This is my first try at getting an Amiibo (Ness at that ) and was wondering when it'll be announced and what's the best vendor to go through to pre-order it?  Thanks guys.

First off, don't do this:

Here's the problem: the preorders for the next wave, which include Ness, will probably be gone at each retailer's site within an hour. It's that crazy.

Your best bet to avoid this craziness is this: when you hear that Gamestop preorders went up, that day or the next day if it's later in the day, IMMEDIATELY go to a Gamestop and preorder it in-store. Online GS preorders precede in-store by a business day or less - this was the case for the MP10 figures.

The window will be tight, but in-store Gamestop has lasted the longest for amiibos, the Majora's Mask LE and the New 3DS Majora's system.

Take it with a grain of salt (salt jokes aside), rumour mill is running rampant...

 

"Potential preorder for Silver Mario today at Gamestop?

Wanna hear something fun?

Went to gamestop on a whim today while out getting cosplay supplies. They had gotten in about 30 megaman's, 20 bowsers and had 2 sonic's left. Picked up a sonic and megaman and the guy behind the counter said that, "I may want to stop in early tomorrow, there's a new amiibo sku in their systems thats slated to release tomorrow".

So have fun with that."

Total bullshit from a single GS employee. Why does anyone fall for this nonsense?

You guys do realize that 99.9% of the Gold Mario's "sold" on eBay right now aren't actually being sold, right? They're absolutely all being won by shill and troll bidders that aren't actually going to pay. No one is going to pay those prices before the thing is actually released since no one knows how hard to find it will or won't be. 

And how do you know this for sure? People are *very* stupid with their money. They could see a Sold Out and head right to eBay.

nope not fraud, custom amiibos are a thing.

Yeah, no one should have a problem with custom amiibos and their prices. People can charge what they think their time is worth. Some look professional, some look embarrassing.

I wonder if you can make a profit buying up the meta's on ebay before news travels to the west coast

You'd be fighting eBay/Paypal/shipping fees to turn a profit. It'd likely be a mistake.

Heading out now to get my preorder.

Honestly, when it comes to Wave 4, with all this nonsense about limited stock, and canceled or delayed orders, it wouldn't shock me if retailers just say F it and don't offer pre-orders. No sales until they actually have them in stock, only sell what you've got.

You shut your mouth.

Sold out in negative 30 seconds. New record!

Sarcasm incorrect!

OH MY GOD, I GOT ONE!

That's impressive - sold out in 60 seconds.

Ok guys, I'm going to stand up from my desk to take a pee. Ike and Sonic will come in stock momentarily - be ready!

What are the chances of getting a script that reads the posts in this thread and sends a notification when a link is posted from a retailer? That'd be nice. 

I'm really sad at how terrible this thread has been at catching Wave 4 preorders. Gamestop.co.uk had them, but they're already sold out of Ness, Lucina, and Robin (of course they are).
