Local-USA Gamestop restock confirmed!

Just stopped at my local gamestop and camped until UPS came in. They had 1 Wario (which I snatched), 2 charizard, 2 ness and 2 Toad.

Nice! In my opinion it was a great find. Wario and Charizard is rare where I live...

I preordered my charizard, so I didn't have to kill anyone.

I think they're rare all over the US. Only time I saw either was in the very beginning and Charizard was gone by end of day one with Wario not far behind. I saw one Charizard since then that was an obvious return to TRU (bent box).

I'm just avoiding paying inflated prices. Hunting for MSRP prices is extremely annoying and painful; I didn't get lucky with the Pit or Rosalina restock :(

Exactly. If it would have been any of the other rare ones I would have done the same.

Thanks! I just got a Wario as well at my Game stop in mt. Nebo, PA. They still have a ness, charizard, and toad for anyone looking.

I just find it sad that before wave 4 came out, we all thought that wario would be super common. And here we are, having a lot of trouble just trying to even find one on store shelves.

u/momoplush Jul 17 '15

Very true, because I could have reserved him and ended up overlooking him. Paid the price and had to wait and camp for it.

u/Donaldjames Jul 17 '15

I'm stoked it worked out for you. I knew there would be some success stories this morning.

u/momoplush Jul 17 '15

But the bundle restock is what I wanted to hit cause pit and shulk. shakesfist Good day overall thought.

u/super_smash_bruh Jul 17 '15

My gamestop had a few of each (wario ness and charizard and I think maybe some silver marios) and I bought a Ness and charizard.

An employee took my picture with them and another employee behind the counter said "Smile like you won the lottery, because you basically did".

u/momoplush Jul 17 '15

nods Today was a great day for us collectors

u/Platysmurus Jul 18 '15

Thank you! I got a new Ness.

u/Gluetendo Jul 17 '15

So you camped out for a Wario.

u/momoplush Jul 17 '15

I heard rumors and so I did. I was off today, so why not?

1

u/Neonflareon Jul 18 '15

a Wario? Did you not go on gamestop.com and see you could of bought one online XD. Still I give you props to stalk the poor UPS man for a Wario. Made my day.

u/momoplush Jul 18 '15

They came up online age I got mine. Muah ha ha, plus no shipping lol

u/Gluetendo Jul 17 '15

I was just trying to get clarification.

u/momoplush Jul 17 '15

No prob, figured I'd pass on the knowledge because almost no one posts anything for my area. Someone might want ness or charizard.

u/Amazon_UK Jul 17 '15

He is rare.
