I'm predicting Lucario going up at 9:03am EST online at ToysRUs.ca

Nope!

 

[firehawk12]

Hey, it's 3:53 somewhere isn't it?

 

[DeathByBacklog]

afk

 

[The Elite]

afk

Now it's going to go up.

 

[DeathByBacklog]

Now it's going to go up.

Oh man don't even suggest that. I still have to get my kids off to school here. Next 45 minutes are going to be sketchy at best.

 

[nobodyshero]

It didn't show up last night? Lol Jesus. Did they tweet anything?

 

[Sealtest]

Windsor had a total of 8 people, store got 32.

People were getting 2 at a time.

 

[Mr.Miyamoto]

It didn't show up last night? Lol Jesus. Did they tweet anything?

Just a few pictures of middle fingers and corporate execs swimming in pools of money and Rosalinas.

 

[Byron Bluth]

Success!

 

[firehawk12]

Sounds like people are getting the Lucario easy enough though. I'm glad I'm not a Pokemon fan. lol

 

[Kilvin]

Congrats Bluth and the others that got him as well

 

[beta_fuse]

Success!

Niiiice. Not gonna lie I'm a bit jealous.

For me it's not so much of being a fan of Pokemon, but what use these will be.

Can these provide something similar to distribution events? (as nonsensical as that is, I don't want to leave anything off the table) Otherwise I don't want to invest more time in amiibos that will stress me out when I don't know how useful they are. There are only 5 or so more amiibo I want. Not gonna lose sleep over any others.

 

[meitantei_conan]

Left to the bathroom. 20 mintues later its 8:24 and theres only 3 people in the parking lot. Lol

 

[DeathByBacklog]

NOPE!

did you?

 

[Sealtest]

did you?

Nah I only got one was tempted but I knew eventually I would open mine.

 

[DeathByBacklog]

<--- would have taken the extra off your hands

 

[DeathByBacklog]

ok...gotta get the kids to school.

AFK

 

[Sealtest]

<--- would have taken the extra off your hands

Sorry bud, I never once thought of buying extras for gaffers when I rushed out.

Also congratz everyone with out of stock preorders at futureshop. Your now on a backorder list and after 10 days it'll be cancelled.

 

[Byron Bluth]

I told everyone in the line that the website will have all of Wave 3 up possibly today.

Hopefully they don't end up hating me due to TRUs incompetence.

 

[Italian_Spiderman]

Didn't get one. The cut off was three people in front of me.

 

[dancrane212]

I haven't followed Amiibo stuff too closely but I take it Shulk is off the table now? Saw it was removed from EB's page and I can't see myself running around trying to find one, online ordering is my MO with this kind of weather.

Yup, he's MIA.

Wait what!?!?

Like Meta Knight!?!?!!!

EUROPEAN WAVE 4 PREORDERS!

First ones since Amazon UK sold out. They ship worldwide.

http://www.kingplayer.de/

 

[Sealtest]

Sorry I should correct myself, Rosalina preorders that say OUT OF STOCK are on backorder and I doubt they'll get more stock.

I was told this by Matt at the FS support line.

Jeez 20 euro for Ness and Lucina.. thats $28 CAD before shipping ...ughh

 

[Fate_Shirou]

Thats why I didnt pre-order them asap, waiting to see if I can grab them in canada before importing

Importing with shipping usually works out to $20-25 CAN for each figure.

It's 10 EUR for shipping with them. Not sure if you can cancel in case you get a NA order.

Whaaaat? I feel like this has to be wrong. I got my order in when there were more than 100 left, within seconds after the link was posted here. Even after I ordered, there were still over 70 left. Why is it suddenly out of stock?

This is bullshit if true. They gave the number they had on hand, and it was a lie? How many did they get, 30 of them?

Amazon gives updates if they have trouble locating stock for your order, wouldn't fs do the same?

Welp, fuck Futureshop and Nintendo. Just fuck off.

Probably Nintendo under delivering

 

[Byron Bluth]

Next week will be glorious!

Shulk (GameStop USA Online) and Meta Knight (Future Shop Online) will ship/arrive next week! EB better have my Mega Man for my in store preorder next week too. That wll complete my entire Wave 3 collection!

Then Majora's Mask 3D LE and the MM New 3DS XL, was able to reach CN platinum and grab the MM Messenger Bag but it won't ship for 4 months.

EB Canada apparently got 60 total for the infamous :30 second purchase window online.

 

[Mysterious]

Nintendo of America, Inc. and Nintendo of Canada, Ltd., have the worst supply chain management system ever. Absolutely horrible.

 

[AlphaTwo00]

TRU Toronto Steeles and Yonge: never arrived, sold 20 presell tickets. First person was lined up at 6 am.

 

[firehawk12]

Nintendo of America, Inc. and Nintendo of Canada, Ltd., have the worst supply chain management system ever. Absolutely horrible.

Probably run by the same people who run Club Nintendo.

 

[Mysterious]

Probably run by the same people who run Club Nintendo.

Club Nintendo developers are probably 60 year olds who insist on using server technologies made for Windows 98 and Mac OS 9.

 

[firehawk12]

I still can't believe this though. I'm glad I asked a friend in the US to get one, but holy shit what a mess. Who would have thought that no retailer in Canada would be able to handle selling a 14 dollar piece of plastic? Christ.

 

[c-murph]

Preordered Lucina and Robin. With my other 4 amazon.co.uk preorders - that completes Wave 4.

Ugh, but $63 though... but not trusting NOA with preorders here.

Nah, it's just written in Java. There's your problem.

 

[espher]

Just got a TRU in stock notification e-mail for Lucario (for the web), but site has nothing.

Don't. You might not get any of your NOA preorders at this point.

 

[dancrane212]

Yup, he's MIA.

Oh well, maybe there is a chance of a reprint for Xeno 3DS.

Yeah same with me. Would be a real shame if we don't end up getting her cause I had time to order, still see some in stock and check on GAF that others got an order through as well. Plus I got my order confirmation very soon after.
