They were both pre-orders. Mine, and someone else's. I consider myself lucky to have even gotten it I guess, but I find it a bit ridiculous that they didn't even get any more than that.

I don't have time for console or smartphone fanboys.

Our Walmart only got 4 gold Marios. What a tiny amount! Nintendo is handling things terribly.

In other news, water is wet.

Seriously though, the big N needs to step it up. >:/

If you add me, I need to at least know you or I won't add you back.

That seems to be common with Gamestop and amiibo. Having only enough for pre-orders, I mean. I wouldn't judge the situation on the first day. Sure, one particular Gamestop got only 2 Toad amiibo, but other stores and locations have more. One Toys R Us in particular that I saw a picture of had 20+ Toads as well as a good amount of the other SMB amiibo. They just released today. Give it time. There will most likely be plenty of each Super Mario amiibo at most retailers. After all, this is the Mario franchise we're talking about.

Beep.
That is all.

I made an online order to pick up in store, I have been at work all day so hopefully they have mine

People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...

Gamestop mostly just stocks pre-orders for pretty much everything that isn't advertised through the roof, last I checked...

That's just how Gamestop handles amiibos. I asked them yesterday on what amiibos they'll have and they said they'll only have the ones preordered. They'll have a normal amount soon afterwards.

You're not really lucky, I went to Target and they had like 20+ Toads and all other Super Mario amiibos too.

From what I can tell so far it seems like they've made a lot more of these. I assume there's a lot of regional variation in stock but looking at the stock checker now all of the stores still say they have all of this new wave in stock. Even after a full day. For previous waves they've been sold out pretty much everywhere as soon as they went on the shelves.

Yea even though Toys R Us charges a extra dollar for all their figures it is worth it for how much they stock.

My game stop also got 2 toads (both preordered), but I couldn't preorder, they only accepted 2. Also they haven't ever had any of the Fire Emblem Amiibo in stock.

I'm calling shenanigans. It's not like GameStop doesn't have a history of trying to create false scarcity.

I honestly really dislike Gamestop and I want to make an effort to no longer buy games and amiibos from there unless it's a Gamestop exclusive.
