:D :beer: YAY! Thank you so much! PM me with info whenever you have a chance.
PM sent. :)

I should mention I got it from Walmart.com and it's not scheduled to arrive until 2/20. So if you or anyone else has a chance to get one for you before then I can either cancel my order for it or sell it on, no problem. :thumb: Online ordering you never know what kind of condition you're going to receive it in. :blackeye:

Ain't that the truth. My friend saw some at best buy but i didn't know it would be rare or I would have got one myself and an extra for a friend or trade bait.

Awesome sauce. I hear 13th is the big day for wave 3. Lots of them are releasing.
Yep, that's what I hear too. GameStop has had that date set as their wave 3 street date for a while now and that's where I have mine preordered. But they've also said all along that they'll release them whenever they get their shipments in, even if it's before the 13th. So I just called my store to double check, and the clerk said Toon Link and Sheik are actually expected to arrive by tomorrow or more likely Wednesday, and Shulk could even be Thursday but no later than Friday.

So, if you're relying on GameStop to call you about your wave 3 preorders, you might wanna call them instead.

Hmm, I guess I'll have to be there at opening to ensure I get mine in good condition. I doubt they're going to have very many on hand and I don't want the damaged ones.

That's why my friend works at Gamestop to keep me informed.

I may be able to get an extra Shiek, lucario and Shulk. If I can, they would be for trade only (Metaknight, Marth and Wii Fit Trainer)
Please PM me with the offer. I'm going to pick them up tomorrow since the stores are closed now.

Yeah, from what I've heard/seen it seems like you Canadians are getting Wave3 released earlier than us! Seems like there's quite an abundance as well. Only one I'm worried about getting right now is Meta Knight so if anyone out there happens to snag an extra remember me! ;)

Also, Umbry that extra Lucario that I had already went to a buddy locally for cost (I just gave them my pre-order card that was prepaid), sorry. But if I come across another one in the wild, I'll remember you're looking for one!

No prob. I think once wave 4 hits we may want to make a amiibo trade thread with what we have extra and what we need. I still need some from wave 1 and 2. May have to either import

Got a text message about my GS preorders earlier today -- called them up and since they know me they were cool with not putting any of the GS stickers on the boxes (hate those things). Also doing a midnight release, but said they'd make sure mine are put to the side -- glad I don't have to worry now though they said they hadn't actually gotten them yet (which is weird based on the text message).

Still holding out for Wave4 and still got my TRU pre-orders for the others, so let me know if you guys need some of Wave 3b/c still before I cancel my PO at TRU.

No prob Bud. I don't know if I've got 2 of those pre-ordered though. I think I pre-ordered one at GS, but then didn't at TRU because I figured he'd be somewhat common. If I do though, its yours! (I'll let you know once I do). Also, I don't think GS is releasing Sonic this week -- I think he's coming out next week for them as well.

I didn't get to order Shulk but my friend works there, so I asked him to get me two, onwe for me and one for trade bait.

The only ones from this wave I have got are Toon Link (amazon) and Rosalina (target.com)
I am still waiting for Mega Man from amazon to ship and I can not wait.

Yeah, was checking out your trade thread on there the other day. Its nice when people use the same handles on different forums! ;)

I like the 2 different forums though -- its like two different families or cities. One is hectic and crazy and loud, there's lots of opportunities, but also lots of noise and randomness and then there's the other, where its not as noisy, everyone knows everyone, people are friendly, less-selfish, and though its a little slower, the air is nice to breathe and the pie is great!

Sweet. :D Wal-Mart already shipped the one I ordered for you apparently, but I should be able to return it, or easily sell it on if not. Since I'll have two in hand I can choose the one in better shape to keep and get rid of the other. :yes:

Since we're on the subject, anyone tried to return an amiibo before? I think I heard somewhere they can't be returned, but Wal-Mart's confirmation e-mail comes with return instructions and a barcode specifically for that purpose. :scratch:

You could always refuse delivery if you are there when the delivery person shows up. It'll just be sent back to where it came from and you should get a refund.

I'm going to swing by and talk with one of my manager friends at BB and see if there's an extra they can put aside for me, but not as close to any BB mgrs as other retailers, so unlikely. It seems like some people have already picked up one or two by having a manager override it (or ring up a separate amiibo). Any luck with any of you guys/gals yet?

None of my nearby GameStops take preorders over the phone either, and some of the employees are definitely unaware of "web-in-store," so it may take a little persistence.

Knight, did you notice that's a new page for Shulk today? Here's the page he was sold on yesterday (http://www.gamestop.com/accessories/shulk-amiibo-figure-gamestop-exclusive/118681), and here's the page from today (http://www.gamestop.com/accessories/shulk-amiibo-figure-gamestop-exclusive/120320). With a release date 3 months out, this sounds like they're making more, and by the product image it's not a "version 2" reprint or anything it's exactly the same.

Bodes well for other scarce amiibos maybe?

Yeah, that's why I linked to the new one in the post a few posts above, its dated May as opposed to the other "online only/sold out" one. I don't think its necessarily a "reprint" though. Gamestop is always doing strange things with their stock. They might have just been promised more stock that hasn't been delivered yet, either that or just wanted to spread some earnings into the next fiscal period (revenue recognition and all) with their existing held stock. None of the other "exclusive" retailers have done this, nor have any other amiibo, so I'm assuming its purely a GS management thing, but I could be wrong. Guess we'll find out in a few months.

Pffft, sold out now. Maybe you're right about the quarterly earnings thing, I didn't think of that. I wonder how much profit a load of amiibos earns them? Gotta be pretty low margin. Still hoping sooner or later they'll reprint these for everyone who missed out though.

Sure. I ordered a Sonic from GS as well, but it was put as back order because they can't fulfill my order. I'm glad TRU sends me one as I wasn't sure if I can get one from GS. If my GS order comes through as well, I'll sell you one

Here's an English version of the investor's meeting with Nintendo. He didn't really specify much on the whole "limited edition" thing, but it was an interesting read nonetheless. Also sounds hopeful that begging and pleading with Nintendo to reprint certain amiibo may be somewhat effective ;)

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm fearful of. We've got a lot of Walmarts around but these things will be gone before they hit the sales floor guaranteed.

I used to have a few friends/family who worked at different walmarts around the country, but think they've all left.

Did you order yours after 12/26?

P.S. I've been calling Best Buys today and so far none of them have extra Meta Knights for Friday. :(

Edit: Yep, every store within 100 miles, same story. Currently in stock: only enough for preorders, will not sell until Friday. Friday afternoon shipment: some stores may be getting more, no quantity information until the shipment arrives. So in my area, lining up at the crack of dawn would be totally useless. I'll sit home and F5 BestBuy.com for preorder cancellation restocks.

Not gonna lie. I POed 2 Ikes. It says customers will only be allowed to buy one even if they ordered more. Customers have the option of a refund or "can roll their reservation over to another product." My thought is, a valuable po for a valuable po. Anyone think they have Wave 4 in their computers?

No, no Wave4 POs in the system yet. Some places (on their own accord) were taking phantom pre-orders for Wave4 and saying that they would put your pre-order on whatever amiibo it was you wanted when they actually were in the system, but I wouldn't even trust the best employees/mgrs to remember to do that or to do it right for that matter, but YMMV.

Ouch! Hopefully you didn't lose any appendages/limbs Laz! And sorry to hear that Umbry! :(

I was able to get out there afterall and since I was the first person to get out of his car, I was first in line (the other guys came out as soon as they saw me get out of the car)! They had 8 MK overall and within an hour or two (up to 15 minutes before they opened) there was only 7 of us out there -- they brought the tickets about 10 minutes before opening and told us there was 8 so we all lucked out. 5 minutes before they opened, the parking lot filled up and we're all cheering for whoever can make it to us 1st to grab the last ticket. Was pretty fun!

Aside from that. It seems collecting Amiibo's have become incredibly ugly. Check out Nintendo Life "Tales From the Front Line of amiibo Collecting." Here's just one story.

"...story from poster 'Drclaw411':
I went to Target today. My first half of wave 3 pre-orders from Amazon (Bowser, Sheik, Toon Link) all say I won't get them until March 2nd. So I went to Target after checking stock online, all three in stock. I get there and see many of them in a shopping cart behind the counter in electronics. I ask for them. The person behind the counter told me this: "I'll be honest with you. I have these reserved for myself to throw on eBay, I'll be buying them at the end of my shift." I asked if I may please buy one of each, and she said "Sorry, no. These things are money." I was just about to ask for the manager, until I realized that this lady IS the manager. I straight up asked her if she's going to be buying all the Rosalinas on the 1st. Her response: "Honestly, I'm not working on the 1st. I am going to try and be here to buy them all, but my son has a doctor's visit that morning and it's really hard to find a doctor on a Sunday so I can't cancel. So we'll see if I make it. Best thing to do is call and ask if I've bought them yet."

At my Gamestop the manger told all her employees that the new amiibos that hit the store are for reserves only and if she caught them selling them to regular customers or themselves she would fire them. She said unless you pre-ordered them they aren't yours. I love her sooo much right now.:v:

I think DrClaw originally posted that on CAG - we all encouraged him to call corporate on the manager because it was not only a violation of Target policy, but also a real scummy way to treat customers and your position as manager in general. IIRC, he had no trouble whatsoever getting Rosalina that morning, she was not working there that day, but I don't recall what else, if any, was the resolution on it.

But yeah, Walmart exclusive is going to be ridiculous, ESPECIALLY at my local Walmarts where there's not even any space for amiibo. There's been a lot of talk about it being included in the "bundle" of Mario Party 10 though, and so many people have been pre-ordering it there through Walmart now (before it gets crazy) just in case. I'm contemplating doing that as well as I can just return it if it turns out to be "regular" and keep my cheaper Amazon version.

A friend just gave me a Meta Knight (US version) for free, if I successfully got all wave 4 pre-ordered, I'll sell it for $13 if anyone's interested.

What happens if you don't get all of wave 4?

Well great, not only are there no pre-orders for it, but also not all Walmart stores are getting them -- only 3,000 Walmart stores according to the press release! :banghead:


REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mario has always been golden in the minds of his fans. On March 20, Nintendo will launch the Super Mario amiibo—Gold Edition, a shiny gold-colored Mario figure that arrives on the same day as the Mario Party 10 game for the Wii U console. The Super Mario amiibo—Gold Edition will be sold exclusively at 3,000 Walmart stores in the U.S. at launch at a retail price of $12.96.

Nintendo’s amiibo are interactive toys that come to life in compatible games in different ways. This new golden figure represents the third Mario amiibo. The other two Mario amiibo are:
• The original ‘fireball’ Mario from the Super Smash Bros. series.
• A new ‘wave’ Mario from the Super Mario series available on March 20, for a limited time bundled only with Mario Party 10.

The new gold-colored Mario amiibo is compatible with multiple games that support amiibo. For example, Mario Party 10 features a new amiibo Party mode that players can only access by tapping their compatible amiibo figures on the Wii U GamePad controller to customize them and bring them into the game as board pieces. Players can also save items to their amiibo, then use them strategically. Or players can train their amiibo to supercharge its stats and expand its abilities in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U or Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. The full list of compatible games and amiibo can be found at http://www.nintendo.com/amiibo/compatibility.

Also, here's the official Nintendo Page for the Golden Mario Amiibo (http://www.nintendo.com/amiibo/detail/xz31aKJqZBGy5QGbxmKZxVl93U4bJII1)

Its alright Eternix, they sold out probably about a minute after I clicked "send" to you all. :(

Also, I only grabbed 1 because I didn't want them to pull a GS and cancel my preorder or something because I had 2 on the order. Turns out they had a limit of 2/order anyway.

Walmart limited it to 2 per order, but I've read that some people went back and ordered multiple times. I wonder if they'll catch that and cancel some of those? I didn't even try to order 2 primarily because I didn't want them to decide later that it was only 1 per person and cancel orders that had more than 1. :(

Also Vinny, I didn't realize other countries were experiencing shortages too -- how's the ebay.fr realm? I'm assuming its populated by resellers like the US site, but maybe you'll have some luck on there if its not?

eBay allows seller to sell pre-orders as far as I know. But sellers have to put pre-order in the title of the listing and the release date can't be more than a month (can't be sure, but there's a time frame) later when the listing begins.

I only have one pre-ordered (though still not even sure its valid since I can't check the order online right now), but I'll likely be trying to get one on the 20th (unless we're in the hospital) so if I can get an extra beyond that, its yours! :ok:

I also want one of those gold amiibo... I aready lost hope these will be available in Europe, let alone my country. If anyone is able to get a spare, I'd appreciate that.

Edit: tomorrow I'll go out and hunt for those amiibo in less known stores. I know some of the usual are not available but last time I checked there were still a few too links and lucarios around. I will let you know what I find.

I would also like to get one golden Mario amiibo! I was ordering one to my gf's friends place in the states, but they got sold out before I was able to complete the checkout. :-/ I am open to trades and I have at least one extra Meta Knight (Rosalina, Lucario etc. if Japanese versions are ok), but would also prefer buying since the shipping costs from Finland tend to be very high..

I'll hit up my two walmarts for people and see if I can manage to get some. In my town people don't seem to even know what they are.lol As far as I know it's just me and one other guy buying them when they first come out.

I have them all caged in their original boxes.

Does anyone need European Lucario? In an hour or so I'll go hunting them and I think I know where to find one. But I'll only get it it someone needs one.

The 5th wave that includes ness, pacman, charizard, wario, lucina and robin only comes out by the end of April.

I saw 4 lucarios on my hunt, as well as Mega Man, Zelda and every other one except the uncommon ones (villager, wii fit, marth, little mac, rosalina and the rest of wave 4)

Technically the community at large is referring to those not as the "5th Wave" but as the "SMB Wave". The "Ness" set is called "Wave 4".

Speaking of "waves", but looks like some South African site (http://myamiibonews.com/2015/03/south-african-retailer-lists-splatoon-amiibo-on-their-webpage/) has JigglyPuff, Greninja, and 2 Splatoon amiibo available for pre-order... weird. So maybe those 2 pokemon would be "Wave 5", but then the Splatoon amiibo just throw everything for a loop haha.

That looks awesome, I'm planning on opening all of mine, but I haven't brought myself to open the rarer ones yet. I want to take the cards, minus the plastic, and set them up on my wall in the same order they are in the character select screen in game.

So maybe those 2 pokemon would be "Wave 5", but then the Splatoon amiibo just throw everything for a loop haha.

I don't know what the communities refer to them, but I personally refer to them as Smash Bros wave 5 because they belong to the 5th set of figurines released in Europe. The set number three(known as wave 3) as announced by Nintendo included 11 characters, but they were released on separate dates with a few weeks of difference. First came Toon Link, Lucario, Rosalina, Bowser, Ike and Sheik. Then came Shulk, Megaman, Sonic, Kind Dedede and Metaknight. To me, those are waves 3 and 4 of the smash bros series, according to the market release dates in Europe. Ness and company are the 5th SSB set being released over here and I find it confusing calling that 4th wave.

Anyway, Toad from the first super mario set seems to be already sold out in most places. Their availability over here in Portugal is a mystery because most amiibo are usually unavailable for preorder, stores don't even know what they will get until they finally arrive at their warehouses. And even when the amiibo do arrive, they don't really respect release dates because they still have too many 1st wave figurines on the shelves. They don't care if the figurines are different, they don't care about waves or release dates for these, so they will probably put them for sale at any random time. The 3rd wave of figurines was available several days before the release date and I easily got them on a random walk to the store. They had 10 rosalinas and I assumed they were only rare in the US for being store exclusives. We don't have store exclusives over here (well at least for now).

Your welcome, Fox. :ok:

This is just crazy... Ness was sold out within 5 minutes, Lucina and Daraen hold maybe 5 minutes more.

Fox
03-10-2015, 08:37 PM
Geeze. Guess I should have bought them while I had the chance. Guess I was being super duper stupid picky about going for NA version lol. Is it hard to get amiibos in Germany? Or do you think its a bunch of North American buyers that took German supply?

Im surprised at how popular Ness is. Im an original Earthbound (aka Mother) fan. I really dont think all the Earthbound fanatics are buying up all the Ness Amiibos. There are sites that are trying to guess which Amiibos are the rarest by their release dates or something. Ness was pointed at the top. All Im thinking is great. More competition.

At this point, with wave 4 pre orders selling out within 5-10 minutes in places outside North America, it would seem the only way to get a wave 4 amiibo is to be lucky and be on the site as it pops up. With all this time wasted on refreshing sites and checking, I think Id rather pay double than waste my time doing nothing.

Nachtfalke
03-10-2015, 08:56 PM
If rumors from NeoGAF are true, this wave was just manufacturing in january. The other ones were up to 2 months in production, so yeah, the rarest amiibo is probably one of this wave. Most likely Ness, if you ask me.

I guess I'm not the only one with that theory. I will bet that many reseller was waiting for this moment and bought huge stocks from amazon. Finding the not common amiibos is really not easy in germany. Rosalina, King Dede or Shulk for example are out of stock everywhere since weeks.

Edit:
I build my own amazon link with all preorders in the next 12 months for all consoles. I'm checking it regularly so I never missed any items I want. The good thing is, that items show up there a couple of hours before you actually can preorder them. Like the amiibos today. Saw them first this afternoon. They went live @ ~6:50pm.

For Germany/UK/US/FR

03-10-2015, 09:20 PM
Thats a great idea. I only have up tabs for amazon amiibo. So I have to wonder if Im doing it efficiently but probably not lol.

Another shocker to me is King Dede being hard to find. I just never realized he was so popular.

I will admit. I have sold a 4 amiibos together for sca..reseller price. BUT the money goes towards amiibos I missed out on and may miss out on. Unfortunately the resellers are soo massive that I have sold at meanie prices just to be able to buy amiibos I want. Its a hard admission to make but its become apart of collecting

Nachtfalke
03-10-2015, 09:29 PM
Tell me about it. Being late in collecting amiibos is pretty pricy. But I will wait for restock or a good opportunity. Did that for Meta-Knight and Villageer boy and will do for three amiibos I'm still missing.

Fox
03-10-2015, 10:17 PM
Its ok though, it definitely makes collecting that more addicting. If you miss out, youll never have it type of drive. By the way. Nachtfalke, did you get some or all of wave 4? Hope you did:beg:

Today seems to be a hot day for Amiibos. Gold Mario was just available on walmart but is no more. I probably would have gotten one but as the page was loading, I watched a video on an ISIS defector for about 5 minutes. I was pulled in by the emotion and guilt of this man. Makes me see how much time Im wasting on these trivial toys.
