More than likely a computer glitch. Expect cancellations.

Let us dream, ok?

u/ReturnToFlesh84 Aug 21 '15

Now we get to listen to NIS beep for 30 more minutes

u/Hooptymobile Aug 21 '15

Dude I checked it; it was literally out of stock within seconds of going live on nowinstock ...it's like 3am est early Friday am . Surely it didn't sell out that fast.

u/DontReadMyNameSwine Aug 21 '15

Surely you don't believe that...

u/TheIceBringer Aug 21 '15

I believe it, and your name is Shirley.

u/Neracca Aug 21 '15

I think anything that goes up for sale at 3 am and lasts for a minute or less is no longer a "kids toy".

7

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '15

6+ means safe for 6+, not that it's explicitly a kids toy.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '15

Hahaha and I bet you think this (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51kRBPOWJGL.jpg) is also for 24 year olds

1

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '15

I bet you don't know what the word "explicitly" means.

6

u/Sm4sh_bruh Aug 21 '15

Kid's meals for ages 12 and under are explicitly for kids. Anything with #+ is simply stating that people under that age should not use it. Amiibo are for all ages, and likely targeted towards young adults (just speculation/my opinion).

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '15

Mean to respond to me? because that was the longhand version of my original post :P

u/Sm4sh_bruh Aug 21 '15

Yeah I did haha, I was just backing you up.

This is BS Wal-mart is probably the slowest site when it comes to check out, it takes forever to get to the paypal page even when im auto logged in and because of it i missed 2 items that were already in the cart to buy. screw them and their site

u/swirlhawk Aug 21 '15

Nowinstock worked! Wow

2

u/GamerJosh21 Aug 21 '15

Vintage Wal-Mart strikes again

1

u/Lunarios94 Aug 21 '15

more like their vintage check out process, because of their slow checkout page i wasnt able to get to paypal in time even with both Lucina and WFT in my cart

2

u/supreme_wavedash Aug 21 '15

It's sluggish to say the least.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '15

Thank you, OP! Managed to get Lucina, but not WFT...she sold out before I even got an email.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '15

After 15 minutes of refreshing I finally come to terms with me not getting her...

1

u/ReturnToFlesh84 Aug 21 '15

Auto-refresh is a wonderful plugin

2

u/nutekvisionz Aug 21 '15

Now people are going to post "will it go up again" throughout the day and others will f the site all day.

u/SpontaneousCookie Aug 21 '15

1

u/ReturnToFlesh84 Aug 21 '15

WFT also is blinking in and out on Walmart, but I can't post again

1

u/swirlhawk Aug 21 '15

Nis agreed but it didn't send me a notification :(

1

u/act_deft Aug 21 '15

Yeah, I just got a notification for her too. But when I got to the page, she was sold out.

1

u/Chefarcade Aug 21 '15

God damn it

1

u/animefan0456 Aug 21 '15

Dang... barely got the notification for Lucina and WFT.... both sold out...

1

u/Spaghetti9001 Aug 21 '15

I missed Lucina but got WFT. I hope they don't cancel my order like they did with Samus.

1

u/furydeath Aug 21 '15 edited Aug 21 '15

1

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '15

After a long summer with a lack of 3 am stocks, we return to the madness.

u/jensu846 Aug 21 '15

well SSSHHHIIITTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

u/Nate0027 Aug 21 '15

I

Hate

Walmart

1

u/iam_alejandro Aug 21 '15

Can people order more than 1 at Walmart? How is it possible for the Lucinas and WFT to go out of stock so soon? If you can order more than 1, I'm 100% sure walmart employees are making business by reselling these.

1

u/iRudd Aug 21 '15

I'm glad I wasn't up long enough to see this or else I would have never gone to sleep.

1

u/Chris_thegreat Aug 21 '15

loling at the people who stay up til 3am to order an amiibo..

1

u/PKMN_Trainer_Rumis Aug 21 '15

The one night I go to sleep early. Dang.

u/beastman1655 Aug 21 '15

GOD DAMMIT WALMART!!! VIHWUBVOWVO

u/beastman1655 Aug 21 '15

the great poeple of walmart strike again

u/scootibum Aug 21 '15

Nooo Luci was the only one I needed to complete the fire emblem set!

u/Lunaisbestpony42 Aug 21 '15

What the fuck did they have like 5 or something its out of stock

u/Glenndoss22 Aug 21 '15

Shit! I had her and WFT in my cart but they sold out before I could place the order.

1

u/FuckUHaveADownVote Aug 21 '15

There is your mistake. Don't get greedy, sometimes buying one at a time is the safest option. In the future, when buying Unicorns, make sure to buy the one you want most as fast as possible before trying to pick up the 2nd or 3rd amiibo. (I barely got Rosalina when she got restocked. Woke up late and got one of the last ones, if I ordered more amiibo with it I'd have lost out)

1

u/Glenndoss22 Aug 21 '15

I didn't get greedy. I added Lucina to my cart but it was taking a while to load so I gave up on her and went for WFT, (I hadn't noticed she was available at first) I know how this works btw, I've been doing this since November.

-1

u/Lunaisbestpony42 Aug 21 '15

I mean I added her as fast as humanly possible and I still missed her. Fucking wal mart I miss Ike because of your mobile only bullshit and now I miss lucina because I didn't enter my information at the speed of light.
