Bigger sample size for "eazy to get-ness" of each of the Amiibos from this wave. Found out earlier that EBGames had some available online to order from today, this is the way they've gone:
Still Available: Bowser, Rosalina, Sheik, Meta Knight, Lucario, Sonic, Mega Man
Out of stock: Shulk, Toon Link
Not even listed anymore: King Dedede, Ike
So based on both that and what I saw this morning, from easiest to get to the hardest (at least in Australia):
@TeeJay Don't worry about your pre-orders, as you should be fine. @faint replied to you, though it's kinda hiding in there, and that info is correct. Most of the wave 3 amiibo haven't been released in North America yet, not counting the Nintendo World store in New York. We've only seen Toon Link, Sheik, Bowser, and Lucario appear early at many Toys R Us stores. They aren't even supposed to sell Lucario yet, but the other 3 can be purchased just fine. Some Targets sold Sheik early as well, but Toon Link, Bowser and Rosalina have a date of Feb. 1st for them and can't be sold until then. All other wave 3 characters don't really have a known date of release for any retailer yet despite being available in other parts of the world already.
I nver cared much for Toad. The bulbous head and weird diaper make for a bad design to me.
On the subject of the Bowser amiibo, in my hand he feels quite hefty. I'd say he's about double the weight of, say, the Pikachu or Link amiibo. I wonder if Nintendo makes less money off of him since he requires so much more plastic?
I'm only buying him because I want to play the new mode in Captain Toad. I currently don't care about Mario Party 10. I also ordered Bowser from GameStop's website. That makes four amiibos that I own (Yoshi, Peach, Kirby, and soon Bowser).

This makes me feel a bit better, thanks.
If you add me, I need to at least know you or I won't add you back.
I'm only collecting the smash amiibo. I will buy other amiibo I REALLYYYYYY like, but none else. I am not planning on the mario series amiibo. They will be very common, except the rosalina and toad ones.
Wait all of that happened today at NWS? I knew i should of paid a visit after work. I wonder what amiibo they have (or had if sold out) for sale.

Could everyone please stop buying amiibo from Germany? Amazon - for the first time ever - doesn't allow preorders of some characters (Meta, Shulk). "Product not available" it says. It never did that. STOP IT!
On the other hand we have tons of every amiibo in the big stores so I still can get them but I prefer to have them delivered to my house.
There's a Target style store close to mny house. They only have the first wave amiibo and they have all of them. And I have a feeling they haven't sold a single one. Would love to hear about how successfull they actually are in Europe. Seems like all the hype is US based. How are they doing in Japan?

Instead of complaining about others ordering from amazon, why don't you just take a trip to your local store? We don't have rare amiibo available to us in any store or on any website in the US for a reasonable price. That's why we are ordering from amazon.de. Believe me, if there was an easier/cheaper way, I wouldn't be ordering from there. It took 3 weeks for my package to arrive, which is obviously not desirable.

Let's be fair here... You would do the same if you were in America.

So what you're saying is that people should stop buying Amiibos so that you can buy some Amiibos in the most convenient way for you to buy said Amiibos. While it actually being possible for you to walk down to the shops and pick one up. That's your complaint. While elsewhere in the world a store gets three each of some of the rarer ones and they're all gone within the first 10mins.

Yesterday morning that page had all of Wave 3 listed. At about 4PM they had taken down King Dedede and Ike and listed Shulk and Toon Link as out of stock. Today they're only listing Bowser and Rosalina. The first few days here you could take your pick of the first wave. After about a week you were stuck with just the 6 most common ones. Wave 2 was never particularly easy and post-Chrismas? Until yesterday it was just Mario and Pikachu. If things don't chance I suspect it'll go back to just one or two again.
So either they're just really bad at keeping stock up or they're pretty successful AND they're bad at keeping stock up.
Guess I will leave him to his fans (or kids who want an angel toy) then.
Less hassel for others is good for those who like him, I spent hours looking for Marth, it was NOT fun.

Could have just looked at amazon.de
