She really would fit right in. I can't think of many other that would fit more.

[Hypershell]

Over 34 hours of playtime on the 3DS and I FINALLY got Volnutt's trophy.

Seems like nothing new ever pops up in the Trophy Shop anymore, but I still get 2-3 new ones during Trophy Rush.

[Police Girl]

That's some great stock there Gamestop #5155

[The Great Gonzo]

One clerk at one of our local GameStops said that Nintendo and GS had some sort of falling-out years ago, hence amiibo troubles.

Zero Charizard...guess I better grab one at Toys 'R Us tomorrow, if possible.


In other news, one of my Yes Asia orders shipped (Pit, presumably). No idea when it'll get here.

[OBJECTION MAN]

Still trying to get a Ness... They always popup when I am at work, and are gone before I can find out and secure one...

[Protoman Blues]

I'll be picking up the ones I reserved tomorrow. Haha, I doubt I'll get the other ones as they'll probably be sold out before I get there.

And of course that's why they keep giving Gamestop exclusive amiibos. Its no secret Gamestop doesn't really like Nintendo though, going by the paltry shelf space they always have in comparison to Xbox and PS games.

Anyway, got Jiggly and Charizard from Target. Silver Mario was gone by the time I got to the front of line and everybody else I already had.

No Nintendo World to save you this time, huh?

[Satoryu]

Nintendo World had a midnight launch for them along with Splatoon I believe.

Got a Charizard from Gamestop. My store only got 2 of those, 2 Ness, and 1 Wario. Obviously no Lucina or Robin. They had a buttload of Silver Mario though, and a decent amount of Pac-Man.

I ordered Lucina and Robin from elsewhere, but they're on back order. I'm gonna try Amazon later today as a contingency plan. I had caved and won a Lucina off ebay before that, though, so Robin should be the only one I'm in risk of not getting.

[Police Girl]

Silver Mario is the only one I don't have accounted for this wave.

Lucina, Robin and Wario (Along with an extra Marth I ordered before Walmart put theirs up, whoops) are coming in July via Playasia.
Greninja shipped out of Australia today, however I don't think he's got a Tracking number as of yet.
Pac-Man and Splatoon 3-Pak both emerged from Best Buy and are on their way apparently today.
Ness shipped yesterday, and he's gonna take a while I imagine.

[Protoman Blues]

Indeed. They didn't allow pre-orders for those two nor Jiggs, which isn't out till the 5th anyway. Still though, got every other one. Nintendo World is good because on occasion they'll get a bunch more in one day.

[Police Girl]

Yeah, I see their tweets about how they get stock in.

Bit jealous but at the same time I manage alright.

Pac-Man and the Splatoon's arrived, Pac-Man looks fantastic! definitely a favorite of mine, I didn't really need to preorder since he was on the shelf at Walmart, but I don't care because I got him and he's great.

[Protoman Blues]

I could have had them all already through various locations, but I'm stubborn with these. I refuse to pay more than the actual retail price of these things.

[Police Girl]

Good man.

I cracked and so far I've bought:

Little Mac
Villager
Captain Falcon
Pit
Lucario
Rosalina
Meta Knight
Ike
Shulk
Wii Fit Trainer
Lucina
Robin
Wario
King Dedede
Greninja

higher than retail either from importing (Lucina, Robin, Wario, Little Mac, Villager, Greninja. Probably WFT as well.) or giving up and buying a scalped one (Pit, Captain Falcon.)

Also bought a bunch from Something Awful goons (Meta Knight, Ike, Dedede, Toon Link, Sheik.)

I've had my share of good luck and bad luck.

[Protoman Blues]

The only ones I'm missing are Shulk, Rosalina, Pit, and Dedede

[Strider Xhaiden]

I bought Samus and Fox, then realized that I've no use for them.

[The Great Gonzo]

I got Greninja, Charizard, Pac-Man, and an Inkling girl. Greninja was especially fortuitous as he was the literal last one at our location.

[Soultrigger]

Got really lucky with Lucina on Amazon, not so much with Robin. bleh

Ordered Robin from tigerdirect, expecting a cancellation. Worst case scenario, I'll just trade for him locally I guess.

[Police Girl]

I'm a bit surprised Charizard wasn't more common honestly.

I managed to scrounge up Silver Mario at Gamestop (They had like 7 of him) and the only other thing they had was a lone Wario outside of old Wave 1/2/3 stuff and the Super Mario set.

[Amatiramisu]

Some guys stole a whole shipment of the amiibo edition of Splatoon. Get [tornado fang]ing ready for the scalper wave.

First a truck with a shipment of amiibo gets jacked and now this?! What is wrong with this world?

What truck? This "incident" in Europe is the second notorious Amiibo crime yet?


Sheesh... that's ridiculous. Anyway you guys planning on getting the Marth, Ike, Lucina, and Robin Amiibos for Fire Emblem If when it comes out?

[Amatiramisu]

>getting those amiibos
kek

My buddy went on a [tornado fang]ing adventure and BARELY got Robin and Lucina, let alone the others.

Seriously like to have Marth, Ike, Robin, and Lucina in my party in Fire Emblem If, but you need the Amiibos to get it and they're in short demand. I can't even import from Japanese online stores as they're sold out already. :<

[Police Girl]

Yeah the FE amiibos were horribly stocked here in the US.

My buddy went on a [tornado fang]ing adventure and BARELY got Robin and Lucina, let alone the others.

Barely got them? Luckier than most I would imagine. I mean Ness was pretty short-stocked too but Jigglypuff and Greninja were actually rather well-stocked by each of their respective stores from my understanding. Lucina and Robin looked to be the hardest ones to obtain this wave.

[The Great Gonzo]

There's always hope for a proper restock come FE if's release...I hope.

Speaking of restocks, most of Wave 4 in general seems to have evaporated, with only a few Pac-Men here and there. I didn't get Wario on Friday for fear of over-spending; I hope he doesn't end up as rare as Lucina and Robin.
