I got the shulk text and went to see if they had them yet. They didn't have them but they were in route and expected them in the afternoon on Wednesday.

My store has nothing and does not know when it will come in. I paid off 2 of my 3 Shulks. The clerck sait "oh shit!" When he saw I had 3

Be sure to let me know if your pre-orders don't go through for whatever reason. I grabbed an extra Shulk yesterday in case you happen to need one for yourself since your helping me with a couple exclusives. If you do end up needing it we can just do an exchange for one of the Amiibo's your getting for me.

If you don't end up needing it, I know someone who will take it off my hands.

Here's my current Amiibo status:

WAVE 1 - Complete!

WAVE 2 - Have all except:
-Little Mac -- on back-order from Entertainment Earth

WAVE 3 - Have all except:
-Sheik -- just got an email saying it will ship soon from Amazon
-King Dedede -- pre-ordered on Entertainment Earth
-Ike, Sonic, Mega Man -- have a pre-order card from TRU, last I heard they'll be in on 2/13
-Shulk, Meta Knight -- have Japanese versions on pre-order from Big Bad Toy Store

Waiting on Wave 4 pre-orders. Pre-ordered Toad from Amazon (not interested in the other SM line amiibo).

Regarding the Gold and Silver Mario amiibos, it occurs to me that there sort of is a precedent for their existence in the form of Gold Mario (NSMB2) and Metal Mario (64, SSB)

Thanks, hopefully I won't need it.

I just got a text message to pick up my Shulk Amiibo from Gamestop on Wednesday. I called the store about it and they said that it is supposed to be there but to double check with them ahead of time. Just giving everyone a heads up

You sure it was Shulk? Got a text from them about Sheik

Called my store.

Toon Link and Shiek are in the same box, so yay to finally getting those.

Shulk is likely thursday.

I didn't preorder Sheik I have one already. I only preordered Shulk

Well perhaps my store will too. I see Toon Link and Shiek are labeled ships in 24 hours on gamestop.com

The one I'm worried about is Meta Knight, My GAME back up is gone and I'm a little weary about Best Buy, and that my order has 3. I did do it the first day, so I probably wont get shafted by lack of stock.

If any one has a chance to grab an extra the 20th, please  ;D


I also got my WalMArt order in with 3a, another store shipping Amiibos in the Nintendo manufacturer box.
I'm starting to feel like a scalper with all these spares.   :P

My Toon Link and Sheik arrived from Amazon yesterday (got to pick them up today)
Completes my planned Amiibos for a while at 4 (Link, Zelda, Toon Link and Sheik :D)

Stashing away $ for the inevitable Zelda WiiU line that'll come out and/or Hyrule Warriors line.

If anyone needs a US Rosalina, I might have an extra (waiting to hear if a co-worker still needs it)

Yeah.
I doubt there will be a Hyrule Warriors line (As much as I want one)
The game already supports the SSB line, and I see no way to incorporate Amiibos enough to make one.

Zelda U will probably use the smash ones, it's hard to say. For functionality, all Links will be the same, like with Mario.

Data can only be held from one game though. If you want a Link with SSB data, you'll have to buy a 2nd Link for Zelda U (if there is a use to hold data) <--then Nintendo will probably make a Zelda line. If amiibos will be used to unlock stuff like in HW & MK8, then I agree that they'll stick with the Smash ones.

If you still have the Rosalina please PM me. I'm interested.  ;)

I'm really hoping for a ZeldaU line... and an Animal Crossing Line.

Does anyone know of an action figure clamshell that would fit the in box Amiibos to protect them? I've been searching but I can't find any. Hopefully someone can make one soon

just a heads up for people, bestbuy.Com has peach, Yoshi, and donkey kong for $9.99.  If you have the gamers club unlocked membership it brings it down to 7.99 each.  It's a shame it's only those 3 but still, a few bucks saved is a few bucks extra towards something else lol
