39 EUR for Shulk, DeDeDe and Meta Knight are pretty scalpery to me.

I'd say it depends if they bought it for 10€ from Nintendo or 30€ from third-party seller to have rare stock.

The pikachu prices make me think it's the former, though, because I'm pretty sure you can order stock from Nintendo.

This is a photo of a store in Spain.

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

that's a store that probably bought the amiibos from an official retailer and is selling them at higher prices.

I can confirm, as I live in Spain as well, that at the official retailers like fnac, el corte ingles, media market and GAME, they are almost IMPOSSIBLE to find. (and perhaps your picture would explain why lol)

So far I've only gotten Lucario, Ike, Megaman and Bowser.

I can't find any anywhere else... not even the Marios.

Shout out to Murkas who hooked me up with a Pit at a good price! I'd been searching like crazy to find one but just had no luck until he helped me out.

Although I'm reorganising my collection (and indeed my games room) at the moment, he's gonna take pride of place right next to Shulk on the shelf where they're all hanging out right now, until I can put them back where they belong.

It took me a while to realise but there's an well known Amazon seller who is doing the same thing. It's basically an alternate form of scalping. That is something I know for sure and I think there's more to their location than they say.

Retail stores in the UK have caught on and upped their online prices too.

I signed up for GameStop UK once I heard about them having Metaknight. I ordered back in early January and then they ended up cancelling and other BS. I said I'll close my account. But then thought I'd I give a second chance and yeah, this shit is happening. Just as crap as they are in the US as they are here.

ERHM RELLY FERRLIN' IT!

So I managed to order Shulk and Dedede from Tesco at 4:30am this morning... And then Meta Knight from GameStop at 6:30am. Hopefully none of these get cancelled! They're the only ones I need!

Anyone else order at ridiculous times? - luckily I happened to wake up to a text alert so just jumped on it :p

No problem, the least I can do after a gaffer from Australia sent me a New 3DS XL early :p Let's hope I actually get this spare tomorrow (and my one too aha)!

Thankyouthankyou so much <3. I needed a Shulk and now I should have one.
You should get $42.10Australian Dollars (21.40 Pounds). It should be a small package.

Thanks, what alert are you using?

Combination of text alerts from the amiibofiguresuk twitter feed and email alerts from numerous sites - but like Bazry said:

I get no alerts from Tesco via email either :/

But the twitter alerts have bagged me the Shulk, Dedede (both Tesco) and Meta Knight (GameStop) I needed all just this morning - I just hope nothing gets cancelled :/

Going to post this again:

If anyone could get me a Shulk and/or Meta Knight I'd be SO grateful. Will pay cost + shipping to the Netherlands up front of course.

These are the only two missing in my Smash collection and Shulk is my favorite character :(. I would love to have him! Any region is fine.

Thanks <3

Why aren't people using Pushbullet to let us know when there is stock available?

Posting it here is letting loads of lurkers know, making it harder for us.

Can we include Australia/NZ in the UK/EU thread? We should be included since we're like basically the same region Nintendo considers so.

I see no reason not to include them. I do have something to possibly change about the Pushbullet, for sites like GameStop which operate in more then one region can you add that region to it (e.g. GameStop UK)

Might be the same Nintendo region, but since this is about physical goods the australian continent would be shipping stuff from across the globe. Also they don't benefit like the EU countries do when it comes to shipping and taxes.

Thanks to a kind gal at another forum :D. And best of all: I only had to pay normal retail price :).

Still hunting for Shulk and Meta Knight, anyone know if the rumors that they'll be receiving a new shipment sometime in March are true?
