Gonna try a target on the way to work, stalk the web at work, send my wife out while I'm at work (she's got a half day), and check a bunch of stores on the way home from work (did I mention work is getting in my way?)

From my estimation Silver Mario and Pac Man are the only ones that are going to be around just about everywhere, and probably some version of the Splatoon. Charizard, Wario and Jigglypuff will be a little trickier to find, same for Greninja, Ness Robin and Lucina will be hard to find. Sound about right to everyone else?

Here's what I know of stock wise from my store (EB Games Canada)
This is not a representation of the entire country's stock, but only a single store's sample.
These numbers are after pre-orders have been filled.

We have 5 silver marios - only going up for sale on a first come, first served basis. (no pre-orders were taken on these.)
We have 1, 3 pack of splatoon
We have 8 Pac-man for sale, 2 Wario, 6 Inkling Boys (single) and 5 Inkling Girls (single)
We have 0 Charizard, 0 Ness, 0 Lucina and 0 Robin

A note on pre-orders: although we had well over 20 pre-orders on Robin and Lucina, only 2 people got theirs (we actually were told by nintendo that no one was to get any.)

I have been told by people working at wal-mart that they should have plenty of stock on Jigglypuff and Toys are Us employees said they should have 20-25 greninjas per store.

Wow Laz, those are some pretty horrible #'s!

I got confirmation that 1/2 of my Walmart order has shipped, (so Charizard but NOT Wario), my Jigglypuff has shipped (to the wrong address), but nothing on Robin/Lucina/Pacman from BB or Ness from GS. Theoretically I should be OK with Greninja as I already waited in line to preorder it - but it seems many of the stores in my area are not getting an abundance of them, so who knows? Also, no word on my pre-order of Silver Mario yesterday from Target?

Overall this uncertainty is still unsettling and I guess I'm heading to Target before TRU to pick up an extra Jiggly just in case?

Nevermind they do.

GameStop shipped my Ness

If anyone plans to open their Ness but gets a really minty package, can you let me know before you open it? I might need to trade!

Also I've been snoozing this week, someone catch me up. Looks like Silver Mario went up for preorder on Target? Anywhere else? Or is it first come first served most places? I'm seeing Targets all around me are stocked. Any chance they'd sell me one today or is there a hard street date for this amiibo?
