Ok, tomorrow it's time to go to gamestop and ask in person if i can pre-order Ness. Lol, here we go again, hopefully for the last time in my case.

Caved in and bought Ike off Amazon.UK for $21. Am not waiting for Gamestop to get their act together.

May have also found a nearby craigslist Lucario/Sonic trade. Never used craigslist, but either way I just want to be done with the "musts" for this wave. >_>

I just thank god I'm not a Rosalina/Shulk fan. lol

I'm guessing he's going to be bundled with Mario Party 10, right? I wasn't interested in that game before before, I don't think a gold-colored Mario is going to change my mind.

I was lucky enough to get a Shulk order for May.

Quick question from someone who isn't that bright: are amiibos region locked?
I believe I've heard they arn't, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

They aren't. Region only matters if you're one of those crazy "I WANT ALL AMIIBO SEALED AND IN A NORTH AMERICAN BOX" collectors.

No, they're not. You can use an amiibo from region A on a console from region B. :)

Thanks to both of you!
I found something reasonably priced on the web, but it was a japanese one, so I figured I'd ask first.

Imported DeDeDe and it only cost me about 25 bucks! All I need is Pacman, Palutena, and Meta Knight (who is 100% gonna be an import), then I'm out as far as the Smash line goes.

... Then again, I really like Smash Luigi's pose. Thankfully he's super common.

So I finally had good luck with checking websites to see if they had stock.

About an hour ago, Best Buy's online stock of Ike, Dedede and Meta Knight was constantly going in and out of stock for like 7 minutes. I was able to order a Meta Knight during that.

Not sure if I made the right choice given how for this wave, Shulk and Ike were my top priorities, with Meta Knight being a secondary thought.

I'm still in disbelief that they didn't think Sonic would be popular enough to mass produce him.
I highly doubt it's even all about popularity at this point.

Third Party characters probably are lower priority, as the companies who own them likely get a cut of the revenue made.

Then figures like Rosalina would just be more money to produce so they get replaced by a figure with a simpler design later.

I think Sonic will be common in Ireland though. He's huge here, while every other character coming here on Friday is a nobody in Ireland, even Mega Man.

Regarding NFC cards, here are what the Pokken Tournament ones look like. Maybe Amiibo ones will be something like these.

Still on the search for :4pit:, :rosalina:, and :4littlemac: in that order of priority.... and no luck at all :sadeyes: I hate to say it, but I think I'll just have to earn myself some more money and order one of each online and give in to scalpers...

I just hope I won't miss out on :4metaknight: this Friday, he's way too cool of a character to pass up.

I think I might have to bite the bullet and order :4lucario: from another region (Europe, Australia or Japan). Gonna hold out hope I can find :4sonic: and :4megaman: local, since they're not exclusives (Whose bright idea was it to make certain characters exclusive without actually sending out sufficient numbers?).

Annnnnd the post office ****ed up and either delivered my Sonic to the wrong house or lost it in their building somewhere. Wonderful.

Whelp, my Wii Fit Trainer is on its way. Should be here Monday and Ike from Amazon UK should be there the Thursday after. I think that should suffice for this paycheck though I'll try to snag a Meta Knight on Friday if I can.

I just got my Meta Knight in the mail today. Another happy edition to my Amiibo collection. I am rather impressed by his details. Now all I have to do is hunt down Sonic and Dedede, or... Order them online for about $25 a piece.

Look what came in the mail today during my 4 1/2 hour nap:



And so the dynamic trio of Mega RosaLink has been born:

Gamestop finally sent a shipping confirmation of my Ike/Sonic. Thankfully I haven't committed to anything else yet and was able to cancel my Amazon.uk order.

This Wave is hopefully finally done for me. Though now I have to decide on what to do with my extra Lucario. lol
