The bigger question I have is ... as First4Figures based their BotW Champions statues on their respective amiibo ... if they ever get around to releasing Sage amiibos ... will this be the pose Yu-Nope-Bo will have ?

I will be referring to him as Yu-Nope-Bo until his amiibo is found.

@Runex2121 Congratulations !!! Fingers ... and toes ... crossed for all who were able to pre-order from Walmart !!!

the website itself only allows for a max of 1 ... of each sku, that is ... i was able to order one each of the base console and the bundle console last night ... and as i said i just re-ordered the bundle console but it automatically canceled my previous bundle

@Runex2121 Actually ... it is 615 pm here and I was just able to order the bundle console ... although in so doing, walmart apparently canceled the one i ordered last night since there is a hard limit of 1 console.

@Ryu_Niiyama Was Yu-Nope-bo sold out or just not available to begin with - as it was never on any of the online retailer websites.

@rjejr I haven't made a purchase at a Target since I pre-ordered a Sora amiibo a year ago. Not a boycott on my part. Just have no need to use a store that is physically more than a half hour away and has nothing I want or need in general.

@Dm9982 Whatever Walmart is doing, they seemed to have figured out the bot problem with their pre-orders. Although it also appears that nearly all of their accessories have sold out.

@cvrator Who didn't have what ?

@Dm9982 FYI ... just now as of 230 pm ET, I was able to add the base console to my cart on Walmart - which I removed again but amazed I was still able to do so !

@rjejr Put a target on Target !!! LOVE IT !!!

@kevmauldin BestBuy was my home away from home back in the days of CD's and DVD's. LOL

@Gamebits NintendoPrime did a live YouTube stream from in front of his local GS until they opened !!

@PerfectFrost Even when I managed to hit the yellow pre-order button on one and canceled the others - nothing happened. I've managed to get my OLED and my gold Switch Lite upon their launches from BestBuy - so I have not had a problem with BB before.

@Danrenfroe2016 So assuming it was one to a customer, those 50 are guaranteed a console.

@VeeGee456 GameStop website crashed immediately upon going live. At least the people physically waiting at the stores will know whether or not they will get a console as each physical location knows how many units they will have.

@Dm9982 Actually I was able to add it to my cart earlier and then removed it, just to be sure. Now both SKUs are saying they are available for preorder but this time I have not been able to add either to my cart.

@kevmauldin With the possible exception of Target. They seem hopeless. LOL

@Dpishere The MK bundle is STILL available from WM website here from Ohio.

@dkxcalibur That is how I got my PlayStation 2 way back when. Just happened to walk into the local BestBuy one day soon after launch when they were impossible to come by and lo and behold there was one sitting on the shelf.

@Dm9982 My local GameStop did not survive the pandemic. Ironically it was in the same plaza as the local Walmart. I preordered the original Switch from Gamestop and I was able to preorder the Switch 2 from Walmart. Karma at work ??? LOL

@Burning_Spear Sorry ... I am simply stunned over this as I had absolutely no luck whatsoever with the other online giants.

@StarryCiel From what I understand, Walmart website is region locked ... but from here in Ohio ... the MK bundle is STILL available for pre-order !

I'll be damned but Walmart STILL has the MK bundle available for pre-order as of 128 pm ET !!!

@kevmauldin Target was FUBAR all night ! Followed closely by BestBuy. And Gamestop takes the cake for immediately crashing this morning as soon as they went live.

@BrokenCiv I will be referring to him as Yu-Nope-Bo until further notice.

Never saw the checkout screen for BestBuy - despite being ''in line''' for several different bundles they were offering - just hoping to secure one. And none of the online retailers had the Yu-Nope-Bo amiibo !

@red_beard_smitty A tease can be fun. What Target did was sheer torture !!!

@Mando44646 Target was a total sh*tshow for me. Console in cart but could not check out. Shenanigans ensued with multiple errors and refreshing cart ... first received text message from my credit card company to confirm purchase ... THEN had to call them to confirm purchase ... AND STILL was never able to complete the purchase. .... Had much better - and simpler - luck with Walmart. Now just have to hope and pray they do not cancel my order.

@killercerial Maybe the DROP THE PRICE crowd was doing so to dampen enthusiasm for preorders ... or they themselves are the owners of the bots that are going to charge 600-800 for switch 2 on ebay.

@towerprincess I never sniffed a preorder on BestBuy despite being ''in line'' for several of the bundles they were offering. Target was a total disaster as I kept having error messages trying to checkout. Walmart ended up being the least difficult.

Time to put Yunobo's picture on milk cartons ... HAVE YOU SEEN THIS AMIIBO ???

Gamestop website was an even bigger sh*tshow than BestBuy and Target. Walmart website here in Ohio STILL has the Switch 2 bundle available for pre-order. Base console appears to have finally sold out.

@Elitepatriot I've been collecting the Zelda amiibo specifically since even before BotW. So i am very die-hard ... Trump Tax be damned ... and very disappointed I can't find Yunobo to preorder anywhere here in the US.

As of 1015 ET, Walmart is now out of stock for the MK bundle - but the base console is STILL available for preorder.

@Burning_Spear Yeah there were definitely shenanigans going on with the Target preorder - constantly got error messages - got a text from Capital One to authorize the transaction ... and even after that I had to CALL them as well. And the Target purchase still never happened !

The original Switch was the first console I ever tried to purchase on day one - ended up getting it on Gamestop website along with the big collector's edition for BotW which I still have unopened. I was able to order the OLED Switch and the gold Switch Lite on day one from BestBuy for each. I've never preordered anything from Walmart - so fingers crossed.

@dskatter I had the console in my cart on Target but shenanigans ensued and I was never able to finalize my order. Had great success with Walmart - just hoping they don't turn around and cancel my order. BestBuy was simply hopeless.

@Burning_Spear That really sucks. I am so sorry. But again the fact that preorders are still available in my region has me worried that it is all a mirage and it will be canceled. Target would never let me complete my purchase. And I was never able to even get that far on BestBuy despite being ''in line'' for several bundles that they were offering.

@Burning_Spear Not sure what to tell you. Maybe Walmart does have regional preorders. I had to wait ''in line'' for quite a while last night after midnight. But there is absolutely no waiting this morning. But with Walmart's history of canceling preorders, this may be a bad omen.

8 am ET ... Still no Yunobo amiibo, you know ...

@Burning_Spear It is now 8 am ET and yes, I can still add both SKU's to my cart on Walmart. I saw somewhere that Walmart is region locking pre-orders in the US. I don't know if that is the case or not. I live in the Midwest and I was able to preorder both SKU's last night before they ''ran out''. But the preorders are available again this morning.

@Runex2121 Please check Walmart again.

If Walmart still has preorders ... I am waiting for the other shoe to drop to see if they cancel my preorders.

As of 7:25 am ET, Walmart still has preorders live for both SKUs !!!

If the confirmation emails from Walmart actually mean anything, I was able to pre-order BOTH the base console and the bundle console. Target was a total disaster as I had the bundle console in my cart, but I kept getting ''errors'' in trying to complete my purchase. BestBuy pre-orders did NOT start at midnight, and even though they eventually went live, I never even sniffed a pre-order despite being ''in line'' for various different bundle versions that were offered. With Walmart, I got ''in-line'' immediately and was able to purchase various accessories and amiibo with a separate order while I waited for the chance to order the consoles themselves - with the notable exception that the Yunobo amiibo was NOWHERE to be found on ANY of the online retailers. Now I just have to hope that Walmart does not cancel my pre-orders which apparently they have been known to do. And I will NEVER, EVER use Target for anything ever again !!!

Where are the Yunobo amiibo ???

Yunobo amiibo does not appear to be available for pre-order on BestBuy, Target or Walmart. The other 3 are. Was able to pre-order the console on Walmart but attempts to pre-order on the other sites were a total sh*tshow.

Thanks, Nintendo ! Just when you couldn't come up with yet another daily bone-headed move, you continue to outdo yourselves with this disaster of a console launch !!!

@shoeses ... aaaaand GameStop has jacked up the new amiibo from $ 19.99 to $ 29.99 !!! A 50% increase !!!
