That Mega Man is amazing. I have two pre-ordered -- I put one in at Amazon first, and then panicked when the Amazon pre-order horror stories started and then ordered one at Gamestop, too. Between the two of them I am pretty confident I will get him, and then the only Smash ones I can't live without are Ness, Pac Man and (hopefully) Olimar.

Looks awesome! Except... is the smash logo coming apart from the rest of the amiibo stand? Or do they all look like that? I guess I've never looked at that part closely.

Not all Canadians wanted that thread and I hope this attitude doesn't make those who want to stay in this thread feel uncomfortable.

I'm sure it was tounge-in-cheek patriotism and had nothing to do with the thread.

Ya'll need to just relax and let that go.

Did I miss what happened? I was just making a general joke about my country being better than another... ._.

lol It's not coming apart, the lighting in my room is a bit weird so it is just reflecting on that smash logo edge a bit funny. Also because I photographed him in an all black enclosure which is the same colour as the base.

Whoa, sweet. Out of nowhere, Amazon US changed my Toon Link arrival date from March 2nd to tomorrow by 8pm. I guess they got enough complaints about wave 2 and 3 amiibo pre-order delays/unavailability?

My god, he looks glorious and badass. One of the best-quality amiibo designs for sure. I've got him pre-ordered at Amazon; I hope I get a ship date for him soon. My Sonic amiibo is currently listed as shipping on March 2nd.

Boy, I don't get the Amazon release order at all. I ordered Sheik back in December and still have no estimated date, while I ordered Sonic on 1/23 and he's prepping for shipment now. Clearly Sheik will be much rarer, but still.

I ordered all of them back in November. Still have a March 2nd date for Sheik and Sonic, cancelled Bowser and Toon Link after getting them at Target but they were also March 2nd, and no date for the others.

So based on what some Toys R Us workers are saying, Mega Man and Sonic will be the most common out of the next wave, maybe?

I wonder if I should cancel one of my two Sonic/Mega Man preorders.

Take everything said by a store clerk with a grain of salt. I would keep your preorders.

From my experience in Aus they were definitely more common than most of the wave, except for Bowser.

This actually really surprises me. I thought Mega Man would be god tier rarity. Ya know because of how much Capcom hates the Blue Bomber.

Toad has the lightest stock... lmao why. He is going to be the most demanded character among collectors and anyone who owns the Smash versions of the others.

So is there anything significant about February 6th as far as amiibo releases go?

I've been trying to find that list someone compiled of dates and which retailers are getting which, but it got lost in the shuffle. :(

CANADIAN AMIIBO UPDATE

Places to check today!

Toys R Us
They received all of Wave 3 yesterday in my town, including Rosalina. They are the first retailer to carry her in store. Lucario also arrived but won't be sold until Friday February 6th, they open at 9am on Fridays (at least my location does). Call in advance and make sure they are implementing a 1 per customer rule. They are at my store. If your store didn't get Wave 3 yesterday it may show up anytime today or this week. Keep checking!

Future Shop
Their Wave 3 shipment was a dud. Their expected release date is February 28th. I am not sure if all Future Shop stores did preorders. It does seem like there is confusion as to when they can sell Wave 3. So don't be surprised if they won't sell them yet.

EB Games
Rosalina is in their shipping log for today. Will arrive and be sold whenever their delivery arrives. No Mega Man or Sonic yet. Every other Wave 3 is pretty much preorder only with them.

Good luck everyone!

Walmart in the US is supposed to be getting Bowser, Sheik, and Toon Link. I think that's it.
