This thread is where all of us Amiibo addicts gather to fuel our obsession by helping one another track down buy, sell, and/or trade Amiibos so we can all get our hands on the ones we are after.
-
I anticipate this thread will become filled with people looking for Marth. I'm one of those people. :( I haven't seen any of the rarer Amiibo in stock in my area, but I'll be sure to keep a look out in case somebody here needs one.
-
An additional possible use for this space could be discussion/recommendations on amiibos to either preorder on anticipation of rarity or buy if stocks appear to be running low. Since there aren't more amiibos out currently the preorder discussion point might be worthwhile. Any thoughts on which to look at?
My money's on Little Mac, Pit, Captain Falcon, Ike, Sheik, and a few others. All retail exclusives are a given.
As I said in a related thread:
"My policy is as follows: Any fire emblem, obscure, new, or retail exclusive character is going to be mandatory preorder, everything else can probably be left to a later time. I learned my lesson after that $27 Marth off of ebay, though even that's a steal compared to what it goes for now."
-
"My policy is as follows: Any fire emblem, obscure, new, or retail exclusive character is going to be mandatory preorder, everything else can probably be left to a later time.
I think this could get flipped soon ... with the mad rush for people to pick up Marth, next wave could see everyone securing their pre-order on the more obscure characters and the popular stuff getting left on the shelves. I do think that the retail exclusives will tend to be harder to come by.
Since its mentioned, I havent seen anything saying that Rosalina is indeed an exclusive. Hopefully some news on that will pop up soon.

Nothing's announced yet but there's not really any other reason it wouldn't be showing up on preorder lists for all major retailers. Speculative but highly likely.
-
Just not sure why hers would be left to speculation when the others are well known.

People don't learn like that. For proof, see every single limited edition game / preorder bonus / etc. that's advertised for months before launch and then after the game comes out people are paying crazy premiums on eBay to get them. Every. Single. Time. :P
-
I haven't even started thinking about the next wave yet. Blargh. Guess I'll start preordering some of those now!
-
Lucario is available for preorder again on Toys R Us's website!!! Get them now before they are gone again.

People are posting that they have been spotting wave 2 Amiibos. They are supposed to be hitting the shelves in 2-3 days but keep your eyes out.
Also have heard mention that Target acknowledged Rosalina and will be taking pre-orders at the beginning of the new year.
-
Update! I just called Toys R Us asking about the Lucario pre-order. While I was on the phone, the Nintendo rep was there putting out some of the wave 2 figures. I ran up there and picked up Zelda and Little Mac. There was not a Pit figure. She said that she never got that one and some of them will be released in another 2 weeks.
-
It seems Diddy Kong will be ESPECIALLY rare. preorders sold out in many retailers and others are accepting on backorder. if you can find Diddy Kong SNAG HIM.

Seriously? He's the only one I didn't preorder out of the 2nd wave >:(

Same. Target was still taking orders when I found out, but it said it won't ship until 12/30 and I worry I'll get one of those damned stock error emails with my order canceled. It HAD to be Diddy Kong that goddamned peon.
-
I mean, I don't expect to get through this without a white whale or two, just... ANYTHING but Diddy Kong
-
Went to my local Toys R Us tonight and they had a bunch of Diddy Kong, Zelda and Little Mac Amiibos. I believe Pit, Captain Falco and Luigi will be part of a second wave to come out some other time before the end of the month, but will be checking in daily at Toys R Us until they do. This seems to also be the case because there are currently no US/Canada sellers on Ebay that actually have Pit, Falcon, or Luigi physically in their possession, and the only sellers that do are international (Japan, Australia).
-
I got a notice on my Meta Knight pre-order that it will be shipping 12-31. Not sure if thats just a placeholder date or not. Lucario pre-order date on my notice says 02-01-15 as well.
I have been pretty unsuccessful in getting a pre-order in for Rosalina.
-
It seems like the Rosalina Amiibos sold out pretty quick. Has anyone even seen the preorders come back up?

It only says Sold Out Online but Rosalina has not yet gone up for sale, much to the confusion of everyone. If I see it get available the first thing I'll do is post about it. No idea why it doesn't just say "unavailable at this time" or something but no one's put any orders in yet.
-
I hope Rosalina becomes available for pre-order soon. I have 2 of each Amiibo in the third wave one pre-order (Except for Meta Knight and Shulk, with whom I have 3 of each). I missed Lucario.
-
One thing I wish to bring to the thread (for those keeping track of ROSALINA AND LUMA):
While Rosalina remains in a state of limbo, several posts on ebay have popped up claiming to be for the Rosalina amiibo
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xrosalina+amiibo&_nkw=rosalina+amiibo&_sacat=0 (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xrosalina+amiibo&_nkw=rosalina+amiibo&_sacat=0)
While some are hiding the fact that their listings are for the Japanese version in the descriptions, others seem to be vague, or explicitly state that it is in fact the US version. I'm thinking two possibilities:
1. Rosalina sold out faster than anyone was able to notice, perhaps under an hour (unlikely).
2. These sellers are anticipating being freely able to preorder it once it goes live to fulfill their orders, and their buyers will be stuck with no-returns purchases, having paid far more than they should have.
These posts seem to be relying on the fog covering this situation, as nearly all claim that it sold out immediately. While that's possible, and what the Target employee said on FaceBook was not misinformed, I have a hard time believing that it would sell out quite so fast, when even Lucario managed to hang around for nearly a month. Considering how strongly these sellers are pushing their no-return/cancelation policy, I'm led to believe that option 2 is the situation.
In any case, don't fall for those posts and keep your eyes on the target listing. I'd hate for this to be the gaping hole in my collection.

Oh thanks for the clarification. I wasn't aware of that situation. Thanks!
-
People are freaking out about Rosalina everywhere for some reason. My guess is that Target is just waiting to put out the actual pre-order option til later. Shulk, Meta Knight, and Lucario were pretty easy to pre-order, there isnt any indication that Rosalina is going to be any different when the time comes.

It's definitely hopeful since the Target listing now says "Pre-order now" instead of out of stock even if the button is grayed out.
-
Yeah, I noticed that this morning. Looks like we're getting close folks!

Important notice for the fellow Canadian VGCollectors:
The Shulk Amiibo is now up for preorder on EB Games' website!
Get 'em while you can. I'm not sure how long will last for or how long it's already been up for.
*Edit: Sold out for now. :(

FOR THOSE WHO MISSED LUCARIO:
According to the following:
http://www.amiiboinquirer.com/2014/12/16/amiibo-pre-order-cards-available-at-toys-r-us-lucario-included/
Lucario may still be available through an in-store reservation system. If you're bummed out you didn't get it, here's your chance!
-
Not sure if I missed something, but the Rosalina site still isn't allowing pre-orders. Maybe they sold out already? Still grayed out like yesterday.

Looks like it was live for about 45 minutes. Not sure if the system was overloaded with orders or someone jumped the gun. I seriously doubt that they sold out so fast, and I'm wondering about the legitimacy of my order...
In any case, the watching game continues. Sorry to get all excited. I'm amazed I was there for that tiny window at all considering it was 3am. Will reply when I see an update.

That's crazy! I'm glad you may have gotten an order in at least. We'll see if they honor it.

Yeah it is, and while I totally thought that this was going to finally give me peace of mind (the last amiibo I have to preorder) I have a new reason for it to keep me up at night worrying. Though I can't see any reason it'll get cancelled besides supreme dicketry.
I have a sneaking suspicion they're going to be be saving some for their shelves even after preorders are gone, like what toys r us is doing with Lucario. You could probably go in the morning of release and find them.

I found my Diddy Kong pretty easily at Target so you're probably right about them doing that with Rosalina. It's nice of them, but also sucks for us who like to not leave the house :P.

Here's the source on this all by the way:
http://www.amiiboinquirer.com/2014/12/17/rosalina-luma-is-in-stock-at-target/ (http://www.amiiboinquirer.com/2014/12/17/rosalina-luma-is-in-stock-at-target/)
Digging around I think it might be possible that they pulled her to evaluate their policy on selling her. People on reddit claimed to get in high number orders (15+) before the link went cold, which I could see forcing them to put in a x-per-customer limit. Asshats.
-
Yeah, still not working for me.
-
My GF preordered Rosalina last night while she was working. Thank goodness she is a nigh owl or else I would have slipped on getting one.
-
Yeah from my experience and others any preorders made feel like miracles. But again, I'm pretty sure there'll be more. Just a strange hiccup for now.
-
Target will have preorders for Rosalina up again sometime soon, official confirmation:
http://www.gonintendo.com/s/243897-target-says-consumers-will-have-another-chance-to-preorder-the-rosalina-and-luma-amiibo
-
Target is still being as vague as ever, but at least more reassuring than Toys R Us at the moment.
My Lucario & all my Wave 3 preorders got cancelled. Good thing I didn't cancel any of my Amazon preorders, still going to have to track down King Dedede day one though. And hopefully they let me preorder Lucario in-store tomorrow.

Same here, absolutely furious. And I can't preorder in-store because I'm moving across the country a few days before the release >:(
Gonna call them tomorrow and see what's happening. It's reassuring to know I'm not alone, wonder if there was some major glitch that affected a lot of people.
Also, Gamestop is still accepting King Dedede preorders:

On further research it appears this happened to many if not all preorders. Holy balls.

-
Ahh too late, I forgot about GameStop, might just do that instore as well tomorrow. Before anyone replied I got one a Wal-Mart, oh well hopefully I can cancel.
Yeah that seems to be the case. Someone hit the cancel all preorder button, since almost no one seems to still have a preorder at Toys R Us at the moment from what I'm reading. Even some Disney Infinite preorders were cancelled. So I doubt it's a amiibo specific issue. Hopefully tomorrow morning this will all have passed like a bad dream and they reinstate the preorders.
However since preorders don't really meaning anything, I got both Rosalina & Lucario on Amazon Germany. My safeguard if nothing goes my way.
Edit: Switched it to Amazon France, 10 Euros cheaper on shipping.
-
Did you have to make an Amazon.fr account to do that? Or will US accounts play nice?
EDIT: nevermind, figured it out.
-
Yeah US account, just got to live with having a few European boxes.
Can't wait until the rest of my Wave 2 order ships from Amazon, and Wave 3 starts to settle down. I hope by Wave 4 they figure out all the stock issues. I want to be able to relax and get away from this.
-
Yeah I'll try to order all of wave 4 on amazon immediately upon its posting. It's the retail exclusives that are driving me up the wall. I'll lose all sanity if my Rosalina miracle preorder dissolves into the mist too.
-
Lucario is up for preorder as of 7:43am Eastern time
http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=54369136&prodFindSrc=search&cp=
On the topic of pre-orders, I strongly recommend Gamestop's online preordering.
You can pre-order online without having to make a deposit, AND you can pay it off in the store like normal, so you're not throwing $100+ in one sitting.
I currently have on pre-order:
3x Shulk
3x Sonic
2x Mega Man
2x Ike
1x Bowser
1x Shiek
2x Toon Link
1x King Dedede
I also have preorder for Meta Knight at best buy, but I don't reccomend you pre-order online as you'll have a hold charge on your account until it releases. I had to put $5 down on a Meta Knight (which I pre-ordered 3)
After the crap I went through at my local Toys R Us (from not knowing anything about their own product to not honoring a discount), I would never recommend pre-ordering from Toys R Us. Nothing but bad experience from my Legacy Megazord, to my Legacy Titanus, and at least 2 games. Not to mention they charge $1 more than everyone else.
Lucario is the exception
-
Im basically done with this Amiibo thing. I have my ones on pre-order at Gamestop (Shulk, Pit, Mega man, Ike, Sheik, Toon Link) and thats all I care about. I do have a current pre-order still open for Meta knight at Best buy but if it cancels, Im not going to care in the slightest. I can not understand why NOA didnt realize that these things were going to be popular. My guess is their customer service lately has been blowing up on a daily basis with people complaining about the way these Amiibos have been handled. And honestly, I dont blame the people complaining. Skylanders and Infinity has been done almost perfect right out of the gate. NOA had years to research this and plan it and they fuck it up immediately.
-
Lucario is now down from toys r us site entirely. And now target has informed me that I won't be receiving diddy Kong. Does ANYONE have an extra they'd be willing to sell? I'll pay more than retail, just want to avoid ebay scalper prices :/
-
Usually the hold charges for preorders last a few days, it isn't all that bad. But yeah this preorder experience from Toys R Us has been terrible and they tempted me with the B1G40%. I really wasn't going to get them all but then I had so few gaps, it seemed worth it at the time.
I'm pretty close to done, I'll wait until Nintendo decides to reprint, I won't hold my breathe but It seems reasonable to believe with the high demand they just have to reprint. I just wish I had more confidence in Nintendo to reprint.
Wish I had more Diddy, My single Diddy is still in transit, so who knows if it's even a Diddy it came from Toys R Us after all. I didn't prepare for this type of situation. I doubt most people did, I'll check the stores nearby but I doubt there will be anything left, those places have already been ravaged.
-
Not sure if they are still up, but Toys R Us had Lucario preorders up on their Ebay store (however, I just checked and they're not up anymore), but I managed to buy one so we'll see if this actually ends up working out. At this point, I have 0 confidence in Toys R Us after they cancelled my original Lucario preorder, but I thought I'd take a chance and see if they deliver since they're under EBay's consumer policies and protection.
-
A couple new things have come to light, but there's still a lot to figure out and several parties need to come forward with better explanations.
First off, Rosalina will no longer be available for preorder from Target. Not because they sold out, however, but because the preorders came in so fervently they were afraid of it breaking their system and forcing them to basically pull what Toys R Us did. Instead, they will be stocking their stores with everything they were planning to sell as preorders (though every model sold through the tiny preorder windows will be fulfilled, luckily).

Secondly, a TRU employee, misinformed or not, told someone on facebook that an official email response will be coming with instructions on how to resolve the canceled orders. Not sure if that'll be the models we're looking for or store credit, but it's something.
Source: http://www.gonintendo.com/s/243991-toys-r-us-working-to-correct-amiibo-cancellations (http://www.gonintendo.com/s/243991-toys-r-us-working-to-correct-amiibo-cancellations)
It's very easy to see why so many people are getting fed up. Though honestly part of me loves this crazy shit. It's what makes being a collector so exciting. Once you remove emotion from the situation it turns from a situation of anger and disappointment to one of continued calculation. I actually sort of appreciate having to work a bit for these, I'm sure this is what Star Wars action figure collectors have been feeling for decades. I'm sure many will disagree, which is absolutely fair. It sucks to feel cheated.

So are they saying that I pretty much need to take my chances on Feb 1st and hope the store has some in stock?

There's a new official statement from Toys R Us, but so far the situation's still shrouded in some mystery.

Oh no, not TRU, to hell with TRU, they've caused me nothing but grief in the past. If the cancel this pre-order on me they can forget any future business. I was referring to Rosalina.
While I'm at it, does anyone know where i can preorder the japanese Rosalina?
Also, when i'm out shopping Tuesday, I'll look for spare Diddy Kongs, unless you want a Diddy Kong from the french site.
-
Basically yes. Though since there are probably very, very few preorders, I'm going to assume they might end up being fairly common, at least on launch day.
I'll recommend what was recommended to me for Lucario. Order a European version off of french Amazon. It costs about double what it costs in the US (~$30). They are currently in stock, and you just log in with your American account.
http://www.amazon.fr/Amiibo-Super-Smash-Bros-Harmonie/dp/B00Q6A56C0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419065953&sr=8-1&keywords=amiibo

If you're set on a Japanese version, get it on Play-Asia. Those are around the same price ($20 for amiibo, $10 for international shipping from Hong Kong). However, the listing won't currently let you buy. They seem to be waiting to see if they get more stock.

-
Amazon France is better if you're ordering more than a single amiibo. For both Rosalina & Lucario it was $39, $19 each + whatever the the bank fee is.
For Japanese Amiibos you can also try Nippon-Yasan haven't personally used them but it seems pretty safe, was considering importing a LE 3DS from there. They have amiibos for around $12 but with 2-3 day shipping from FedEx it'll be roughly the same as Play-Asia. However shipping gets cheaper the more you order. However same situation as Play-Asia they're waiting on more stock it seems for Rosalina & Lucario.

Has anyone spotted Pit yet in a store? There are a few on Ebay, but not enough to suggest they're out there all over the place yet.

I dunno, my best buy preorder still has the pick up date as the 30th

From what I understand, Pit, Capt. Falcon and Luigi got really late shipping, supposedly they'll be available around Dec 30th

I've seen a ton of Luigis since earlier this week, and I grabbed a Captain Falcon last night at Target. Pit is the only one that I cannot find anywhere.

No store nearby have anything, but you should try it out yourself.

Gamestop's website has Diddy Kong and Captain Falcon available for buy
EDIT: It will not let me add Captain Falcon to my cart, I made it as far as checkout and removed itself
-
I wonder if that means my Captain Falcon preorder is available for pick up.
-
yeah, I just refreshed it and it's already out of stock again
-
That sucks lol. I'm just glad Toys R Us reinstated my preorders or else I'd be so tired of all this lol

Wasn't that a delightful email to get ;D
-
Wish it went that smoothly for me, everything except Lucario was reinstated, just gave up and cancelled everything and went in store today and got 2 preorders. Plus dropped by GameStop got King Dedede preordered and bought a Luigi since who knows when the rest of wave 2 will ship from Amazon. Now to wait for Wave 4 preorders.
-
Gamestop's got Pit in, good luck finding one without a name on it though.
-
I got mine today. :)
-
Captain Falcon is back in stock on Gamestop if people still need one, Shulk is no longer available for preorder
-
Man, all this amiibo stuff is crazy. xD I kinda want to buy one, but I'm not really into Nintendo, and I'm afraid I might be tempted into buying more. xD
(Unless I happened to come across a FE one, of course.)
In case it helps, my local stores had a link figure, a Mario one, DK, Kirby, Peach, Daisy, Pikachu... and I think that was pretty much it. In case anyone is looking for any of those. xD
Good luck with your searches/pre-orders! I feel terrible for your wallets. ;P
EDIT: Link is no longer available, and those were Zelda figures, not Daisy... whoops. xD No Mario either.
Aaand I bought Samus. Dx I wanted to buy a few more, but Hastings puts those freaking huge stickers right over the box art. >~<

Yeah if you jump in late into the amiibo craze, you're probably going to have to rely on getting imports or paying the inflated price on the rare ones. All those you mentioned are pretty easy to find. Some are getting uncommon but I doubt those will be fetching too high of prices any time soon.
Also, I might have an extra Pit coming since, I reordered one at Toys R Us to save a few dollars, hoping it was going to ship before my Amazon one so I could cancel but, they're preparing to ship that one. So if Toys R Us pulls through, I'll probably have an extra if anyone is interested, $14USD + whatever shipping is going to cost me. I'm open to trades but, I pretty much have everything besides Pikachu & a Rosalina preorder.

I don't plan on getting into it... at least, not to THAT extent. I might pick some up on occasion, but (at least right now) I don't particularly want to collect every single one.
Then again, I didn't plan to even buy one lol. 9.9;

I am still uncertain whether or not I'm getting a Pit, but if no one has claimed dibs on it yet, I'd be interested in it. I'm going to wait until the end of this week to see what happens with me either getting one or not and I'll let you know :)
-
Does anyone have an extra Pit they'd be willing to trade/sell? I have an extra Falcon and Diddy for trade.
-
I was waiting for Toys R Us to confirmed my order before I said anything else. It seems they've located it in stock. So I probably have it for sure. Once I have it in hand we can work something out if you want.

That would be awesome! My Pit preorder is in limbo right now; I preordered it at Best Buy, got the text that it was in, went to go pick it up and it ended up being Captain Falcon. I guess they had not got Pit in, much to several people's anguish. The manager said that he might be coming in on Friday, but who knows.
-
Got the email yesterday that Toys R Us actually shipped my Pit figure. I guess I can trust them now?

I went there this morning and word is that they'll be getting them in between today and Saturday.

Would it be possible for someone to preorder me a Shulk from gamester in the states?! We can preorder them here in canada. I can pay for you it obviously including the shipping. Or I could trade you a Diddy Kong extra amiibo I have brand new still sealed in the box :)

I think you may have missed the boat on that one :/ preorders sold out a while ago. You could have someone try their luck for one in store... but I think the cut off for preorders has passed. Unless in-store preorders are still being taken? Anyone know if that's still an option?
-
Getting my other Pit on the 10th, so if you can find elsewhere go for it. Otherwise PM if you want it. It'll probably be $16-17ish shipped in the US.

I'm just throwing it out there, not trying to be a scalper or puff my chest, it's just my raging inner collector.
But I have locked down (by that I mean I've paid them all off) Preorders for:
Bowser x2
Toon Link x2
King Dedede x2
Ike x3
Mega Man x3
Sheik x3
Sonic x3
Shulk x3
Meta Knight x3
Lucario x1
Lucario x1 (Japanese import)
Rosalina x1 (Japanese import)
I'm strongly willing to trade any in the future if anyone can help me out in getting a Villager (as he's the only one I'm missing)
-
Important info! Nintendo will be reprinting the Marth Amiibo according to this morning's Nintendo Direct. :D Robin and Lucina Amiibo figures have also been confirmed. Hopefully this means we'll see some more rare Amiibos getting reprints soon.

I wouldn't know where to order one for regular price that would also ship it to the US, 29,95 Euros is a bit more than I care to pay for a single amiibo.

What I wouldn't do to get a US Shulk right about now... He's the one I regret not being able to preorder.
The only ones I'm missing are the Unholy Trinity from Wave 1 (Marth, Villager, and Wii Fit Trainer) and the four exclusives in Wave 3 (Shulk, Meta Knight, Rosalina, Lucario), and I just outright refuse to pay outrageously high prices for them because people are hoarders on eBay/Amazon. :/
-
The Nintendo World store here in New York apparently has all of the next wave in stock, INCLUDING THE RETAIL EXCLUSIVES...
But there's a blizzard....
They're there...
waiting for me...
and I can't have them...
-
Anyone have a spare Capt. Falcon I could buy or trade for? He's one of my favorite smashers and I'm kind of sad I missed out on him :'( :'(
-
I have 2 Rosalina Figures or Sheik up for trade. (US version)
If you have King Dedede, Gold Mario or Toad I'd be willing to trade. (must be US version)
Would also except Meta Knight, Mine has a crease and would like one in better shape. :P
I'll update this list as things change.
-
Have an extra Rosalina to trade for a Captain Falcon. He's the one Best Buy screwed me out of, and the only one I'm missing (not counting the wave 3 ones I have preordered at GS but they haven't gotten in yet).
-
Looking for Fox and Shulk if anyone can help me out please PM me, thanks!
-
A local buddy of mine asked me to post this here.
He has a spare King Dedede (US) and he'd like to trade it for either a Marth or a Pit.
(http://i.imgur.com/KEq8h5Y.jpg)
I suppose I'll be the one that does the trading so if you're interested, lemme know.
-
As for all you looking for amiibos, I have some up in my collection that I might be willing to trade or sell. I will be open to offers, but please let them be reasonable. PM me if you want to give an offer. Thanks everyone.
-
So last weekend I went and pre-ordered Ness, Robin and Lucina from EB and managed to get them all. Yesterday I got a call from them saying they had to cancel Robin and Lucina but Ness was safe :'(
If anyone has two preorders or happens to find one in the wild I'll gladly buy/trade for them :)
-
i got two spare meta knights if anyone still needs one.
need robin and lucina and gold mario still
-
I have a spare Greninja, and like everyone else I'm looking for Robin & Lucina. :( Also still need Captain Falcon.
