Wow, that many Greninjas per store? I'm feeling hopeful!

My morning starts at 6 AM camping in front of Target. There happens to be another Target closer to the TRU I plan on racing to, however I've had good luck consistently getting to a different one first and I don't intend to press my luck at an unknown shop. I'd rather know I can secure Jiggly than risk losing out on both.

So is there anyway to check the stock of the Greninja amiibo in my local Toy R us?

I'm getting worried because I can't go to the store until 6 pm so I'm really hoping that a Greninja amiibo will be there. It's the one I really want. :c

Guess what came in the mail today? :ness64:

Couldn't resist taking a picture, as this is probably a once in a lifetime opportunity.

I called the EB Games that I pre-ordered my Ness amiibo at, and I was told that they should be getting enough in for me to get mine; hopefully that's actually the case by the time that I get there tomorrow!

I'm hoping to find Greninja or Lucina tomorrow as well, but I'm not sure how likely that is (Greninja seems possible, as long as the Toys R Us in my area sticks with the "one exclusive per customer" policy that they had last time, but Lucina seems highly unlikely given that none of the Fire Emblem amiibos were available for pre-order on the EB Games website).

My Ness and Pac-Man shipped! My reaction was something along the lines of 'eeee!'... Yes, I nerded out a bit. It's just good to know they're on the way, and not canceled or anything.:grin:

My :4ness: shipped today so I'm now waiting on the e-mails for :4charizard: and silver Mario now. :grin:

Going to be leaving my house tomorrow at 6 to head on up to Wal Mart to wait for an hour. My Wal Mart got about 7 :4jigglypuff: so I should be able to get her with no problem. There were no :4lucina: or :4robinm: when I asked the other day so I really hope some came in.

6-pack from GS is on the way, but has anybody received their second-wave Shulk? It was supposed to ship May 1, but my order is currently still open.

I posted a few pages back that a report online from Gamestop said that the orders will be in stock and ship on June 2nd and 9th.

Kewl, thanks. Sorry I missed it, I hadn't realized I was missing alerts for this thread for a couple of weeks.

So... I am torn between shopping at Toys R Us for Greninja and Silver Mario... or GameStop for Silver Mario only.

See, my local GameStop told me they are getting 12 Silver Mario... and Toys R Us told me they are getting Greninja and Silver Mario but they don't know how many (a claim I find dubious - I suspect they just don't want to check).

Not to mention there is no guarantee I would get Greninja without a pre-order even if I waited at the store at 5 AM. I don't want to waste my time if they are just going to refuse to sell me Greninja because I didn't pre-order it.

Well, for everyone going hunting tomorrow, best of luck to you. Hopefully the rumors of Greninja aplenty are true so I can get my hands on one.

And just think, by E3, we'll probably have preorder dates for Dark Pit and Palutena, so we get to start this all over again...

You're probably better off just going to TRU as most seem to have the most stock available. Both of my stores are getting between 40-50 with only 10 being saved for pre-orders. According to reddit, some stores in California are getting upwards to 80-100 Greninjas with 10-20 preorders. Every store has a 1 per character policy, which can only increase one's chances.

Gamestop from what I know is doing a minimum again. Only pre-orders with maybe 1-2 extras. You probably have a better shot at Best Buy than them.

TRU > Target >> Best Buy > Gamestop > Walmart (because it seems they'll only get Pac/Zard)

I am considering going to TRU at 5 AM and have my brother go to the mall where GameStop is at, at 9 AM.... both opens at 10 AM.

I just need Greninja and Silver Mario and I am done with Wave 4.

A buddy of mine directly asked the manager of our TRU and she reported 51 Greninjas. I'm feeling pretty good about tomorrow.

Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor!

Called my TRU and they said they can't reveal how much they have in stock, only that they have more than what was pre-order and that 1 character per customer rule (basically you can't buy more than one of the same character).

Michigan Amiibo Reddit says there will be 40 at one nearby store and 50 after another. "shrugs"


Regardless of what happens, good luck in the hunt tomorrow fellow Amiibros.

So you guys actually use all your amiibos? Isn't the most you can use at one time 7? in 8 player smash aka you and 7 amiibo's.

I'm probably going to head out around 7 or so. I hate getting up early, but amiibo changes everything. :p

Good luck everyone. I hope you get what you want.

As for me, I can go after school instead of 6 and I checked and there is no line at my Toy R Us right now so maybe I can actually get a :4greninja:amiibo? Maybe even a :4robinm:? Idk :/

Grant didn't come through for whatever reason. Regretting wasting that year in college even more now, I'm finished and it still plagues me. They can't cry foul on attendance either since I've been finished for ages.

Might have to pass on getting Greninja and Jigglypuff. They should be coming from ShopTo anyway since I was charged, but they didn't arrive today anyway.

Argos is being silly though:

Back from Wal Mart with :4jigglypuff:, :4wario: and the Splatoon 3 pack. There were tons of :4pacman:, :4charizard:, :4wario: and Silver :4mario:, also 14 :4jigglypuff:which was surprising. The lack of :4robinm: and :4lucina: was saddening so now I don't know what to do about them. :(
