kingddd Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) Went out today and every single wave 4 amiibos were literally for preorders only. No extras, no Marths, no nothing. Half of the Ness amiibos could not be fulfilled at ebgames. Our local Walmart had 3 silver Mario amiibos and some guy had to go in and hold reserve on all 3 of them. Only Pacmans were the only smash bros amiibos that were available to buy without preorder. Not a single splatoon amiibo was available either.

Tsunami922 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) So I drove around to a few stores to see what had survived the morning rush, and.. Gamestop had a few silver marios and and couple of both inkling children. Target had a few inkling girls and boys, and a single Pac-Man. Best Buy had about four Pac-Man, a Charizard, and a couple of silver Marios and inkling kids. Wal-Mart had a couple Charizards and few Pac-Man. I didn't see the three pack, Ness, Robin, Lucina, Wario, and the squid? (Don't remember if they sell that one separately) Edited May 29, 2015 by Tsunami922 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Don't remember if they sell that one separately) Silver Mario met the demand enough. Already trouble than it's worth to fulfill...it at least had an average of 16 in stock in every store. Both I went to had 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) Sara, you were right that my Jigglypuff order is okay! Cause she shipped. :D Although, when I click on track package, it says the tracking info is unavailable. Any idea why this is? Oh, and Robin still hasn't arrived... :( Edited May 29, 2015 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and Robin still hasn't arrived... :( Without a Tracking #, I would be comfortable to say that your Jigg has probably not yet shipped, or has at least, been packed but not yet been assigned a shipping tag & a USPS tracking #. Target shipping would have a clickable Tracking button above the "Shipped" bar, which would direct you to a USPS page and let you know the whereabouts of your package(s).

Anacybele Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) But it does have a tracking number, I saw it. o.O And when I clicked the track package button, it took me to a UPS page that simply said the info is unavailable. This has happened to an order I got before though, and I still got the Amiibo and all. Edited May 29, 2015 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each was announced to be put out on Amazon.Com some time within a 30 minute time gap (latency and such is likely why there's a gap).

Anacybele Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Yeah, saw that info earlier. Huh. Also, my Robin finally came! I'll have to post a pic later though, I have to get ready for the Pokemon concert. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) I was only stating facts about them being too much that people thirst too seriously for. Even though that these won't be useful after a few years...at least it still can be used to decorate your house after it's served it's purpose. They only need to regularly buy them and not resort to stealing...and, or scalping them. That is what erks me about them. *Giggle* It's by my avy. WELL Seattle's a big city! But it does have a tracking number, I saw it. o.O And when I clicked the track package button, it took me to a UPS page that simply said the info is unavailable. This has happened to an order I got before though, and I still got the Amiibo and all. Interesting. Then it's awaiting distribution and just chilling at the loading docks at Target Distribution. Congrats! How's he look? Edited May 29, 2015 by Elieson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think many GS employees kept one or two for themselves, but then again, I don't know the facts and IMO i wouldn't be bothered if a GS staff used their employee perk to keep stock for themselves. I updated my post above with Robin/Lucina/Splattrio links that bring you to a slightly easier to interpret site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anacybele Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Employees aren't allowed to hold stock for themselves, it's greedy and rude. They should be reported to their superiors if they're doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemma Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Lucina came in the mail today, and I also managed to snag Puff and Falco tradebait Greninja! Some people were outside Target and TRU since the night before... no worry about anyone in line missing the exclusives, but if you wanted Robin and Lucina, only the first handful of people got 'em. Our TRU also had some Marths. GameStop literally didn't get a single Robin or Lucina... But yeah, I'm gonna be sitting on this Greninja for a while. I'm looking to trade him in the future, so if you want one, you know where I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jotaro Kujo Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Pics of my amiibos! Lucina Charizard Inkling girl Charizard was spur-of-the-moment, I saw that there were two left at walmart drowning in a sea of Pac-Man (seriously, there were more Pac-Man's than Mario), and I was like "Well, I really love how this looks and this is probably going to disappear after today so I'll get it". Maybe I'll custom him into Mega Charizard X or something. The seams are bothering me but it's nothing a little Instamorph and paint can't fix so I'm not too fussed. I'm really happy with the Inkling girl because her tentacles look wet and shiny!!! I think it's a nice touch. She baffled my mom though because she wasn't really aware Splatoon was a thing so she wasn't expecting to see something that looked so radically different from the other Smash amiibos I have.

I can't make it out until tmrw morning but I'll go get you one if you still want it (as I need to go to a store next door to it in the AM).

My mains and secondaries plus Rosalina. <3 Ike and Luigi were my top two priorities, of course. And I also now have all the FE Amiibo I wanted!
