    All 5 of my amiibo have been unceremoniously shoved onto the middle shelf of my entertainment center next to the Wii U games. At least my yarn Yoshi is sitting on top of the external hard drive.

    They are here but I got them for 9ish so I would watch the price.

    E: One is smaller and slides under the bigger one so comes with 2

    "Guess how many amiibo are in the box!"

    None. Because they're impossible to find.

    Where do you think they all went?

    Anyone going to a midnight release to get the retro pack? A lot of gamestops are doing them for NBA tonight so you probably can get them tonight.

    I got my Retro pack tonight.

    There were a bunch of extras there too, so Im pretty sure it looks like there shouldnt be any major problems getting this pack.

    They were not open when I walked down and checked so I expect a line when I go grocery shopping in the morning

    Gotta go in after work to get the kid's copy of Happy Home Designer and (hopefully) some cards. If they still have the retro pack it's going to be tempting, I really just want Duck Hunt though.

  • BrainleechBrainleech 機知に富んだコメントはここにあります Registered User regular
    Well I am keeping Duck hunt maybe but I am not giving up R.O.B but I am looking to trade Game and Watch

    I wonder if the AC amiibo cards will sell out. I would want to buy a couple packs until I score an Isabella card or at most the whole set that can used for AC:amiibo festival.

    I walked into Best Buy at 8:55 this morning and found no cards on the shelf.

    Turns out they hadn't left the warehouse yet. I had to ask an associate to get the box out the back so I could buy a few packs.

    As far as I know, it hasn't yet been confirmed that the major npc cards will actually work with amiibo festival. (Though yes, it will be a huge dick move if they don't.)

    So I picked up my three pack and two card packs. No duplicates, so that was nice.

    I was surprised though that they seemed to use today to restock basically all wave five stuff. Dorf was gone, but they had ZZS and Olimar, plus Inkling boy and girl, and plenty of retro 3 packs. I think Nintendo has definitely worked out much of their supply issues. So yea, if you are missing any wave 5 stuff, check Gamestop.

    Oh, and if you are really desperate to get the AC cards, Target has them for 12.99 a pack lol.

    I bought Happy Home Designer and a pack of cards... then bought three more packs of cards later. I regret nothing.

    I got an extra Luna cards that I'm gong to try to trade. I got a lot of my favourite villagers already. I need Kiki, Bob, Shari, and Sable.

    I don't know about Target.com, I just work in one of the stores, but they fixed that in-store. They ring up for $5.99.

  • Brainiac 8Brainiac 8 Don't call me Shirley... Registered User regular
    I figured it was just a typo. Probably whoever wrote it up saw amiibo and threw 12.99 up there. :P

    I would assume Target will refund the difference if someone actually bought them at that.

    Huh, my local TRU has 2 captain falcons. Hadn't heard anyone saying he was getting restocks.

    I just traded my extra Luna for a Rasher card.

    I'm part of FOUR amiibo groups on Facebook: a Canadian amiibo group, a Canadian AC card group, a Newfoundland amiibo group, and a Newfoundland AC card group. The Canadian ones are great for news and the local ones are great for trades.

    Some places are just super shitty at getting product on the sales floor in any kind of timely manner.
