Robin and Lucina are the times Im at work. :(

Is anyone able to hook my sad ass up with those two?
Well it's one per customer so sadly I can't  :(

And it will be a miracle if you can get your order in for that. I'm gonna try too, but I'm not getting my hopes up. ;)

On the bright side, my buddy scored me a Jigglypuff, so the only exclusive I'm missing is Greninja.
Yeah I'm really not hopeful, but hell it's not too much effort to try.

Sorry for the double post but I just got back from running around for these things. Got a Greninja (my toysrus had a bunch o.O), charizard, silver mario, and wario. My Ness is in the mail. No jigglypuffs for me  :(. Robin and lucina seem super sold out lol

I was refreshing the whole time, but apparently Lucina came into stock on Amazon & sold out and the page never even showed Amazon selling it for me.  ???

It's a half hour away and I'm done running around lol. I'll call tomorrow and see if they have any left though it's not likely.

Bobster, you are a gentleman and a scholar! Thanks to your encouraging story about still finding a Greninja late in the day, I went back out & checked out my TRU. What do you know, all of their Wave 4's were on a table close to the front & they still had quite a few Greninjas! :D I snagged 2 (my wife was with me, so she got the other - limit 1 per person) so if anyone gets an extra Lucina or Robin I'll trade.

These fucking things are worse than crack. How did I get sucked back in?  At least I can pass some up. I'm down to just getting the ones I like... except that damn Charizard. Why did I buy a damn pokemon?

Just waiting on Nes in the mail and Wave 4 will be complete. Surprised how easy it was to get these today.

From what I heard, stores are generally getting more amiibo's starting with this wave, though I still imagine it'll be tough depending on the store itself, except for maybe Gamestop.  Was listening to the Amiibo News podcast last night that was saying places are trying to get more than just a couple with each shipment lol

I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of stock each store had (went to Target, TRU and an Indi-shop that just starting carrying them), and with the exception of Greninja, I had the chance to get all of these and the ones i didn't get at least twice if I wanted. Even Lucina and Robin which seem to be the ones a lot of people had a hard time getting. I hope this is a sign to come because what I experienced today definitely gives me faith that Nintendo is finally starting to take this seriously.

i think the stores limiting the amount people can buy helped a lot.

Yeah it's been better, but I still can't find robin or lucina. It seems stores around me didn't get any.
