Seems like the Peaches break easily? Mine arrived like that from TRU. I went to the store and exchanged it for a regular one (they aren't actually selling on eBay) and they comped it for no reason, which was pretty awesome.

This is a sign that Nintendo is retiring Peach for the superior Rosalina.

Has any BB pit people had theirs come in yet? I was told to expect a call today but nothing
Click to expand...
No my Amiibro or Amiigal. I went yesterday and was told it was still coming. My concern is if it comes in 7 days after my "pickup" date it may get cancelled by the system. Also the CS rep told me that since the pickup emails went out automatically the night before the street day release when it really comes in there will not be another system notification. She assured me she would call. I shop there a lot and they recognize my name so the CS wouldn't hose me but I am concerned by the stockers and other potential customers that may ask to have them look for them. I have all Wave 3 through them in store pick up minus exclusives and it sucks.

They'd need to get permission from The Pokemon Company and other entities to use Pikachu's likeness in other games. Either they don't want to bother going through the hassle to have him used, or TPC is against Pikachu crossing over in other Nintendo games, Smash aside.

Smash Bros is like the only Nintendo crossover product that Pokemon has a role in, to my knowledge anyways.

Pokemon Company was created by Nintendo. The property is owned by Nintendo. TPC manages all the licensing of the characters.

I saw ONE Pit amiibo at my local Best Buy on Tuesday in Mayfield Heights, OH. It was pretty cool since I'd never seen one before in person but I didn't buy it since there was excess paint on its feet. :/ I'm sure some lucky person bought it though.

AHHHHHHHHH! my targets say In Stock for rosalina! when I click find in store! D:

Ok you can't click the button from the main rosalina page. I added her to wishlist and the button is available there. When I check it says in stock for all stores!

If I saw one like that I'd probably buy it and then clean up the excess paint with retouching.

The pokemon ownership situation is so weird. TPC is owned by Nintendo, gamefreak, and creatures, right? but Nintendo are majority shareholders in the other two, or something like that? my attempts at googling didn't produce anything definite. Pokemon's brand management is clearly independent enough for the tcg to go to ipad and pc, and gamefreak makes one or two random cell phone games every so often.

I'm sure pikachu will have some cross-game feature eventually.

When I bought Mac and Diddy from Target they showed up on the receipt as "amiibo WII FIT" and "amiibo VILLAGER" so that would explain that, probably

But, it's not functional atm.

When I tried to look in the cart, there was nothing.
Click to expand...

Yeah I just noticed it changed from Pre-order now to Add to Cart/Express Checkout at midnight CST I've been watching the page all day.

Oddly it shows add to cart on my pc but preorder now on my phone and unavailable... but it shows available for shipping on pc and add to cart both at m.target.com...

Ok it says something different on phone for m.target.com than it does on my pc. The APP shows no button and the webpage has greyed out buttons...

Hopefully nothing crazy happens tonight to skyrocket posts. Regardless I have the next thread done so if we cut in close to 20k it's alright. Threads can go over a bit. Will be putting it up as soon as I wake up.

I checked the browser console output after clicking Express Checkout and the server actually returns a 400 Bad Request error.

Great to see the sharing love in here, I already have a Rosalina pre-order for another Gaffer. If she goes live, if anyone can get multiples, help someone else out. :D

The "Add to cart" button on the mobile site changed to "Pre-order" now, but still won't let you pre-order.
Click to expand...

It actually had been preorder now for a good while but wouldnt let you add it to your cart. When it changed to add to cart/express checkout i got excited.
It even had the radio button for ship to home checked green :( its still spinning from when i hit checkout earlier though...
