I don't know if I'm sad over missing Lucario even though I added it to my cart immediately. I just sat there wondering if it was worth it. Just gonna let this play out and see where it goes. I can't imagine Pokemon amiibos getting much use until something like Pokken.

I got lucky at a Wal-Mart with Little Mac just before Christmas. Bust store and no one was even looking at the section and it was fully stocked.

DeathByBacklog, does the tracker shows stock for your store? Maybe the tracker is late.

Yeah, unless the website doesn't know, it's showing nothing in the nearest SK Wal-Marts.
"in most cases"
So when you call the stores they'll say "sorry I dunno lol" (regarding the stock) like the Toon Link portion of the wave.
I did an in-store pick up for MM so I should be ok.

Hey guys, does it say "in stock" or "out of stock" when you check your rosalina orders?

On Best Buy. It says Out of Stock.
The release date was today so the Pre-Order status auto changes to Out of Stock if there is no stock.
Apparently, the Mississauga warehouse is still waiting for a shipment from the west coast.

Don't go by that. It shows nothing at my store. I've been told over and over again by the employees there that that thing is never right and always late to update.

"Out of Stock."

Would I have a good chance of getting a Megaman Amiibo Monday morning at EBGames? Be honest

It's hard to say what time they may even have them.
I honestly don't know. Sounds like it's for preorders only right now as well.
I would look at other retailers.
sorry for laughing at your trouble
I'm gonna go later since I'll be near one. gonna pick up some brownies if they don't have shit
Chill, bro. We're all friends here.

Great point, I was assuming they'd be there at open. I should know better with this Amiibo craze

Just going to ignore me then?
I've posted a daily update here everyday this week and important tweets from my own communication with EB and other retailers.
I don't need to give my location due to my own privacy concerns.

That wasn't a post in response to my own post. You're in Northwestern Ontario too?

Online stock tracker at Walmart seems to be particularly bad from what I've seen. I've had situation with it saying there is no stock online and found stuff in store while I was in store.
Also, I know for me the site takes my postal code when I go on every so often and I think stock is tracked for your local stores. So if I'm in Toronto it won't necessarily show me that stock is available in NW Ontario.
Edit: Yup, just checked now it says no stock available at Nearby Stores.

Even if Walmart's going to get Wave 3s, I don't expect much from my store. I had to ask where the amiibo section was. It was hidden behind Skylanders/Disney Infinity in this small column (2x5 pegs). I just stopped going there and relied on my go-to EB Games which was in that same area.

Byron, you're making this a thing. It's not a thing. Relax. I was trying to give people an idea of where in Canada. If someone asked me what town, I'd tell them, but they wouldn't know where the hell that was. I didn't ignore you. I responded to your "passive aggressive" comment. If I didn't respond fast enough to your liking, I apologize. I'm trying to make supper for my family.

I can finally rest easy.
At least until Best Buy starts shipping Meta Knight. xD
Wait, so are you actually NW Ontario? Nothing in Kitchener, just drove out to Walmart. Hopefully they'd get them tonight sometime then. If you're not in Ontario it might still be a day or so

Lucky! Is there a Shulk registry I need to be in? :/
EDIT: ugh, "preorder your Mario Party amiibos at EBgames!" OK. "Maximum quantity reached, forget about it!"
Fairview Mall, Kitchener Ontario. Gonna check a few others around but I feel it's gonna be a waste of time. DeathByBacklog where u @

You missed the discussion me and a fellow boardie had about NW Ontario I take it. Yes I am.
Welcome to the Family Rosalina!
Filling out the back of the Purolator card worked, so thank you to those of you who suggested. The driver returned and left the package at a later time.
This Rosalina was obtained yesterday when a few of us noticed Rosalina sitting in our shopping carts on EBGames.ca from the 30 second sellout madness from the day before where basically all of us missed out on her.
We realized it would let us continue the checkout and payment so we all decided what the hell and went for it not expecting anything to come out of it.
Well I'm happy to say, for me at least, it worked. I realize how lucky and fortunate I am to have her. I would love to know if any of the others have had success, a few others have chimed in but I know there were more of you.
And yes if you are curious, she will be opened.
