Totally sucks. I thought we were over this too, and I'll believe the AC amiibo are at fault. I'd love to pre-order Loftwing, the new Metroid pack or Monster Hunter amiibo.

Everyone is reporting gamestop most likely won't have the monster hunter amiibos in store Friday. Just like with the rise amiibos they could be a week late. I guess the stores were told today. So these will be fun to get. Glad I got them through Amazon jp.

It's tough to say. The four champions from Breath of the Wild received reprints, but none of the other BOTW amiibos did. Nintendo never reprinted the Monster Hunter amiibos, either, and are being incredibly stingy when it comes to the new Monster Hunter and Metroid preorders. They're creating artificial demand to make people impulse buy and inflate those sales figures. The worst part is that it's not even fans of the series who are buying them, it's mostly resellers looking to make money flipping limited run amiibos to fans of the series. Bad business model for consumers all around.

Yeah, the 4 champions are the only ones I have. A reprint explains why they were still around but the other Breath of the Wild ones weren't.

 

I just remember when I'd go in the store and there was a whole aisle of Amiibos, Skylanders, Disney Infinity, and Lego Dimensions. I know the others went belly up, but I expected to still see Amiibos in the stores.

You can blame the scalper craze for that. Your best bet for the Loftwing is going to be heading out early on release day and scouring all your local Best Buy/Target/Gamestop/etc.

Ugh.  
 

At this point I hope Amazon Japan gets some extras and I can place an order there.  Not going to stalk the local GameStop daily hoping they get them.

Even having preordered the last set that came out for Monster Hunter Rise was a pain. I got no communication about the delay and had to call to ask about it. Then I got “if you haven’t been called we have nothing to tell you right now. Try back in a couple days.” They did eventually get them in but it was not a good experience.

They did that to me too. Said it would arrive a week or two late like everyone else. I called every other day and one day I called they said they had 2 of the 3 and had gotten them in the day before. I asked how long they would hold and they said that day was the last day, they only do 48 hours even though they were paid off. I went in and they had all 3 when I got there but what a pain.

[Kirin Lemon]

With all this uncertainty with GameStop, and a complete inability to place pre-orders, I just caved and ordered the three Monster Hunter amiibos from Amazon Japan. Even after international shipping, it ended up being slightly cheaper than buying from GameStop. Now I don't have to drive myself nuts checking my local store in vain every day.

[tubtub]

Guess gamestop.com didn't put the monsterbhunter amiibos up. They went from coming out 7/9 to out of stock sometime between 5 am and 530 am EST. Good luck to anyone trying in store today. I asked a couple and all said they would get them this afternoon or Monday but most only said they were getting a few. One store in a mall did claim they were getting 10+ of each.

Gamestop has/had the new Monster Hunter Amiibos online just now. I couldn't get them all to show in stock in chrome or firefox - so had to use the iOS app to add the last one and complete the order. Even saved my 2nd dip monthly cert to use! Good luck!

Can confirm - I was able to place an order (and cancel my Amazon JPN order from months ago), saving me ~$25.

[SgtWiggles]

Yup I got all 3 as well! Surprised they are still up, glad my body randomly decided to pee or id have overslept

[CrimsonWing69]

This is the way these things should be. Nobody stressing out or websites crashing. I was actually stressed out yesterday thinking about this since I have to work and I have a meeting at 11am so I can’t get to a local GameStop to try and get these.

[lionheart059]

Awesome, managed to snag all 3 and cancel my order at Amazon.jp.  Saved me about $20 and a couple weeks of waiting for international shipping!

[Blankboi]

Lol I think most ppl went to Amazon jp to avoid the headache of tracking these down at launch, glad everyone was able to secure the bag as I did as well…kudos

Thbaks guys! Got these about half an hour ago.

[n64ra]

Incredible that I could place an order!

[DanteWarrior]

These won’t last long

[Twilightsparkle]

Got an order in at GameStop.  Surprised the amiibo are still available.  I hope there aren’t cancellations.

[ElvisTheGreat]

On that note, it sucks the OG MHS amiibo were never released in the US.

[daver16]

Woo thanks was able to grab all 3!

[Josef]

Just ordered Ena and Tsukino just now for shipping.  Should be getting the CE of the game tomorrow when I go to pick up my preorder at the closest Gamestop.  I am impressed that these are up over an hour though.

[super1upqueen]

So I was supposed to get up like 15 minutes ago, but slept in a little bit. I wake up to find the MH Stories 2 amiibo had been going up for pre-order on and off since like 4am? So I'm like, "Yeah, I missed those." I check the website anyway and got all 3 of them. I am so stoked! My husband loves the little sassy girl Palico lol

 

My local Gamestop told me yesterday that they weren't getting these today, just like everyone's Gamestops have been telling them, so thank god for online orders. This was way less painful than I figured it would be!

 

EDIT: oh, I guess they were listed on the site at around 4-5am EST, but didn't actually activate until like an hour ago. I'm glad they weren't actually available that early, when only scalpers and their bots are awake.

[DanteWarrior]

Only Razewing Rathalos left. Other 2 are OOS

[SgtWiggles]

My CE just came in the mail, surprised since the original email said Sunday was the estimated date

[caggamers]

Meh. I missed the other Monster Hunter Amiibos at the last second but oh well. I'm not going to cry over the whole FOMO thing nor will I be paying scalper prices. If Amiibos are now distributed in a way where they're almost impossible to buy the normal way then I'll just miss out.

[mocheese]

Ordered the MHS amiibo this morning. Now The hunt for the MHR amiibo begins.

Personal use. One to use and the other for the collection. These would be long gone by now if it was the latter.
