Fyi I know folks dont like the site but shopto has individual wooly yoshis for preorder.

Never used shopto but why are its links banned here?

Shopto leaked credit card info and allegedly threatened Evilore.

 

[nibblemonkey]

Why doesn't Nintendo open up unlimited pre-orders at an earlier date and then just manufacture the amount of Amiibo which get pre-ordered, like they do with their games?

Because that would make sense and Nintendo appears to have something against making sense

 

[Kito]

According to their incorrect estimate, Amazon should be dispatching Wave 5 today.

Shopto leaked credit card info, they lied about it to their customers, and allegedly threatened Evilore.

[Reverb Shock]

Can anyone help me get my hands on a Shulk? I've got Robin, Lucina, Pit, Captain Falcon, and Villager all NIB ready to trade.

 

[TsunamiOfSwagger]

charizard £8

Thanks Amiibro! Order placed for Lucina and Robin. Fingers crossed!

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Just went in all for Wario, Charizard and Lucina with prices like that how can you say no?

 

[Zafir]

Get the feeling they'll probably cancel since it says being shipped from supplier.

Edit: It's posted on HUKD too, so yeah, I'd say they're definitely going to get cancelled.

 

[MouldyK]

Ugh, I don't want Splatoon Hardcopy, but I want the Squid Amiibo.

Hold that grammer to yourself.

Sell the sealed copy and go digital.

 

[TheMoon]

Sell the sealed copy and go digital.

That's exactly what I'm doing. Well, except for the digital part. I just want a physical copy without the USK logo so I'll get a regular edition too and sell the one from the amiibo bundle.

Hopefully CEX take it.

 

[Waluigilicious]

I just bought two each of Robin and Lucina (one to trade). What are the chances of this actually going through? It seems way too good to be true.

I'd say very very very slim. Like 0.01%.

 

[Waluigilicious]

FFS whyd they take my money then

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Buying multiple of the same Amiibo is the problem. You get greedy and everyone else suffers.

..what. it's the first time doing it and it's with the intention of helping others and myself for trading amiibo for amiibo. It's only because the situation is like this in the first place.

 

[lbs.]

Several stock alerts for the next wave at game if anyone needs 'em....

Edit: Sorry. At GAME

 

[Zafir]

Those who ordered the amiibos from home essentials should probably check their order on the site. Seems they've stealth cancelled peoples orders without a email or anything.

 

[mclem]

Indeed. Happened to me. Not terribly surprised, really, although I am surprised that the items haven't been withdrawn from sale.

 

[Zafir]

Wave 4 are restocked on GAME, be quick though. Doubt they'll last.

Lucina seems to have gone already, but nabbed a Ness, a Pac-Man and a Robin.

 

[FoxOfShadows]

2 in the morning? Available for US shipping? Thanks GAME...

 

[Zafir]

My Ness and Robin shipped out from GAME. Lucky I was still at the computer studying for an exam I guess.

Cool stuff. Hopefully Amazon UK will update our orders with the new date

 

[Windom Earle]

Any news on why the product pages for the new wave are still down on amazon.uk?

 

[TheMoon]

Probably because they fucked up the date despite it being known already.

 

[Chanser]

Oh man, now I want Dr Mario and Olimar.

Like buying a Sonos.

 

[ShogunDarius]

has anyone put olimar etc up for order?

 

[jeffers]

has anyone put olimar etc up for order?

Zavvi has, amazon/nintendoUK/GAME havent

 

[mellowfiend]

Any news on whether Shulk was due to get a rerelease in the EU?

I think he was meant to get one in May in the US but haven't heard anymore since then.

Also, I believe Dedede was due to get rereleased over here in June. I had an order with Coolshop cancelled this week however for the June rerelease. Anyone know anything?

 

[mellowfiend]

Ugh, I don't want Splatoon Hardcopy, but I want the Squid Amiibo.

Amazon UK may do the three amiibo in a pack, currently unavailable but may be worth looking around for. Just search for Splatoon and it should come up.

Also, for those interested, there's a company called Conrad Electronic UK that apparently have Little Mac and a couple of other rares in stock at fairly reasonable prices. The website looks extremely dodgy but the site has been given a green OK by Norton Safeweb.
Apparently it's based in Germany.

Conrad has a Dutch site as well, pretty good. They don't have Amiibo though and other Conrad departments don't ship internationally.

Scandinavia-GAF:

CDON has Wave 5 + 6 up for pre-order

(Only ships to Scandinavian countries)

Conrad is not a company that often deals with things like Amiibos. It's mostly a shop that sell electronic components.

And it's a great shop, with a great service. I've met several people working there (in robotic competitions, mostly), and they're nice.

So I can vouch that the shop is perfectly fine (I've been shopping there for ages, maybe 15+ years). But I'm not sure you can expect them to avoid listing errors for items that are as limited as Amiibos.

Some people recently received rare ones from Conrad Fr, though, so at least you should try, there's definitively no risk involved, I'd say they're as trustworthy as you can hope.

Huh, what how? 3D printed custom? Prototype?

It's been rumored as being the proto but who knows, might be fake.
Tho it does follow the official art:

 

[Spades]

He looks awesome. Hope he's real.

 

[TheMoon]

He looks awesome. Hope he's real.

What does it matter, though? Even if this one is "fake" ...we know there'll be a real one later this year anyway. And it will look like that, too.

 

[Mumups]

Gameseek have DDD and meta knight for preorder -£20 each.
Anyone used Gameseek for amiibo before? Ordered a Zelda from Grainger Games and I got an American one with a smashed up box...

 

[Mob]

Nintendo UK store have some FE amiibo bundled with Codename STEAM here:

Ship within UK only.

That's a great idea, good way to make the sold out amiibo available again.

Wonder why Ike isn't bundled?

It's nice in theory but I don't want to buy two copies of a game for Amibos that I want

I think it's a bit cheeky that they offer bundles when the individual amiibo are out of stock.

I can't remember the last time they had Marth in stock but he's available with Codename STEAM and he's been available for a month or so in a £250 n3DS bundle. Villager has also been available in a n3DS bundle for a month or so.

Very annoying imo

Bad form. It's like Nintendo are GAME in disguise!
