There was very little DeDeDe when he came out, they never talked about a restock ever and I think a lot of what came out at Game Stop was a little restock but mostly to fulfill some pre-orders from the original release. I have no idea why he is soooo poorly stocked and no one seems to complain loud enough. I always see complaints about the lack of FE characters.

I've heard nothing of an Ike restock, Maybe the nintendo store in NY got some but none of the retail stores that i've seen.

I managed to order a Shulk. Once that and the Pac-man I'm still waiting on come in, I'll have all of the currently released Smash Bros. amiibos. I'll just need to pick up the upcoming ones as they come out I guess!

cool, you guys actually get preorders over there, I think if people in the US didn't import you guys over there would have an easier time. I've imported ganondorf, zzs, dark pit, palutena, Dr Mario, and bowser jr all from amazon.it

Is amazon.it all that much cheaper even with the overseas shipping? I know the US seller wouldn't even see it but I'd be happier spite paying $20 or something from there and just waiting as to not grease the palm of a local crook.

All my stuff from Target arrived yesterday. And all in nice, hard cardboard, so nothing got squashed. I am very pleased.

I could have sworn I read something about a summer restock for him, along with a few others. Oh well. I can't complain since I was lucky enough to be able to order him early. The 'impossible to pre-order frenzy' didn't seem to kick into high gear until after Wave 3.

Kind of surprised no one mentioned this, but Gamestop today all over the country at stores got in a small amount of Charizard, Wario, and a few more(compared but still limited) of Toad.

My local one got 1 charizard, 1 wario, and 2 toad. I read some places got more Ness too. I got them to hold the charizard when I found out this afternoon and drove over to get it and compared to the others it's huge.

Target smashed my Rosalina and Jigglypuff amiibo boxes together. It was the plastic part, not the cardboard so I popped it out, but you can tell they were extremely dented.

Went to a gamestop today and I found a Wario and Ness, so that was neat.

My area is flooded with Toad now, everyone has like ten.

Nice that they were willing to hold them for you. It's actually against GS policy to hold Amiibos. :roll:

I know if you buy about 3 or more than its about $18-$19 per amiibo. also how much to you care about packaging? my palutena arrived in nice condition because she shipped by herself but ganondorf cardboard was bent up in shipping cause he was shoved in with dark pit and zzs
