all gone

Crazy. Just crazy. I really hope they announce a Villager reprint in the US, it'll go a long way to quell some of the insane craze I think...

I am still looking for the Gold Mario Walmart amiibo. Currently I only have Meta Knight for trade (European version), but I am very sure I am able to get any of the upcoming amiibos (Lucina, Ness, Robin, Jigglypuff, Greninja, Zero Suit Samus etc., European versions) for trade also. I am also willing to buy one if someone has a spare copy for sale.

Ive bought the gold mario from America.

Having a nightmare with shipping though. Some company called Pitney Brewer or something that ebay say must be used. Tracking says the item has been delivered but certainly not to my house.

Never heard of them, that sounds weird -- hopefully it works out for you though!

To all the "amiibros" over in the UK -- if you guys see an auction that you want us over here to bid on, let us know, we could always get it for you and forward it on since it seems like most don't have an extra Gold Mario on-hand to just sell to you outright.

You mean Pitnry Bowes. It's the company ebay use for the Global shipping program! >.< It's a disaster using the Global shipping program. Puts me off buying from US sellers when they have that on their listing! >.< I ordered a Zelda pocket watch off a seller. Item was sent via GSP and a few days later it was "delivered" according to my tracking. Needless to say I didn't have the item. I complained to ebay and expressed my dissatisfaction with the GSP service and they refunded me and the seller got to keep his money too. About a month later, Yodel delivered the item to me. It was in a jiffy bag in the courier's car for a while. Must have been under the seat or something. >.< Useless.

Also, Pitney Bowes unpack and repack the package before shipping it to you. Expect your Amiibo to come in a Jiffybag. >.< As Knight said, ask somebody from the forum if they could forward for you in future. >.< It avoids all kind of headache and there are plenty of approved members here.
