PM me if that's OK?

Ideally the one without the dent please.

That can be arranged can also just meet you locally to save on shipping. I will drop you a PM.

So I pre-ordered the Lucario amiibo from ToysRUs, my order was cancelled a few days ago, and TRU sent me a code to pre-order other amiibos for 10.99. I pre-ordered Pit and Captain Falcon, but I just received an cancellation email for these two a few minutes ago... They let me pre-order the new ones as apology, and then cancelled my pre-order of the new ones...

This is my first and last time buy from TRU...

Yeah, a lot of others on Reddit are saying the same thing. They really screwed things up this time, that's for sure. Stinks that some people like yourself are on the amiibo roller-coaster with these. Maybe they'll just start giving them to you for free now?? Its funny though because they can't really cancel in-store orders like this (they can just not hold some if they wanted to), but in-store pre-orders seems to have been saved from the massive cancellation fests from what I've heard.

Either way, I just pre-ordered all the non-exclusives at GS as well as I'm tired of trying to hunt things down and didn't want to have to wait outside the door at TRU when they launch (or a week before as that's how they've been releasing them it seems!). Got my in-store for Lucario, got a hook up for Rosalina, and I'll have to hunt/fight/scavenge/send in a swat-team/etc. to get myself a MetaKnight.

Still sick that they've announced "even MORE retailer exclusives" with Wave4 and are excited about it-- seriously!??

I hate to admit it but GS seems to be the only place that won't cancel amigo orders

Yeah, they're really the best with pre-orders - though they've had more practice than anyone that's for sure. The only bad thing (besides never any "deals" on them) is the fact that they always put the stupid price sticker on the cardboard. It comes off easy sometimes, but occasionally it'll peel the colors off...

Yeah, if they do that, they'll probably do it when either a) none of my friends are in college and able to swing by and get me one and/or b) when my daughter is being born or some other life event more important to me than these things...

I really wouldn't mind a "club nintendo" exclusive amiibo though - as long as it wasn't too many coins and such. I've got nothing else to really spend them on except the "new" 3ds cases they launched the other day. (I stopped getting poster sets from them as there's a guy locally who always buys them and then sells them on CL for $20, so its worth the $20 for me to just get them and save my coins).

Ah yeah wasn't too keen on the SSB poster set myself, especially not for 700 coins.

The Zelda game card case is the same as the one they had last year I already picked up. Club Nintendo amiibo would be a good idea. NWS amiibo would not be worth the trip.

Just ordered Villager and Marth from Amazon.fr, if they have a nintendo world exclusive I'll just order an EU version

Yeah im glad here in AU the amiibos arent tied to any one store, i luckily only need ike which im sure i can get after launch. TRU really dropped the ball for those in the states, i dont really have confidence my set of amiibos i reordered again will actually be fulfilled. I ordered ike at walmart hoping it sticks. Things just seem more of a mess in the states completing them as sets or even just getting the ones you want.
