Managed to preorder one of my dream Amiibos at 2am: Zero Suit Samus! Game tweeted that they were gonna have preorders up at 3am. I refreshed the page at like 1:45, and saw that the preorder buttons were there. I must have literally refreshed the page as soon as they put them up. I gasped and just grabbed my purse and managed to buy her, LITERALLY at the right time, because 2 minutes later, the site crashed! Honestly... These amiibo hunts are going insane. We're crashing entire websites now. My friends and I are in a Skype group chat, and I told them as soon as I found out but they didn't believe me at first... So when they checked, the site was just about to crash. xD
But yeah, I'm so happy. Now my last Amiibo goal is the pink Yarn Yoshi! <3
I'm so happy though now that sites are starting to restrict them as 1 per customer and only shipping to the country it's sold in (like Game and the Nintendo store). It makes it easier to get ahold of Amiibos. I have to say though, I feel sorry for those of you in America, what with the exclusivity bull****. Honestly, that's not even fair, but hey, it's just a way for those stores to make quick money, because Amiibos are high in demand, and people will go to extreme lengths to get them. I mean, people are crashing sites, buying extra Amiibo to sell at a higher price, they're selling out in a matter of minutes... Honestly.
I can't say though that it's Nintendo's fault that they aren't matching the supply to the demand. Of course they have to ensure there is more demand than supply. The fact they are becoming "rare" is why they are selling so well. It's the scalpers who are also at fault. It's greediness. It's people being greedy just to make more money, and that stops people who also want to buy Amiibos from getting them, because someone else (aka: MarioTehPlumber) has already bought them all. That's greediness. :\
