They stoppes discounts on Limited Edition and figures. So Best Buy is the only one left.
Will pick up MM and TP when I get off work.
If it's like Amazon Canada cancelling doesn't actually cancel your membership, it just cancels your auto-renew.

Sigh. My impulse and lack of knowledge made me buy this amiibo. Dag nabbit. There's too many Zelda amiibos already.
I guess I have given up on Best Buy, but I should actually go look.
You could sell it to a non-Prime gaffer. I'm sure they'd love to take it off your hands, haha.
edit: To all the people without Prime, Reddit had this to say about bypassing the "Prime" requirement:
"Just add it to your wishlist. From there, you should be able to add it to your cart and checkout."
Not sure if it works, but worth a shot if you don't have Prime.
My best buy didn't get any in. I wonder if it's YMMV. None of 20+ stores in my area got any in except for one.
Oh fuck right off, Amazon. This was the only Link out of the 3 I was really going for and they do this bullshit.
Tried it. Didn't work for me.
edit: Got someone to try and do it for me but unfortunately it seems to be gone now. Fuck meeeeeeeeeeeee!

There is one review on Gamestop's site for the TP amiibo.

Yep, I'm officially screwed on both MM and SS Link. Completely unacceptable from all parties involved.

It'll probably come back up, available for those who don't have Prime. The "we don't know if or when this item will be back in stock" is not on the page.
uh, if such a thing occurs, will the link exclude Prime members?
No luck going into the wild. Also, the selection in general where I am really sucks. Always see Daisy, Waluigi, the hippo chick from Animal Crossing, and Tom Nook. Maybe Mario; that's it. Been that way for months. And GameStop literally had one amiibo. It's just ridiculous out there now. ): Honestly I'm not going to bother trying physical retailers anymore. Strictly online for now on. I really wanted Majora's Mask, but at least I got Skyward Sword on Amazon earlier. (Sorry to those who didn't. I'd be in your boat if I didn't have the student trial of Prime.)

My Best Buys only got like 2 MM Links each so they were pretty much sold at as soon as the stores opened so hitting retail in my area is pretty pointless too.

Got SS Link earlier. Meanwhile there are no non-preordered TP Links within 100 miles. lol

Doubtful. They just offered to Prime-only first.
EDIT: Wow. Now the "don't know when or if" is up. If they only offered this to Prime members, Nintendo should be ashamed.

Agreed! picked up my preorder today from EB Games, these things are like gold! nothing to purchase for walk-ins just enough allocations for preorders.

Got Majora Link in the mail, Skyward Link ordered on Amazon, and Twilight Link missing because fuck Gamestop shipping prices and their very small pre-order allocation
Female Corrin's next month
Female Corrin's next month
It went up as a Prime-exclusive in the US. Scroll up to see when. Canadians got it as a preorder back in April. Corrin P2 will probably go up on release day in the US, July 21st.

Cool, thanks. He doesn't look quite as nice as TP Link which is odd since the more cartoony stuff usually translates better.
Ah cool.
Well at least I only have to pay scalpers for one Amiibo.
Haha also apparently I forgot Amazon De charged me for Twilight and Majora so now I have two of each. Shrug.

Grabbed the Skyward Sword amiibo. Didn't have luck with Majora's Mask or Twilight Princess but I am satisfied.

Well, I missed SS Link. Huge bummer, but I guess it was bound to happen. I've done really well with amiibo up to this point. Got my MM Link and it's wonderful. TP Link is apparently on its way...
What's this Discord server I've heard about? Any chance I could get in?

Right now I think Amazon has them beat for crappiness. I got one (SS) but it pisses me off it was Prime only.

Wtf when did ss link go up? Im a prime member and signed for tbe email notification. Nothing.
Was it sold out?
Was it sold out?
Email notifications aren't real-time so they're worthless.
Yeah it does. Which is why I had amiibo news twitter. Sending me notifications on my phone. Cannot rely on amazon for that. Got burnt on black Friday with their worthless notification system.

Now i have to be super lucky and find someone that would trade me. Coz there is no way im paying more than retail for it

Went to GS to grab my TP Link and they had some BotW restocked so I grabbed Zelda and Rider Link. Be in the look out if you need them

Picked my GameStop link and a guardian amiibo. They had all the botw releases at my gamestop
Lol I'm so annoyed at how lame my GameStop was. Literally just one amiibo in the whole damn store. Think it was Daisy.
There were two Rider Link's behind the counter but, since they were behind the counter and all, I figured they were pick-up's or something. And then there was nothing else alongside them. Such a joke. But, you know, there's plenty of DC and Marvel Funko Pops, cause that's what a video game store needs, is comic book merchandise.
I think the generic "nerd" section was bigger than the Nintendo section at the store.Same. I mean, I knew Best Buy and GameStop had exclusives, but Amazon with Skyward Sword? Nintendo doesn't mention that on their amiibo webpage, and usually they seem to indicate when stuff is exclusive in my experience.
I didn't realize they had these 3 all set as exclusives for today I thought it was just BB. Guess I'll wait for restocks this feels like the first few original releases NOA shorting demands as usual. Usually the import ones aren't to bad but pricing is still pretty high guess they got shorted all over?
True but seems like with this it wouldn't have helped.
The first few waves took about a year to get restocks. The BotW ones just got restocked that only took 3 months I'm not sure there is a easy answer. There have been a few that have never been restocked but most at least got it once.
I do read the OP, I just forgot Amazon even had exclusives so I thought Skyward wasn't an exclusive, especially when I didn't see it mentioned on Nintendo's site before. Sorry?
¯\_(ツ
_/¯FYI Wal-Mart has Champion amiibo preorders up right now. I really can't decide if I wanna buy them or not, especially with Mipha's...weird face, lol. I also just started playing Breath in the WIld a week ago, so that doesn't help.
