]

welp if my email inbox and bestbuy don't lie I snagged a Mac and Marth among the madness of the last few hours!

Right after I get a Captain Falcon one!

READ: Never

 

[Sora_N]

Nice restock when I'm working as usual.

 

[Stage On]

Arg I finally get some extra shifts for summer for the first time in years and of course I have to miss the restock!!!

 

[Zing]

I find it a little funny that people are clambering for Wii Fit Trainer when it was the one nobody wanted at launch. I could have bought eight of them back then.

Launch day I went to a meijer in detroit and saw 3 boxes with just marth,villager and wii fit trainer. Was told they were the only ones they got and that noone has bought any.

I will forever regret not buying one of each.

I remember doing some Christmas shopping at Target and spotting 2 Little Mac's. Didn't buy one because I didn't think that they were super rare...

 

[i-Jest]

Good to see everyone here, and on LINE GAF, get what they wanted, for the most part. So values for for the rarer Amiibo from past waves is dropping now right?

EDIT:

Stage On, please get me one. Onegai

 

[Renewed]

So Marth and Villager arrived from Best Buy while I was out and the way they were placed it the box had Villager's top of the card bend in a bit but not horribly. Going to get to these once I'm out of my SMT binge.

 

[Maximus.]

Ugh, I have stopped caring on the day to day, but to read such rare Amiibos were restocked like a few hours after I check for updates really bugs me.

 

[CRA5H]

OG Villager > 5-head Villager

OG Villager > 5-head Villager

I don't like Villager in general but it's for my brother. Marth is all mine.

 

[TheGamingBox]

got myself a jigglypuff amiibo at my local walmart, its my first amiibo

NICE. My hat off to your acquisition. My first Amiibo was Wii Fit Trainer back when the trinity first became a thing.

 

[oreomunsta]

First amiibo, and it's a rare. Nice catch!

 

[lionpants]

Dark Pit will be Best Buy exclusive. Yay

where did the confirmation come from?

 

[ReddishGUI]

where did the confirmation come from?

bestbuy.com

 

[CRA5H]

These exclusives are killing me. Thankfully I have no interest in dark pit but I NEED ZSS and Ganon.

 

[ohlawd]

yep I hope all the retailers have a slice of that ZSS pie

Villager had other writing on it?

 

[Renewed]

Villager had other writing on it?

You mean Villager translated into other languages? Apparently they do that for some of the amiibo. Unless you mean something else... in that case I'm too tired to realize.

 

[i-Jest]

yep I hope all the retailers have a slice of that ZSS pie

It's gonna be brutal after....

 

[CuthbertAllgoodz]

yep I hope all the retailers have a slice of that ZSS pie

Gonna be freakin EBGames with no more pre-order going on...

 

[MotionBlue]

As of yesterday, EBgames upper management confirmed they won't be doing preorders for any Amiibos going forward. During wave 4, their entire fucking team took a long holiday and delayed the allocation emails to stores, who oversold without knowledge. They dont want the headache.

TRU seems to be doing what they did with Splatoon. BB won't be doing preorders.

What a shit-show this fall is going to be.

[Lone_Prodigy]

Well, guess I'm visiting EB less often.

Imports whoo.

 

[TheGamingBox]

[oreomunsta]

That is about $40 more than what I would pay for one, but I hope that it turns out great for you :]

 

[Ondore]

So EB won't even take preorders on the reprints of their exclusives? That whomps.

 

[TheGamingBox]

That is about $40 more than what I would pay for one, but I hope that it turns out great for you :]

the lucina amiibo was the only amiibo i really wanted, but i missed the amazon preorder and my yesasia preorder got canceled, the jigglypuff amiibo i bought was impulse buy, i had $20 bucks, didnt know what to buy, and saw an jigglypuff amiibo and bought it right away

 

[Anth0ny]

Yeah, Lucina is really hard to come by. As for your Jiggly, nice find!
