If someone stateside could help me with just the store exclusives that would be great in case I miss them. I was planning on buying multiples of the exclusives and then offering them here for cost + shipping for people here, but I didn't want to get anyones hopes up in case I miss them, or they only sell me 1. But if I can I will get as many as they will let me and let you guys know.

Well you are a kind person luv. If you manage to get a rosalina, meta knight, or shulk let me know because if I don't manage to get them i'll be coming to you.

Sounds like a plan! Target/BB are easier for me to get to than the others (well GS is as well, but not sure if they'll have any non-preorders available), but there's a TRU or 2 that I could travel to as well. I'll keep an eye out for those for both of you!

My Toys R Us didn't get any today either.

Can't believe TRU is selling some today but I have to wait till 2/13 for my preorders at GameStop.

My Toysrus had LUCARIO's.

(Ill post a picture of the Lucarios. Phone downstairs and dont wanna go down with my eyes all red)

Short Version: My Toysrus had Lucario, Bowser, Toon Link on shelf with price. I had them in hand, went to check out, told there was a change in their system. Release date 1/30/15. They said they couldnt sell it to me. People would lose their jobs. Cant put it on hold. Manager picked them up, gave me attitude of too bad soo sad, took them away.

Long Version:
I went to check out and they refused to sell Amiibo Lucario to me! Why? They claim they put them out on the floor but then there was a change in their system. The release date is 1/30/15. They wouldnt put it on hold for me. I had it IN HAND. The worse part is IM SOO EMBARRASSED. At this point, Im soo upset about the way things were handled. First, let me say the way the 3 toysrus employees (1 at registar, 1 at the help desk (1 other was also there) handled the problem and were nice and very patient with me and explained things to me. Yes, I was nice back. HOWEVER the store manager came over and took them away, gave me attitude of dont even try, too bad soo sad. It was utterly embarrassing. I called toysrus on the phone and my option was to file a case but I didnt want the store to get in trouble or the 3 nice ones that helped. All I wanted was the item. But moments later... Im incredibly upset but not about the Lucario. Im upset and embarrassed and disgusted with the way the manager handled it. So

Can ANYONE help me get ahold of Top Management or someone at the top.
-Does anyone know what Toysrus Media Relations will do?

lol aww

So I guess that means there's hope Toys R Us will be honoring preorders instead of just putting everything they get on the floor immediately. At least you know when and where to check for canceled Lucario preorders. I hope they get an extra one in for you too.

Maybe TRU Media Relations help you set up a press conference about the whole incident?

Deep breaths.

Thank you Iwatasan. Im better. Just dont think I can ever show my face at my toysrus again. Lol yes I am very sure that Toysrus will be honoring preorders which I think is wonderful.

I forgot to mention. There was another kid in front of me. He had multiples of almost all the new ones in his basket. One person at the help desk said they were able to save him a Lucario due to a special circumstance. I highly doubt he had a preorder slip because we were looking at amiibos at the same time.

Back to a slightly early convo I added here. Its official. Collecting these amiibo's is now somewhat post traumatic due to a Toysrus Manager. Theres nothing like having something valuable to you and highly sought after in hand taken away only to be ridiculed

Thanks, just called em and they said at the moment they expect the release date to be sometime the week of 2/13 but it could be sooner or later they don't really know and it could change at any time. How's that for a non-answer?

GameStop.com is showing 2/13 though
