    I don't know why the fact Amazon treats the amiibo as different "colors" of each other delights me as much as it does

    "Hmm I would like an Amiibo, but which color is best. Maybe this nice fox-colored one."

    I do think it's a smart way to do it, keep them all together. Their color choice interface was already in place so just use that!

    Oooh, and thanks to Prime I get him on Sunday. Niiiiice.

    Edit: Well, the "estimated shipping" bits lied; my confirmation says he comes Wednesday.

    Oh well, at least I didn't have to sit through lines or anything.

    Man I am glad I only want two Amiibo (one's the Splatoon 3 pack) from Amazon today because I don't have Prime and I would need to pay shipping on each individual one the way Amazon's doling these out. I guess it'd be worth it to try to get customer service to combine the orders after all is said and done so the shipping goes free again even with just what I've ordered.

    Aha, interesting, Pac-Man has changed to "In stock but may require an extra 1-2 days to process."

    I wonder. If we assume that Amazon has similar ratios to brick and mortar stores, and most stores got like 12 Charizard and he sells out in 12 minutes, then can we assume that since stores got 4 Lucina she will sell out in 4 minutes? :P

    Can stuff get stolen out of your cart? Charizard is in my cart. I already have one but my friend might want one so I'm checking with him.

    Would be nice to calmly add each of these to your cart and then checkout with all at the end.

    EDIT: Yes, he was stolen.

    I had Charizard in my cart but I couldn't commit, bah. Someone on the Amiibo subreddit told me he's the rarer of the two between him and Wario, but I dunno if I 100% believe that.

    Doesn't matter now, since he's out of stock, so oh well either way.

    Yeah, Lucina and Robin would be the ones I'd be most worried about if I wanted to get them.

    He's back.

    You should probably commit, he is kinda medium-rare. Unlike the food he eats.

    A shame I can't add these all to one cart and get them shipped to me--I'd be more willing to buy 'em all in one fell swoop this way.

    As it is now if I have to get a dozen packages shipped to me and pay shipping on each one, I'm less likely to buy a bunch.

    I gotta say I really appreciate the way amazon did this

    even if I don't end up getting any, at least they tried to do something for the customers

    Granted I've been out of the loop for a few months but I feel like things are starting to get more organized, maybe?

    This is way better than preorders opening up at 2 AM my time randomly someday and they're all instantly gone.

    I do feel like I have an insignificant chance to get Lucina, instead of zero like it has always been for every amiibo. That's progress I suppose.

    And then they cancel those orders and turn around and sell it on eBay. I'm looking at you Toys R Us.

    Just picked up Wario and Charizard from Nebraska Furniture Mart (saw them up this morning, and coincidentally those two STILL hadn't shipped from walmart.com so I said fuck walmart and cancelled that order - though now it seems magically not cancelled. Oh well, if they come I can return them in-store at least). The detail on Wario is crazy. He looks really good. He *may* unseat Shulk as best looking amiibo (though probably not, Shulk is fantastic)

    Interestingly, I saw the guy bring a Lucina out to the car sitting next to me. Never saw her up, maybe it was later in the day? (I stopped checking after I got mine this morning).

    She is a time traveler - she probably traveled back to 2pm PT and now you missed her :P

    Are you me?

    Although I'm doing it in case it starts loading on one window, and not the other.

    I don't really want Lucina, I just want to be able to trade her for Lucas or Palutena if they end up being totally rare.

    Which they will be.

    Even more so if they are store exclusives.
