Well thank god they aren't selling something without having it in hand. If I did that on eBay I'd get shut down.
In stock.
Sold.
Kidding, not in stock!
Oh God, I have Falcon and Pit ready for pickup this week and can't get them until Wednesday. I hope they don't screw mine up

Careful if you do cancel. You can only order 3 of any given amiibo. Even if you cancel, the cancelled one/s count toward the 3 total.

Got 2 Cap. Falcons from Gamestop and the packaging is in good condition but the amiibo itself has a little chip or ding in the clear stand on both of them. They might be going back.

So did anyone else get screwed by Best Buy for Pit or Falcon? Do I have options at this point? Will they compensate me for their fuck up?
You could try ordering in-store at Gamestop, ask them if they still have any in the warehouse.

What happened? I have them on order and it won't let me cancel but they haven't shipped yet either.
Oh no, don't tell me they canceled on you?! Technically the release date for them is tomorrow so I'm not worried just yet they haven't shipped.

I got an email saying they were unavailable. I also got them in a buy two get one deal so I don't even know how the refund will work.

No kidding selling and charging up front. I cancelled my Falcon (he's shipping from Walmart) but am keeping Lucario since he'll likely be super rare.

Are these Best Buy cancellations in store pickups or ship to home. That makes a huge difference.

Has anyone pre-ordered from walmart? How are they with that. They have King Dedede and Ike available so I snached them up.
Yes, she's out there. Maybe hard to find in some areas, no so much in others. You can get her on Amazon right now.

Wth at the quote lol. You have that issue where your cursor gets all messed up? My computer does that because of my touch pad. Have to turn it off sometimes.

I preordered Pit from them. The shipping label was created on Friday, so I am just waiting for it to officially ship.
Luigi, Pit and Cpt. Falcon were the last three to be released.

How's the situation for Wave 3 for US folks?
Rosalina and Shulk are no where to be found for preorder at UK retailers, think King Dedede and Meta Knight is also mostly unavailable as well. God help me I've preordered all of Wave 3 cept Rosalina XD
Also hoping Wave 2 gets replenished soon, want Little Mac ;__;

Has anyone thought that the reason Sakurai doesn't have the complete Wave 3 set is perhaps they are being split up similar to Wave 2 A/B?
Depends on where you are and what store she went to. Best Buy doesn't sell them until tomorrow, whereas other stores like TRU already are in the US.
Edit: Also Pit and Cpt. Falcon are hard to get a hold of right now. They are considered rare, currently especially Pit. Selling for over $30 on ebay.
OK. Thank you.
He's only missing two though right? I would think they would split them in half, not just two in one batch. I agree though they probably will do that again.

Not sure if anyone is looking for King Dedede or Ike but you can find them at walmart.

Sounds about the same here. Shulk is a gamestop exclusive and sold out, Meta Knight is Best Buy exclusive and sold out, Rosalina is Target exclusive and you can't even pre order her except a couple of times for an hour or so she was available, and Dedede is still available from a couple places.

He said he got them from the B2G1 error, I wouldn't worry about it.

Makes sense, they do not have to honor a bug.
Although they did honor the bug that charged the highest game instead of the lowest one. I think it was because the type of bug.

TRU just sent me a email saying they won't ship my Cpt. Falcon till "2/1"?! Is that February 1st?! What the hell!?

Hopefully they'll get replenished stocks relatively quickly, kind of thinking that some Amiibos selling out so quick (preorder) is due to scalpers taking advantage on America's retail exclusive Amiibos.
Guessing that's correct tbh, damn scalpers =/

I plan to complete the collection, yes. Not going to bother with other Amiibo sets, however. It's just way too much to deal with.
TheSlySoul

Probably Smash and Mario Party collections for me.
You bet there is going to be an Animal Crossing series.
I'm just going for whoever looks cool
not trying for any complete collections
though god help me if they are insane enough to release all 151 original pokemon

Got a few days off. Maybe Pit will show up in the next 4 days....
Trying to get all the Smash characters. I doubt I'll try for any other complete amiibo collections though (I say that now...)
I'm going for the whole collection, might as well at this point, I got all of wave 1-3 pretty much paid for with the exception of a couple commons.
Apparently Captain Falcon is Wave 3 for Toys R Us now. Hopefully Best Buy comes through so I can cancel that order.
Not going to any complete collections. I'll just get the figurines I think look good. If they release a Zelda Wii U version of Link, then cool, I'd probably buy it.
