Sure I saw some reprints where they were lower, more like the render.
Nabbed one of this batch.

Chances of a Shulk re-print?
Well his eyes are better but now he has an Ant forehead.

Do all US amiibos have that checkered base and EU have the gold base?

The checkered base is because it's the Super Mario series.

Well, with all these other unicorns restocking, it has to be soon... right?

Damn. Gone within 25 minutes. I'd say I'm surprised, but, you know...

awesome news, maybe my amazon dedede/shulk preorders will finally be filled if there are restocks happening.
Managed to find Robin at Smyths during my lunch break, so apart from the above mentioned I've only got Pac/Ness to go.

These restocks make me happy because it means Smyths may attain them.
In 12 days, I have got 8 Amiibos:
- 3 Yarn Yoshis (well, 1 of them is still on the way).
- Lucina
- Robin
- Meta Knight
- Ness
- Sheik
So without looking at Friday's shipment, I still need:
- King DeDeDe
- Shulk
- Smash Bowser
- Red-Base Peach
- Greninja
- Jigglypuff
- Pac-Man
I feel i'm doing okay, but not as well as you guys!

My Yoshis were dispatched today 
if my local store DID reserve the ones they said they would as well, I might have a pink and blue Yoshi spare... If that's the case I'd be willing to sell them at face value + cost of shipping for someone who was unable to pre-order. We'll see

It took me two reads of that post too, but I think what they meant by "Cancelled my cancellation" is that they sent out orders they wanted cancelled. Presumably they ordered doubles by accident or something.
Sir_Crocodile
Member
ooooooh.
didn't even know that was a thing amazon did. I thought if it was too late you couldn't put in a cancellation request at all, but then I've never made the request that close to dispatch
Well, I found Ganondorf and Dark Pit in my local GameStop today, so that's nice. Was there hoping against hope for a Robin restock but I take what I get.
They also had the Mario Party 10 pack with Mario and I used a gift card I had from canceling Bloodborne to snag that. All in all a really good day.

Does anyone know where the alternative color 8-bit mario amiibo comes from?
The red dungarees seems to be the one with Mario Maker.
Is the blue standalone, store / country exclusive?

"Winter 2015" according to the press release. Same with the Classic one individually, away from the bundle.
£13 is my limit.
I'm sure Smyths will get more eventually.
Also, anyone worried that their Yarn Yoshis will get dirty?
Exactly...
Although it's not really that I ordered doubles by accident. It's just that I had an Amazon.fr preorder. When I looked yesterday, it was "will ship on thursday". I visited brick'n mortar store on tuesday, and found the whole wave. Since I could choose the best looking ones and get good boxes, I bought them in-shop, and cancelled the Amazon order during the night (or in fact 75% of the order).
Amazon said that they couldn't cancel it today, because they were shipping it in advance.
I could simply refuse the parcel, but I'm interested in the Dark Pit for a friend... So I think I'll accept it and return the other three. Would have been easier if I had been able to cancel those.
Well... that's better than looking for missing ones...
I hope that none of you ****s steal the Shulk I want!
I will probably want Pac-Man and Shulk only if they have them, the others can wait, but they seem the rarest.
EDIT: Got this 10% off Amiibo thing from when i got Splatoon Digitally: 8626-1B90-4D49
Keep in mind that if you use it only for 2 Amiibos, you won't be eligible for Free P+P, so the price will only be slightly cheaper (£21.77 VS £21.98) than without the code. So i'd recommend only using it for 3+ Amiibos or 1 Amiibo and if you get anything else.
I think it has to be used by the end of the month, so be quick!

Got my green and blue Yoshi today, hopefully pink will show up tomorrow.
Might pick up Dedede if it gets a restock.

Well, at least you'll have doubles to trade for future ones you may miss
It'll be like the old school days lol
"got, got, got, need...."
That's a way to look at it... With previous waves, I may have considered it if there was some gaffer in need of those.
But I don't remember people here looking for one, and their exchange value may be really low. Besides, I've the full set now (beside wool Yoshis)...
Unless someone here claim one, I'll probably just ask for a refund, I'm pretty sure that they'll make someone happy somewhere.

Just got palutena, dark pit and zss delivered from Nintendo UK, and the box for zss folded over just above the top of the plastic box, leaving a very visible mark on the back.
Any point in contacting them, because I have it for collecting purposes, wasn't planning on opening it. Or am I just being OTT?

Not at all.
If you are keeping them sealed then you want them to be in mint condition. You can say it's was damaged when you received it. The only issue is if you can get a hold of another one without too much hassle.

Thank you for making people aware of this. An hour after your post, I managed to reserve a Shulk twelve miles from where I live. It's a pain to travel to but it's the only opportunity I've had to get him since he has come out.
