There were around 50 people waiting outside my nearest Toys R Us the first day Greninja came out, and everyone got one
Because of work I couldn't drive down to Toys r Us when Greninja came out, so I went down during lunch and they were all gone. He is one I really want and I'm sure at some point I'll get him but he's like most rares in my area, they disappear on launch day and never return. I just live in an extremely high scalper area. Any time a new one shows up or they get a restock, all my stores get ransacked.
I may have to check TRU at lunch then. I think Greninja would be a fun one to have. Unfortunately my coworker just left because her dog got in a fight at doggie daycare and I'm not entirely sure when/if she'll return so I'm actually not sure if I'll get a lunch today.
So I wonder how many people will be lined up outside my local best buy tomorrow morning. I plan to go early (like 5AM). It's supposed to rain so I'm hoping it will drive some of the scalpers away.
You are all crazy for going that early (5am?!). I am going to just hit up Best Buy at open and hope for the best. If anything, maybe I will bring an extra Amiibo to trade away.
If I fail to grab a Pitoo tomorrow, I am more than willing to trade with anyone on here.
This week I've been able to be slightly more active in Amiibo hunting since my wife was out of town so I had the car every day. Other than the occasional Pac Man or Sonic I haven't seen anything outside of Mario/Peach/Bowser/Luigi/Zelda/Pika. I really do try to be understanding, but when I hit multiple stores over multiple weeks and the wife hits the Nintendo store in NYC and we still can't find those few characters we'd actually like to own, it's sort of frustrating.
I'm in absolutely no rush to have the few that we want, but it does feel like by now they should have been able to do something about the situation or I should have at least found 1 of them we want. I also get the impression the few restocks that Gamestop has been getting have been getting put aside for people and not actually hitting the shelves.

Nope, I got my Dedede from Gamestop's shelves.
Oh, reports are that Best Buys are getting 40-50 Dark Pits apiece, so there should be enough to go around.
Thinking about sending the wife to Best Buy while I'm at work. I swore I wouldn't dive into Amiibos too much, but now I'm tempted to get out of Infinity and go all Nintendo. It's going to depend entirely on the framerate of Infinity 3.0 on the Wii U.

The arrangement of the mushrooms bugs me.

Well, of course you didn't see them.

And just when I paid five bucks above retail to get a Japanese one. Ah well.
But then how many ended up in the hands of people that would use them

I'd say it did -- she was up for 30 minutes, rather than 30 seconds.

Yeah, you're the first claimer. Just thought I'd offer up the second one before it goes up on eBay or /r/amiiboswap.

Really? It showed as sold out to me in less than 10, or I'd have hit buy

This store had about 50 and they had you line up to get one. After finishing the line there were 10 left.
Good luck today everyone!
Snagged a Dark Pit and got outta there. It's ridiculous the 1st and 2nd guys were holding up the register because they wanted a perfect Dark Pit.
