Just got to the one I'm going to, there's one guy sitting in his car on his 3DS, if he stays in his car, I'm staying in mine, I have to assume they have more than one MK... Right... Right?!

I got extras of all 3 by accident, and Shelf space is at a premium.

So, dedede and Ike are the most likely to be rare, yes?

Ike rare? Only if in the USA. I've seen plenty of Ike's around in plenty of stores in EU. Dedede i'd say is more rare. The premium one to get seems to be Shulk.
 
I think the next wave will be retro characters to go with the virtual console Amiibo support.

So
Duck Hunt
ROB
Mr Game and Watch
Doctor Mario

And maybe Ganondorf to round it out a little.

Meta Knight is looking bleak for me, so good luck to the rest of you. I will dangle trade bait for those who score multiples.

In line for Meta Knight now. Sounds like I will be able to get him. No idea on Ike/Dedede since I am 7th in line but we shall see I guess!
 
I'd love to go to my local bestbuy and see if they put a meta knight on the shelf for purchase, which i know someone is supposed to do the night before release so it's ready for the morning. But they couldn't even be bothered to put majoras mask and monster hunter 4 on the shelf last friday. I had to go to customer service and they looked at me like i had 3 heads and told me they don't have it. Then some manager went out to go get it. My bestbuy needs to get it together.

To those about to Meta Knight, WE SALUTE YOOOUUUU.

But seriously, if someone with an extra MK wants to trade for Pit, Falcon, Rosie... PM me.
 
Just got to the Los Angeles Best Buy on Santa Monica and La Brea, and I'm only #2 in line. Sweet! The guy in front of me says he checked with this store last week and that they're getting seven Meta Knights, so I should be good!

... Barring any assholes who try to cut at the last second, since they're apparently going with a horrible no ticket/"run and grab" approach at this store. Ugh. Wish me luck!

This still blows my mind. Retailer exclusive with only 7 figures available to the public. By comparison, my Target had about 40 Roselina. I'm hoping this will be a similar situation for Meta Knight as well.

Our best buy isn't some sort of store in the middle of nowhere...it's a part of the freaking mall.

Wait Ike/DDD are on sale today? I thought they had already been released? Sorry, I'm new to the amiibo craze.

Scattered release dates for some weird reason. Toys R Us already released those, and today is the day for Best Buy, though it's hit or miss whether they actually got them in. The only one they for sure got in is Meta Knight.
 
It's -4 outside. I know they have 5 extra MK's. If one more car gets here I'm gonna have to get out and wait in line...... The things I will do for Amiibos.......
