I decided against going out for Rosalina. I have a lot farther to drive than any scalper and the difference in gas could be used to buy an imported one.

I tried to go out but there was too much snow - car got stuck in the driveway. Figured it wasn't worth risking the actual roads. I guess I'll have to rely on my Amazon pre-order actually being fulfilled.
I don't think I saw any scalpers, people were only getting one of each so that's cool
There was this one jerk getting all uppity about some kids running to the electronics section to get theirs first even though he was still getting one anyways, and it's like dude...these things are cool but let these kids get their toys, goddamn
Don't like the current pose, but daughter likes "the dinosaur" in MK8 so want to get one.
Yoshi is an abomination.
I'm currently testing Wolly World and can 100% guarantee that statement is false. Or at the very least, he's an adorable abomination.
!!!!!!
Can you talk about it? Is it AWESOME? This is my second-most-anticipated game this year (after Fire Emblem) and is a huge part of the reason I got a Wii U.
A target employee on reddit (who may also post here) was talking about scalpers probably getting all the rosalinas, so he hid some for him and his friend.
I took that as a sign that it probably wasn't worth the effort. I did manage to pre-order most of the ones I wanted, so hopefully those pull through. Little nervous though since they've all been delayed at least once.
My job puts me in the backroom of target, so I am friends with the receiver. I had him hold one for me since target decided to allocate their store shipment to their online preorders.
I'm not really up on this amiibo thing, is there a pacman one coming? Am I likely to be able to get it?
Yes, Pacman is in wave 4, which is slated for sometime this spring.
We don't know how common he'll be, we can't even pre-order Wave 4 yet, but so far the basic rule has been pre-order any amiibos you really want. Gamestop has actually been one of the better places to pre-order. Target, Walmart, and Toysrus have all had "oops, cancelled your order" issues.
If not, pay double for a Japanese import (which is identical except for the box.)
Oh my God. Mario Kart 8 is like catnip for my niece and nephews! This is awesome! 3 player multiplayer is the best thing.
I need more kid friendly games. And another e job to afford them.
You should try Rayman Legends. There's a football/soccer mini-game that is TONS of fun in short play sessions with friends. The main game is also excellent.

Man, fuck that guy. I work at Target, and I locked the new figures down and limited quantities. Did I get a scalper who brought her family to get around the per person limit? Of course. But she didn't get all of them (not even 1/2), and so I had quite a few happy gamers leave my store.
@PacMan1979 and I partnered up in a hunt. We got one Rosalina which he got because my dad was able to snag a Rosalina for me. Operation Fuck Scalpers was a success.
Also, I didn't go out to Target to get Sheik, etc. but I saw they are listing as in-stock on Nebraska Furniture Mart's website. Ordered all three for in-store pickup tomorrow
I got sheik and ike the same day suckers!
I only passed on Toon Link in favor of Ike because the woman at the counter in ToysR said I could only take one of them.

I wasn't originally intending on getting one, but what the hell, why not.

One question how does Wooly Yoshi deal with the wet yarn feeling on his teeth and mouth.

I'm mildly secure in my preorder of Sheik, but will pick one up if I can find one
So I just gotta find Dedede and Ike tomorrow
You forget that a true scalper has no soul.

I have never, ever seen one in any store or online since that day and Little Mac is my favorite character
Yeah, but scalpers down here are a superstitious lot. They go to Church every Sunday to atone for being scum.
Like Jesus would forgive such filth.

I was 15th in line and they only got 12
Along with 8 Bowsers, 4 Toon Links and 2 Sheiks
They were sold out within three minutes
A friend I have in Boston was able to snag a Rosalina for me at least so that's awesome

@Mr_Grinch Set a bookmark on your desktop and phone for amiiboinquirer.com, they'll update when a store has stuff open for pre-order
Then pre-order and pray
I'll definitely be pre-ordering Pac-Man, Robin, Lucina and Ness
You shouldn't have any trouble getting them in Europe. Pac-Man will be released on April 24th.

Oh yeah, if you're in Europe you can burn rare amiibos to heat your house.

They had about 20 of them and I was #8 in line. A lot of people were there hoping to get Toon Link too but they only had 2.
Also snagged a Luigi. It was a good morning.
When I walked in I did not expect to want one
But they looked way cooler in person than the pictures
So now I have a Rosalina

He's not, Sheik is
I just left a store that had a pile of Rosalinas, Bowsers, and Toon Links behind the counter
No Sheiks
I only passed on Toon Link in favor of Ike because the woman at the counter in ToysR said I could only take one of them.
I hope it ends up rare because I want to leverage it against a Shulk
Sheik and Toon Link might as well have never existed here. Those were the only two I cared about.
