Except "No street date" which means that they can just start selling when they arrive.

Time to get friendly with the closest Gamestop :p
Oh god dang it.

At least I walk by the GameStop that I ordered Shulk at pretty frequently because I work in the same plaza.

.............Rosalina, The Bain of my existence..........
I wish my local stores were fully stocked like this.

I have all Wave 1 and 2 amiibos except Little Mac, Captain Falcon, Villager, Marth, and Wii Fit Trainer.

I want all Wave 3 amiibos... :crazy:

The more I look at Sheik's amiibo the more I see how ugly her hair is. Might be the ugliest amiibo I'll own .-.

A lot of people are still talking about how their Rosalina Amiibo orders from European sites are still not even shipped yet, and my Amazon.de order is no exception.
I think it's mostly due to the fact that they are released on this Friday in most of Europe, and after picking it up he'd have to ship it which he'd do the next day. So yeah

Not everyone is having this problem, though. The majority are, but not everyone.

I'm getting worried that some of these pre-orders are being turned into back orders or something....

EDIT: NEVER MIND, they FINALLY charged my card and the status changed from "Not yet shipped" to "Shipping will be prepared"! :D

My :4lucario: shipped, but :rosalina:hasn't yet, both from Amazon Italy. (to the US)
I'm in the same boat (with Rosalina not shipping from Italy).

If they cancel my order, I'll cry because this is my only shot at getting Rosalia's amiibo.

Is Rosalina really that uncommon? I was planning to purchase her as well as Toon Link and maybe Pit tomorrow?

Oh well, if I don't find her I suppose I'll probably buy Zelda instead for now.... :/

I think it's the fact that she's a Target exclusive in the US, combined with the fact that (apparently) Target's having a ton of issues with the preorders.

Totally didn't just drive an hour out to Vernon Hills to buy amiibos. That would have been ridiculous.

I also totally didn't fall in the store and land on my knee. (Okay maybe I did..)

Btw, they will try and fight you on Lucario. They will tell you that he can't be sold until the 31st, but that's not true, you just need to not accept no for an answer. For me, the store told us he would be able to be bought today. And we didn't leave without him!

If you guys are wondering how the stock looked, I'd say there were 20 Lucario, 20 Toon Link, 8 Sheik, and 20+ of Bowser. But ay, if anyone is in Illinois looking for Amiibos, hit this Toys R' Us up.

Oh I see, guess I'll check for myself if Argos or Game has any in stock. Hopefully they do. I mean it's the launch day of wave three, they should have them........ I hope....

Genuinely popular character + vague resemblance to popular Disney character + US exclusivity + Man trying to hate buy them in bulk + general scalpers + US fans importing half of the European stock + GameStop UK/Ireland suddenly not being able to fulfill pre-orders = Rosalina is basically gonna be a "legendary Amiibo" for a while.

You should be fine on launch day though, if you go for opening hours. GameStop isn't getting her at all though, in the UK.

I'm so glad I managed to preorder one at 5:00 in the morning that one day, thank you based mother.

Oh.... well I'll check eitherway. I managed to get the Marth and Villager Amiibo's pretty easily and they became pretty rare too around their time so with some luck I might get my hands on a Rosalina Amiibo too if I get there as early as possible (on opening hours like you suggested.) I'll check Argos first anyway, mainly because Amiibo's are cheaper there compared to Game. Thanks for letting me know btw.

I can already see someone filling up the Rosalina Amiibo rack with Elsa Infinity figures. I wouldn't be surprised if it was an employee either.

I am so scared for Wave 3's release. At this point I am a completionist and I have a feeling I won't be anymore after this wave.
And yes, I actually open them and play with care :174:

For some reason I'm naively calm about Rosalina. I have a $10 Target gift card to cover most of the costs but I should probably expect to not see her for a few months at least. I won't let the scalpers get to me this time. Pit shows me that there is hope of restock (hopefully my order doesn't get cancelled)

It's a dream come true :')

Well I have Sheik, Sonic, Toon Link, Shulk, Ike, & Mega Man preordered at GS. Hopefully it doesn't mean I'm screwed when they release them. I hope they inform me first.

Warning Received
Stressed about the single amiibo I don't have of next wave.
Waiting on orders of the wave after that.
Balancing receipts and shipments and spreadsheets from previous waves.
Nearly out of expendable income.
Hoping nothing gets cancelled, which seems more likely, daily.
...It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

My dad lives in North Carolina near a best buy, and he goes to Florida frequently for medical reasons (with another best buy) so I'm not losing hope on Meta Knight.
I've got the South Florida market covered. And I mean, COVERED, bro. If you need help, if it's anywhere South of Orlando, ask me.

Going out in the AM to see if I can get a Lucario.

If anyone has more than one Little Mac, or lives in a country where they sell Little Mac, I will pay you for one. PM me. Little Mac is the only one I can't seem to get for a reasonable price. Thank you! :4littlemac:

I dunno if any of the stores around here will break street date but I won't be buying any until next week. I already bought 4 amiibos this week, including a $30 Marth and paying off my Shulk preorder. Hopefully I can pick up an Ike next week.

I need to call gamestop today. I really hope that they didn't break the street date. If they did, I have no chances of getting Shulk locally.

I'm currently very tight on money, so I could only afford to pre-order one Amiibo, so I picked Rosalina, since I've been looking forward to her more than any of the Amiibos, period.

Speaking of which, my order on her STILL hasn't shipped and release day is tomorrow... :\
I thought release day was the 20th of february?

My Rosalina amiibo should be coming soon. I don't know if I will have the same problem as everyone else as I ordered from a japanese importing site.

I really need to have my mom check to see if it shipped yet.

Gosh these Amiibo's really are harder to find than I thought. I couldn't even get ahold of Zelda or Pit.... I did thankfully manage to get Toon Link though (Although even of him there was only one left...) it's mostly the Wave 1 Amiibo's I could find. Eitherway I will be going on to an interview today so I'll try my luck again around its shopping centre.

I do really love how Toon Link looks, he looks great! :grin: Now just to wait for Ness....

Went to Toys R Us yesterday after hearing they had Wave 3's. They had 4 Toon Links and 3 Bowsers, but no Shieks or Lucarios. As in, they didn't get any shipments of them yet. The associate I talked to said that they also aren't selling Lucario until the 1st even if they had him, but their Nintendo rep said there is no guarantee that store will get more than their preorders. This seems to contradict some other reports of stores getting like, 2 Bowser and 20 Lucario.

The store exclusives are the only ones I don't have pre-ordered, why can't they just be plentiful?!

The store might not be entirely truthful on what they got or not. My local branch told us that they got them but wouldn't actually put them out yet, and said they wouldn't be getting Sheik until the 31st. But if you check other stores, chances are you'll be able to find them on shelf. Lots of TRU caved and put them out.

Only problem is there's just the one TRU within a reasonable distance to me. I've got every other amiibo preordered at GameStop expect for Lucario, RosaLuma, and Meta Knight. I definitely plan on going out the morning of the 1st and hopefully will luck out.

I see. Well, the one I went to wasn't exactly reasonable. It was an hour or so away to get there. But defiantly worth it.

I'm planning on visiting a buddy in North Carolina at some point in February. If I can't find one before then, maybe I'll hit up the TRUs that are on the way.

People that you don't live close to can be very helpful if they're willing to get up and check their store. Especially since rarity can vary from state to state.

Also if you haven't yet, I highly recommend setting up an account at nowinstock.net. It's how I got a hold of my Rosalina, and if you set up to get notifications from amazon.de, you're pretty much covered in terms of updates. And they do text alerts.

With my birthday around the corner and my left over Christmas money, I feel that this will be a great time to start going on an amiibo hunt.

So today I went to a few stores, and in total there was 1 Bowser, about 9 Sheiks on display. That was it for wave 3.
Thankfully I still got my Rosalina and Ike preorders.

I also learnt something weird: apparently the reason Shulk isn't displayed on French retailers' websites is because he is scheduled to release in Wave 4, with Robin and Lucina.... I don't know what to think of this...

EDIT: Just checked a French retailer: Rosalina and Little Mac for 75euros....
