Just for comparison's sake, my Disney Infinity Elsa and Rosalina amiibo.
Their poses are similar enough to confuse so when you go to buy Rosalina tomorrow at Target, rush on over to the Disney Infinity section and yell, "Rosalin's over here!" and hold up the Elsa figure. That'll divert the attention of all the scalpers and you can go fetch the real Rosalina in peace.
haha! I bought Elsa the other day and did the same thing! xD
I wonder if it was one of the new guys that they were training. Sorry about your package though.
Just make sure to put the amiibro word somehow, no matter if it's totally random placed.
Unfortunately no, I was in Philly for the past few days. But that's where I was able to pick up Toon Link, Bowser and Sheik. I would've gone there if I was home though. Were you able to get a Lucario yesterday in Manchester?

Okay, so some cities won't work for me but before I post the ones I've gotten so far, you can call your local store, push the button for electronics and have the employee use the merch locate function on the register and use this number 207 00 5021 this will most likely be quicker than me trying to do everyone's. Since I'm on the floor when I do this, I'm helping guests and unlocking things.

That link will have the two people in Tennessee, the Michigan store, the Pennsylvania stores, and Ohio stores

I don't want him actually, but I just found a Lucario on the shelf at TRU. Really surprised to see him. Bowser was the only other new one out. Bought Lucario for a friend.
Any way you could check Las Vegas, NV...?

Hmmm, I'm in Michigan, & while some of those are in towns over an hour away, it seems to be an average of about 20. Think I might be okay.

Gamestop is the only place I trust to deal with amiibos
@tapezilla is giving away a Rosalina -- https://twitter.com/tapezilla/status/561594048331644928 -- just gotta review the show on iTunes. Imagine the entries are pretty low.

I'm not sure how it's all tied together but, from Suncoast Wikipedia page... so it seems Best Buy loosely owned them for a stretch. I just remember seeing Best Buy price stickers at Suncoast for a brief period.
***The first Suncoast store opened in Roseville, Minnesota, in 1986 as Paramount Pictures. In 2007, the Rosedale location closed.
***In 1988, the Paramount Pictures stores changed its name to Suncoast Motion Picture Company.
***In 1999, Musicland launched websites for Suncoast, Sam Goody, and Media Play.
***In 2001, Best Buy purchased Musicland, and in 2003, Sun Capital Partners assumed Musicland's liabilities from Best Buy.
***In January 2006, The Musicland Group filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.
***Trans World agreed to purchase all of Musicland Inc. stores.
***In February 2006, it was agreed that Trans World would only buy select Musicland Inc. stores.
***In late March 2006, Trans World Entertainment Corp. completed the purchase of nearly all of the assets of Musicland Holding Corporation for $104.2 million in cash and $18.1 million in assumed liabilities. Trans World will retain the Suncoast Motion Picture Co. name on about 170 stores. Most stores in malls with an f.y.e. were closed regardless of performance.
***On December 26, 2009, Trans World Entertainment Corp. decided to close around 150 stores nationwide. Many of them were Suncoast locations. (The closings also included underperforming f.y.e.'s and some remaining Sam Goody locations.)
Yeah mine's been awesome with it, but they are great in general with niche and limited things.
Every time people bad mouth GS employees I try and tell them that there are rarities that know what they're doing (and I used to be one of the good guys too
) should've guessed. Hopefully we and the rest of GAF will have better luck with Ros tomorrow. I'll be the guy with the Buffalo Bills hat on, collecting those StreetPasses haha.Maybe it's just me being familiar with the characters but I don't see how they even look alike.

Thanks a bunch man. I'm gonna go to a different one I think. 8 of them is a joke ;-;
The one I was intending to go to only has 12 but I'm thinking if I still go early enough I'll be alright. Hopefully...
I'm scared haha

Well, I know the Target I shop at is getting at least 16 Rosies. I was browsing the DVDs, came across a random shopping cart, far away from the game section, registers, or stock room doors and it had tomorrow's Amiibos in their shipping boxes with character names written out in Sharpie. I found that pretty amusing.

I'm suppose to be in New Britain tomorrow, depending on what time they want me over, I may have to go to the New Britain one, if I don't have to be there early I'll see you tomorrow!

I guess it might be one of those weird situation behind the store franchise or something like that. Is it possible that Suncoast bought all leftover supplies from Best Buy and sell them at their own store? or something like that?

I'm certain it is because you are familiar with both that they seem different but think of this: a parent is tasked, by their kid, to buy the Rosalina amiibo. The kid's description: She is blonde with a blue dress on. The parent won't know the difference anywho. I still shutter when my mom still doesn't know the difference between LEGO and MegaBlocks. Ugh.

Never underestimate the Frozen-obsessed mother crowd. They'll buy anything remotely Elsa related.
"Alright, just got that new Elza figure for my.....what the hell is this yellow thing next to her? I don't remember THAT from the movie!"

It clearly says "MEGA BLOKS" on the label and that's never stops millions of parents buying that instead of the clearly superior LEGO.
That or the parents are just cheap. LEGOs are expensive, though.
He looks awesome. I've had two black pugs and a fawn one at various points in my lifetime. Brachycephalic FTW.
