Glad you got one brother. Thanks for posting and thanks the apology to everyone earlier too. We all get frustrated. I got mine yesterday but I know a bunch of people missed out and hope people on here grab them.

Thanks for posting that UK had them listed again, was able to order Robin, Lucina, and PacMan so now I have all 6 preordered. Gonna cancel then if I can get US preorders.

Did smash wave 4 already go up for preorder on Amazon US?

Keep looking. Took me 4 different orders to get them all but if you keep checking back you'll nab one. I got really lucky this time.
I saw that and was ready to order it... then I realized that there is no need for me to buy it, I can just wait for the US version and order those just fine, no need to panic just yet.

Tempted to order from Amazon UK, but is there any difference in the figures at all? Specifically the writing on the bottom. I open all of my amiibos, but if there's something different written/stamped on the bottom, there would be inconsistencies in my collection and I wouldn't be able to live with myself.

Why can't I add the UK amiibos to cart? It keeps giving me an error even though I can click the button.

Sold out?

He's still up. If the pre-order link isn't appearing on the details page try going to the list of different sellers to get the Amazon listing.
EDIT: Oh, I guess they've sold faster than the website can handle removing the option to buy.

Same here. Even on the Amazon app. Fuuuuu
Edit. All 3 are no longer available. Jesus Fucking Christ.
I wouldn't assume you can just wait until a U.S. release and find it easily.

If you give me the word, I'll order you one next time it goes up since I was in the position to get one. Easy enough to cancel.

If you could do a Ness and Robin, that'd be cool.
Bonus if you could do a Ness, Robin, and Lucina just to save on shipping (I assume I could just give you my address and then Amazon could just ship directly), since I somehow managed to get a Lucina at least...

Has anyones Rosalina amiibo from amazon.ca shipped yet? Mines not shipped yet.
Does amazon actually fulfill their preorders if an order is made?

Asking again. Is there a way for me to go in and combine my orders on Amazon UK? I have all 6 preordered but across four different orders. Can I combine them so that they ship together and reduce the shipping costs?
I can guess what happened after talking to somebody that ordered 4 of each amiibo yesterday. Amazon retroactively changed his order to limit it to 2 per amiibo. He was pissed. I'm guessing they put his amiibos and those from others that did the same on the website just now.
Good job Amazon.

I hate how the scalpers are in this to get amiibos to sell.
They aren't genuine people who want to collect, instead unwanted competition, taking away happiness from those who want to actually enjoy amiibos for a quick buck by over pricing them.
Fuck scalpers.

I wonder if I should take a pic of my entire amiibo collection...then again it's poverty level and are just placed on top of a bookshelf.
Nice, must be cool to share a hobby with your kid

This is what they say about combined orders.
Makes it sound like it's automatic when they send them out but they say this may only happen if "The orders are being delivered to an EU address" so for the yanks importing you may be out of luck. Best contact them.

Fuck this shit. Every bastard day, at least 4 times each day I checked Amazon UK for those 3 and they go in minutes. Same thing happened on Game.
I was also too slow for the others so I just got Pacman and Wario.
Think I might just sell what I have, and get a ps4 instead.

I'm currently trying to get a hold of their support to see if that's possible cause I have Ness on an order by himself and would like it all consolidated too.
hey it's cool, i posted a pic of my collection and they are sitting on top of my subwoofer in my living room
I really want a Pit (as I've stated in this thread so many times
) but I refuse to pay any premium to the scalpers. I might have to though
