Got this reply from ShopTo... hmm what to go back with...
Also... the Robin amiibo is really good, very detailed
Were they preorders or did you grab them during their brief availability earlier this week?

That's really weird. I ordered Lucina just the other day and it seemed to get dispatched with no message saying there's an issue.
Nintendo store got back to me about my Robin order and basically said nothing can be done and said it was my paypal account that was at fault. Bullshit considering I've bought other things this week using my account with no issue. Its obviously something with their system. I'll possibly try phoning If they're still open when I get home but might not be.
So this just happened... No pre-order, no reservation. Just walked into a Toys r' US and they had 2 Ness, 2 Robin, 2 Lucina, 2 Pacman, 3 Charizard and a ton of Wario.
Bought one of each except for Ness (for trade) and Charizard (for a friend)

Really? If so then ShopTo have really messed up this time
All I can hope for now is that an amiibro/gal who got a spare will sell it to me like I did with my Shulks.
Hope you get your Robin sorted out!
That is really awful, my nephew ordered Lucina from them on Monday and Ness yesterday, both have arrived this morning.
Shocking that they are fulfilling orders placed this week and cancelling original preorders!
I don't think it will help but let me know if you want me to PM you the order numbers.

Oh wow... this has really put me off ShopTo now :/ Yeah could you please? It won't get me a Lucina but at least I can point out their mistakes to them. Thanks
PM sent, good luck!

It was THEIR error, so IMO they still need to make that up to you. I hate their whole attitude over this. They fucked up. They took your money. They told you your product had been dispatched, but somehow they're just able to cancel it all and leave you without? Fuck. That.

Yeah, my favorite of the bunch together with Ness.
Edit: Also don't trust ShopTo, zavvi and gameware.
It's like he's completely ignoring what you are saying. I'm normally a defender of ShopTo - I've used them for years - but after seeing this, and with their recent price hike, I'm going to do everything I can to order my things elsewhere. Disgusting.

Ah nice, I'm excited for my Ness to be delivered from Nintendo now
Yeah its absolutely disgusting. I'm tempted to phone them up.
If this was amazon they would have just given me one of my other orders for free and a month of Amazon Prime. I know they're not that big, but at least do something ffs. :/
I will be cancelling my next wave from them and just going with the Nintendo UK store.
Wise words here that I will now also be preaching.
They've changed, used to be my absolute favourite store but over the past year or two they've just gone down hill in so many ways including their customer service.
I just hope I'll be able to get one Wool Yoshi, Olimar and Bowser Jr from somewhere else.

Cheers, I quoted the terms and conditions to them like was stated in that second tweet and this is what I got back...
"We are sorry to hear this" ...what... your'e sorry to hear that I have legal rights as per your own terms and conditions? Utterly ridiculous.

It's worth noting Nintendo UK's Store are owned/ran by Zavvi, so they're hardly great either.
You don't really have much choice annoyingly. Amazon is probably the best, but they get put up randomly, and they ship internationally so good luck getting an order in.

That's true but so far I've not had any issues with them, in fact theyve given me complimentary vouchers to say sorry for the one cancellation I got (which I expected anyway).
But yeah you're right, nowhere is safe, just gotta order in multiple places and pray... :L
Absolutely disgusting, I hoped they would at least honour the preorder guarantee that they offer after you showed them the order number I gave you.
This, together with the price hike on amiibo has put me off ordering from them again!

"We're sorry to hear that we have ignored consumer rights... Unfortunately we are unable to do anything about this, goodbye"
You should maybe try calling them and ask to speak to a supervisor or something.

Wait are they up now then, or did I just miss this? I'd like to order there and cancel my ShopTo ones now!
I'm entirely unsurprised Shopto messed up the pre-orders, Makes me feel kinda bad I got a Lucina out of the mess up. They've been going down hill for a long time. I remember back when the PS4 pre-orders were happening they messed around a lot. Charging dearer prices on some of the bundles, but due to the console being sold out you didn't have much choice but to accept it. Offering the Mega Pack to people who had pre-ordered later, and some of the people who pre-ordered early got diddly squat.
I can't see them.
Edit: Oh just got an email
Triple pack and game - http://store.nintendo.co.uk/games-w...=2015April25-YoshisWoollyWorld&affil=thgemail

just wait it out, got a long time until they are due after all
ShopTo are less expensive, but Nintendo UK haven't dropped the ball on me yet. ShopTo have had issues for me over the last year. Games coming later than usual, my original amiibo not shipping until after launch day etc.
I just don't know who to trust anymore. amiibo have ruined my faith in video game retailers haha

Absolutely astonishing from shopto, a complete clusterfuck and they are doing nothing for customers over a situation which is entirely their own making. Not a smart thing to do.
Definitely won't be cancelling pre-orders with anyone for the May/June amiibos, if nothing gets cancelled and I end up with dups I'll trade on here.
Will be giving shopto a wide berth from now on esp. after the price hike.

ShopTo have been good with me with this wave, despite their disgusting price increases since (I ordered this wave before the £15/20 price points). And also a problem I had with my Toon Link order, when they said he was dispatched but never came.
Got Pac-Man, Lucina and Ness from them, and they look great, and it was nice coming home to them 2 days before release which is why I used to preorder games a lot from them in the past.
Wario should get here from GAME tomorrow, and I have Robin preordered from Amazon but no dispatch notice yet, so probably won't be getting him~~
Not got Charizard but may pick him up if he's common and easy to find.

Hah, I'm gonna cancel my Yoshi's Woolly World bundle Nintendo UK Store order and switch back to Zavvi. The Nintendo order is £49.99, the Zavvi order is £44.99, and you can apply the SORRY10 code to get 10% off and bring it down to £40.49.
Edit:
Wait, there's TWO Yarn Yoshi's in that order? Goddayumn.

Welp. Housemate had order cancelled for lucina from the Nintendo UK store. And I cancelled my £11 lucina a day or two beforehand from GAME because we decided there was no point in us buying duplicates of amiibos.

Is that really €50 for an amiibo?
Honestly, what is wrong with Nintendo? (I know they didn't set that price but) why are they constraining supplies so much? This isn't an issue with Disney Infinity, is it?
Honestly think it has more to do with that particular retailer trying to take advantage of people who aren't willing to wait for stock to come in to other stores and just wants it now.
At first I thought it was Nintendo being surprised by demand, but this wave is the first that had production begin this year, so after knowledge of demand from December sales I would have thought they'd have adapted.
I have no explanation now

Maybe they're shifting their shipments to the areas with the highest demand? Since EU wasn't that sweet on amiibo they might've allocated more to the US to make their situation slightly less dire. Just a guess.
