God fucking damnit, pre-orders out of nowhere and now they are sold out. Fuck this shit.
Called my local Smyth's in Derby and they have 0 stock.
Called Toys R Us in Derby and it's the same situation.

^ Meta Knight is in stock.
Don't get my hopes up like that.
I thought it was, it would normally say Out Of Stock with a grey button if it wasn't.
My apologies anyway.
Same.
If pre-ordering a product 2 months before the release date and searching stores one day before the street date and on the release date isn't enough to get these figurines, then I don't want to be part of it anymore.
Nintendo really needs to fix this because this is not good. I really want to get a full set but if this is how it goes, then fuck that shit.
It's really stupid to not have plenty of Shulk amiibos available. It's one of the few amiibos that actually has a purpose outside of Smash Bros.
He's a retailer exclusive in the US.
The Kirby game has functions for three amiibos, but only kirby is really available.
Guys
I've been fucked over by both my Amazon.it and GameStop.it (were I've paid 5 for each figure to preorder!)... Now I'm left without
Shulk
King Dedede
Meta Knight
I've got to trade
Wii Fit Trainer
Sonic
Capt. Falcon
Anybody willing to help? Any packaging will do, mine are EU. Please?
-_-
I'll stop collecting Amiibos altogether if I somehow won't get at least Meta Knight, so pissed
See my post above!
Thanks man!!!!
It really stings tho, Shulk went out of stock while paying so I've paid 56 for TWO AMIBOOS (28 shipping, fuckin' crazy).
Now I'm Shulk-less and I paid a crazy amount... I'm out after Ness
What city are you located in?So three other people came and got out of their car to stand by the entrance. Im freezing the entire time and decided to alternate between staying in my car and standing at the entrance. Eventually a Best Buy employee came to the rescue and took our names so we each get one. They only have four so that worked out! :O
Anyone who can help me for
Dedede
Meta Knight
Shulk
I will be grateful forever
I also got WFT and Capt.Falcon to trade if you want. You guys are my only hope at this point.
Mine are EU and I live in Italy but I'll accept whatever the packaging is, don't care about that
What city are you located in?
FNAC is a franch store I know very well (I've had the shop since 20 years) and... I stay away from them for anything limited each time I can.PSA - EU Gaffers:
Fnac.pt (Portugal) has a couple of rare ones in stock on-line, they ship to EU:

Don't trust their in-stock status. Simply, don't. I've had numerous orders of in stock products canceled, including Amiibos twice.
I asked people there why they were saying "in stock" for products that aren't (I can understand an error once, but when it's 80% of the time for rare products, that's not a mistake). They explained me that "in stock" is roughly "the product is available for immediate shipping in the maker catalog last time we checked".
Which, in the case of Amiibos, means simply nothing. When they order them to Nintendo, they see they're not available, and they cancel the order.
That's just a stupid way to handle this (they had a lot of troubles building an online store, and it's still mostly a messy thing).
What I mean is: feel free to try, but don't hope too much that the order will be fulfilled because it's "in stock". It's most probably NOT in stock.
Edit : sorry, I missed the cancelling notice, but again, I'm not surprised: typical FNAC behavior.
In Italy no store has those three unless you pre-ordered from gamestop. MediaWorld has plenty of megaman and sonic but no other three - I suppose they didn't distribute them either or some staff take for them to resell on ebay... as usual...
I hope you'll be right. I'd like to know how it'll turn around.I have it on good authority that Fnac Portugal received 200 of each, for this wave. I'll gladly go back on my opinion if my order gets cancelled but so far i've never had a single issue with their online store, and i've ordered quite a few items.

We'll see.
my finished amiibo display :

New display
if anyone wants to buy this display you can, here are the items (US buyer)
5 of the clear steps from amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006W8G85K/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Light display : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004DBU1O2/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Two white shelves : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0042U2UXO/?tag=neogaf0e-20

you'll also need some white duck tape to mask the cord of the light ( it is black)
All of this will cost you about - 160 bucks. I think it was well worth the money. I hope this post can help a fellow amiibro display their amiibo or maybe inspire them to be more creative with theirs. Cheers
I'm in Northern Ohio and it's -9 with a windchill of -30 at 7 AM. I can't imagine there's anyone outside of Best Buy right now, but hell, you never know.
Since they've canceled my order, did they already took the money when I ordered or only do when they ship an order?
ha
haha
hahaha
UK Amiibros, I'm done hunting for Shulk and Meta Knight for the day.
Argos: No stock
Toys R Us: No stock
GAME (x 2 stores): No stock
Tesco: No stock
Asda: No stock
Smyths: No stock; but they did have one of the best displays of Amiibo I've seen around here:
And it's not even that impressive. None of the new ones though. Most of the stores around here have one or two of Peach and Mario and that's it, so this is a pretty big deal.
On a slightly more positive note, somehow ShopTo must've gotten some DDD stock as they just charged me for and shipped my DDD today. So now I have a Japanese and a UK one.
Anyone get any luck with Shulk or Meta Knight today?
Clevelander here. I'm about to head to mine to see how many people are in lineI'm in Northern Ohio and it's -9 with a windchill of -30 at 7 AM. I can't imagine there's anyone outside of Best Buy right now, but hell, you never know.
Looks like they have an Ike. That is pretty cool
lolI just hope Nintendo realizes the potential insanity over Lucina and made her a common.
It doesn't seem that they ship outside of Germany? (or am I mistaken?)Ordered Shulk, Dedede and Meta-Knight for circa 22,- each. (Market Place amazon.de)
The price is OK.
Would it be too soon to consider any of the following rare?
Ike?
Sonic?
Dedede?
*hugs*Gasp didn't know you were back yet <3
