Sold out by 3. Those people who set alarms will not be happy!

 

[The Red Wizard]

I wouldn't be so hasty to cancel other pre-orders, especially if they're on a no money down basis.

That was a bit too easy, what's the catch?

Half of everything is luck.

 

[Shadow Ranger]

Both still show as available to me.

Will return by GAME orders when both arrive. Don't trust anyone until it's in my hands!

Edit: Now gone.

 

[Yazoo91]

Damn it, snuck away from my desk only to find Greninja sold out... Managed to grab Jigglypuff. Never thought they'd put them up 15 minutes early, gah

 

[kuroneko0509]

Already sold out? wow

 

[powerdrain]

Aw man, I'm sure I checked a around ten mins ago and they weren't up yet, and checked at 3 but they're all sold :/

At least I have my Shopto orders, but I don't trust them because of previous blunders, and they cost more...

 

[ShogunDarius]

they sold out quick, you'd think ninty would want to make more so they make more

 

[Zafir]

Pretty rubbish for people who waited till 3.

Glad I checked early. :/

 

[jimmyjimmyo]

Got both at 2.52 seems crazy that Nintendo would go early but I guess they like to keep us guessing

 

[JoeM86]

Notice they forgot the 1 per customer restriction...

 

[Stilton Disco]

Notice they forgot the 1 per customer restriction...

It's an official Nintendo thing, no matter what it involves, they'll fuck it up somehow.

I set it to 2:30 because I am not new to how this works people should know by now.

 

[sammex]

They'll probably cancel multiples. I'm holding off on cancelling my shopto order for a bit just in case Ninty send out one of their apology emails.

 

[Zafir]

Really, victim blaming?

If you send out an email saying they'll be up at 3, it's pretty rubbish if they go up before AND sell out before.

No not victim blaming but I know what a joke this industry has been since 2006.

 

[Hero-of-Time]

They added it now....after they've sold out. Classic.

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Dang missed it came back at 3pm and was informed they put it out 10mins before -___-; won't be working tomorrow then lol.

 

[Windom Earle]

Some wave 4 amiibo are in stock on amazon.fr . Pac Man, Wario, and a few minutes ago even Ness and the rest.

 

[javac]

My Yarn Yoshi Game bundle from Zavvi ended up getting canceled, no email no nothing. Expected, but still bit annoying. Did they cancel them all or was I too late, I ordered it as soon as it was up.

wario is up again, but so is the price, £13.56.

 

[bodeiseifer]

Eurgh totally forgot about 3pm , course timber sold out now, jeez, i can remember when amiibo first launched,villager wft and marth were available for days, its just ridiculous now

I believe that they cancelled them all as the price £34.99 was cheaper than the rrp by too much for them. They cant raise the price of pre-orders but they sure can cancel them and force you to either pre order the higher price or leave.

Mine was cancelled without notification as well.

 

[mrbaba]

Mine was cancelled without notification as well.

What an underhand move, mine was just cancelled too. If you look at their site they've still got them up for pre-order, but this time for £44.99.
I'm not sure I'll be using Zavvi again, if the old price had been a clear miss-price I wouldn't have minded, but £10 off sounds legitimate.

Dedede (Dadidou) and Metaknight on Fnac.fr (reprints, end of june)

http://jeux-video.fnac.com/a8003190/Nintendo-Amiibo-Roi-Dadidou-objet-derive-Figurine

Apparently, other poped up this afternoon (including Shulk and Pit), but I missed them :/

Rosalina, Falcon and others should follow...

 

[RiggyRob]

If a Yoshi's Woolly World bundle came up on amazon.de/fr, it'll have the English covers for both the game and amiibo (with French underneath) and an English manual/language in game, since the bundles with the ugly USK logos are all the same, right?

Just wondering whether I should preorder it from there if the bundle ever comes up for ~€45-52 + whatever shipping to the UK - after Zavvi pulled their orders for £35, I think £45 might be the best price we get in the UK.

Sold out while I was trying to work out how to create an account. :/

At least we know shulk dedede & metaknight are being reprinted...

Sorry :/

I've been burned so many times with FNAC that I'd like a confirmation elsewhere, but indeed, it seems promising. I just hope they don't change the packaging with the reprints.

Not only Shulk, Dedede and Metaknight, but also Villager, Marth, Pit, Rosalina, Falcon...

 

[Windom Earle]

So your friends in the US thread are thinking that this is the Splatoon 3-pack:
http://www.amazon.fr/dp/B00VQ93WI6/

I hope it is!

 

[MicH]

Shibata said in the Direct that the Squid is exclusive to the game bundle so I don't see that happening at all. Why would it only be up on Amazon France anyway?

Just buy it and ask questions later.

 

[Ashler]

Pre-ordered, just in case!

 

[69wpm]

Why would that be the amiibo 3-pack? It's probably just the normal game (non LE).

Normal game has another listing and the price is very low. But yeah, unlikely.

edit:

Crom is a hero and gentleman for trading this Gold Mario with me:

Took a long time and I was getting desperate, but it's finally here!

 

[Ulysses 31]

It seems amazon.fr had a new batch of wave 4 Amiibo, they´re all appearing in best sold top 20.

Of course they´re all sold out now >.>

 

[Phillips455]

Only 2 hours left before wave 5 comes out early and runs out before 3pm again

Ha, I'm glad I managed to get all of my pre-orders in already, split with ShopTo and GAME so I don't have to worry about it.

Good luck everyone!

well, ive got GAME pre orders in, but for the price of 3 characters at game, i can get all 4 at Nintendo UK and STILL save money

 

[Windom Earle]

It seems Jiggly and Greninja were up on amazon.es but sold out within minutes. Splatoon stuff is still available.

Also the LE: http://www.amazon.es/dp/B00VK5OL3G/

I do like Nintendo UK's prices but I don't like the packing and delivery.

I'm hoping amazon keep the new ones reasonably priced.

 

[Mob]

Amazon will likely be £13.86 and as many as you want.

I got the last wave preordered with them for 10.85GBP each, hoping for something around that tbh.

 

[JoeM86]

Oh good, the Nintendo UK store has gone down before they even put the amiibo up

This is why you shouldn't announce when you're going to bloody put them up

Yep site's slowed to a crawl now =/

It's fine if your servers can handle it.

Unfortunately most can't.

Just got this email. Jigglypuff

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Not helped by the fact they jumped the gun yesterday so everyone thinks it'll be up 10mins earlier.

 

[Zafir]

Just got this email. Jigglypuff

When did you order?

 

[H1PSTER]

Got onto Ganondorfs page and then the site died for me.

gg

 

[Yazoo91]

When did you order?

It was like 2.59 pm yesterday so must've gone out of stock just as my order went through.

Edit: It was only one Jigglypuff, didn't order multiples

 

[Zafir]

Ordered Samus and Dark Pit like I wanted.

Dark Pit took a bit for it to add to my basket though...
