Well I just cancelled my Amazon preorder and ordered through ShopTo. I didn't even get offered anything by Amazon for failing to deliver. Paid for next day delivery from ShopTo so I'm hoping it comes for Saturday!

Don't want to worry you, but next day delivery often only applies to weekdays. If it's DPD I think you can pay extra for a Saturday delivery once it's in their hands. My order should be arriving tomorrow, just checked and I have the option of changing it to a Saturday delivery for a premium of £5.
Well damn. I thought as much. So you have the option on the shopto site or on the DPD site or something? I need to play smash this weekend!

I wonder where the blame lays here. Did Amazon knowingly take pre-orders it couldn't fulfil or did Nintendo lie about how much they could supply?
It's not just Amazon, is it?
Nintendo Europe have clearly let suppliers down with allocations.
Maybe moving the release date forward 1 week played a part?It's not just Amazon, is it?

Mine arrived today from The Game Collection. Only £30 when purchased with 'Kylie Sing & Dance'.
I think the most alarming thing is how late this information came out. ShopTo informed me late on Wednesday, but this Amazon news seems to have come out late Thursday, hardly ideal for a Friday release.
I've just had my email... December 19th and no voucher. Wow.
The 19th?!?
Holy shit. I would personally go out and buy a game and adapter separately later today whilst you still can.
I wouldn't count on getting the amazon order at all, honestly.
Amazon.co.uk shipped my SmashBros, ORAS, and Pikachu and Samus Amiibos; but not the Kirby Amiibo. Guess they ran out of Kirbys.
So I just noticed someone say they had issues with ShopTo. That just appears to be for the controller and not the adaptor though, right?

Here's the email updates from ShopTo in full:
Gamecube Controller Adapter
So that's just the adaptor and not the bundle? Game also said they didn't receive any stock when I was in there of the standalone. What a mess.
I get my Amiibo today though. Great...
Yeah, no mention of the controller or bundle unless there's separate emails for them.
I'd guess the late stock shipment is also the reason ShopTo are saying "Next Working Day" for the Adapters, as they still need to sort through the shipment as opposed to Amiibo's which basically just weren't picked up.

Well, I got this on Wednesday:
GAME Edinburgh have the standard edition in stock for £50 (lol.) No Amiibo on the shop floor at all, likely pre-orders only or none in stock.
Argos has 9 standard in stock for £42.99. GAME are thieving buggers.
