For both the website PO and the bundle for all 6?

She told me it had to be web in store which is their in store service. She told me for that it wasn't online.

 

[Lunarian]

I feel like I'm going to be spamming F5 all day.../sigh

You know what, gonna #YOLO this round of amiibos and every upcoming one. Seems like exclusives are here to stay and preorders are still unclear as heck for other retailers.

What does that mean. You're going to you only live once Amiibo?

Posted on reddit. I like the sound of the bundle for all 6. Not sure if the "website later" thing is true though.

Just heard from a manager friend at Gamestop who just opened up shop for the day... at 3PM EST Pre-orders go live for Web-in-store ONLY and the website will go live later. There will be a bundle of all 6 amiibo for 77.94. (No discount, just easy ordering) LIMIT ONE SKU PER CUSTOMER, but it "looks like more of a warning than it does a system restriction" (Not sure what this means, any GS employees that can clarify?)
I'm a big proponent of calling for proof or crying speculation, so take this as you want.

Edit: Confirmed legit by /u/Dakftw [1] ... info came via email/memo. Everyone thank him for clarifying things!

I'm ok with that. I'll just try to get an extra Lucina and Robin from somewhere else.

Please vote for CRONO from Chrono Trigger and then your other favorite character after. Thank you!

https://cp.nintendo.co.jp/us/

Crono would be cool.

I voted for Impa though.

I think both would work well.

 

[Windom Earle]

How come Europe always gets the hook up from every gaming company and the US gets shafted? Why does NOA have to do this...

We call it the Gold Mario tax.

 

[Novel Mike]

I'm not at work so I can't confirm but sounds likely good way to prevent scalpers.

lol nahhh

I mean that if I get it I get it, if not, screw it. I'm not gonna freak around with this crap process anymore of staying until ungodly hours refreshing a darn web page only to see it go up for 2 minutes and then disappear forever.

Nintevolutionary War a brewing over these taxes.

 

[RobFox64tm]

Wow a single sku'd bundle and a limit of one per customer? I think people should be able to secure these pretty easily then. As long as they go down today to place their orders, that is. I think Nintendo and retailers are both trying to crack down on scalpers.

Pretty sure WIS is for PO at the store but your order gets shipped to your house. You get charged in full on the spot.

It will directly ship to your house instead of going to the store.

Ahh thanks. To the store we go!
But for all 6, online sometime later yet to be double confirmed.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

My gamestop called to remind me the preorder goes up at 3

 

[A Human Becoming]

Online later? Son of a bitch.

 

[pete_clarf]

You can get a two-year service plan on Jigglypuff for only $29.00 now. That wasn't there before!

Spoiler

Pretty exciting stuff.

Just to be clear, and maybe this is a stupid question to ask, but they're still selling them individually, right?

 

[CopperPuppy]

Ugh, I really hope the bundle SKU is available online. Work simply doesn't permit me to be present in-store to secure these preorders.

 

[EroticSushi]

Just to be clear, and maybe this is a stupid question to ask, but they're still selling them individually, right?

Most likely. Seems like they're just going to have a listing for all 6 together to make it easier for those who are getting all of them.

 

[ThatMattZ]

Pre-order button went live on Target.com. Still isn't working but it's a start. It's also showing a limit of 2.

EDIT: To clarify the Pre-order Now button on Jigglypuff lets you click on it now. HOWEVER it still won't let you purchase them. If you put in a quantity of 2 it kicks out and says LIMIT 2

 

[Lambtron]

Yeah... I have a meeting that goes right up until 2. I'm hoping they're online at that time but if not I guess I'll head to the store.

Preorder for what exactly? Things are a little hectic and I'm not sure I have all my info right.

yeah I got excited for a second.
as for a limit to that is great. It allows collectors to open one and have on sealed, plus it allows people to get free shipping.

the second pink ball of fluff.... JIGGY PUFF!

 

[poy1990]

this is gonna be frustrating

 

[Lunarian]

Would you guys say WIS is more safe than ordering online? I'm afraid I'm going to get to gamestop and they say they aren't doing preorders and not get home in time to preorder online... :3 The one time where I'd like a smartphone...

[jason00]

[A Human Becoming]

Unless Gamestop online pre-orders go up tonight I will likely not get Ness this print. As long as Robin and Lucina are on Amazon at 3PM I should be safe.

 

[-Horizon-]

jiggly? meh

[dallow_bg]

Jiggly still gives me cart error!

 

[shanafan]

[sandrockgundam04]

I just randomly clicked the add to cart button and it worked. 1 for me, 1 for my brother. I'm sure he'll pop back up again.

 

[Sillution]

Woo, just got a jigglypuff preorder! Thanks for the alert guys!!! Just ordered 1 just to be safe incase they cancel if you ordered more then 1.

 

[rjinaz]

Weird it was a limit of one when I first checked out. But now there doesn't seem to be a limit.

 

[TheGrue]
