Amiibo!!

[mjmjr25]

was sick yesterday, so didn't get out. I went to Target today - the guy said when he left yesterday they were full up on little mac - when he came in today they were all gone. So...my apologies, but we are apparently cleaned out locally here as well. You can try wal-mart site-to-store maybe? They honored the price on Disney Infinity characters that are out of stock or high-demand. I got Captain America and Hulk for $9 each and they were shipped to my local store the day after my online order. Maybe can do the same w/the amiibos?

Walked into Fred Meyer last night, found Little Mac and Pit. Because no one buys games at Fred Meyer.

[FerretGamer]

Whoa, you found Pit? I think that's the first report I've seen of Pit being found in stores. He's supposed to be part of Wave 2-2 along with Luigi and Captain Falcon.

At first I thought we were supposed to know yr buddy Fred. Then I googled and realize it's a chain we don't know. These are the best places to buy toys.

I was looking for Magformers for my 4yo. They are insane everywhere - amazon, walmart, target, toysrus, etc. Come out to about $1.40 per piece for the sets - ie, 100pc set is $140.

While ordering up a heater for our chickens on Rural King - I see they are advertising Magformers. Ended up getting 2 sets, each over 100pces, for like $75/ea.

Looking now - most sets of those are sold out and others have since gone up, but still considerably cheaper than other retailers: http://search.ruralking.com/search?w=ma ... 20magnetic

So is Luigi out or not?

I've seen empty pegs for both him and Captain Falcon at Target, but some online stores still have them set for later this month.

Yeah really want Captain Falcon as my first Amiibo, so i can pretend im playing F-Zero with the new Mario Kart 8 DLC.

But personally i think this is BS with how hard it is to find some of these and they literally came out a couple weeks ago and are already *discontinued*.

I think the official release date is 12.17 or 12.18, but some stores have just been putting them out as they come in. So, officially I think "no", but there are clearly thousands of them already released / sold.

Yeah with the holidays coming up I honestly think it's low priority for them getting these on the shelf, at least that's the case at Target. All they really look at are how many are on the shelf and if they need to restock them, and there's a ton of Kirby/Mario/whatever still on the shelves.

I've come across shelves with no pegs for wave 2, no pegs but the tags laying there on the display, and pegs but no new figures. I have yet to see a wave 2 figure on the shelf and I've looked 3-4 times and at different stores. As illustrated a page or two ago, the only reason I have Little Mac is because the kid previously noticed a box of the new ones in the back so he went and looked. Those figures STILL aren't on the shelf two days later unless they were all bought up by one or two people.

According to the ad in this article they hit on 12/12.

I remember filling an online guest order for Little Mac and Diddy Kong at Toys R Us last Friday and the shelves seemed to be full at the time.

Then they have different release dates at different stores. According to gamestop website Pit, Luigi and Captain Falcon don't release until 12.31.14.
