My area is TERRIBLE. I literally never 'had any preorder for wave 4 even announced and I CAMPED my gamestop. We barely have any PIKACHUS. It is ****ing terrible.

Okay so apparently Amazon has sold out of all the Marth amiibos and since I have little to no transportation, getting him online is my only option. And of course GameStop got the Marth amiibos a few days ago when I couldn't go anywhere and they sold out too. That's it, I pretty much give up on this amiibo hunting. Done.

Really shouldn't be this hard to acquire an amiibo at all. I don't want a Mario or Luigi amiibo. But that's they all they ever have where I live.

**** Mario, Luigi and the rest of the commons one. I'd rather watch porn on video on demand than to waste my money on those.

"We are aware of the amiibo demand, but we don't know how much demand there's for it. Here, 20 Marth amiibo for online purchases. Is that enough?"

Although I've struggled, I've managed to get everyone I want but Metaknight. However I fear it's gonna change with Wave 5.

Marth is still valuable? I have an unopened one, but the box is a little beat up and his sword is bent. If I put it on Amazon it'd be for a reduced price because of that.

The only common ones I want are Link and Kirby but I'm holding off on getting those until I get some of the more rare ones.

I'm really envious of the ones who were able to get Marth the past few days as well as wave 4 pre-orders, yall are super lucky. I'll be like Chrom and say "I suppose I'll get my chance...another day."

My internet was down from yesterday afternoon until today.

Anything I missed out on? I'm hearing Gold Mario and Silver Mario are coming to Australia. Any word on Europe?

WELP. My Yesasia order for :4falcon:got canceled. My :4shulk:is't canceled but hasn't shipped yet.
This is totally what a kid who literally has to beg his dad to buy these things need.:glare:

Also we planning to go on May 29th to acquire amiibos like:4robinm::4lucina: and :4greninja: or least grab a :4pacman: or Inkling after school. However just wondering, will Gamestop even have stock on the Wave 4? The preorders all sold out.

I tried calling a Best Buy today about Metaknight after hearing from Nintendo about the Metaknight restock as well but they said that they no longer supply Metaknight amiibo. Not sure if they meant that store only or they don't know about the Metaknight restock. I guess Metaknights one that I'll have to order online for $40 :/ .

Also, is metaknight still store exclusive?

Everyone is still store exclusive of those who have been store exclusive.

I stopped by my Best Buy in MD the other day to see if they happened to get any restocks like gamestop and amazon. They didn't and didn't know anything about Meta Knight, but said they're amiibo restocks are on sunday and monday morning, so I guess I'll stop by then and see how lucky I get.

Shulk got delayed to late May. I think close to the 20th.

In unrelated news, Nintendo is producing large amounts of amiibo! There's enough Marios and Peaches for everyone!
Nintendo needs to take a break from producing more Marios and Peaches... and start producing other characters who are not from the Mario and Zelda series.

I don't think they wanna take the risk of seeing people not seeing some of their more known icons, which is understandable.

But I went to a wal-mart today and saw one zelda and the Smash and Mario series of Mario, Peach, Yoshi, and Luigi. I want to cry.

My amiibo collection thus far just consists of Mario, Luigi, Peach and Bowser. I'm looking to expand it during the summer though as I'll be making some extra money. A full collection is the end goal...but I'm well aware certain additions to the will be easier to come by than others. Really wish I had preordered Shulk while I still had the chance, but oh well. Hopefully some reprints will come eventually, I'll keep my eye on that.

I find it humorous how overstocking the Mario amiibos has had the opposite effect. Not a good impression when you walk into a wal-mart and every amiibo is sold out except for Mario and Luigi.

How get Silver Mario Amiibo?
I have never gotten an amiibo before and I want this one because it is Silver.
Silver Mario supposedly will not be store exclusive and should be available at-least at Target, Fred Meyer, and Best Buy.

live in Seattle, what would be my best bet to get my hands on this werewolf slayer?

Every time someone posts a picture of Super Mario Bowser, I am tempted to just go out and buy him.

I'll be literally doubling my amiibo collection on the 4th of July because Ganondorf, Palutena, Dark Pit and Zero Suit Samus all come out the same day then here in Australia. It's going to be a mighty fine day to pick up many characters I adore.

lmao you are my favorite rager of this thread
Not raging. Just irritated is all.
My local Walmart looks the same minus the Toon Link. I only see Toon Link at GameStop and Best Buy. ahaha.
I was surprised to see Toon Link in there. I was gonna check out GameStop since it's right next door to my Wal-Mart but it was still closed then.

GameStop isn't any better with the amiibos, trust me.

That aside, I'm looking at this Marth amiibo on eBay that's only gonna cost me around $26. I'm thinking of buying it because I'll have a better chance with that than playing a game of chance at retailers.

It won't be a game of chance if you just show up as early as possible and keep ringing your local shops to stay posted.

Just be vigilant and you'll get him. Though it's up to you if you want to pay double the price to secure him earlier.

What about shipping though? Shipping it what kills it.

Shipping is only $5.00 and I have a lack of transportation so getting rare amiibos online is a better option for me. It doesn't look like Marth will be online aside from that Amazon thing that's already sold out of him...
