for future reference how do you hide things so that only gaffers can see it?
I'd like to know this also. Cause I got a few sites I'm sure few visit...
Wow dude same exact situation I'm in, except my estimated arrival is for the 5th. You have to wait 3 days after the estimated arrival date before opening a case against them which I will be. They posted a tracking number but that number has never registered anything as being shipped. I contacted the seller and they said they shipped it but I don't believe they did. Wonder if we have the same seller, a super_sam*** (censored the last 3 letters)?
It's for my nephew and I had hoped it would be here before xmas.
Use the email tag.
nope not like that i guess lol
close. You need to remove the part between the ] and the [/email] Quote this post for an example.
Nope, different guy. The most annoying thing is all the opportunities to get one for cheaper I passed up because I had one on the way.
Yep that works.
Just for people that know this is a reseller chain for items like this they buy in bulk from stores and typically are available at a later date... and they've never failed me once... and 99% of the time is retail price too...
My Captain Falcon shipped on the 31st from Best Buy but my Luigi and Pit are both in limbo on "Preparing Order".

Ike dedede and sonic up at newegg actually almosta all wave 3 is.
Also Little Mac, Pit, and Falcon say coming soon...
typically they say out of stock if they are coming soon usually means they haven't sold any yet... so might want to keep an eye out amiibros and amiigals.

So there's a chance this site will eventually stock most, if not possibly all the amiibo soon enough? Seems weird they wouldn't have any of them, even stuff like Mario who is the most common.
Yes I'm ready for Wave 3 to come and go. I'm really curious to see who's in Wave 4. I really would like Robin to be in it.

Awesome! Thanks! Going to keep my eye on Little Mac. He's the only one I need to complete Wave 2.
Yeah I tried to preorder a Shulk at a physical GameStop the other day but no dice. I do manage to have one from GameStop.com for in-store pickup, once the idea of amiibo's starting going rare happened. I ordered them all LOL
Yeah, Shulk's pre orders ran out in GS, its been like that for a while now.

Picked up Luigi yesterday. Now all I need for W2 are Captain Falcon and Diddy.
Definitely possible just a matter of when ive seen the common in the store already (I have one locally) and it usually pales in comparison to whats available on there site later for this type of thing. Also if anyone has a Hot Topic or Red Rocket locally id check both of them also.
I'm thinking about importing a Japanese Wii Fit Trainer amiibo...they seem to be about $30 right now, give or take a few bucks for shipping. I don't care at all about the packaging, just want to use it.
Might wait a few days though just in case it miraculously pops up for retail on the US amazon page again. The Japanese ones aren't going to skyrocket in price right, 'cause they aren't rare over there?

I think the main reason being that a lot of collectors (myself included) don't want Japanese packaging. I see them for really good prices on eBay but as soon as I see the Japanese (or American) packaging I ignore them. If anything, it makes it easier for other people to buy though. I'm considering importing Amiibos from other places so I can open those ones.
Yooo. So I just finished painting my first custom Amiibo.
Video here. Enjoy

Yeah buddy! Stick to those John the scalper douche bag. See that john?! Here is some ones money that you're not getting!
This is how i feel about the Villager amiibo. I don't care about packaging, I just want to one to use...but I don't want to spend $36 on it.
Nice job. Looks great.

I FINALLY found a Falcon amiibo in a Gamestop...but there's some damage to the box. To the point where I can shove my finger into an inches-long seam (...stop) on the bottom.
I'm debating whether I should (a) try and re-sell/flip it to someone who is trying to complete their collection, (b) contact Gamestop and see if there's somehow they can send me a replacement, (c) open it up and let the homeboy crash with Villager on my bookshelf?

Gamestop?
That Falcon was imported by Latamel. Thats Mexico's Nintendo Distributor... We have GamePlanet here.
Weird.
I'm pretty sure they distribute for all/most of North America, no? Cheaper than basing in Canada and the US. I remember seeing someone explain this when all the Wii U refurbs first started shipping.
Sorry, I took it down as soon as I realized
No worries, it's all inevitable. I just want as many gaffers as possible to get in on it while they can before John buys them all.
Little Mac is rare, Diddy Kong isn't
Going to be? Hard to say but I would buy Little Mac if I saw one. It's looking to be quite rare in the long run and is right now as well.
Me too, but I don't trust anything until he's in my hand.
They don't update automatically. It only happens once or twice a day. Sometimes when they get them in, they have to call the distributor directly because they fucked up and sold someone's preorder. Those still get scanned in like normal product as well.
You're probably seeing one of the above.
Only seen P-Diddy's at one store and absolutely no Mac daddy's.

If you're going to buy one, buy Little Mac. He'll likely be the rarest of wave 2. Diddy is uncommon but not rare.

My local Target has a ton of Diddy Kongs.
Well currently its impossibly unafforadable to print a proply coded nfc chip to work with smash... But yeah...
Hinestly I have this strange idea in my head that an exploit might be possible with NFC depending on if its locked down or not...
