Right? But he was never listed. They were going to let in-store people order first then open the online listing later but that's not even working right now. Rip gamestop
 
oh my god while i was wasting time on ebgames i nearly missed Pac Man on amazon uk. amazon uk is a blessing i think Ness was just on it too.
 
Ness got taken out of my cart at gamestop DX all I could walk out with is charizard. Gdi

It's ok... I only wanted to buy a second one as Pac-Man is a third party character and could be rarer.... No matter...

Went to Gamestop around 1:30 EST, waited til 3:00 for the orders to go up... Took an hour for my order to go through, but I managed to snag Ness. I don't care about the rest of Wave 4.

Also got confirmation that my Ike pre-order is still safe. I am pleased.
 
I was first in line at gamestop and it took an hour to get everything goin and I could've got two amiibo but dammit I was hungry as *** so I got Ness and some chicken wings sorry Lucina :(

Chicken wings > Lucina
 
I missed out on pre-orders for the bundle even though I was fourth in line. How?

The guy after me got to a computer/register that was processing things faster than mine, and within the seconds that mine was lagging behind, the bundle sold out.

I got Ness and Charizard but I missed out on the two I've been wanting the most.

This was a nationwide problem. We didn't even get the first order to go through until the 6-7 of us were standing in there waiting with trial and error through the site for 45 minutes. No one there got a bundle. No one got Lucina. Only the guy in front of me got a Robin. I managed to get Ness and the Splatoon amiibo set. Robin and Lucina seemed to be out first. I bet that's why the bundles failed---they can't really make a bundle if they run out of any of the characters in it.

All in all, I was standing in GameStop today for about 2 hours and 15 minutes. And it seems like everyone was in the same boat, from what I've heard after I got home.
 
Yeah, Robin, Lucina, Wario, and the bundles were all gone by like 4:15 EST. The GameStop employee who rang me up was pretty upset because he wanted the bundle for himself.

Also, if anyone's still looking to preorder, GameStop has issued a statement saying that they're only taking them in-stores now.

I know another GameStop called the one I was at because their system went down as well and they wanted to verify if it was a store-wide thing and not just a singularity.

Such a huge bummer. Lucina and Robin are the reason I wanted amiibo in the first place. I did grab myself a Ness and a Charizard. I was there, why not. I like those characters too.

I got the Splatoon bundle as well. That game looks great and the figures themselves look great too.

That explains why nothing happened when I tried going to the website. I tried it on the off chance (once it came back up), but nada. If I get lucky, I'll be able to buy the two I want from someone. Oh, well.

Yup, my local GameStop was getting texts from all over about other stores having the same issues. I'm a little surprised they didn't plan for this by having separate servers in USA regions or something to deal with the insane amount of traffic, but what's done is done, I guess. The GameStop employees did take our names and numbers and will call if the pre-ordering comes back.

Ness was the main that I wanted, but I'm glad I got the Splatoon ones, too. They look fantastic, from what I've seen.

Try to keep an eye out on other sites for pre-orders, too. Wave 4 (minus Ness) was up on Best Buy earlier today. They were sold pretty much within mere minutes (especially Robin and Lucina), but it's still a chance. The other stores have yet to put up the pre-orders, so we still could potentially land them. FE: Awakening was admittedly my first FE game, but hell if I don't love the heck out of Robin and Lucina. lol I'm going to be watching for pre-orders like a hawk the next few days.
