Hahahah on my phone
sometimes I have 20 threads open at onceI was able to acquire another extra Sheik today that I am looking to trade if anyone is interested. I also still have an extra Toon Link, though it seems he's not too hard to find. Waiting on a response from another gaffer that I will be trading Sheik for Pit but I'm still looking for Rosalina, Little Mac, DDD, Marth, Ike, Mega Man or Meta Knight. PM if you want to do a trade, preferably in the US.
ForteanMan, has money left your account yet? I ordered a Toon Link and Sheik, and they've only taken money for the price of one. Both were on their site up for preorders up until today, their release day. Now they are both removed entirely. I've had no emails of any status.
Tempted to buy an amiibo from a scalper on eBay and then dispute w/ Paypal.
Two wrongs don't make a right.
Who's your favorite Nintendo character?
Kumatora
Why?
Because she's the best character in Mother 3.
What do you do after a Nintendo game victory?
Lement the fact that NoA still has yet to localize Mother 3 in any form 9 years later.
Apologies if anyone hates Infinity but just want to show you my set. Love these figures and I think they are worth collecting. Skylanders isn't my thing but I know all of these characters (like Amiibo) so they mean more than just having a figure of a created dude like from Skylanders.

No, the first line in that post was a joke and got you rattled. Everything is fine and this is just what commonly happens when you order "ship to store" at Gamestop. When the item is preparing to go to the store, the online order closes and transfers to the store itself. If you go into the store, they'll be able to find your order open and ready to go.
The confusion comes from the fact that if you order two items in one order, it will switch to close as soon as just one of them is ready to ship, even when the other one isn't ready yet. Still, those preorders will still be set in your store of choice, so you shouldn't be too concerned.
Still, everyone keeps suggesting that you should go into your store and pay off the pre-orders so they have no excuses when your item comes in

Just went to Gamestop to pay off my "Closed" site to store order for two King Dededes. Guy working said I was a "smart man" for paying it off. Wonder if they would have sold them to someone else. I asked when they would be available, and he said he thinks they were pushed to March but has no clue when the release date is. The guy I spoke to yesterday said they were in transit.
I have a feeling I won't be getting these Amiibo.

Scalpers suck, but that would be committing fraud, aka a legal offense. Not a good idea.
LUCARIO SHIPPED FINALLLLLLLYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
Got survey to work too. I complained about the Hyrule Warriors LE, how much I paid for it, with a "thanks Nintendo. Wish i could've preordered it like the rest of the world. Not all of us live in NYC".
Here's my Miibo write up:
"Where to begin. Scalpers are picking everything up due to low stocks and jacking prices up on ebay, retailers only now starting to limit purchases. Im very disappointed in the distribution and making collecting them a chore and not fun. No strict release dates, no one knows when they come in. Add to the fact that Nintendo of America has been the WORST globally allowing for these exclusive disasters, when Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan get their atocks just fine, not having issues this bad. It's been a terrible mess and the low stock is making people anxious and scalpers buy them all up, leaving us fans with slim pickings... I love the figures but PLEASE fix this mess. We've been waiting to preorder Wave 4 for almost a month now."

Oh, ok, phew. I just got scared. I just paid them all off last weekend, so was worried when they showed up as closed today. Hopefully that means they'll be here soon!

Fighting something that is frowned upon yet perfectly legal by doing something that is 100% Illegal? Not the greatest idea.
Great to hear you're doing fine & the fact you're being more active here.Esmith I got the perfect Toon Link avatar im making for you.
How is everyone doing today? I myself am kind of having one of my lows. Just the whole PTSD stuff im dealing with from my Cancer. Tough stuff. But I'm still doing fine.
As for me, tiring long day at college (10 to Noon done, then 4 to 5 in less than an hour, then 6:30 to 8:30ish), but day was made awesome by the fact when I got home, I found out I won a Sega controller hoodie from a contest!
Also about to head into town to quick check Meijer again despite being there yesterday afternoon (only 1 Bowser & Toon Link) because I heard they might have gotten more. Shame that Target & to some extent GameStop are the only two which I can check online for a store's inventory.

Well I hope I did good. Saw a pair of Rosalinas being *sold for $60 and bought it. Looking at it for $30 per is a lot easier to swallow than the $50 for a single.
*I should say from ebay.

I'm doing well, just waiting to reserve wave 4 and MP amiibos at gamestop. Wish I could find some crispy M&Ms but these scalpers are pretty much buying everything now.

Toon Link unlocks everything Link does, right? I think I'm gonna get him as my first amiibo.

Pre-ordered the Mario Party ones and wave 5? (Europe). Just to be sure.
Are they the same packaging as NA? I'm willing to trade *ANY* club nintendo game for lucario. Or just pay the cost + shipping.

I like 'em. They're great figures. Honestly I wished my family (read: kids) skipped the first two skylanders. By the time DI came around I was already burnt out from the hunt and the cost. And now...amiibo.

The DI figures looks great and I know some of the characters that I like too but for some reason I'm just not tempted to grab any of them. I see Ralph and Vanellope on shelves and I kind of want them but never bit the bullet.
Oh I'm with you. I have every current Infinity figure. They're cool to look at even without the games. I just wish they had put out more Disney Originals this year...
Are you telling me you don't use all of the social media stuff including but not limited to Twitter/Facebook/Instagram/Tumblr/Pinterest/Vine/Google+/YouTube?

Even though I said early on that I don't use half of those, it still asked me multiple questions about each one, so those parts were a real waste of time.
By wave 4 do you mean the Mario Party Wave or the Lucina/Robin/Charizard wave?

Sorry to hear that. Currently at work, done in a few hours. Forgot my freakin' cross-eyed Bowser amiibo at home for the exchange I was gonna get done at some point today, but part of me kinda wants to keep it, the more people I show it to that find it funny.Esmith I got the perfect Toon Link avatar im making for you.

Consider me a bit torn.
Also heavily anticipating my 2 shipments of the 7 Mega Mans! I want 'em now, dammit!
