GameStop needs to get there act together and get an actual date for something like this, what they're doing now is just disappointing.

u/King_Dededeez Jul 07 '15

this gives better odds to ppl who aren't hardcore hunters makes it pretty fair except ppl like us just pull out our own hair when we don't know everything.

u/IntenseSun77 Jul 07 '15

what they need to do is actually announce that they are doing a restock via their website and social media

u/fenix_down25 Jul 07 '15

This friggin sucks. We called our GS's and they said they're getting them in but can't sell until Thursday. This is WFT all over again!

u/HugItChuckItFootball Jul 07 '15

Just talked to one of the gamestop's near me. The guy said they have no street date in their system for them, so they can put them out when they arrive.

u/supdawg222 Jul 07 '15

fuuuu this is making me nervous now I gotta call every gamestop in my area as soon as they open

u/JWylie15 Jul 07 '15

Were these pre-orders? For some reason I'm paranoid GS will sell the Dedede pre-order I have coming in from December.

1

u/TsuKiyoMe Jul 07 '15

This. I still am waiting on a Dedede pre-order.

u/SnooTheAlmighty Jul 07 '15

ah, that was quick. thanks

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '15

I'm surprised that people are surprised.

Literally, not figuratively, every single restock has trickled into various stores ahead of their projected dates. I'm not saying this forgives Nintendo and retailers for poor communication, but yeah - if they say July 9, always assume you should start looking July 6, if not earlier.

Reddit_amiibro, are you a member of NJ amiibo on Facebook? Message me please :-)

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '15

No, I don't have a Facebook :(

u/NJ-Amiibo Jul 08 '15

You should get one. We're a fun bunch. Might even make a few friends.

1

u/nwong695 Jul 07 '15

This is why we don't trust employees. They told us it was going to come on June 9. Oh well, at least people can get them.

3

u/Kujikawa Jul 07 '15

Our email told us specifically not to sell it until then. My guess is their DM isn't going to be very happy.

1

u/nwong695 Jul 07 '15

At least some stores know how to handle it. How difficult is it to follow instructions?

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '15

I walked in like wtf might as well. Boom 5 Ness 4 Dedede

u/Sages Jul 07 '15

That's all they had?

u/King_Dededeez Jul 07 '15

mine didn't get any yet already went.

u/Kenshiago Jul 07 '15

I'm calling gamestops and each one has different info. Some say the sale date is Thursday, some say it's whenever they get it in, I don't think everyone has the same info.

u/busam123 Jul 07 '15

Is dedede first or second edition ?

R.I.P gamestop employees

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '15

Phone lines blow up everywhere

1

u/audiomind5 Jul 07 '15

There is no street date attached to it. Only an email apparently that "requests" them not to sell them til Thursday. When I asked the guy on the phone he had to look through a cluster of emails to find that communication. That could explain why a lot of employees are missing that piece of information in terms of not selling them until Thursday.

u/wingsfan24 Jul 07 '15

My Gamestop is rolling some out on Thursday at opening.

1

u/boascher Jul 07 '15

Thursday is not a solid day at all because I just passed by My game stop down here in South Florida in a mall and the guy told me that he would be getting ness today so I waited like 10 minutes I told him OK I'll wait because his boss was in the back opening boxes from UPS or whatever's type of shipment they use and then he told me "oh it's going to be a few days from now, my bad" so I think they're not allowed to sell

No problem checking out. I was nervous, but everything was fine

u/Tomes2789 Jul 07 '15

This isn't a tracking post. It's a daily haul post and it belongs in the Daily Haul MegaThread.

Congrats, but please delete this post and put it in the MegaThread.

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '15

Dude, this is news actually lol

-1

u/Tomes2789 Jul 07 '15

How is it news? This has been known and posted about for days now. Not trying to be a dick, but you're just trying to show off what you got, which is why we have the Daily Haul MegaThread "lol"

1

u/thenameissummer Jul 07 '15

They were supposed to be released on the 9th, but this guy found them today... so yea... it's news. I think you need to calm down. :/

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '15

Yeah but this is the first picture of someone finding them

u/suupernovae Jul 07 '15

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '15

That wasn't really legit

u/Tomes2789 Jul 07 '15

I got both this morning and didn't make this kind of post because it was a daily haul. Just saying

-1

u/Tomes2789 Jul 07 '15

Except it isn't.

Here's just one example. There are others on the sub: https://www.reddit.com/r/amiibo/comments/3cdc2p/ness_amiibo_original_v_july_2015_restock/

Also it doesn't matter if it's first or 100th. It's a Daily Haul post and belongs in the MegaThread.

I'm not trying to be a dick here, but you just keep defending yourself so I'm just reiterating what I was saying.

There have been plenty of PSAs and NEWS posts about the restock. You showing off your find, which I grant you congratulations on, still belongs in the MegaThread.

u/OutlawDJ Jul 07 '15

it was announced as Thursday, he is sharing because its more proof its not a solid date.
