What is Xbox getting?
Haven't really caught up with the closure but is there a country-wide date for when everything goes into liquidation prices or does it vary by individual stores?

My brother also went to a different Toys 'R' Us and he saw a man kneeling over a cardboard box full of rare figures. He assumed it was an employee restocking the shelves, so he grabbed a Rosalina out of the box to inspect it. The guy turned around, gave him a dirty look, and shouted "THOSE ARE MINE", as he began stuffing more into the box. There were at least ten inside. This is who we are competing with, folks.
Ask your brother if that guy was Sinbad or not.

Wow. Screw that crap. I was just going to head out to WEM, too.
gawd lol
Brothers for 360, Worms (again) and #IDARB for the One. Picked them all up but chances are I ain't playing them.

Absolute garbage.
I mean, Brothers is okay, but the game selections on the One side are pretty insulting.

There's a reason I picked this username.
Maybe I'll start just tagging all my posts with the amiibo logo. It'd make it easier for people to skip over. Like so...
Can someone remove the white background? It will be much better to look with.
He'll say Fozzie bear was a better Muppet then Gonzo ever was.

Its funny this actually motivates me to be those people out so they don't get everything they want. Too bad I don't feel like buy multiples of figures for no reason.

Now we all need to adopt a religion so we can at least believe he will suffer eternally for his evilness.
Edit: EB Games is taking preorders on the MP amiibo if you're interested. (Toad's already gone)

Reminds me of Furby and Tamigotchi........absolute chaos for those
Amazon UK just got their Wave 4 preorders up.
Nice gonna preorder first lol
Edit: I see nothing except the MP ones.
Yeah but the white background makes it a lot more visible when using the dark theme for those who want to skip those posts. And we all know that dark theme > light theme.This should be cleaner.
Cross post from the Amiibo thread:
Someone in Toronto needs to hook me up with Lucario, DeDeDe and Ike.I stopped at TRU at Victoria Park and Lawrence in Toronto on my way home and the girl said nothing new came in and that whatever they get won't go on sale until Friday. By the time I'm off work I won't get anything.

And someone in the Club Canada Amiibo Facebook group posted photos of Rosalina, Mega Man, Sonic.. among other Wave 3s, from a Mississauga TRU apparently. I expect all the GTA stores to have stock by tonight.

And one without lines (which I prefer):
It's up to anyone which one do they prefer. Will save this one for future use.
I noticed postings on Kijiji for these, so I assumed they were at some stores locally.

Told a friend about the Toys R Us Canada in our city having Wave 3.
He went in and bought the last ones and didn't care to get me anything despite me asking.
Not happy. Thanks for taking them all! I won't be telling you anything anymore. Ass.

I'm totally playing Rogue Legacy.
However, I bought Transistor a few months back and haven't played it. I feel like an idiot now.

i need to stop buying PSN games of any kind, especially on PS4. I keep getting screwed over with past purchases going up as freebies.

I asked him to get me something and at least share one with me.
He refuses.
Selfish.
Last time I share tips with him. He would have had ZERO if it wasn't for me.
Friendships have been tested and broken. Hold amiibo close and nothing else.
And Yakuza is on PS Plus? This'll be fun.

So I'm guessing this is why you're not mentioning what city you are from?

This one looks great in dark theme.
Amiibo situation is a pain in the ass. No idea which stores in Calgary have them or not.

Ah ok. Now I see. People have their themes set to dark. I've had my set at just the default so I couldn't see the the white outlining around the gif I posted.

There was never any mention that she would be. All retailers in Canada got a chunk of Targets stock. So far Amazon, FS and BB have sold theirs. There's still Walmart, Toyrus, and EbGames left to go.

It is a small city, don't really want to post my details.
For those who have the Majora's Mask New 3DS XL pre-ordered from Amazon.ca, I just noticed something strange.
In the listing, I found a notice that says [no, the below isn't a typo, it's listed like that on the site]:
US Version Pre-Order will be availbale in 1-3 weeks
http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00S8IGG4U/
Does this mean what I think it does? That Amazon.ca isn't getting their shipment towards pre-orders from within Canada and that they're importing from the US before shipping them out to customers, hence the additional 1-3 week wait? If so, that makes me worry that our pre-orders will be fulfilled in the first place, not to mention the wait we'd need to go through...
I know it wasn't there when I originally placed my pre-order.

I went to my Ebgames in Coquitlam and pre-ordered Toad and I also inquired about Rosalina, as I was unable to pre-order her from FS/BB. They did say they will receive one or two, however there are no pre-orders her and that first few people that are at the store whenever they receive will get one.
Other than that, I am slowly being burnt our from collecting amiibo. With me, attending post-secondary by Vancouver, volunteering at hospitals and working at Target (while it lasts), with the inclusion of trying to collect amiibos has been quite demanding. Also with my limited budget, due to tuition and what not, I don't know how much longer I will last.

This is fucking ridiculous. We need a separate Amiibo thread.Maybe I'll start just tagging all my posts with the amiibo logo. It'd make it easier for people to skip over. Like so...
Wave 3 Amiibos on Amazon said 2-3 weeks right up until they shipped last Friday. So I wouldn't be too concerned. I also have Majora's Mask N3DS and Majora's LE game from Amazon, so I hope I'm right.

Perfect. Is Samus still easy to find? I think I'll get her amiibo in order to prepare for the Metroid n3DS game.
