My delayed Ike that I ordered from Gamestop (I had a bad feeling and ordered a second from another store) is still...delayed :| If he doesn't show up, no worries though, since the other one shows no indication as of yet of any issues.

As for Meta Knight, well, he's still M.I.A. I don't know where that little bastard is, but I haven't gotten a dreaded, "We're sorry to inform you..." email from Best Buy or anything, yet, so hopefully I get some word on him soon *crosses fingers*
He is supposed to come out when the Kirby game does, so I think 20th

I ordered Toon Link and Bowser from Walmart which just arrived yesterday. Still waiting on the rest of Wave 3 to arrive from Newegg (Sheik, Ike, Dedede, Shulk, Sonic, Mega Man). Have they already been officially released and Newegg is just delayed, or are they releasing Wave 3 out in chunks? I hear nightmarish things about Neweggs amiibo shipment packaging, so I hope they come safe and sound :?

Your Shulk will be cancelled as it's a Gamestop exclusive. Did you purchase directly from Newegg or a marketplace seller?

Thanks BMF! You da you da best.

Yeah, I'm unaware of what's going, and how this craze has really sustained itself, when I thought it was just going to be a holiday thing.

Are we onto our next Beanie Baby fad? Mike, your thoughts?

Yup. If you pre-order in store at TRU, you get a free Kirby Amiibo.

I was mistaken when I wrote that, I don't actually have Shulk pre ordered through Newegg (or at all for that matter). I did order all of mine directly through Newegg, though. This is probably any easy answer for me to find, but can you still pre order any of the exclusives at any of the retailers in store?

No, they have long since closed pre orders.

As of about 4pm EST today GameStop had preorder in store only for Shulk. You can preorder him for an estimated ship date of May 1st, but you have to go to the store and ask.

A story to go along with this: After I completed my preorder, a guy behind me says he's there to pick up his preorder for Shulk. They find the Amiibo and ring him up, then he looks down at a piece of paper he has and says "I'm also looking for another one.......Shike?". The employee corrects him on the pronunciation of Sheik, then says they have one sitting behind the counter that was a cancelled preorder (they said the original person got Shulk/Sheik confused and ended up canceling). F'n reseller scores a Sheik when I'm standing right there in the store. If only they would've put it out on the shelf upon cancellation. Oh well.

Ah ha! You are correct, sir. I finally got an email today telling me just that.

Nabbed a Sheik today. Doesn't seem like she'll be super rare but cool figure. I think I'm done though save for preorders. People waiting in line like Black Friday equals no thanks for me
