I think the first post is long overdue for a Wave 3 update:
I don't think Shulk deserves one, since more are being made before Xeno 3D

Assuming other stores will have any past ten minutes after opening. @_@

Mega Man, Ike, and Dedede haven't been released in most stores yet, right? I'm still trying to find the three of them.

The May Shulks are pretty much sold out already.
Let's be honest, they're all going to be super underproduced/preorders only/get there hours early and they'll be gone in minutes. >_<

Needs a minus for Sheik and Toon Link. I only ever see Bowser in stores.I think the first post is long overdue for a Wave 3 update:

We said the same thing initially about Diddy, Toon Link and Shiek. Diddy is everywhere now and Toon Link isn't completely impossible to find. Shiek is still pretty rare but I've seen more turn up.
I have serious concerns over finding Ike and Dedede, but I feel like Mega Man is gonna get a supply burst and be around for a while. He's the one I want the most though so even though I think he'll be in greater supply I'm still nervous about getting one.
I think the first post is long overdue for a Wave 3 update:
Are those the X from Xenoblade Chronicles X?? Hah
Also, this is just depressing. 2 or 3 days out and they become rare, it's ridiculous!

Just like the ones I mentioned.
And then online links became regular and new shipments in stores after a bit.

There won't be much dust to settle. Ike and any other FE character is guaranteed rare/super rare, Dedede is the secret already rare one, and the store exclusives speak for themselves. Sonic seems to be headed for rare while Mega Man may be uncommon/rare.
Nobody knows with amiibo.
The Shulk reprints may be card form though.
Yeah. That and the whole this amiibo is more rare in one region vs another is why they didn't get any x yet

Well, maybe. Did you read the news today about future amiibo?
If they charged everyone $13 for a card, while the website was showing a picture of the actual Amiibo figure, Gamestop will never hear the end of it. I doubt those will be cards.

That would explain it I guess. I never see Shiek and Toon Link in my town, but we don't have a TRU.
Also Amiibo cards are probably for those only interested in the NFC tech.
That's all I'm saying too.
If there's a reason for Nintendo to not release future Amiibo waves, it'll be because they've given up. That they realized they can't stock these properly, so why bother.
Ganondorf, Zero Suit Samus, Jigglypuff, Greninja, Bowser Jr...they're not obscure in the least.
I am a creature of few words. :3
Dang Ike already on that list?I think the first post is long overdue for a Wave 3 update:

Nope. Too much $$ to be had. Will release 1 million more Mario and Link due to high sales and maybe a 1,000 of each new ones. Good luck!
And the cards, I'd guess theyll be $10 for a pack of 5. All Random with Mario and Peach cards ratio of 1/5.

Except in making cards they will replace the figures (except a few franchises like Mario, Zelda, who will still have figures.) and never do reprints. I don't want a stupid flat card I want a figure! I hope cards bomb. Figures forever and ever!
Btw: if I have CN platinum, what would someone trade for it? Of course games aren't revealed, but there will certainly be some big retail games. If theres nothing I truly want, I wonder if I could get Meta Knight with it. Atleast a Mega Man. Guess I'll have to wait until after its shown off before I do the offer...

Walked into TRU looking for Megaman and saw this sitting on the shelf.

The preorders were for the figures, not cards. Unless gamestop flat out lied.

I'm still holding on to stupid hope that meta knight can at least be bought on Friday.
It's real nice how two of the three amiibos for the new Kirby game are hard to get.

Does TRU tell you over the phone if they have any in stock? I know Best Buy does not.

You gotta get that avatar quote in, yo.
Guess I was just mentioning the lower tiers. Fixed and thanks!
I'm going to leave my avatar like that for now.
And wave 4:
Unicorn:
Robin
Lucina
Rare:
Ness
Semi Rare (Fox/CF level):
PacMan
Uncommon:
Wario
Common:
Charizard
Ness will be in his own new tier of rarity; he will be practically nonexistent. Exactly one will be sent to the Nintendo World Store in New York City. It will be hung from a peg behind the counter at 2:36 p.m. without warning or fanfare. Some schlubby tourist who walked in to buy some sourvenirs will see Ness on that peg, think he looks like the boy from those Pokémon cartoons and buy him for his kid. That kid will have never played Earthbound in his life, won't know who Ness is and will unceremoniously throw him in a drawer to be sold at a garage sale for $1 10 years from now.

Talk to who is working that day (preferably manager)
Beg for limit 1 per customer, ask them to do tickets or no running policy.
Go REALLY REALLY early
Nice! Congrats! Hope its flawless!
Wow. That's too early to be overpricing it like that. Might as well add Bowser for an extra $100
They usually don't look for me and just say no
