I picked up the last Charizard at my local Game yesterday, I would have got a Jiggly too but I had my boyfriend with me and I'm trying to convince him I'm not obsessed :p They also had one Rosalina restocked, apparently she was put on the stand half an hour before I got there and the staff had an ongoing bet on how long it would take for her to be bought- the guy who served me at the till tried to convince me to buy her since he had only betted on her being there for less than an hour- I checked online and they still have Rosalina so if she isn't bought by next Thursday I might buy her... And sell her on for profit to go towards buying a car :p jk... Smyths has her in stock for a lot less so I'll get her there, more profit! :p

Either way I might get Jiggly next week, I want to get all the Pokemon Amiibo and I just need Jiggly, Lucario (which I can't find anywhere), Greninja (also can't find) and Mewtwo when he releases.

On another note, I'm thinking of selling my unboxed, 2nd edition Marth but how much should I put him up for on eBay? If it's not much I'll just use the earnings to get Jigglypuff or if it is a fair bit Ill put it towards the aforementioned car. I don't really need him, since I'm only really collecting Pokemon and AC Amiibo seriously (I still need Villager!!!), as well as Mario main characters (bar Toad and Rosalina, unless someone got them for me), LoZ main characters (missing Zelda and Ganon, not getting Toon Link), Samus and Zero-suit Samus (who I need) and Splatoon, so he doesn't really fit in with my collection.
 
HOLY BANANAS I TOOK A LEVEL IN BADASS!! I finally managed to claim both Rosalina and Dedede as soon as the restock hit before 2-3 minutes passed. Afterwards, Dedede went out of stock and Rosalina was flickering.

Also, Dark Pit is still available on Wal-Mart Canada online as well. I ordered him and Toad along with the two aforementioned amiibo.
 
I have now preordered the following today at my local GAME store
2 packs of animal Crossing amiibo cards..hopefully will preorder more soon
Animal Crossing happy home designer with NFC reader bundle

Previously preordered. Super Mario maker ;-)

Congrats! I'm glad me clarifying the limit of one Amiibo rule for you enabled you to get several awesome Amiibo. ^.^
 
I went to GameStop at 8:30 am I quickly rush over to my GameStop and there was only like 3 people in front of me thank god I had a pro membership card to be able to reserve the amiibo cause its first come first serve. You had to have a basic pro membership to be able to reserve the amiibo.

I just hope nothing goes wrong with my reservation though,

Dang it! I woke up too late to grab that Retro pack online. And there's not a single retailer store within at least 200km of my area that currently stock any amiibo, let alone the Retro pack. Strangely enough, the Skylanders and Disney Infinity figures are still relatively effortless to acquire in my area.

Looks like I'll have fun waiting for at least 6 months before the inevitable restock comes in. I admit I'm still very impressed that I managed to snag over 20 amiibo so far, five of which would be next to impossible to find otherwise.
 
I am hoping that I have not made the biggest mistake OF MY LIFE this weekend.

I was having a really annoying issue about a day or so ago with my ShopTo.net account where the site was not letting me preorder the Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer + amiibo card + NFC Reader / Writer and forcing me to pre-pay my preorders when it did not ever do that to me before.

I thought to unlink my PayPal account from the site and relink it to see if that would fix the issue and it turns out that wiped all of my preordered items off my account and, while I have managed to preorder them again now, I don't know if I managed to get them in ShopTo.net's allocation. My previous preorders were in their allocation as they confirmed that to me.

I will find out on Monday whether or not I have lost my preorders or have reordered them back within allocation.
I really do hope that they are fine... I cannot do with just three confirmed Mr. Game & Watch amiibo... :(

"Inevitable restock." You're talking about amiibos, right? The things that never get restocked unless it's Mario?
 
I preordered the Retro 3 Pack today. Expected a lot more people though. There were only 6 other people beside me. The employees even tried to let the few of us that came early reserve 2 per customer instead of 1, but their computers didn't allow it.
 
The Retro 3-pack was stocked tremendously out here.
I went shopping after I pre-ordered it and hit 3 Gamestop's in total because they were all pretty close together.
First one had 40 available. Second one had 48. And finally, the one I went to had a whopping 60.

That might be true if you never order anything online or at your favorite store's counter. Also Link, Peach, Pikachu, Luigi, Bowser and SM Yoshi are fairly common as well. And they are among the most cross-compatible amiibo on the market. There's nothing wrong with that.

The irony being that, both Smash and Super Mario versions were last updated since April 15th 2015 and they were pretty well-stocked during the first few months of production. That's pretty a long while since this last happened, right? And we still see him often in stores, not only because he was so well-stocked before their launch date, but there isn't much people getting him as of late. Therefore, we won't be seeing more production of these amiibo for a long while. As the production of the more common amiibo is done and gradually disappear from the shelves over time, the newer and more obscure amiibo are finally being produced. Iwata even said at some point this year that none of the amiibo, barring the Gold and Silver Mario, are discontinued.

If you're regularly watching the CPSIA page, other characters are definitely getting restocked fairly regularly. And there's even a higher chance of that happening when there aren't many upcoming amiibo known during said month. Heck, I got both Rosalina and Dedede 6 months later from ordering them online as soon as they're restocked, even though they aren't necessarily found on the store shelves.
 
I got up at 6am today (had about 3 hours of sleep) and went to the GameStop 7:30AM only to find out our store had a whopping 107 preorders available. I could've came an hour or two later and probably gotten it, either I got R.O.B. and G&W so I'm practically done with the amiibo game. I just need to import a Japanese R.O.B. and I'll have most of the ones I want.
It was alright waiting out at GameStop though since I meet up with some friends.
