I've always wondered how hard it'd be to get an Amiboo around here, so I guess I'll find out when this come out. I feel like I'm the only one in this town that has a Wii U.

 

[kaskade]

Kind of nice since Walmart and gamestop are the only places around to get amiibos for me.

 

[ekim]

So that's basically the defective wrongly colored Mario Amibos recycled, huh? /jk

I wish Nintendo would stop with these retailer exclusives. Blood will be spilled for this.

 

[dmr87]

The riots are going to be entertaining.

 

[Sulik2]

I might buy a couple of these and sit on them. Gold Mario seems like a great way to sell out Of an amiibo.

 

[SuperCambot]

Oh yes, thank god this will fulfill the needs of all those Wal-mart customers who were just dying to get their hands on an exclusive amiibo. The discrimination is finally over.

customers employees just dying to get their hands on an exclusive amiibo.

 

[CryptiK]

I have every Amiibo. Since I live in Australia it looks like I wont be able to have every Amiibo :/

Just please don't snatch up every single amiibo like some people do in my city

Thanks, I bought 2. I like how it said "Free Shipping to Store" I put my address and it refused to let me pick it up at store. FM State.

 

[hoserx]

Just bought one! My first Amiibo.

 

[BatDan]

Pre-ordered it.
Hopefully convention season will allow me to fill the holes in my Amiibo collection.

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mario has always been golden in the minds of his fans. On March 20, Nintendo will launch the Super Mario amiibo—Gold Edition, a shiny gold-colored Mario figure that arrives on the same day as the Mario Party 10 game for the Wii U console. The Super Mario amiibo—Gold Edition will be sold exclusively at 3,000 Walmart stores in the U.S. at launch at a retail price of $12.96.

Note: There are 4,524 potential Walmart stores in the USA (3,877 excluding Sam's Club) where Nintendo could have carried these amiibo figures.


So not only is it Walmart exclusive, but it's not even featured in all of the Walmart stores.

 

[pete_clarf]

Cool, thanks for the link!

This might be the only one that I leave sealed... assuming it has the same in-game functionality as the regular Mario.

Does that # include grocery stores though? My initial thought was it's not all Wally World stores cause some are just grocery stores.

 

[DarkLegion]

Aww man. This is gonna be a nightmare for those who won't preorder.

I figured since I put my address in the "Free Pick-up" and it defaulted to shipping at home.
Thought it was pretty funny. At least it seems the warehouse amount is decent since it isn't sold out yet.

 

[spindashing]

Ehhhh, not gonna do it.

Still waiting on Ness.

 

[pete_clarf]

Awesome. I got lucky for once

So does Wal-Mart put a hold on your account or do they just outright debit the account?

Good question. I used Paypal and the money is already gone. I think that's just how Paypal works, though.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Ah what the hell. Went ahead and pre-ordered one.

 

[RedNumberFive]

Ah what the hell. Went ahead and pre-ordered one.

Same here. Hopefully I can trade it for Duck Hunt or Rob somewhere down the line.

 

[CronoShot]

Preordered.

I'm such a sucker.

Edit: Damn, already out of stock?

Rated M for MARIO.

Seriously, 17 for a Mario toy? Oh my.

WOW that sold out quickly.

 

[marrec]

I was super close, like [ ] that close to pre-ordering one.

And then I said "WTF am I doing I make plenty of money doing my proper job I don't need to make 50 bucks off selling a repaint mario POS".

I'll buy a 50 dollar bottle of vodka instead thanks Walmart.

 

[DooD1234]

And it gone, just when I was checking out too.

Oh well, not dying for this guy.

 

[bms2993]

Dammit sold out.

 

[entremet]

Scalpers putting in that work.

 

[Eyeshield1625]

Out of stock :-/

 

[Snkfanatic]

Damn lol I was in the middle of checking out and it went OOS.

 

[Aquamarine]

Does that # include grocery stores though? My initial thought was it's not all Wally World stores cause some are just grocery stores.

I'm excluding the grocery stores in that figure.

 

[EvilMario]

No word on Canada, but thankfully I'm not someone who needs to own every Amiibo. Especially one as ugly as this.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

And it gone, just when I was checking out too.

Oh well, not dying for this guy.

Dammit sold out.

Out of stock :-/

I was able to pre-order one. Not planning on keeping it/planning on trading in the B/S/T thread (for EQUAL value...not looking to profit/scam people).

Keep your eyes open.

 

[Megatron]

Yep, just missed it. Oh well.

 

[JMDSO]

Why these companies don't limit the number that can be purchased is beyond me.

 

[pete_clarf]

Whoa. Gone already. Seriously, thank you for posting this thread! I would not have gotten one otherwise!

 

[Ramon3MR]

Pre-orders sold out...d'oh!

 

[TheSlySoul]

Why these companies don't limit the number that can be purchased is beyond me.

They limited it to 2 per order at least.
Shame they did not limit it to 2 per account, but it is a stepping stone.

I was literally asleep so you must mean that in a literal sense.

 

[Deleted member 102362]

It was limited to two on walmart.com. Or did you mean in-store?

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Your best bet is to stay awake until I post in the B/S/T thread.

 

[lightning2k3]

Sold out already. Ugh.

 

[Dominator]

I woke up 10 minutes ago and missed the pre-orders. I hate life sometimes lol

 

[friskykillface]

Fucking didn't work on my phone , I'm pissed :/

Everyone buying 2 lol, you guys are scalpers x resellers now

I'm salty and jelly

 

[JMDSO]

2 per order. Not hard to place multiple orders though.

 

[aspiegamer]

Dear NOA,
You have apparently learned absolutely nothing. Why do you still not want our money? Please die in a fire.

Signed,
Everyone

 

[MilesWebber]

Last time I was at Walmart they had 3 Amiibos. 2 Marios and a Zelda.

...I really doubt Walmart's ability to keep this in stock, ever.

A lot of the Amiibo shortages had to do with the shipping and dock strikes happening right now on the west coast so it's not really the retailer's fault.

 

[howdyjacker]

Mass hysteria incoming.
