Nintendo's Amiibo (Wii U, 3DS)

[AstroBlue]

They sell out instantly in Australia too, I've only managed to get Mario, Samus and Pikachu.

I don't think Nintendo purposefully wants to make supply smaller; they're probably just cautious about making a lot of things and never selling them through at the moment

That could be. They've certainly never limited supply before...

...
there are two ways to read Yoshi's first sentence. John chose the wrong one, lol.

ehhh it happens.

Shame Nintendo is such a cunt about allowing supply to meet demand.

See I blame retailers. Why let some douche bag pre-order 100 fucking Rosalinas (which did happen, and I think he did it multiple times) and screwing over tons of people. Fuck that, limit it to 1 per person.

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

It's not a retailer's job to socialize toys.
I blame the idiots that pay scalper prices for this dumb shit.

Bull's eye.

Fuck it. Has anyone tried ordering these abroad using a courier service?

Finch.

NOT YET.
I ordered Rosalina from Amazon.fr and canceled Meta Knight from Best Buy to go with AmiAmi. Shipping a thing from across the ocean and into the middle of the United States costs less than what Best Buy was shipping him for and even cheap SAL is probably going to take the same amount of time as Best Buy throwing it at FedEx who throws it at USPS after about a week.

Tenso was recommended by someone on Neogaf if you're going to ship through Amazon Japan. If you're ordering more than one and you can't get it on AmiAmi, that's the way to go. Otherwise, shipping gets kind of expensive.


I was wrong about everything last month. Good luck finding anyone but Bowser from Wave 3, maybe Toon Link. It seems to get even worse as more people are waiting to pounce on pre-orders.

Yikes, did they leave directions? I have no idea what's going on there.

oh, um, click "English" and then register first. I think all the info is there.

It's been a while since i've done this but i'll probably be doing it next month if AmiAmi falls through! I tried to find the post but it's buried deep in a long thread.

[ChaoofNee]

hahahah... of course. The English button. Whoops.

Thanks, man. I'll give it a shot.

When I went to TRU last friday they had Bowser and Toon Link, I got the 2nd to last Toon Link, and only because I want a Link without a piss stand.

I'm afraid for Ness, man.
