Topic: Amiibo Alert Thread

Wave 4 is up on Best buy couldn't find them on the actual website but they are on the phone app. I was able to preorder all of them good luck to all!

@4stringsteve It just says 'Coming Soon' for me...have they sold or something?

I was in line behind 2 people and even then, because of how every GS was trying to get stuff done at once, they sold out of Robin(the main one I wanted; they've also sold out of, as of now, Wario and Lucina).

@Lalivero Yup, I believe some sold out around 30 minutes after they were up.

@4stringsteve Dang...probably no Robin for me then(ofc the only one I really wanted... .-.).

ADVANCE WARNING: It's rumored that Greninja will start to become available at Toys R Us sometime between 7 and 9 EST.

Just to clarify, that's 7-9 AM. My mistake, guys, sorry

TeeJay is wrong. I just checked at 6 AM; they're all sold out. Yes, that's right. It happened sometime between 1 AM and 6 AM, but nobody knew except for the scalpers.

Seriously, there is not a child in the world that would even acknowledge the existence of a Wave 4 amiibo. Wario and Pac Man might have more supplies, but I don't care about them. I want Ness, Robin, and Jigglypuff.

They put up Greninja up at 3:30AM even though they apparently said they would do it at 7. Sorry, nobody could have seen it coming.

I was actually going to wake up at 3 AM (since it was 12AM PST) to check, but, for some reasons, rumors tend to be true about these type of things. I believed in the rumor and got yanked. I'm sorry.

@Obito_Sigma TRU opened up preorders around 3am EST and lasted for about an hour, I noticed it at around 3:25am and posted in the other amiibo thread. The stock lasted for about an hour though that's likely due to everyone expecting it several hours later and most don't have the luxury of staying awake 24/7.

Woke up to my gf freaking out that she missed Greninja. Now I'm up getting ready to see if there will be pre order tickets in store lol. Oh amiibo how I love thee....

Wow, who's idea were they to start releasing them in the middle of the night? And so far each place hasn't put the listings on their website. I give up.

I ended up missing Greninja not because I fell asleep or even forgot to refresh the page. But because NONE of the Wave 4 links would show up for me! Neither typing greninja or amiibo worked. I only found them after it was too late under the nintendo search tag. I'm surprised as much people were even able to order when they did. How incompetent can you be to botch up a release of a highly anticipated product like this?!

I've never liked TRU's search system, now that it's cost me a limited opportunity and some much needed sleep, I think I'm going to leave them that feedback they keep asking for every time I log in.

You know what? Now that I think about it, Nintendo isn't entirely to blame here. Another factor playing into how hard it is to find amiibos is the sheer stupidity of the stores.

Pac Man up (or still up) at Toys R us for pre-order

He's gone.

I just think Nintendo may need to find a supplemental manufacturer to reprint all the old amiibo.

I just wanted a Splatoon figure for locked content only accessible by highly limited amiibo

Question: Is this amiibo craze only in the US, or is this happening in the UK and Japan, etc?

@justlink Did you manage to get one? Just a bit earlier Best Buy had both the girl Splatoon and boy up on their site for a little bit before they were gone again.
