I have a headache because i been waiting for the Lucina and Ike amiibo for the longest time. My pikachu and zelda amiibo are so lonely. I am afraid when they restock they will be all gone again.

Darnit! I don't get paid until next week and best buy pings your account for funds. I guess it is down to amazon...

I wouldn't read into that too much. I'm pretty sure ebgames has done the same with most of the other waves. Every time they have had a few extra in stock, there has been stock at other stores (who don't take pre-orders) AND there have been second shipments.
After the amiibo madness that happened yesterday, I'm PRAYING that this amiibo thing bites Nintendo in the a$$ soon.
Y'know, it's not entirely their fault. Gamestop's servers weren't prepared to handle the amount of pre-orders, and Toys R' Us making Greninja available at 3 in the morning was just stupid. My point is, the stores are also partially to blame.
There is nothing here...except for the stuff I just typed...

Sure these issues are part fault to the retailer but the fact all of this is happening is solely due to Nintendo's stock issues that started on day 1 (Smash launch). If amiibo were plentiful at Smash launch and continued that way throughout all of the waves then scalpers wouldn't have got involved and the issues that happened yesterday wouldn't have happened as people would preorder whenever it fitted well into their day rather than as soon as they became available.

EB Australia is sold out on their online store, but you can still go in store and preorder, as I did this morning.
On the bright side of all of this, we can at least thank the powers that be that Nintendo wasn't so cruel as to region lock amiibos. Could you imagine not even being able to import them?
Here I was thinking to get a Yarn Yoshi amiibo with ease. After reading what happened during the last two days, I know that it's proably going to be a pain in the arse to get one.
