[DeathByBacklog]

that didn't just happen did it?

 

[ahdurian]

holy hell OOS in less than a minute

 

[CuthbertAllgoodz]

Did it pop OOS?

 

[The Elite]

Which places? Ebgames? I'm thinking of doing the same but I don't feel like driving to a million stores only to be left disappointed. I think EB is best bet though since they are getting Rosalinas...maybe they'll be getting some small stock of others as well.

My Future Shop is showing Sheik as in stock so I am going to try there. No reserves.

There is an EB games near by so I will pop in there as well.

 

[antibolo]

Showing up as Out of stock for me.

I just saw this at this moment and got an order through. Bless you zroid.

WHAT THE FUCK

 

[Mr.Miyamoto]

It's on their preorder amiibo page (if you can get through): https://www.ebgames.ca/platform/index/226

 

[LeGourmand]

It's showing sold out, great...

 

[mdubs]

That went OOS crazy fast , by the time I reloaded it was already OOS

 

[ohlawd]

I just saw this at this moment and got an order through. Bless you zroid.

damn, are you the only one who got an order in? props

 

[The Elite]

that didn't just happen did it?

All the online employees just bought it before it went up. lol...

 

[Draysoth]

and the site crashed mid checkout... fuck.

 

[espher]

No way it sold out in <30s.

I was hitting F5 every 2-3s and it hung for ~30s and loaded to say out of stock.

 

[Prax]

Sold Out already. lol

 

[spyguy]

Well that was fun. As soon as I saw it was there it was sold out.

 

[Renewed]

I see Rosalina... but Out of Stock?

https://www.ebgames.ca/Toys-Collectibles/Games/719170/rosalina-amiibo-super-smash-bros-series

Hopefully you all can get in there if that's just the "Yet to go up" thing.

 

[Hazu]

All the online employees just bought it before it went up. lol...

Pretty much this lol.

 

[Kilvin]

I'm done, this is such crap.

Got her in my cart get to check out, put my card in and then it takes me back to the main page.

Go back and look, she's already out of stock.

This is just not fun.

Yeah seems like I missed it... AGAIN !

 

[schlew]

It wouldn't let me proceed past the Visa option, so I suppose it had sold out super fast. Ah well.

 

[zroid]

Rosalina-gate continues

 

[jholmes]

By the time Rosalina even showed up on the page, the site slowed to a halt. How did they even sell any?

 

[stolin]

LOL....

That's your problem, things like that go to people with the card saved on the website. Not saying that you should save your card on websites, just that it's a huge advantage.

 

[Gonzo The Great]

"Maximum quantity for the product has been reached"

Literally sold out in 30 seconds. This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. I'm tempted to make a thread about it.

Same here, was trying to score one for my little brother. Oh well. NoA really fucked up with all this Amiibo availability nonsense.

 

[Prax]

She's a series staple now though. I assume she will get more releases.

 

[beta_fuse]

That was bogus, crashed mid checkout and brought me back to main page saying I already have the limit in my cart yet I couldn't go through checkout again...

 

[jholmes]

As much as I think the Rosalina stuff is a pain in the ass, Nintendo of America didn't tell Target to leave Canada.

 

[N° 2048]

I have a feeling ALL the "rare" Amiibos will be released in huge quantities later and we will all be laughing.

"Maximum quantity for the product has been reached"

It was the same with Future Shop and Best Buy as far as I know. We knew it would be hard to get a Rosalina in Canada..

 

[LeGourmand]

By the time Rosalina even showed up on the page, the site slowed to a halt. How did they even sell any?

I'm wondering if they had any at all online and all they wanted is traffic to the site/store so people end up buying some other amiibo.

 

[ahdurian]

lol rating for Rosalina going down

 

[mdubs]

You know, as much as Future Shop dicked us around a bit at least it was realistically possible to get a Rosalina

 

[DeathByBacklog]

Shouldn't we just discuss it in the Canadian Deals and DISCUSSION thread? lol

 

[Weiss]

There's no reason for Nintendo to not release more than they have. No idea what they're trying to do, other than provide an essential boon to the scalper market.

I have a feeling ALL the "rare" Amiibos will be released in huge quantities later and we will all be laughing.

It would be nice. I doubt they expected their small, add-on toys to sell more than most of their games.

 

[LegendOfGood]

Yup. EBGames crashed in seconds...

Didn't you already make a thread about stuff like this lol
