They did that for the Ganondorf wave too

It's obviously the only reason I was actually able to buy it.

"Please note: this item is unavailable to non-UK residents."

Is that new?

Good thing I guess? Doesn't become instantly sold out.

 

[MKUltra]

Game still have their pages up but not for sale yet. Don't believe the other sites have put them up yet.

Thanks for this, I had the pages bookmarked and managed to get an order in, I'm glad that preorders seem to be lasting longer this time around.

GAME seem to be up for much longer now that they have restricted Shipping and have the price at their new £14.99 standard (when wave 4 was up first time it was only £10.99)

However i believe we might get a repeat of the Shulk situation. His pre orders were up for nearly a month, then we got MASS cancellations... :S

 

[smashballTaz]

They're up on the normal game website too now, I just ordered my set. For some reason they only showed up by searching for 'Dr Mario' 'Olimar' and 'Bowser Jr' without adding 'amiibo' at the end.

Good luck, UK Gaffers!

This was the last update I saw from Brian:

http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1slrunq

After I saw that I contacted him through PayPal and requested cancellation of my orders and a refund. He refunded me within 24 hours.

Since that update I know one person has received a single amiibo out of the 5 he ordered, I'm not aware of anyone else receiving their orders.

Thanks for this. Would have been useful if he put that notice up on either of his sites too, I'm glad I asked now.

Let's hope I can find my paypal transaction with him so I can contact him.

 

[TsunamiOfSwagger]

Got an email from nintendo saying my order for the new wave has gone through, and one from tesco saying that little mac is no longer available, so they are cancelling my stock alert.

amazon.de pages are up ...guess they were made available at some ungodly hour for 5 seconds probably lol.

 

[cyba89]

Wait, did I miss ZSS and Ganondorf on amazon.de?

 

[Bots are better than you]

Wait, did I miss ZSS and Ganondorf on amazon.de?

I think, or rather ... i hope ..., the put up the placeholder sites/products, and that they have not been orderable yet ... given that amazon.de is a tad slow when it comes to games and stuff.

Oh god ... and it begins again ... next wave, same torture. The amiibo situation reminds me of Dark Souls, a circle, that always begins again after the inevitable doom of the former one.
Dark Souls 3 - Amiibo of the Abyss...

 

[Windom Earle]

No. Wave is up NOW.

 

[Chanser]

 

[cyba89]

No. Wave is up NOW.

Thanks! Got them!

So this should be not as bad as the previous wave.

 

[MicH]

No. Wave is up NOW.

Thanks! Got them Cheaper than UK so I'll most likely cancel that order

 

[Bots are better than you]

Got a link? Can't find them, or did I miss it already?

 

[TheMoon]

Got a link? Can't find them, or did I miss it already?

It was posted two hours ago ...so ...take a guess

 

[Bots are better than you]

God damnit... Why do they have to put then up when I either am on my way home, or eating or whatever

 

[TheMoon]

God damnit... Why do they have to put then up when I either am on my way home, or eating or whatever

Same, I just got here in time to get at least ZSS and Ganondorf. Palutena and Dark Pit were already gone. Next time I will prioritize amiibo hunting over preparing lunch lol.

Well that fucking sucks.

German amazon game sales charts:

Ganon sold out last, so he is probably the "common" of this wave. Also Witcher am cry.

 

[Qurupeke]

Lucina and Charizard ordered. Sorry, I'm a slowpoke.

Wait, did i miss them AGAIN? And AGAIN while eating? Amazon, why you do this?

 

[ShogunDarius]

the answer is obvious, you just need to stop eating XD

 

[Ashler]

Just got my Greninja and Jigglypuff pre-orders processed byStopto, My credit card has just been charged. That is a huge weight off my chest.

 

[Qurupeke]

From where?

I had just forgotten I ordered them and now I'll receive them. I guess I'm lucky considering that they're sold out everywhere.

 

[Zafir]

Blergh. Got charged for Greninja on Shopto when I was going to cancel it.

Why are they processing so early?

 

[Bots are better than you]

the answer is obvious, you just need to stop eating XD

That's the answer, now if the Amiibos were edible, that would make things easier!

Maybe that's the next step for them, after plastic figurines, plush amiibos and cards, edible amiibos, making you the amiibo .... for a certain time.
... Good god, no ... scratch that idea from eternity.

 

[Spades]

Last call for Jigglypuff and/or Greninja...

I just had my ShopTo processing notification so I'm going to cancel my GAME order shortly unless anyone would like these Amiibo?

 

[klark]

Just got charged £19.99 for Greninja from Shopto even though I ordered at £14.86..!

Sorry. Yeah, they went up around 16.00.

 

[frankie_baby]

Yay just had an email off shopto (well 3 emails) to tell me they've charged me for the boy inkling and it seems they're throwing in a keyring too, slightly worried though not heard anything about the girl yet

 

[powerdrain]

Just had my Jigglypuff on Shopto processing too. Thought it might have just been me since I cancelled a couple of preorders from them which I was able to snag on the Nintendo site, and this was their way of securing the one I kept or something. Not like they'd have any trouble shifting the units I cancelled anyhow.

Jiggly isn't out until next month right? This month is just Splatoon iirc.

Jigglypuff is out in a few days.

 

[frankie_baby]

Looks like I needent have worried they've emailed me about the girl inkling so all good, and I'm getting a second keyring too

 

[EmiPrime]

How good have Zavvi been for amiibo? I managed to preorder all 9 of the upcoming amiibo at £11 when they went up but I also have backups for all of them. Zavvi putting up their preorders several weeks before the Nintendo UK store is really confusing given it's all coming from The Hut anyway.

 

[smashballTaz]

So, next Friday the amiibos that are released are the 3 Splatoon ones, Jigglypuff and Greninja, right?

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Where's the best place to get Inkling Girl? I have an order from Amazon for £19.85 incl delivery but it seems like quite a lot. :/

 

[smashballTaz]

I've had a brief check and everywhere online seems to be sold out. If you get lucky you might find one cheaper in-store next Friday (at Game / ToysRus / Argos / Grainger Games), but if I was you I'd keep the Amazon order just in case she becomes impossible to find.

[cyba89]

Managed to get a Zelda for regular price.

Figured I better grab her now than later since she becomes kinda rare here and I want the complete Triforce-Trio.

I have an NTSC Wii U so I don't really want to get any game bundles but thank you anyway

 

[JoeM86]

Nintendo UK Store have started processing for Greninja, Jigglypuff and Splatoon bundles

 

[That Brown Guy]

I cancelled my Splatoon + Triple Pack + XL T-Shirt preorder that I had with the Nintendo Store so it may appear again!

 

[Porcile]

Indeed they have. I've been charged for my Inkling Girl + Game bundle. My first Amiibo since Mega Man and Toon Link.

 

[Zafir]

Yeah I cancelled mine too(though different tshirt size). Not bothered about getting all the splatoon amiibos. Can't justify the cost.

 

[JoeM86]

My Splatoon amiibo bundle has shipped

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Still waiting on mine but I preordered it upon the second restock.
