Give me a few minutes


If you guys want me to check I need specific cities or towns

If you could can you also check Knoxville, TN? Thanks amiibro! I'm hoping getting to one of our local Targets at 6am (they open at 7am) will be enough time to get Rosalina.

Tough game when one of your favorites is a store exclusive haha.

If you could check the Cleveland, OH area that'd be amazing. Zip code around here is 44131.
There's a specific store, Steelyard Commons, 3535 Steelyard Drive, Cleveland, OH 44109 that wouldn't tell me how many they had.

I got mine and a friend's Rosalina in today. She's beautiful!
But still not Daisy :'(
They came in perfectly. I'm debating if I want to get another one tomorrow morning for a trade later down in the year.

I really miss Suncoast. Back when Sailor Moon first became popular in the 90s, that was the place to go to get the VHS tapes and merchandise. I was so happy when my father took me to the mall to get a new Sailor Venus item.
 
My package arrived finally!

And No, only 1 of these Rosalinas are mine, the other two are for two of my other friends.

To hell with Toys R Us (And Target if it ends up being a bust)

Hey guys do you know where the cheapest possible place I can get the holy trinity from? I've been successful at getting every amiibo except those three locally. Any help is appreciated.

Suncoast is pretty amazing stores for getting some of obscure things before they become more popular here.

Just got my Rosalina, Lucario, and Meta Knight amiibo!!

Rosalina and Lucario look perfect, but Meta Knight's mask has black marks on it. Guess I'll try to get a MK locally whenever Best Buy releaaes him. Will upload pics soon.

Gives all the fucks
Hey, would anyone be so kind as to be a "back-up" for me in the chance I can't get Rosalina this week? I might just get one for now (maybe I'll get lucky & they'll still have some later this week when I get more funds), but it'll be for the giveaway I wanna do tomorrow & I really do wanna show my appreciation to the community by being able to make someone happy with a rare or uncommon amiibo.

I'll gladly pay retail + shipping, then once it arrives, I can do the Modbot giveaway.

Hey there fellow Tennessean! I don't know anyone in Memphis but contemplated driving there for a CHVRCHES concert once haha.

Now all we need is someone from Nashville and we'll have TNGaf covered in this thread.

Haha, gonna need a slow down, with work and guests and building bikes this is gonna take me a bit but I will get to as many as possible

I really appreciate your offer to help. Thank you. If you can't get to them, no worries. I'll be at Target either way ready to bust some knee caps if a scalper gets in my way. lol

I wonder since it's superbowl sunday if this will even be on people's radars

It might be worse because it's superbowl sunday. That means people will be out doing last minute shopping for any party that they may have later in the afternoon.

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.

Or, you know, you could just get Rosalina first.

Grabbed Bowser from GS while out today, canceled the Amazon order that still showed March 2nd for delivery.

Still waiting on a date for our Amazon Mega Man preorder, here's hoping it pans out.
