Reddit is reporting that some people that filled out the survey from GameStop are getting calls and they are ordering the ones that they missed out on for you. Sounds a little bizarre honestly, I guess I am going to go home and fill mine out then.

Cool can you give the link where they are discussing this? I filled out the survey but I never mentioned that I was only able to order Ness when I wanted Lucina and Robin too.

Random question, my manager is heading to Hsinchu City, Taiwan. He was wondering if anyone knows of video game shops in that area that sell amiibos. Last he went, which was like a month ago, he couldn't find anything store wise. Wondering if anyone is familiar with that area that would know. I'm googling it to see if I get lucky in finding a spot. I wouldn't mind picking up Ness that way if he can find a spot that sells them.

There's this underground Taipei city mall, i think it's about an hour away from his city.

Well I just filled out my survey. I basically did my best to give off a "if only I had gotten a Robin and Lucina amiibo then that would have been the best shopping experience ever" vibe. Interestingly my receipt states something along the lines of "you only have 3 days to do the survey" but obviously it's been more than 3 days since last Thursday and I was able to fill out my survey.
 
The desperation of this survey thing is pretty sad, though not as sad as that Reddit thread. The OP there and some other comment saying things like "I wrote about how I was so upset I didn't get to preorder the bundle and now have to camp out at competing retailers" and having that work is ridiculous, especially because if all the people calling for online pre-orders had it their way there is a VERY slim chance the bundle lasted for more than two minutes given how all the other sites have been.

But I imagine that they are the bot users who are just upset about actually having to do some legwork rather than a computer doing the heavy lifting.

 
Well thats pretty bullshit about the surveys, I didnt leave a negative one because I didnt want to screw over the employee was looking out for me. I only mentioned the system being slow and a few of the ones I wanted selling out because of it.

Now people are complaining and whining and getting slid in for effortless pre-orders. fuck Gamestop. Why not re-post them instore or actually post Online like they promised

Just trying to help people out. I'll try not to post much more information. I feel as though you get picked apart by vultures when you do.

I literally did the same thing. Filled out the survey with good scores and said the associate was cool and did his best, but I didn't get what I wanted due to no fault of the associate himself. Unfortunately, I did not ask them to contact me because it IS a good store and was under the assumption asking them to contact me would get the guy in trouble. Here's to hoping I get a call anyways.

 
I filled out my survey only because out of the two registers in the store the employee used one to get his bundle which was 1 of only 2 that got ordered.

Woah now that's against the rules and I would call corporate. They can't buy stuff when they're on the clock I believe. Either way you're supposed to let customers pre-order before employees. That I do know 100%

 
Funny, that happened to me too. But it was an off the clock employee behind the counter, who was taking up a register to order some for himself!

Again, call Gamestop corporate.

I'm not trying to be a butthead but come on. Corporate sends out these surveys to hear about crap like this going on.

Off the clock employees cannot be behind the counter, and for sure cannot be using a register. Also they cannot ring up their own transactions.

Right? Wouldn't he or she have to use their login info and all of that to even complete the transaction?

AND don't they have cameras in there? Should be an easy case.

Wait...what? What!? I didn't get any text alerts from NIS on it. fuck.

I want that 3-pack so very badly. :(

Me too it's the only one I'm missing now :(

I have the 3 pack, but doubt I'll be keeping it - if I don't get a trade, I'll probably sell for what I paid. Mainly looking for the 3 Pokemon this time around for my collection (Greninja, Charizard, Jigglypuff), but also kind of want Ness - I'm not in it for rarity, but it doesn't help that the ones I like the most tend to be exclusives :(

Have a sneaking hunch that the Splatoon pack will at least be Mario Party Amiibo common. What with it being a new series and needing any exposure it can get.
 
alright. I AM going to get all of the Smash characters at some point, but after that.... NO MORE. Missing all these pre-orders is too depressing. :(

 
of course when jigglypuff preorder was up, it wasnt working on mobile and i was nowhere near a computer so i had to go on desktop and enter every single detail in while it was lagging. ended up getting 2 by accident. and now it wont let me cancel one....i hope it doesnt cancel.

The employees did the same thing at my store, then the first guy in line got fuck ed out of the FE figures he came for. I guess I'll have to fill out the survey.
