Anyone know if you're able to edit shipping address on an order without them cancelling it or should I just take my chances that they ship it to my old place (with family living there to get it).?

Similar situation with me. I personally wouldn't chance it. I ordered 2 other amiibo that with eta next week. If those are delived to the post office locker, Jiggs should be fine.

 
I guess I can't get too angry since I managed to get Rosalina preordered months ago, and I wanted her about a million times more than Jigglypuff.

Also apparently wave 4 and Greninja go up tomorrow atTRU according to Twitter.

Looks like i'll be there at opening....

Same , i dont trust ToysRus online preorders aside from the ones on their ebay store. Not to say that their instore preorder is the best but it is tolerable at least.

 
With the GS SKU's having a "Bundle", I'm thinking that is the only way you can order 2 of a character later today.  I bet you can order 1 of each SKU, so 1 bundle and 1 of each individual Amiibo if you desire.  Just my guess... 

 
I got an order in on Jigglypuff thanks to you guys so thanks! Considering getting the bundle at GameStop just to make sure they don't sell my preorder. Don't want Wario though, screw that guy.

I don't get why people are complaining about putting down ~$14 up from vice a $5 place holder...
if that little difference is going to make or break you, then maybe amiibos shouldn't be a priority in your life...
Click to expand...
Yeah because collecting amiibos costs $14.

 
I'm just trying to catch up on reading this entire thread while refreshing.  Every time I get through 2-3 pages, a new page is added.

This. This is why I've missed so many amiibo because of work. Luckily, I'm off today and tomorrow. I missed Jigglypuff because I went to the bathroom to piss (that's how quick they went). You can bet your ass I'm driving down to GS for Ness later.

For me this is the worst possible day for the preorder to go up at GameStop. I only get a half hour lunch today and by the time I went to the store, waited for all the resellers in line, and went up to the counter they'd all be sold out and I'd be back late from lunch.
 
So I'm at work, haven't checked this since last night.

Am I correct that Jigglypuff was up on Target and sold out, Ness is only available in store at 2 PM CST, and no other Amiibos have gone live yet from wave 4?

Amiibos are essentially designed to be resold on eBay at this point. Anyone that actually works and has money can't buy them since they are at work when these things go live and all the dipshits reselling these things who don't work can just go order 10 of each.

And I don't know if more stock is the answer. Resellers would just order 20 instead of 10

This x1000. All amiibos are now are either the ultimate hunting game for rare items, or prime real estate for scalpers and eBay users. Example, it's for people who love the challenge of Black Friday and trying to find the best deal on something (this is the ultimate test/game). Or this is just SDers and resellers best bet now to make a profit from collectors. I am out of the amiibo business until Olimar, ZSS and Bowser Jr, who come out in September. Otherwise, unless I see one amiibo I want in a store, no rush or anything, I might get a Ness or Dark Pit, but not gonna spend a dime extra for shipping or such. I will only pay MSRP for these anyway, which I still think is to high.

I do think that extra (even double) stock would eliminate this. Problem there is that retailers never care to set limits on how many one person can buy. It's the same for them whether one person buys 20 or 20 people buy one each, they just wanna sell their stock.

That said, best of luck to everyone on fining these.

Sigh, I was on the final steps of ordering Jigglypuff when my boss walked in and had a 10 minute conversation with me, by the time I was done it was sold out. Won't be able to stand outside Target on may 29th so this may be the first amiibo I miss if it doesn't go back up.
 
Can't believe I actually got a preorder for JP in. Has anyone heard of GameStop will still be restocking Shulk and Ike in May? I preordered Ike back in January but haven't heard any updates.

Well I think the answer is fairly obvious. It's your boss and your job that is the problem. They are getting in the way of amiibo hunting.

 
The amiibos are fun to collect however I really do not think they are collectibles for the simple reason of there are tens of thousands of these amiibos out there. Not to mention the re releasing they do only increases the number out in the world. Don't get me wrong I love Amiibos and love to collect.

fucking hysterical. I'm on the computer, and apparently because I was I missed out on Jigglypuff. Trying to save all this info on my phone so I can have both open tomorrow.

By creating a Target account you can manage the profile to include the preferred payment method, shipping address, etc. From there you can place the orders from mostly any device (when working properly...)

As mentioned a bunch here before, getting a Target RedCard is a great idea. No cost, gets you 5% off and free shipping (i think) on everything.

After all the replies, I'm seeing a possible correlation. Was anyone able to preorder using a computer only? Or were the only successful people using the Target app?

Did Target.com screw me over for using a computer to preorder?

I used my work computer. I haven't received a confirmation email but they did charge my card.

Yeah I had already logged in on Target, had all my info saved but it still wouldnt let me add to cart and I tried the second the first person posted it was live. So opened about 3 other browsers, tried the app, then tried mobile...not sure why it worked for some but not others.

For those who know how to import via an import service, Amazon Japan has Splatoon Amiibos live! The 3 singles are still available but the 3-pack sold out as I was checking out.

Limit 1 per customer.
Click to expand...
wow so NA intentionally makes the squid inkling only in the 3 pack. now that I think about it, did EU etc have bs store/bundle exclusives for Skylanders?

 
If anyone had got extra jigglypuff and want a gold mario let me know.

I don't even care for my gold mario at this point compare to jigglypuff.

Now I play the waiting game for a dark pitt amiibo!

Thanks, managed to set up Target. What about TRU? Their app seems pretty boned, and even from the website I can't seem to find a way to save my credit card.

 
I got an error message that said I exceeded the amount allowed to order even though my cart was empty. Also couldn't even find a tab to select any number what so ever. Jigglypuff not in the cards I suppose...

Yeah any major retailer should allow this option. TRU screwed up pre-orders worse than anyone before, but I did get a free gift card, free Captain Falcon, and still got my Lucario after all so actually they handled it the BEST! haha

 
Guess I'm screwed for Ness. Missed out on Jigglypuff but that's not a shock. Not the end of the world. I guess I should have ordered Ness and Charizard from Amazon UK when I ordered the other figures. Ridiculous that things are actually getting worse the longer this goes on. Guess it's not really a surprise though because what do Nintendo or the retailers care if everything goes straight to eBay? A sale is a sale.
