I'm just concerned with trying to get Charizard somewhere once it's released. I need it for my main/dragon collection.

I don't think you should fear toooooo much.
Charizard I think will be common since he's like one of the most well regarded and notorious Pokemon of all time(even though blastoise is better)
 
Oh and i forgot to mention that i use them in the games, i do have a nice glass display for them but they mostly sit next to me on my couch so i can use them easier!

Well if you check the production certificates you should be going to fear for it because Charizard only got one month of production just like all other amiibo of that wave...

Agreed. I'd say I like each of the Kanto starters about the same, but Blastoise is the most nostalgic for me.

But that's good. Thank you for the info!
 
So there's a faulty email from Gamestop going around saying that there was an error in processing your payment method or something along the lines of that. What really happened is since GS's servers were trash at the time, everyone got 2 orders, but only payed for the 1 real order. So we might get more preorders announced soon.

And you can't pay for and keep the second order, it's still 1 per person.

Lol i am so happy that i do not live in the US. We do not have people camping for their amiibo, just take a trip around 3 toy stores around release and presto! All the amiibo you need! (Unless a scalper came before you of course... yes they exist here too.... WHAHAHAHAH I'm one of them!





No... Just no i could not even afford more than one amiibo and my mum would kill me if i bought extras for whatever reason. Even if the second one was free xD
 
So what's the release date of Wave 4 for Australia? Some say April 29, some say May 31 :/
 
Oh, when I went amiibo shopping, I almost bought a Toad amiibo. Because Hide and Seek Toad pixel in Treasure Tracker.

Still, I want my first bought amiibo to be the villager.
 
Game.co.UK will have preorders for Splatoon amiibo and Wave 4 amiibo at around 3am according to their twitter! Get ready to F5

EB Games Australia also has all of Wave 5 preorders left in stock but can be ordered online now so they'll sell out quicker than when they were only Pick Up!

If you don't want to pay $60+, then you're screwed, if there is a restock, scalpers :(
 
Also, can someone give me a list of non-USA based stores that sell amiboo and will ship internationally?

Or in the case of Japanese stores, ones that will at least take foreign credit cards?


ones I'm aware of so far:
Amazon UK (I think)
Amazon Japan (won't ship internationally, but will take foreign credit cards for payment)
Play-Asia (though a tad expensive, even by import standards)
AmiAmi
CDJapan (even though they basically have nothing currently)

You can also use Tenso. They order from any japanese store for you, then it gets shipped to them. After that, Tenso ships it to you. Don't know if there's something like this for other countries.

....

That's exactly why I said I only need it to accept foreign credit cards for Japan-based stores. I'd just use my Tenso address in that case.

Sometimes with the fees it still ends up being cheaper, sometimes

I probably should start keeping an eye on that, but from my experience I'd estimate it'd be like $40-50 per amiibo with all the other fees. Which is kinda ridiculous, and at that point I'd probably just ebay it.

I am a member of ShopTo.net, I was initially unsure about them because of the reviews, but I decided to order my first game there which was.... *looks at ShopTo.net history* Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Special Edition at ?29.86.

I got it the day before release date and the price was very reasonable. I then went on to preorder the following items.

New Super Mario Bros U
New Super Luigi U
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Inc The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Exclusive Keyring
Sonic Lost World Deadly Six Edition with Sonic Lost World Black Bombs & Rare Omochao RC Gadget DLC
Super Mario 3D World
Scribblenauts Unlimited Wii U
Scribblenauts Unlimited 3DS
Mario Party Island Tour
Nintendo 2DS Carrying Case Blue
NEW Nintendo 3DS Charging Cradle (white) (This was my only issue that I have EVER had on ShopTo.net as for some reason, they sent my a NEW Nintendo 3DS XL Charging Cradle (black) instead)
amiibo Smash Mega Man Character
amiibo Smash Sonic Character
amiibo Super Mario Collection Toad
amiibo Super Mario Collection Bowser
amiibo Super Mario Collection Yoshi
amiibo Super Mario Collection Peach

I have only had one issue as shown above out of 16 orders.

Thanks for the response, that makes me feel a bit more confident about it. =) I have awhile to decide if I wanna keep these preorders too, I suppose. Right now I'm feeling like the risk is worth it for Ganon and ZSS!!

also I can tell Jigglypuff preorders went up again because now there's like 70 ebay listings for him as opposed to the 10 or 20 there was before.
