But.. what if the human race are an alien race?
My skype name's the same as my GAF name. I'm never hard to find and it doesn't bother me when randoms want to say hi.

Welp I got struck with the infamous "John" scalper.
Guy actually looked me up to talk shit over Skype.
Looks up Amiibo gaffers so he can "justify" his scalping and then uses typical douche language of profanity and put downs. "Scalper John" sounds like the ultimate whiner.

I vote to keep egging him on. Trolling the trolls are the best.
I agree and lol'd
Poor guy obviously just needs our approval of him and his behavior. Which shows that he is conflicted in what he is doing, even if he won't admit it to himself.
okay so get this
I googled his skype "jesusraviolimachine" and the only result is this pastebin:
so I google "mariotehplumber" and I get this Youtube channel
With um
This video about amiibo scalping that consists of him basically calling everyone homophobic slurs and flipping the middle finger toward his shipping cases of amiibo
I am genuinely concerned
I'll keep looking. I haven't seen one in the wild in ages!
Yes but let's not let this troll get this topic locked. I'm here for information about amiibos, not a scalpers insecurities.
I'll keep this in mind tomorrow when I pick up Pit and Falcon, need Samus
It sounds like he needs a hug
Oh. 'm guessing he's a lurker who is looking everywhere he can to get pre-order information and such and found Gaf.
...I have a contact I need to block now 0.0
It's him, he even used the same word, "logics" in his rant

I cringed so hard watching that! Fedora wearer for sure
Well, despite getting the email that Captain Falcon and Pit were ready to pick up at Best Buy there were no Pits to be had. He said that there was a delay and they were expecting Pit next week some time. The guy was nice about it and gave me a $10 gift card for the troubles. Seems like this was the protocol at my store. Here's hoping the ship to home order from Best Buy I put in as a backup comes through. I have low hopes for that instore pickup order.

Lolololololololol. Yeah same here. I also wish online retailers would limit purchase quantities, like you know, Ebay does. That's how I was able to finally get Lucario pre ordered.
I don't think it's worth talking to him anymore. He's going to do his thing regardless. If he can't take the criticism, then that's his own problem.

Let's have fun and report the video. Doubt Youtube will do anything about it though....

Well no, I would say you can't complain, since that's cheaper than for what they go for in the US. What's your secret, or secret place?
Not sure of how much help this is to you amiibros but Amazon Germany has all but Little Mac and Rosalina amiibos currently in stock and available for order, including Marth, Pit, Villager and Wii Fit Trainer, or for pre-order in case of the wave 3 amiibos like Lucario and Ike.

€15 = ~$18 = ~£12 + shipping

Is this guy a real person and not some exaggerated troll character?
That's depressing.
Picked up Captain Falcon from BB today =]
Is it possible to have these shipped to the US? Do I need a different Amazon account? How would that work?

C. Falcon showed up from GameStop today and he is perfect. Glad I didn't have to pay some rediculous amount of money.
Works the other way around, yeah. Just log-in with your regular Amazon account, order process should look similar. When I ordered from the US, Amazon even took care of import taxes and all that.

If it's anything like Amazon.fr no...I ordered Rosalina off there and have a enough of a romance languages foundation (Spanish and a year of Latin) that I figured it out.
If you have Chrome get the Google Translate extension and it does a servicable translation. I guess the trick is just to make sure that you're buying from Amazon directly and not a reseller otherwise they won't ship internationally.
Awesome! And these work on a NTSC wii u fine? I'd be buying ones I want to actually use so this sounds great.
I feel the need to point out that for someone making so much money on Amiibo, his hand does look quite dirty.

Sad thing is I saw a ton of foxes when Toys R US was doing their pre-Christmas sale. Now I'm getting nervous about Samus but then again it's a terrible terrible paint job on most I've seen so I might just not sweat it and wait for Zero Suit Samus. Actually thinking of making it a point to get all the ladies...you know as positive female role models for my two year old daughter
I got them from Amazon Japan, they cost me around 1113 yen each which is about 9 usd each? Total was 3,344 Yen (28 USD) for all three but they don't ship to the UK so I got them sent to me by using a proxy service. Delivery was around 8 usd but it did take around 2 weeks.
As far as I know a few Americans here ordered EU amiibos and I haven't heard of any issues with them. They're communicating via NFC with the gamepad/handheld which is a worldwide standard after all.
