Amazon.de is live

Thanks for the heads-up, placed a pre-order on Daraen and Glurak. Did you see Wario yet?
And it's quite shady of amazon.de to not put the next wave on the product site of all other Smash amiibos.
edit: thanks for the link

You're welcome guys! The situation might be a bit more relaxed this time, no shipping to the US.

Lucina and ness already gone oO.

Thank you again, I managed to get all three I wanted
Lucina and Ness are already going in and out of stock, same with Robin (Daraen).
On a side note, does anybody know if Amazon can combine orders? I decided afterwards to get Charizard too but since the others were out of stock I couldn't create a new order with all four, just one with Charizard. I really don't want to pay 7'50 for Charizard's shipping alone...

Ness and Lucina unicorns confirmed. Robin probably equally rare. Well, pretty much what people expected. I kept F5'ing that page today for a reason at least.
Might be possible if you contact customer support. But there is the odd chance that you might slip back in the queue. I am not sure how confident amazon.de is on their projected stock. Weren't there cancellations in the last wave? I'd cancel Charizard, should be easy to get in stores normally.

That's very sensible. I'll do just that and see if I can get Charizard down the line.
If GAME UK ends up shipping the Shulk amiibo this is going to be an amazing day.

Got Pac-man Charizard & Wario
Crunch crunch crunch (currently eating my keyboard)
One more preorder missed.
WORST PART, MY ALERT SCRIPT ACTUALLY WORKED. But of course, it sent me mails and bipped while I was in the bus...
Ness was available for 15 minutes, Robin and Wario for ~25 minutes.
Can you still live and have a job, and collecting Amiibos?
I'm pretty sure they only trigger if the item is available for several hours, maybe days. It's totally useless for preorders, and that's the reason why I wrote my own script.
But again, even if it worked (except that I receive several mails instead of one), it was totally useless. You need to sit by a computer to have a chance. Sorry, I still need a job to pay for Amiibos...
Dammit.
At this point, I don't care for price if it's reasonably close to MSRP... I just don't want to pay scaper prices.I have them all preordered at gameware.at but would've greatly preferred amazon
But can you trust Gameware.at preorders? Even Amazon cancel some preorders, so...

Never ordered there before. I will find out. My ass will be rolling out of bed at dawn on April 24 anyway to rush to the train station so I can go retail hunting. Better safe than sorry. Especially since I'll have a shipping confirmation (or not) by that point so I know if I'm fucked or not lol.
Out of curiosity, what is this? Is gold Mario available in Europe?
No idea; spotted it on Twitter. I don't think anything has been announced for Europe, though.
TheMoon
Member
No he is not. Gold Mario is US-exclusive so far.
Same here. Hoping it'll be shipped tomorrow morning.
Nice, which retailer?
Windom Earle

No, it just means "posted order". "Aufgegeben" has different meanings context wise.

Heads up to German GAF, new wave is up on http://www.buecher.de
I don't like them due to the very limited payment options, but probably still a good option.
lol, yes. Need the rest of the text for a full picture though.

Ah damn that sucks :/ I've got a Dedede still pending from them... I'm hoping it doesn't get cancelled too.

God darn ... i was out getting something to eat after work an completely missed out the wave on amazon.de ... way to go!
Managed to get Charizard after it was in stock again for a short moment. Thanks for the heads up with buecher.de, pre-ordered Robin/Daraen and Lucina there.
The amiibo-situation reminds me of the (dark?) days, when Collectors Editions and Limited Editions were really limited in supply .... *ugly*

My King Dedede order from GAME looks okay so far - I almost ordered Metaknight but it kicked me off the site as I was trying to pay, saying it was out of stock.
Man, really struggling for Metaknight and Shulk much more than I ever did for Captain Falcon or Little Mac... Still haven't been able to find Rosalina, either.

I bought a Link amiibo for Hyrule Warriors a couple of weeks ago, and I'm now hooked. I have no intention of collecting them all, but I do have the following:
Link
Mario
Pikachu
Samus
Yoshi
Donkey Kong
Fox
Sheik
I plan on getting Kirby and Zelda (I want the 8 starting characters from the original Smash Bros. plus Zelda and Sheik for their usefulness in Hyrule Warriors), but even though they aren't considered "rare", I can't find them anywhere. I could buy them on eBay, but they're £15 or so each, and I'm reluctant to pay more than £10/£11 for them. It's an expensive enough hobby as it is.
I'm regularly checking the following websites:
Tesco Direct
Game
Gamestop
Argos
Toys R' Us
Amazon
I also check Tesco Extra and Toys R' Us when I can, though they always have the same few (Mario, Pikachu, Peach, Link, Donkey Kong, Yoshi).
Do you guys have any suggestions for where I can get my hands on some of the "uncommon" amiibos, rather than the super rare ones?

And my Shulks been canceled. Thanks Game!
I am just getting so burnt out in Amiibos.
These are meant to be just fun little figures you can get a bit extra out of games with, and instead the constant hassle and frustration Nintendo seem to have deliberately caused (based on the fact they seem to be doing the same thing with all their recent releases) with them is just incredibly off putting.

My GAME UK Shulk has been cancelled too, what a shame.
Let's see if I can get one in May.
