Just because people in different regions have different issues doesn't mean we can't all vent our frustrations with it and chide/berate Nintendo for their supply/demand failure, among other things.

Yes but you can also stop taking everything for granted and actually appreciate what you have :-}

That's like telling you to appreciate your Pikachus.

If it's not what we're hoping for/want, why do we have to settle to appreciate what we have? Most of us have to import amiibo from other countries to get things that have little to no stock here.
 
I appreciate that GSC had the common sense to announce a new batch of preorders for their Sakura Miku: Bloomed in Japan nendoroid for the following day after the first batch sold out in an hour. That they then just kept up until the normal preorder period closing time. With a notice that orders would be shipped in batches sometime after the first shipment of orders placed yesterday, based on when the order was placed.

Ok no thank u don't feel like talking to a brick wall
Peace
:-}
 
By the way, guys, who had luck in GameStop with Robin or Lucina yesterday? I'm just curious. I was there for nearly two and a half hours, near the front of a very short line, and only the guy in front of me managed to get a Robin. That was after an hour of us all standing around trying to get the first few orders for singles in, too.

I'm just honestly puzzled as to how they literally sold out so quickly when apparently all GameStops were having the same site problems of not getting through.
 
just imagine if this was the late 90s-early 00's

just imagine all the uses those Pikachus could have

"scan your pikachu in pokemon snap for a special course"
"scan your pikachu in hey you pikachu for an exclusive item/event"
"scan your pikachu in pokemon stadium for an exclusive pikachu with unobtainable moves"
"scan your pikachu in pokemon puzzle league for an exclusive stage"
"scan your pikachu in pokemon yellow for an exclusive story event inspired by the hit anime"
"scan your pikachu in pokemon trading card game to obtan an exclusive pikachu card"
"scan your pikachu in pokemon pinball for a bonus stage"
"scan your pikachu in pokemon stadium 2 for another pikachu with unobtainable moves"

etc etc

I imagine the problems were not all at once, so some got luckier than others. and the rest is just chalked up to Nintendo being great

pikachus are an item meant to look like a pikachu while not being pikachu so it can't be a bunch of pikachu if there's more than one but a bunch of pikachus because it is the false pikachu
 
I went to 2 Gamestops yesterday looking to buy a Wii U (Yeah, I'm slow to the party here) and there were lines of people looking like they were going to cry because pre-orders were sold out, LOL. It was pretty amusing because.....did they seriously expect to get anything at 6pm?

Sometimes people don't have all the time in the world to get to places early due to work or other important duties, Maybe that's why?

I think you'd be pretty worked up that you couldn't get something you really wanted on time.
...Especially Amiibo's, all the "good" ones are coming out now so people are going to hog these things as much as they can.

amiibos are a war zone

only the strong survive, and only the vigilant and lucky of those strong succeed
 
All I want is a Lucas and Dark pit amiibo. I hope none of these will be too rare.

Then they shouldn't be complaining about why they can't get an amiibo if they're not putting the time and effort to get it, lol. ESPECIALLY because all these "hard core collectors" should already expect nintendo not having enough stock.

Ahhh, that seems sadly very unlikely. Considering Lucas is DLC and Ness already broke GameStop servers yesterday, I wouldn't count on it. DLC characters are probably going to end up as exclusives, if I had to guess.

And Dark Pit is the only amiibo releasing in July along with Palutena. I think that almost guarantees that they're going to be extremely rare and hard to get, because everyone is going to be vying for only them. (Unless they add more amiibos to that line up before then. I'm almost terrified that they're going to add the DLCs into that, since the wave/group is currently so small.)

Nope, both will be incredibly hard to get, Dark Pit because edginess and Lucas because there's no western merc of Mother 3 as I'm aware of.

I know what you mean, but I wouldn't want to go ditch work for the day for Amiibo's, I've just been incredibly lucky at times to grab rare/rare-ish one's whenever possible, heck, I managed to get Sonic & Megaman for base price only a day before the wave was released in Europe, Lucario, Pit, Ike and Captain Falcon I managed to get on their release dates aswell and that wasn't as early as possible either (Didn't pre-order any of them)

But we really should be blaming Nintendo for making some of these impossible to get unless you've got all the spare time in the world.
