Oh jeez, I only have room for 5 more on my display shelves, and I have 4 on pre order from the next wave, but how can I not buy Olimar, Duck Hunt, ROB and Ganondorf? And probably Game n Watch guy when they come out? Life is hard.

 

[Windom Earle]

Yeah, i'm in too deep with waves 1,2 and 3 completed. I've got wave 4 and Mario party wave 1 pre-ordered, so there's really no going back now.


I just hope that they stop releasing waves somewhere along the line!!!

It can't be stopped and we know it. I resisted Mario Party but who knows what devilish plans Nintendo has.

You know that when they release those amiibo you're going to look back and know you had a real change to get them and passed it, right?

Just like a few people did with Rosalina now

 

[Inotti]

People either want it so they have a complete collection or they want it ironically because it's such a dumb thing to have on your desk/shelf.

Wii fit trainer reminds me of Community mascot "human being" and that's why I like her.

Shulk has been in and out of stock at GameStop.co.uk again this morning. I had one in my basket on my mobile but checkout just looped around so I missed it. He's OOS again now, but worth keeping an eye on him today.

 

[BGBW]

I was thinking getting Dedede could be nice but then I read he's hard to find in the UK so looks like I won't be bothering with that.

Well I'm going to be refreshing constantly during this lecture now

for fuck's sake

Do you know how long he was available?

the looping checkout is the same problem I had with MK. I wonder if they are actually in stock or if they just say they are and no-one can buy them.

Wouldn't be surprised, but then again, I'm guessing anything related to the main Mario line (outside of Rosalina!) will get a healthy dose of stock.

Still, I'd never risk it!

Same here.

And I've had ample opportunities to buy that in stores over here. I just don't want that one.

 

[kubus]

Can you add it to your basket? It shows as in stock but when I go to add it then it says out of stock.

Ah, nope that doesn't work.

Anyone going to Argos today to try and pick up wave 3b? I heard rumours about Wednesday...

 

[paulrobinbrown]

Despite my scepticism the Argos order came through! Wasn't delivered until after 6PM and only packaged in a plastic bag so the boxes are a little bent. Doesn't matter because I open them anyway.

 

[Hot Coldman]

It's in stock, just at a higher price (and probably climbing) so it could third-party seller.

 

[Spades]

Seems like just a few minutes at a time.

Congrats dude! How were you able to order them for delivery again?

I had Tesco, Toys R Us and Argos stock pages open. I randomly checked it during my lunch on Monday around 12:00PM and they were available for Home Delivery. Quickly processed the order and paid the £3.95 delivery. By the time I got back to a PC they were on AmiiboFiguresUK twitter and had already gone

In case they get any more stock I would recommend adding the ones you want to an Argos basket and then refresh periodically to see if home delivery (or 10 local stores) have any. Also Tesco and Toys R Us must be due some stock at some point so I would do the same with them.

I ordered some to be delivered to the store for today on the 20th, the lady at the store seemed pretty set on me getting them today.

I'm going to wait until 12 and call, I doubt they were able to get any in .

 

[Shadow Ranger]

I can't understand the desire for the Wii Fit Trainer Amiibo. It's so dull looking.

Was actually one of my initial favourites haha. And actually turns out one of Wave 1's best. No derpy eyes and less colours to go wrong with.

Sometimes I like simplistic designs.

 

[H1PSTER]

Little Mac is showing as in stock on the Tesco Direct website.

However when you try and pay for it it goes immediately to out of stock.

Gutted.

Edit: He is now out of stock, no fake in stock or whatever.

 

[bodeiseifer]

kinda regretting cancelling my metaknight and dedede preorders

 

[Cappa]

Amiibos are impossible to find here in spain this is ridiculous.... Can't even find the "basic ones" like Mario pikachu etc.... So far only have ike and lucario meh

 

[Andrin]

Had to go out of my way and travel for about an hour by train, but I managed to pick up two each of Shulk and Meta Knight yesterday. That's all waves so far accounted for plus two extra super rare figures for trading if I happen to miss another rare in the future.

Amiibos are really starting to get bad for my wallet..

 

[Pachimari]

For once, I'm actually very happy I live in Denmark.

Yeah, they have all the figures here. I resisted buying any of them though.

I bought like 18 Disney Infinity figures and sold them all for nothing. Not again.

 

[Ashler]

Does anyone know whether Nintendo plans to release the Silver and Gold Amiibo in Europe? I can't stand the thought of having to buy one off eBay as its a retail exclusive in the US.

 

[Mysterious]

Does Denmark still have Villager?

 

[Pachimari]

Yeah. All the figures are in the stores.

 

[H1PSTER]

Which stores?

I highly doubt it, to be honest. If they do, it'll be a GAME exclusive I'd guess.

 

[Pachimari]

Which stores?

Are you from Denmark? I think it was the Fona store in Lyngby that had it.

But I saw Amiibo's in many places yesterday and in multiple Fona stores. And GameStop of course.

I have a friend that lives there and she was interested in trying to find them, thank you for the advice.

 

[H1PSTER]

Sorry for the double post.

I ordered a King Dedede and Shulk from Argos on the 20th and I just called them to check my order, turns out they can't for fill it as their stockists don't have any available, this is including Meta Knight, Megaman, Peach and others.

I don't think I'll be ordering from an Argos store when it comes to these again, it's such a pain .

Send some my way

 

[MicH]

Toys R Us In Field's had about three Villagers when I checked last Friday. Toys R Us and FONA stores are your best bet. Maybe Elgiganten too, but I've found that quite a few stores don't even carry Amiibo. I wouldn't waste my time in GameStop. Their selection is tiny and mostly consists of Pikachu and Mario

 

[Spades]

Once again, HUGE thank you to Shadow Ranger, Meta Knight just arrived:

And to make things even better, my Shulk also came in the post today also:

Not a bad morning!

So, my collection is complete again.

Spoiler

Until next month!

 

[H1PSTER]

Just bought a Toon Link... If I can't get King Dedede or Shulk I might as well make up for it and get something for the new Zelda game!

You're welcome, good to know he arrived this quickly.

 

[lunch_box]

I have a spare villager I can trade for any of meta knight, shill, king dedee. Anyone interested?

I still can't believe amazin did not get enough stock to fulfil my preorder.

 

[smashballTaz]

Does anyone have an idea when we could expect the wave 4 pre-orders on amazon.de. Or have they already sold out?

Not sure yet but this guy seems to be on the ball with UK amiibo news and stock levels:

Currently doing the same thing again

So, yeah, craziness has arrived to Europe as well.

wait, so actual stores are now also using scalper prices? lol ...and ...for Pikachu?

 

[nibblemonkey]

Wouldn't actual scalper prices be a lot higher then that?

 

[Koren]

Wouldn't actual scalper prices be a lot higher then that?

At which % scalping begin ?

I'd say it depends... Most shops here already have increased their price to 14.99€. I'm surprised the video game shop that sells a lot of rare merchandise (both new and used) near me doesn't sell rare ones for more. For example, they were selling Majora 3DS for 299€.

I still like the fact that they sell a lot of rare merchandise (they currently have two Virtual Boys on display, for example, and a mint Panasonic Q. All for 300-400€ though :/ )
