Wasn't home when UPS tried to deliver Palutena Now I have to wait until Tuesday (Monday is a holiday here). Dark Pit should also be arriving Tuesday, so it'll be like Christmas in August around here.
I asked in the previous thread before it got locked, but does anyone know if the Mario Maker or Yarn Yoshi amiibos have gone up for preorder in the States yet?

1. the new one doesn't actually have bigger breasts, that was just people being dumb. the only difference on the figure is that the paint job is much more likely to be clean, especially on the blue waistband
2. second printing amiibos have a new 3ds on the back of the package. thus far, first printings have only had the gamepad on there. (for NA packaging anyway, idk about imports)

All 2nd wave amiibo should have larger breasts. All of them.
The Nintendo CSR Report 2015 was recently published. In the digest version, there’s a big focus on amiibo, including a few interviews.
One portion of the report features an interview with Nintendo’s Masaki Amano. He spoke about the challenges faced in developing amiibo at one point, noting:
Nintendo has developed a variety of game systems such as Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. However, amiibo development was extremely challenging because we couldn’t use our existing knowledge at all and had to proceed through everything by trial and error.
For example, when we make a game system we usually make a mold of each part by cutting the metal directly from 3D data using a drill or some other tool. For a figure, however, you use almost no machinery at all to make the mold, and do everything by hand instead. For amiibo, we started by creating a master. We then took this master apart to consider how to easily coat colors or create each mold. Link, for example, has 24 separate pieces.
We took a cast of the first mold by pressing clay into each part of the master and then coating it with silicon. Finally, after repeatedly duplicating the mold with harder substances, we used iron to create a metal mold. Although we could not apply our existing knowledge or experiences, we learned along the way as we pursued absolute quality.
That wasn’t the only notable element from the Nintendo CSR Report 2015. We also get a look at how Nintendo tests amiibo for safety and reliability. See the image below.

Pre-Order? Not an actual sale? That seems like a poor choice considering you can "win" the Pre-Order event then then lose because whoops not enough stock was shipped because no one knows how much stores will get!

Huh? Preorder is a preorder. They know how many they are getting. You won't get a preorder at all if they run out.

Damn, that happened? This Canadian must've been lucky then.
I think they've wised up and are limiting pre-orders to the amount of actual stock on hand. But who the hell knows. The one thing I do know is that I'll be out of town that day and I'll need to call in a favor to a friend.

Uh... no? Sorry, not what I meant.
Ness (and well all of wave 4 really) went up for preorder, and all stores took them, with no regard to actual stock (which they didn't know) or cutoff point. Then stores find out they're only getting something like ~4 Ness per store. So cue the calls to people telling them their preorder has been canceled.
Same thing happened with Robin and Lucina, of which stores got even less of.
There's rumors they've absolutely stopped doing preorders period for amiibos, to avoid this clusterfuck in the future.
edit: I'm a boob, I read that as "The Canadians must've been lucky", not 'This" Canadian...". :P
Either way, that's what happened. Was real shitty.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I managed to push through after about 5-10 minutes of attempts on EBGames' site and got a preorder in. Despite the website not recognizing my order number I still got confirmation e-mails, and Ness arrived safely. I don't remember hearing about Ness preorders getting cancelled, but I might have just forgotten.

Whatever the case, I wouldn't worry about it. They obviously know their stock numbers here. They aren't going to oversell.
Only time there are actually problems are when they don't know stock ahead of time, which I think is why most places have been waiting quite awhile to open amiibo preorders ever since post-wave 3.
Just the three pack is exclusive. According to the leak about this, they are not exclusive as individual figures.
Also, this stinks, I am in a school all Saturday, so there is no way I could make it over there to pre-order them.
Well, the leak never specifies for sure. And like I said, the individual figures have not shown up in anyone's system. They *might* come later, but who knows. But the way it's looking right this second, it seems they are GS exclusive via the 3 pack.
Confirmed for reaslies, assuming they don't make any more changes:
-Pro membership is required once again for the 1-hour early event. (This is stressful.)

Rosalina and Ike say hi
Woo! Glad you got em safe and sound!
2. second printing amiibos have a new 3ds on the back of the package. thus far, first printings have only had the gamepad on there. (for NA packaging anyway, idk about imports)
Mario with larger breasts would be OP.
It's like the Super Mario torture dungeon :P

So far all three are. The individual figures are not in anyone else's system.
Yup, because it was complete bullshit :P I'm really glad they aren't doing that.
Yeah, but it was the straight-up dick move I came to expect from GS. Nice job interweb persons!
FUCK.

Apparently the Pro Membership hour early special is still a thing. Maybe some Gamestops are doing that?
I dunno who to believe anymore.
Is it? Last I heard some Gamestops were opening an hour early, but the Pro requirement is gone.
Oh for fuck's sake.
