I really hope this whole "getting amiibo from foreign amazon sites" doesn't blow up the international shipping costs for us from those sites. I mean, there are literally THOUSANDS of people ordering these foreign amiibo from Amazon.de and .uk who never ordered from there before -- I can see it causing some problems in the future for ordering other CEs and such as well... just hope it doesn't blow up in our faces.

Yeah, I wasn't putting it down at all, you gotta go wherever you can find 'em. NOA and our retailers haven't made it easy for us to get these over here. But I just meant from a financial and logistics stand-point, Amazon.de exports to the US have increased by thousands upon thousands with this NA amiibo-craze, and there's probably a lot less margin built into these than a steelbook or CE, so huge changes like this in a fiscal period often cause companies to make drastic changes. Just hoping we don't get cut off next fiscal period? But who knows, maybe Amazon.de actually PROFITS on their shipping charges? In which case we'd still probably see those go up as well...

Its just an observation as to how 1 product from a company can alter so many companies' behaviors.

Super glad you've got yours though!

Hopefully all my POs stay the course, I'm just missing Charizard and Wario and Greninja (though got a Plan B from a kind member on here).

I believe I got them all now, except greninja. Unless the stores don't get enough units to reach me...

I agree the US retailers have been poop in getting these over here and also when comes time to pre-order them all chaos breaks loose. Like Gamestop...
I was glad my gamestop managed to get all 6 people in the line Ness and me also my Charizard, pac-man, and the 3 set splatoon. took a while though 2 hours......but that's patience for ya.

Hope you get the others you need Knight!!!!

Just to add they don't ship to US or Canada.

Stevo · #**689** 04-15-2015, 03:03 PM

Jigglypuff sold out Greninja still up for sale

Stevo · #**690** 04-15-2015, 03:06 PM

Both now sold out

I did buy one extra Jigglypuff if they become rare in the UK I would be willing to trade for one of the few I need (also some of the more rare ones)

I also still have the new full set on order for 14.99 at game, although I think I will cancel them
