I never paid more than retail for any amiibo. And i have them all. The only one i missed is the skyword sword one. Im hoping to find someone willing to trade for it.

I've been randomly checking Gamestop's site for the TP Link amiibo and noticed that it now says that a few stores near me have them in stock. This wasn't the case all day yesterday and earlier today. I called all three in my town that it listed. One store never answered. The other two had them, but they were still for pre-orders. I'm assuming that's the case for pretty much every store that has them right now, but it's worth keeping an eye on for the next day or so because I think pre-order customers have 48 hours to pick something up.

Amy place left to preorder Mipha in the US?
I think the Shovel Knight one was usable like that.
Amazon hasn't opened preorders for any of the new amiibos yet.

That's a 3rd party figure though.
Called all the stores that had new ones listed. They all said pre orders were picked up except the one store. They had 2 but the woman said the customer called today and said they'll be in tomorrow 🤔🤔🤔 I don't know if that's allowed
Huh. When I check the stores near me, it literally shows every GameStop shop near my zip code and doesn't have any details like "only a few left, hurry in soon!" I kinda think it's just glitching? YMMV. (I live around Everett, WA. I highly doubt all these stores have stock all of a sudden.)

Check the app if you can. That seems to be better. It lists all of the stores in the area, but actually has a green checkmark if a store (supposedly) has one.
Okay, in doing so the App seems supposedly more accurate. It's super dumb I have to use an app though, damn it GameStop. ): But thanks for informing me / the thread!
It says my local store has some, so now I gotta debate if I wanna trust it or not, haha. Considering how pathetic my local GameStop is in particular, anyway.
I did my Metroid 2-Pack at Gamestop, along with the game. Friend of mine who works at the one I go to said they still have plenty.

The whole GameStop TP situation seems a little strange. Usually on release day, stores have a few extra and people line up for them. Which is what I did at Best Buy for MM. It's crazy how every GameStop around me only had the amount for pre-orders. Not a single extra.
Is she so popular because of some weird fish waifu thing 🙆🏻*♂️🤔🤔

Anything that can basically be made into a waifu is gonna sell out faster than the others when it comes to amiibo.
Well, looks like MM Link is going for around $30-40 in eBay atm. Prices are staying fairly low from the huge amount of scalpers posting them. I dunno how some sellers have sold like 18 of them. How is that possible with an exclusive? It's a US seller too.
She became waifu from the trailer alone. People made fan art the day she was revealed.

I should get my SS Link in the mail today. Checking the Gamestop site and app this morning and none of the stores show as having any TP amiibo available. I wonder if it will ever go up on their site or get restocked. I wonder if any of these will ever get a restock of any kind.

At least the TP ones are basically the same as smash unlock wise
That's the only part that makes me "ok" with not having TP link and the wind waker 2 pack. I at least have the smash links so I have all the unlocks.

This makes me scared to get mine, given my past experiences with Amazon packaging.
I don't even think I have any recourse. They're sold out, so I can't get a replacement.

Maybe you can get a credit to your account or something?
There was a tip somewhere in this thread (?) about using hot water (?) to soften up bent bits so you could straighten them and they'd re-set as they cooled.
I think.
Don't rely on my memory.

Still no luck on Gamestop's TP Link. I do have an extra BB Majora's Mask if anyone wants to trade. I'll probably try to get a post on our BST thread in a while.
Amazon's SS Link came today...in a bubble mailer. I guess its a good thing I open them because...that's unacceptable. Amazon shouldn't be allowed to have amiibo any more. No preorders, prime exclusive, shitty shipping? No thanks.
It wont even let me leave packaging feedback on it ironically too.

You gonna contact Amazon? Doubt they have a replacement, but will probably give you a credit.

How would I contact them and get credit and/or a replacement for it?

Call them or use chat.
Just complain that the item has been damaged due to poor shipping. Because they can't replace it they'll offer you up something.
I wish using the CEO email would actually help do something (I did it with a different order issue I had), but no. I just got a "sorry" reply (they even tried to call me) but all I really wanted was something to change. They didn't even offer compensation -_-

Amazon's customer service has been really shitty lately (based on others' experiences). It's actually never been that good to me.

It the past it has been good to me. But yeah lately the CS has been pretty bad. I think they either changed companies or made new rules. I have pulled teeth with them the last few times with nothing to show for it.
Allow me to echo how terrible Amazon's shipping has been for a while now. The last 3 limited/collector's editions of games I got from Amazon were sent in bubble mailers and were smushed horribly. If you're a perfectionist about quality, pay the premium and order from GameStop (as bad at that seems to many). It'll cost maybe $10 more, but they've always sent me everything in a box with air pillows or something else to keep the item stable. I would say go for Best Buy instead of Amazon, but Best Buy has sent the last 2 LE/CEs I ordered in bubble mailers, so they're slipping too.
I open my amiibos, so I'm glad I don't have to worry about the packaging being in great shape, but I seem to have gotten unlucky anyway. My MM Link came with a scratch/indentation on the front of his tunic and 2 discolored, silverish lines on his boot. Not like I can exchange it either. Feels bad.

People have complained to Amazon about amiibo packaging before, but I think they just don't care. ):
My box got kinda dented, but I don't keep mine in their packaging, and the amiibo itself looks fine. My first amiibo with a sword, and it's not bent, yay! It just, like, slightly droops down at the tip if you're being super nitpicky. But it's also like 90°F outside so I lucked out there.

Jealous as fuck.
I'd rather have amiibo in damaged boxes than no amiibo.
Thanks a lot Nintendo.
