I ordered a qty of 2 my order was not canceled those that had their order canceled did you only put in one order (either of 1 or 2)?

If you did multiple shipments its likely they will get canceled.

2 orders of 2. My brothers are going to be pissed lol. They left 1 order of 2 intact.

 
usually I don't go crazy but the store exclusives are usually the hard ones to get.  This little gold statue will be awesome on my shelf.  Like a little nintendo oscar.  I would have preferred the silver one though.  Wonder where that will be...

All of these people selling on ebay like 10 or more units, I don't feel bad for you. Selling pre-orders is selling something you don't even own yourself yet. It's never smart.

 
So can we confirm that just multiple orders are being cancelled but everyone is being allowed 2? I ordered 2 orders of 2 because my brother in law wanted them and I knew they wouldn't be up long. I hope they don't cancel all 4, I would cry. 

 
My first order (for 1) got cancelled. The second order (for 2) seems safe. Good thing, too, cuz I already told someone I got them one.

they're leaving everyone's orders of two. They were pretty nice about this considering I ordered 3 and they let me keep the order of two instead of the order of one. Damn though haha

 
i not confident that my order is secured, I already got an email from walmart saying my mega man is getting delayed. I wish this got exclusive somewhere else.

So it is likely that they cancel 1 of my orders of 2 and leave one order of 2, correct?

Doesn't mean a thing. My GS had about 15 Ikes pre orders for before the cut off date. They only got 7. I didn't get mine. It happens.
Click to expand...
the 15 ikes preordered were probably multiples, it was 1 per person.

ehorre01 said:
Who do I complain to? I called GS and they shrugged it off as part of the delay. Any tips would be appreciated.

If you have a receipt from them do a survey. If you don't have one, buy something real cheap from the store and then do a bad survey and you will get a call from the district manager. Someone a few pages back had a direct link to complain to the district manager but I can't find it.. if anyone else has it.

I don't think Gold Mario will be too difficult to find in stores. In relation to the other big stores that carried an exclusive, Walmart has many more they will need to supply and therefore will need to have many more manufactured. Here is a little breakdown, with Gamestop being the exception:

1052 Best Buy stores
893 Toys R Us stores
1790 Target stores
3275 Walmart stores
4434 Gamestop stores

This is all operating in just the US, since they are US exclusives.
Click to expand...
that means nothing at all. It actually means each walmart will be getting less than other stores. This is the first limited edition amiibo, it is not going to have more quantity than a rosalina.

Lol, so you still got 4???

For now, we shall see. Depends on if they flag the name on the credit card since my wife has a card with my name on file. Worse comes to worse, I have to refund two people that bought them from me on eBay. I'm a shameless "scalper" if you want to call me that. I look at it more as offsetting the cost of my video game / amiibo hobby. I don't usually pay more than retail, but far be it from me to stop people that are willing to.
 
 its kinda weird they're offering free shipping for a 12.99 order... makes me wonder how they're going to ship this lol.

 
Had it in cart when it went up, but apparently you can't checkout on Walmart.com with a phone. What's next you can't buy it with CC, cash or paypal, but with your soul.

Doubt it, Bestbuy didn't even do that for Majora's Mask

I noticed that as well but when i ordered 2 dedede's the other day they wanted to charge me shipping so i changed it to instore pickup but these marios get free shipping.Oh well it works for me i guess.

I think more likely they go by address not name

It really is! I love watching/hearing live sports on TV while playing Mario Kart 8. Some people don't get it, but casually watching TV while casually playing video games makes the WiiU worth it.

(That plus the endless supply of exclusive games - obviously!)

Count me in on people in support of the gamepad (and other devices that support remote play like the Vita). Having a daughter that wants to watch her Monster High movies on Netflix, I can play games like Bayonetta and Diablo while she's awake and we both can be happy. Either that or when the wife is watching Grey's Anatomy or one of her series instead of when we watch our shows together.

or you guys could just play games on a 3DS if you're just going to look at the screen the whole time.

STEVE05 said:
As someone who watches quite a bit of sports, I agree.

The gamepad does have it's fair share of problems and even some games (like the recently released Kirby) doesn't exactly use it in the best way. But, if used correctly, the gamepad can definitely be a benefit. I'm interested in how Mario Party will make use of it for sure.
Click to expand...
I think the gamepad is pretty low quality, it has very bad touch response. Now if it was like an ipad quality that would be great

brian_fin said:
To further derail us off topic I really like the game pad as well, and Wombat saying his hands are too small to hold it sounds like total b/s as an excuse. What?!? It's not 3 feet wide.

I'm surprised they haven't taken advantage of it more than a convenient place to throw an inventory/map. You could make some great party games on there with one person having their own private screen. Seems to be it's biggest selling point.

wii party u has games like that, same with nintendo land and i'm sure mario party 10 will have games like that aswell.

Considering they regularly ship 3DSXLs in nothing but a thin bubble envelope (actually, they did it to me twice when they were selling that Gold Coin Mario 3DSXL around the holidays and both the original order and the replacement that they assured me would be properly packed came badly damaged because they shipped them in those crummy bubble envelopes), I wouldn't count on great packaging on a small item like this from Walmart.

 
Doomstink said:
Did you just get one? How did you order. Nothing is letting my order go through? I've been trying for 5 minutes now.
Click to expand...
My order was placed 8:23pm EST from my iPad (Safari browser, desktop site/not mobile). Was already logged on to Walmart account, payed via Paypal so it checked out faster.

I hope that helps you. Good luck!

EDIT: As of 8:57pm est its still avaliable for pre-order.

This is excessive but a small part of me wouldn't mind reaching this point in my reselling. My issue would be I wouldn't buy out a store, make multiple orders or travel to too many places to get all of this.

I'm sure I'll get hate for saying that but that's a good $3k if not more. Pay for my bills for the next few months.
