Yeah Corrin P2 and SS Link are both Amazon and for some weird reason they have not put them up for sale yet. I feel like Amazon is still treating amiibo as if it were 2015 and they sell out in 2 seconds. They do still sell out, sometimes, but it usually takes hours now at the worst. (and I still call shenanigans on GameStop selling out so fast on their exclusives... I fully expect horrible bundles to "mysteriously" pop up on launch day with "some extra stock we just found somewhere!")

Orestus · June 2017

Damn you Nintendo for making more Amiibo's I want and damn you PA forums for letting me know they were available...

Amazon is terrible when it comes to amiibo preorders.

Yeah, Amazon's usually great but I think I'm going to give up and put in a Best Buy order.

Amazon removed toys to life from their 20% off thing anyways, so they are cheaper at Best Buy with gamer's club. I also saw it pointed out on reddit, if you don't have gamer's club but plan on buying all the amiibo, the amount of money you save pays for the whole subscription fee

Edit:

fuck you gamestop

$6 shipping for each one

also, fuck you best buy

not offering shipping (????!!!!) and somehow telling me that nearest store pickup was over 250 miles away

Best Buy's site is garbage. If you see this, it either means the site is glitching AGAIN, or they are actually sold out but the site is not disabling the button properly yet

Edit 2: I took a peek. Try removing Mipha from your order. She looks sold out. Everything else seems fine

Orestus · June 2017

I was unable to get Mipha and Urbosa on best buy, would not ship or store pickup so I'm assuming they sold out. All the rest worked. I bit the bullet and picked up those 2 on Gamestop for $4.99 shipping each (Best Buy was free shipping).

Warlock82 · June 2017

Yeah the four BotW amiibo accidentally went up for a few hours or so last night (of course I missed it then) so I bet they are starting to sell out due to orders from last night taking a chunk of the stock already

Aw poop, the wedding three-pack seems to be exclusive to Gamestop.

I don't think so. Amazon has a listing for it. Best Buy just doesn't have it up for some reason. Maybe they'll have it later

homogenized · June 2017

None of the Canadian retailers have the Metroid pack up, Amazon.com is sold out, and GameStop and BestBuy.com don't ship to Canada anymore.

Fawst · June 2017

Here's how long it's been since I clicked on this thread; this is the post I opened to:

Warlock82 · June 2017

Heh, they still haven't made any :P Though they did make 8-bit Link, so they are getting there :P

MajorEnfejar · June 2017

i want a line block tetris amiibo, just because i think it would be funny.

MajorEnfejar · June 2017

But you literally cant get a tetris with an L block.

Krathoon · June 2017

Pre-ordered the Metroid 2 pack at GameStop. They are available.

Krathoon · June 2017

I also just snagged Boo and Rosalina off of GameStop.

We all know that if Tetris were going to get an amiibo, it'd be L block.

7 different Amiibos only available as a 7-pack.

Would importing four of the Qbby amiibo suffice?

Krathoon · June 2017

If the Metroid 2 pack becomes available at Best Buy, I will cancel my GameStop order and use my 20% discount.

Warlock82 · June 2017

All of the amiibo are up at Walmart if anyone still needed them:

MajorEnfejar · June 2017

Ill probably get a goomba just because i like how it looks, but after the monster hunter world reveal for ps4, theres like zero chance im getting a switch to use my amiibo with, so much less reason to get many more of them. Especially since the ones ive wanted are fire emblem ones and i dont think i want the alm celica ones after playing the game, and the female corrin one is like a year late. maybe if they release the MH stories amiibo ill pick up some of those.

Warlock82 · June 2017

The new Zelda amiibo are out today. Amazon still hasn't bothered to put up Skyward Sword Link of course...

Warlock82 · June 2017

Also picked up my TP Link from GameStop at lunch. Jesus could the guy try to sell me any more shit? "Oh we've got these other BotW amiibo in stock!" "Have them already" "Well what about the new amiibo that are coming, want to preorder?" "Already have them preordered"

CSStheGr8 · June 2017

Pretty sure I met a scalper when I went to pick up my Best Buy preorder as he grabbed all three of the Majora's Mask Links that were on the display floor. Saw him again when I walked into the Gamestop to see if they had any TP links. Sadly they didn't and said they only got enough in for the three people that preordered. You'd think Nintendo would learn that the Zelda ones actually do sell so overproducing isn't as big a worry as it was with the Animal Crossing ones.

Yeah, they are garbage. I never got a notification. But:

I follow amiibo alerts on twitter and they seem good

^ This. These are who I follow. Inevitably one of them will post something right away:
https://twitter.com/reddit_amiibo (look out for false hits on this - it's just an auto-bot thing for when people post on the reddit)
https://twitter.com/amiiboAlerts
https://twitter.com/AmiiboNews
https://twitter.com/AmiiboSteal
https://twitter.com/jasoninquires (personal account but he posts a lot of them, plus good deals on other stuff like when Switches go in stock somewhere)

Edit: And yeah, GameStop is totally hoarding them. There seems to be high demand for the Zelda ones, so there are shortages, but GameStop sold out stupid fast. Amazon did too, but I think it's because of the stupid ass way they waited until the last minute to put them up which sent all the scalpers into a frenzy

Warlock82 · June 2017

Jesus Christ Amazon. You are lucky I am not an in box collector. This is garbage:

What are the chances of Nintendo coming out with more 30th Zelda amiibo?
I regret not getting OoT and 8-Bit Link. They go for four times as much on Amazon.

Good in my opinion. They haven't done a restock yet and they sold out decently fast. Personal guess is they might wait to time it with DLC pack 2/holiday season when a lot more people will be picking up BotW.

BronzeKoopa · June 2017

Really should get rid of my amiibo packaging, but their molds are really good for storage. Can't imagine throwing them all into a shoe box or something when moving. Have a bad habit of hoarding product packaging and boxes.

That makes it sound like Mario is being haunted by the ghost of a mother-in-law.

Lady Corrin is up on Amazon as of 4 minutes ago.

Warlock82 · July 2017

Oh course Amazon would put her up literally seconds after I leave lunch to head back to work. Still managed to get her though. Still, enough Amazon exclusives now Nintendo. They don't know how to do amiibos

BronzeKoopa · July 2017

Can't find the short hair Bayo in stores. Is it a retailer exclusive?

Warlock82 · July 2017

Xaquin wrote: »

I'm really sick of retailer exclusives

I don't mind them so much but Amazon sucks overall at amiibo and should not get anymore. I'd be happy if GameStop didn't either. Best Buy and TRU have largely been fine. Target would be ok but I still won't forgive them for fucking me out of Jigglypuff that I had preordered and they never sent, even after putting more up online afterwards

Warlock82 · July 2017

Wow, female Corrin arrived yesterday. Surprised it not only came so quick (Amazon was telling me Wednesday), but also on a Sunday. They even shipped it in a box instead of a god damn envelope this time so the packaging wasn't completely crushed...

The "after beating the game" functionality on these is neat. Especially the Metroid one.

Skull2185 · July 2017

Managed to just buy Bayonetta and Cloud amiibo on Amazon. Regular price with no 3rd party shithead markup. The Bayo amiibo isn't the exact one I wanted though. Snagged Bayo 2 version because the Bayo 1 version was $37. Still pretty cool to be able to buy these things like they're normal items and not rare gemstones or something.

I randomly found a Bayonetta in EB Games on Saturday.

Amazon.ca had Cloud and Corrin in stock briefly this morning, so I grabbed those.

I've decided with Amiibo that I'm not going to obsess over it anymore. If I happen to see one in stock somewhere at MSRP, I'll pick it up. But I'm not going to pay more, or go out of my way to get them.

Just isn't worth it anymore.

This is exactly where I'm at. I checked Amazon and saw Cloud at normal price, so I bought him. Looked through the other Amiibo that I wanted, none of them were, so I didn't buy them. It's kinda just that simple. I'd like to have a bigger collection but I'm not dealing with the bullshit associated with trying to get the ones I want.

Warlock82 · July 2017

Knowing Nintendo there will be a random reprint like a year from now or something.

To be fair though, I'm still predicting one this Christmas. Business-wise it makes sense to reprint all the Zelda amiibo when a lot of people will likely be picking up BotW for the first time.

Of course, it *is* Nintendo...

Penumbra · August 2017

Is the Guardian from BotW one of the rare Amiibos now? I was at Target the other day and they had four. I bought one; as well as the only Wolf Link, because I missed it when it first came around.

homogenized · August 2017

Metroid pack available for preorder on Amazon.ca:
