It's like dealing with children around here.

Scroll down to "Exclusives". Hey look. Half of them don't have the same exclusivity that we have in America. Yet we have the same packaging on all of North American amiibo boxes hence why they are all "NA amiibos" and not "US amiibos".

Lol. The only ones that didnt have the same exclusive wast Target because target canada waa gone before rosalina release.

Eb games is game stop in Canada. I'm pretty sure gold mario was Wal-Mart canada exclusive as well so sorry dude you are incorrect. Know what you're talking about before calling others names.

Nah, TRU and Amazon both had Gold Marios in Canada.
 
So out of all of them only one wasn't exclusive and that was gold mario. You can't count jigglypuff and rosalina because there is no target in Canada.

no retailer in Canada deliver to us addresses not even Amazon Canada

Are you referring to Amiibos or in general, because that's certainly not true about Amazon Canada delivering to the US if you're talking about everything. I've ordered quite a number of DVDs and Blu-Rays from Amazon.ca.

No he had changed what I said, so I did the same for him.

Honestly it was a simple question and he had to insult me. Which he got incorrect anyway.

same thing here telling me to speak English which I said what I said plain and clear as even you could see so you ain't the only one. I was just correcting with the right information also trying to help fellow cags from getting false info.
 
He just got caught being wrong and instead of just saying "oops my bad" he wants to stomp his feet and insult others that weren't doing anything but asking a simple question

I was just hanging here playing AC Black Flag and had my NIS up in Chrome and was already logged into Walmart.com so I could power through and not have to worry about signing in/credit card info

 
Is anyone else annoyed by the Line app's advertisements? I hear the ding, get excited, and see it's just Line sending me something about emojis.

Any way to turn those messages off??

Definitely not true. I battled with ordering Lucina and Robin for probably 5-10 minutes before getting an order in.

Wario, Charizard and PacMan were available well into the night.

They issued a correction about 2 hours later. Oh, and thanks for letting us know about this AFTER it was all over.

 
I wonder, if Nintendo released these so there were enough to go around, and therefore the only people buying them were the ones who planned on using them for their intended purpose, would these be a flop, saleswise?

I think I was able to mute the Line channels. (kinda like the Amiibo chat). Turned Notifications Off inside the actual channel (or message)

You mean if Nintendo released every figure to be commons like Mario and Peach? Here's my thought. If Nintendo chooses to make a bunch of every amiibo, then it will effectively take away three kinds of buyers in the current market. The Scalpers, the people who bought amiibos only after January due to hype and rarity, and the people who buys extras to trade. These 3 category of buyers probably represents the vast majority of the current buyers in the market for amiibos. There are very few I met that were original amiibo adopters prior to all the hype and only buys one of each figure for themselves. So if Nintendo decided to restock all the rare figures and make them common. The scalpers and hype driven buyers will drop out immediately. The others will buy just 1 instead of 3 or 4 to trade. Thus will result in tons of amiibos sitting on store shelves unsold, which Nintendo hates. This essentially causes a dilema for Nintendo. I think Nintendo has done the research on this, thus they're being very careful with restocks and will trickle them out very slowly. They won't make enough to meet demand because more than half of the current demand is fake to began with. Those demand will instantly dissappear if Nintendo decide to make all amiibos easy to obtain. As much many on here hates it, Nintendo loves the fact that there are tons of people currently buying amiibos that wouldn't have originally (scalpers and hype driven buyers).

Nintendo is just underproducing them because they are a bunch of cheap assholes. It's no secret that they are frugal in their manufacturing of products whether we are talking games, accessories or specialty software like these amiibos. They're terrified in this case they will make too much and be stuck with them so they go the cautious (and cheap) route of minimal production to ensure they'll never be over. But ultimately it's just because they're cheap...always have been with everything they've made.

 
I called a toysrus near me and asked if they are going to do the in-store pre-order for greninja

and she said "we don't do that any more. you have to wait until it actually comes out."

was I not supposed to ask the question as the info is not open to public? or the preorder not include some of the stores?

 
^Basically that. Yes amiibos are popular but just like most "popular" items, it's only selling b/c it's popular and rare. You take that away and people are no longer interested. Yes you'll have those people that just love collecting them but others will see no need to anymore.

This happened with Beenie Babies, rare LEGO's, Simpsons toys, etc. Whenever a company decides to actually stock the product, people lose interest. It's a basic business practice to limit certain items knowing it will drive sales of other items.

If that was the case than other countries wouldn't have an abundance of amiibos. Yes, Nintendo of America is dealing with a production problem but if anything that helps their cause.

We think Nintendo is losing something here yet amiibos sell out pre-orders, sell out day one, people purchase multiples, people buy entire sets, etc. Nintendo isn't losing a dim on toys that cost $2 at the most to make.

A game store in South Jersey (not my normal go-to game store) was selling all of their amiibos (read: common amiibos) for $20. Madness.

I tried checking out a variety of other retro game stores today, but it's like your barber.. if it's not the one you always go to, it just ain't right.
