Just what we need, split information... or is the other one just going to close?
The other will close. I picked a bad time as there are no mods online at the moment. :ziplip:

I'm on the site just about all day and have no other thread commitments. I promise it will be great, and will update with new deals in the title and more. Thanks for your patience!

Already showing as locked.

 
Glad we are getting a new thread. Hopefully we can keep out the unneeded crap out of this one.

On that note. I really hope Shulk comes in soon. I have a bad feeling lol.

 
got my Lucario, and now I just hope that my Shulk pick-up doesn't get messed up. Not to mention my Ike and Dedede form Walmart.

 
Unfortunate Prediction Time:

After the first 20K posts - New Thread was made, Amiibo interest at an all time high (partially due to rarity)

After the next 20K posts - New Thread starts to die, Amiibo interest is fading and turned into Skylanders.

I have been "collecting" for 2 months now, I do not like the trend that Amiibo have been taking.  Here's hoping to me being wrong!

as discussed earlier, the shulk orders that are store pickup are showing closed.....which apparently is "normal". Then why is my monster hunter 4 collectors edition still showing open and they both are being released the same day? hmmmmm.......same store location and everything

what is your #1 dislike with the current amiibo status?

 
Fun update on Newegg orders. I called again since they said last week I should get an update soon since the dates on the amiibo were for the 2/1. Apparently they have yet to receive stock on any wave 3 orders yet. They told me that they will mail them out in the order they were received once they get there stock in. 

I ordered Megaman, Sonic, Toon Link, and Ike

I'm not terribly worried as most places have not received most of wave 3 yet. But I will continue to keep everyone posted. Has anyone else heard anything from Newegg?

The Amiibo community seemed much more genuine to the idea of collecting Amiibo that mattered to them personally, not others. I remember Twitter's post when TRU had Villager up for $18.99 (after shipping) on eBay and I passed on it because I don't give a damn about Villager...still don't!

Now on reddit and sometimes here, I see terms like "unicorn" and questions about rarity, and the absolute worst, the "trader" who hates the "scalper" because the scalper buys all the Amiibo so that the trader cannot buy up all the Amiibo to trade. Meanwhile, Nintendo can't pull it's head out of it's ass to make a decent profit from a corporate standpoint, so I fear they will take the negative feedback from angry fanboys and retailers and flood the market, which will obviously now kill the momentum created mostly by resale value.

I think the Amiibo community would have been better of if we didn't go mainstream to begin with. Then, out of the 20K posts maybe 150 of them were of actual useful information, and unfortunately on the new thread this post is just another of many that do not provide value (an actual Amiibo deal and link!).

 
Is it sad that I will purchase an open box for my Villager amiibo since Im missing mine?

I had an estimated delivery date from Target between the 4th and 9th... Needless to say, she never showed up yet. I really hope my bad luck with Target doesn't happen twice in a row with my Amiibo orders :wall:

 
Do we have release dates on Sonic and Mega Man?
I finally got a delivery estimate for Sonic, should be here this Friday, one less that I have to worry about. The only one I need is Mega Man assuming Shulk comes through with no problems, I could use a domestic Ike and King Dedede but I don't need them.

Right, but do we have an idea when stores are due to start stocking both characters?

  • Ike [GameStop, Toys 'R' Us]
  • King Dedede [GameStop, Toys 'R' Us]
  • Mega Man [Toys 'R' Us]
  • Sheik [GameStop]
  • Shulk [GameStop]
  • Sonic [BestBuy, Toys 'R' Us, Walmart]
  • Toon Link [GameStop]
2/20

  • Ike [BestBuy, Walmart]
  • King Dedede [BestBuy, Walmart]
  • Mega Man [BestBuy, GameStop, Walmart]
  • Meta Knight [BestBuy]
  • Sonic [GameStop]

This Friday or next Friday, it's all up in the air as far as I'm concerned.
I read here that King Dedede and Ike are this Friday while the other two are next Friday, pick your battle.

this needs to be added to the OP

 
I'm sure this is the millionth time this has been asked but did we ever get a concrete answer on what's up with the GS store pick up orders being closed? 

If they really are cancelled, I'm SoL on Ike, Dedede, Sonic and Mega Man.:whistle2:

Couldn't have said it better myself. Scalpers == Traders, there isn't any difference (I will believe they are different the day I see a trader happily trading, say Villager, for a SSB Mario or Pikachu). They are the reason most of the real amiibo hype is gone (i.e. fans and collectors alike looking to get their favorites / a complete collection respectively) and replaced by the rarity and value instead.

I want a Meta Knight and King Dedede because I am super excited about Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, not because they are rare. I was super excited to get my hands on Mario on day one just because he is a character I like...

 
Can anyone tell me what their experience has been getting Amiibo at Walmart on launch dates? I'm debating whether or not I should be there on the 20th when they open, but I know their amiibo stock to be pathetic.

holy crap this question will not die, perhaps we can add this to the OP as well

the online preorder ship to stores are showing closed because GS.com has shipped them to the store and their end is closed, you should receive a text message on Wednesday notifying you that the amiibos will be available for pickup Friday

 
Let's get some deals! Be nice to go beyond just GCU although the GCU + B2G1 has worked out VERY well for me so far. All of wave 2 and 3 so far...
