kingddd Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Went to my local ebgames store this morning at 9am and there was already a lineup with about 10 people already. We played a bit of smash 3ds and one of them challenged me to a one on one. He was a sheik main and we had a pretty awesome time together. He even told me I was the best player he ever faced against so far locally. That's a nice compliment. Also got a chance to talk with a FE fan who played all the local games so that was a nice conversation to kill time. We played a bit of FE:A double duel local. Funny part was that he was so underleveled that all my units had to do all the work for him hehe. He wanted Pacman, Ness and Robin. A lot of people in the lineup wanted Robin and Lucina. By the time the store was opened we had a 30 people lineup for the store. I'm really glad I didn't go to the downtown one. That one must have been sold out in instant. I got the preorder for Robin and Lucina put down so hopefully they can actually guarantee the preorder.

Anacybele Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) ^Man, that kind of thing is why I wish I could go to Nintendo-related gaming events more often. I got to play Smash with people locally on the day of the GameStop open tournaments just after Smash 3DS came out. It was really fun. I just wished I could've made friends with them, but they quit playing with me kind of quickly so they could play with other people...

Elieson Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I have hopeful news Greninja and Puff had 2 months of production, while Zard and Ness only had 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 That's been known for awhile. But people say that that doesn't really matter much, as we don't know NOW many figures exactly got produced in that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I'll remain optimistic in that puffs are easier to mass-produce than we think they are ^_^;;; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I'm hoping that's the case myself, so I can order one on release. I don't mind having a Jigglypuff. She is kinda cute. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) EB Games in Canada is doing Wave4 Preorders (no Puff/Gold Mario). In-Store only Wal-Mart is adding Product Keys for Wave4Amiibo. REV UP DEM F5 KEYS! Edited April 4, 2015 by Sara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) Too bad I can't get Jigglypuff from Walmart... I dropped by GameStop today, still no word on my Ike. :( But Walmart was Pokeplushie gold mine for me today! Eevee, Sylveon, and Glaceon. :D I also want to add Flareon and Leafeon to that set. These are my favorite Eeveelutions! And I think Eevee itself is adorable too. <3 I'll get new Amiibos soon enough though! I'm sure my Ike will come in someday. And I have a Best Buy Robin. x3 Edited April 4, 2015 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have a Best Buy Robin. x3 Plz pics your eeveelutions :) Also, Toys R' Us reps all over the place (two different reps, to me, plus other claims from /r/amiibo) have announced that, well: William Z.: Hi Chris - thanks for chatting with the 'R Us Family! My name is William Z.. I’m your ‘R Us Web Specialist. How can I help you today? Chris: I'm interested in a specific product, of which I have one in my cart. SKU#-6A7659FF Chris: I'm curious if there is any news on when it will become available for purchase William Z.: I'll be glad to assist you with that inquiry! William Z.: The Greninja amiibo will be released and available for purchase on 05/29/2015! Also, we will hold an in-store only pre-sale on Monday, April 27 with extremely limited quantities per store. Your local stores may not yet have this information, but stay tuned for further details! Chris: hmm Chris: when you say In-Store only, presale Chris: how does that work? William Z.: I am afraid I did not quite understand the last inquiry, sorry. If you are referring to the general info, you will be able to place a pre-order for the item, but only through a store's system. Chris: Oh, that makes sense. Walk in store, Pre-order at the counter (customer service/electronics/whichever location handles it at the time)? Chris: Not online Chris: Gotchya William Z.: That is correct! William Z.: Now that we've verified the options for ordering Greninja, would there be any other inquiry I may be of assistance with right now, Chris? Chris: Yes; is shipping handled the same as it would be if I ordered it online? What I mean is, can I opt for in-store delivery, or to-my-home delivery? William Z.: Sadly, we have not been informed about that detail, but most likely, it'll be to pick up at the store, unless they place an online order through their system, in which case, it may also be shipped.

Anacybele Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) Plz pics your eeveelutions :) Alright, here ya go. :3 I hope Jigglypuff goes up online again, because everybody here has to go to work on the 29th...

Elieson Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Sylveeeeeee~~~~~ I hope Jigglypuff goes up online again, because everybody here has to go to work on the 29th... 27th you mean? If anything else comes up I'm half tempted to just preorder what I can if I get fortunate enough to snag my time, just so I can distribute the 5 or so puffs around to those here who just can't get their hands on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I read that wave 4 comes out on May 29th... Sorry, should've specified. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Oh derp, gotchya. I thought you meant like if Puff would be out for in-store preorder on 4/27, like Greninja was announced mybad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Nah, that's alright, it WOULD make sense for Target to do the same with Jigglypuff. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Well it's official. Even Forbes Magazine has comments on the current amiibo fiasco with a factual and sort of entertaining yet brief article that any collectors paying attention have already seen and/or are going through right now.

Anacybele Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Someone posted a newspaper article on Reddit too, about a boy "bringing a game store to its knees" with a picture of the Ness Amiibo. lol It referenced GameStop's servers crashing and the fact that Ness is exclusive to them. Amiibos are the biggest invention since the wheel, it seems. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 !! That's why they put em on a wheel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenelincia Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Apparently the new wave of Amiibos got sold out pretty quickly with the preorders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Wario lasted the longest of every amiibo, reaching about 3.5 hours through Gamestop. Everything, even splatoon, are sold out pretty much so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Robin and Lucina lasted the shortest amount of time, I think... Which means I might've gotten even luckier with my Robin preorder than I did with the gold Mario. Damn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Same with Lucina for me. Hey at worst its trade fodder if you can stumble on another. Fe is in high demand after all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Yeah. Hopefully I'll find something I can use as trade fodder, I still would like Meta Knight as well. xP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omglmaowtf Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Seems Megaman has a Amiibo, will other 3rd party dev studios cash in on such collaboration? Can a Trevor(GTA) or Scorpion(MK X) Amiibo sell well with the Nintendo demographic? Even RE characters who are also from Capcom e.g. Wesker; will the Nintendo fanbase buy into those?
