Official Amiibo General Thread - Complete Smash Bros. Set Now Avaliable!

[wizardto1]

So I went to Toy R Us to see if there are any preorder cards and as you guys said earlier, they don't have any. I did hear that they would do in-store preorder on April 27 though.

Also took advantage of buy 1, get 40% off another and bought Mega Man and Sonic.

Seriously though, I just want a figure of Greninja. Is that so hard to ask?

And yes, it's apparently so hard to ask.

Alternative for those who don't get Greninja:

Same pose and everything.

AHhh

In my calendar.
So much for getting two this time.

I miss wave 3 now, every wave the consumers are more savvy and vicious.

Guess I'll have to go home on the 26th.

At least the 28th is the last day of school, so I can use packing up my dorm room as an excuse.

 

[Arcadenik]

Greninja came back up again at 2:45pm. This time, it finally added to my cart... and while I was on the payment method step, I had to enter my security code for my credit card... and then by the time I submitted my payment, my cart was empty again... and it won't let me add it back. Dammit!!! I was so close!!

But on the bright side, I talked with a TRU reprensentative on a chat window (he said he has been trying to pre-order Lucina) and he said that they are planning on doing in-store pre-orders for Greninja on April 27... so I guess the rumor is true. Oh, and he said they are going to enforce an one-per-customer policy (we will see).

 

[ChikoLad]

I'm so sorry but I had to.

 

[KenboCalrissian]

Oddly enough, Greninja only shows up in my cart in Chrome. Does not appear in Firefox or IE. I'm logged into my account for all three, of course. I'll have to check when I get home - I even cleared cookies and logged in again, it's definitely still appearing. He's in limbo.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Wave 5 is totally sold out over here...

I'm not even sad or salty anymore, just hella disappointed that Nintendo can't keep up with demand

 

[---]

After yesterday and this morning, I'm fully in the camp of: **** people who buy more than one.

Good on TRU, though that doesn't excuse the BS they put people through earlier today.


vv - That's what I meant. - vv

Though too be honest there really shouldn't be that much supply right now because we haven't ****ING FINISHED OR EVEN STARTED WITH WAVE 4 YET! WHY THE HELL SHOULD THEY BE STARTING THE WAVE 5 ORDERS WHEN THOSE BARELY GOT ANNOUNCED!?!

 

[CaptainAmerica]

I think I'd love wave 6/7 preorders up, assuming that meant they got a feeling how many they wanted, then made enough to satisfy demand. Then we don't have to kill each other for DHD or Mewtwo.

And as a bonus, scalpers would then have 100+ figures and no demand left. Serves them right.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Because EB Games.

The worse thing about it is that right now, no other retailer have Wave 5 amiibos for pre-order

 

[ChikoLad]

Also

>tfw you want to take high quality pictures of your Amiibos with your camera but the lights in your house ain't good enough.

 

[Abyssal Lagiacrus]

It's like Nintendo turns a blind eye to the thousands upon thousands of people who come to them every day about the amiibo situation.

Oh yeah that's right. I heard EB games also started preorders for the NX. They certainly seem like an overzealous bunch.
No other retailer should have Wave 5 preorders especially since Wave 4 hasn't released yet. It's just causing unnecessary artificial stress for everyone.

 

[ChikoLad]

OH MY GOD PAC-MAN IS BEAUTIFUL I WANT HIM SO MUCH

 

[Shaymikyu]

OH MY GOD PAC-MAN IS BEAUTIFUL I WANT HIM SO MUCH

Robin and Lucina have much less derpier faces than in the previews. I'm so glad I managed to get both of them and will finally own one of my mains and a character from one of my favorite games-

OH WAIT. THAT'S RIGHT. THEY SOLD OUT LITERALLY AFTER THE FIRST TWO PEOPLE AT MY GAMESTOP.

Also, pretty sure this is fake, but if it isn't, WOW.

Not surprisingly, but it's more than likely another situation of governing from overseas & their typical stubbornness towards the entire industry. Nintendo is heavily out of touch with their largest market.

Though catering to families by having them up at 3am EST/12am PST is flat out BS.

 

[ChikoLad]

Don't know if that guy is legit but most of his points are true. There are outliers in the "Nintendo caters to the family audience with their distribution" though.

>Smash Bowser, Kirby, and Toon Link hard to get in Europe
>Ike and Sheik ****ing everywhere in Europe
>Rosalina one of the rarest of them all, and a store exclusive in the US, yet she made her debut in what is universally regarded as one of the best games of all time and Nintendo themselves re-iterate her popularity in interviews.

 

[CatRaccoonBL]

Of course I miss the splatoon amiibos while I both took a short nap and my mom wasn't here.

Of course they sold out.

Of course they would only make enough for the few hardcores who wanted it.

*Sigh*

I think it was only the triple pack that sold out. You can still get the boy and the girl alone.

Nope, the girl is out as well.

Also, like I wanted the boy. The boy is bleh. Never liked his design.

 

[Xavier :D]

Man, I guess I really lucked out yesterday, Got the 6-Pack at GS (after waiting an hour for their systems to boot back up) and managed to snag a Greninja Pre-Order. I just need the beautiful Jiggs.

 

[ChikoLad]

THERE YOU GO NINTENDO

MAKE MORE AMIIBOS

SPECIFICALLY ROSALINA

 

[Purin a.k.a. José]

Just got Diddy, Luigi and Bowser to put alongside Mario, Link, DK, Pikachu, Kirby and Falcon.
...
I still can't admit how Jigglypuff and Ness are exclusive. sigh

 

[mario123007]

Watch out folks, this guy is gonna do it again, scalp 100 Lucina, Robin, Palutena, and ZSS amiibos.

 

[Shaymikyu]

Is it horrible that I want this guy to step on Legos?

 

[ChikoLad]

It might just happen since there are Lego NFC figures coming out...

 

[Deleted member]

Watch out folks, this guy is gonna do it again, scalp 100 Lucina, Robin, Palutena, and ZSS amiibos.

And so you see. It's people like him that have to ruin the whole amiibo experience for everyone else.
I agree with the above poster, let him step on legos!

Not horrible enough, but stepping on Legos? Ouch...

Who knows if it's going to be "A man buys 100 Rosalina amiibos" again? Will they make a stupid interview on him too?

 

[PF9]

Well, after wave 4 didn't show up on GameStop's website yesterday, I tried going to an actual store to preorder Wario and Charizard, but because my parents wouldn't take me at a time I wanted to go, I was too late. I gave my parents a really hard time for it.

Any word on a possible lawsuit against GameStop? I'd figure there'd be one since they promised online pre-orders and they never came.

 

[Shaymikyu]

Considering how fast they're selling out, I doubt he'll get 100 Robins/Lucinas. But, I did see someone elsewhere say they got 4 Robins and 4 Lucinas somehow, so who knows.

I still think a strict 1-2 of each Amiibo limit for the less common ones should be enforced.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Watch out folks, this guy is gonna do it again, scalp 100 Lucina, Robin, Palutena, and ZSS amiibos.

Speaking of this guy I watched the video on how he explains why Rosalina is a "hentai" character.

And his first two reasoning's are how the hair over the eyes and her showing her shoulders are meant to make her look seductive.
The **** *****?

And the moaning part is so funny XD

His reasons are nonesense, the moaning part I found it irritated. Not every voice clip of Rosalina moans. And does he got any problem with her echo voice?

 

[Arcadenik]

I guess there are no more Greninja pre-orders from Toys R Us today... not since 3pm... my best chance is probably April 27...

 

[Munomario777]

Don't bring [the topic of mariotehplumber] up again, or spam warnings/infractions will be given out.

 

[mario123007]

Yeah... I know sorry, I just try to warn you guys for this...

 

[ChikoLad]

While I should still be fine for all of the upcoming Amiibos in terms of funds, I finally took a bit of an Amiibo risk and bought something else:

Maybe I will get to show off my Amiibos at 1080p 60fps now. :V

Speaking of this guy I watched the video on how he explains why Rosalina is a "hentai" character.

Well you gotta admit those are pretty hot qualities to have. :V

Perfect shoulders.
