Yeah, I guess some store managers allowed them to be sold, others refused and put them back in the backroom til the 30th. Just made more painful this whole searching thing...

I'm trying to figure out what I should write down as the release date for my Toon Link and Sheik amiibos. Yesterday was the first day TRU sold them at some stores. Today was the first day they sold at a store near me (sorry xhunter they sold out before I could grab you a Sheik). TRU "street date" is either 1/30 or 2/1, and GameStop is 2/13. But now I'm hearing GameStop will be selling as soon as they receive shipments, 2/13 is only a "shipment ETA."

Thanks for trying.

This release date thing is frustrating. I have no idea when to start going to stores looking for Sheik because I have no idea when they are going to start selling them in stores!

The TRU by me has started selling them, so far all they have is Bowser. But the clerk there was 100% sure that Lucario would not be sold until the 30th no matter what, because of preorders. So i hope thats right.

I was told the 30th. Too bad this isnt a closed thread. This news I brought will make it harder to get Lucario. So as a member of this forum, heres what I would do. Call your Toysrus 26, 28, maybe 29. Ask when they will sell Lucario. Clearly they already have them in stores...behind lock and chain.

Well Gamestop has release dates of certain amiibos set on their website.

Bowser is now available at gamestop. Funny on google's news tab the creator of smash bros himself is having a hard time finding some.

Nintendo World Store got some of Wave 3 including "retailer exclusives" Shulk, Rosalina, and Lucario today. Wonder if they'll sell out despite the huge blizzard?

Yeah, my friend said there was over 50 people in line but the store said they had over 100 each so should still be a few tomorrow unless it got crazy from 4-5 before they closed early.

Yup got another email from tru saying my discounted amiibo that i again ordered due to their technical issue was cancelled due to being "unavailable". Im done trying to order from the states, things are way too hectic there, thankfully waters are calm here in AU for at least the first 2 waves, will see what happens later this week if my orders hold through
