Topic: Amiibo Alert Thread

...why not buy him online from Target.com?

You know it'll constantly say "out of stock", right...eBay and/or Amazon are like the ONLY options we have now. That's pretty much the story over here, no clue about UK.

I just import or buy from JaxonH it's so much easier, and only a few dollars extra.

If there is an amiibo I really want, like Pit or Rosalina, I just risk paying extra for imports and shipping costs. I've been to Target on a release date when the wave 3 came out and it was one of the most annoying shopping experiences I've ever had. Nothing was left except Pac Man, Metal Mario and the Splatoon sets, and they ended up re stocking Jigglypuff and Pac Man anyway a few months later so it felt like a wasted effort.

@NintyMan...Ugh...

Good thing Dr. Mario and Bowser Jr. aren't that important to me. Just worried about Zero Suit and Ganondorf

I was able to get a Jigglypuff without any issues

Good for you....all I have over here are Marios...and Peach...es....
also Pac-Man, but even he's almost out of stock everywhere.

So apparently, this spanish website has listed a Shovel Knight amiibo:
http://www.xtralife.es/otros/figura-amiibo-shovel-knight/19515

Supposedly, nintendo send them the list, which contained Shovel Knight, and the page, to not leave the item listing without images, decided to use one found online.

How true could it be?

@Megumi: Of course, take it with a grain of salt, but that website has been in the business selling amiibos for some time :>

@Gridatttack ...About that:

@NintendoFan64: I know that the render comes from the smashified series.

The amiibo is a bad photoshop attemp.

The retailer in question decided to search one online to not leave the listing with no item

@Gridatttack Yes, but...

@Gridattack take off the rose tinted shades.

ROB, Duck Hunt Duo, Mr. Game & Watch, Mii Brawler, Mii Swordfighter and Mii Gunner preorders are now up on the Nintendo UK Online Store.

Yup, I just secured my pre-orders about 20 minutes ago.
£65.94 pre-ordered directly from Nintendo (shipping included), as opposed to £89.94 from GAME.co.uk.

Interestingly they forgot to restrict these to one per customer like all the other items.

Looks like they may have gotten over stock issues or speculation is dying down: I had no issues going in a half hour after the announcement; with Jigglypuff and Olimar I barely squeaked in there minutes after the mail went out (and I note Olimar and other former dares are available again).

I still wouldn't mind getting the other Pokemon figures in advance of Pokken Tournament as I imagine there has to be some kind of amiibo support there. The question is whether or not you'll have to blow away your Smash data to use it.

One of the reasons to buy an Amiiqo, along with the Amiibo figures.
