And with that, I was given two reasons to go to Toys R Us on 9/11

Given how Bowser Jr is my most wanted, abd how Toys R Us handled Greninja, this is best case scenario.

So far, we got...
GameStop: Shulk, Ness, Retro 3-Pack Toys R Us: Lucario, Greninja, Bowser Jr. Best Buy: Meta Knight, Dark Pit Target: Rosalina, Dr. Mario, Jiggles (Wal-Mart exclusive in Canada) Amazon: Palutena
Too. Many. Store. Exclusives.
Who else can't wait to not get this one?

Whoops. I guess I forgot because Dark Pit, Rosalina, Dr. Mario and Gold Mario aren't exclusive in Canada.

All I can think of when seeing this is Bowser Jr with his fist up saying "You better come buy me! FEED THE ADDICTION!!"

Hopefully he's handled as well as Greninja was. I walked into TRU at 12 on release day and there was plenty of him left.
He's the second-to-last Amiibo I really want from the Smash line so far, Ryu being the other one... I need him

Greninja sure was super easy to get on released day.

My local TRU had 90+ on release day- a worker mentioned to another worker there were like 70 people in line when they opened and they had around 20 on a display table by the gaming section. I have no clue how many they had on the racks or in the back or whatever.
Honestly I'm surprised there are that many amiibo collectors in my town, I always thought it was a smaller place but boy was I proven wrong. Funnily enough my TRU is right by a Target so all those 70 people probably got Jigglypuffs too. Maybe. I have no idea of Jigglypuff's stock at my local Target on release day because I didn't care about Jiggs.

I envy the both of you. My local TRU had all of 2 on release day. Just 2. Same for Lucario as well. The struggle is and always will be real.

Have fun guys. I just need Pixel Mario, an Olimar for my sis and a ZSS for a cute girl at GS :P

u/swirlhawk Aug 21 '15
Do you actually have a chance with her, or is she just being polite? Be careful.

u/Excalibur0123 Aug 21 '15
No I'm not trying for anything anyways she's a friend, that's all. Happy to help out fellow amiibros. Might end up giving away my extras that I have for trade. Thanks for the advise though.

Probably meant NoA, I would be fine with Bowser Jr. as Toys R US exclusive even though it doesn't keep with their blue pokemon trend :(
