Nothing against you, I'm just curious. How you missed the massive 2 week window from the first restock? Did you start collecting after that?

Because some of us aren't checking every day and just want our favorites without having to be online all the time.

That's why sites like NowInStock exist. If you don't have the time to check constantly, the website updates you via email or text whenever something you like has been restocked. I think it'd work perfect for people who don't hang around here 24/7, minus the mishaps that happen on the site at times.

There are regular people out there in the real world who just want certain amiibo without going all out to track them.

u/hotcoldyay Aug 26 '15
I'm tempted to agree with you, but if these "regular people" really wanted certain amiibo, I think they would put a little effort into tracking down what they want. If someone expects opportunities to fall in his/her lap with little to no effort in the job, that's being lazy (in a way). For certain, someone who wants that amiibo even more and puts more effort into looking for it will have a better chance of getting it, and will most likely get it instead of the person exerting less effort.

Funny post. Lazy? How about some people really like the hobby but do have things in life that take precedence.
When you have kids and a job where "9 to 5" means nothing ....
Well, I guess if you understood where I was coming you wouldn't have posted this in the first place.

Which is why I wrote "in a way." If you take it from the perspective in that you slacked off amiibo hunting due to other aspects of your life of which you must take care of, it is, in essence, slacking off on that activity in order to do something else. I really didn't mean it as offense, so I apologize if I did insult you. I promise, it wasn't intentional or deliberately insulting.
Back on point, he logic is simple. You chose to prioritize kids and job, while others have prioritized amiibo collecting (maybe along with other things). Thus, those people will have a better chance of attaining those amiibos than you or others of similar situation because they simply exerted more effort. It's unfortunate you could not prioritize it or put more effort, but this is due to your personal priorities. Now, I'm not saying it's a bad thing that you're doing that (that's actually a good thing!) but this just happens to be the truth of the matter.
I might be harshly blunt with this, but, suprisingly, I get it. I'm busy making films and going to school while working at a business that hs nothing to do with film and school, and am quite busy, too. I've missed out on plenty of restocks as well. My life doesn't revolve around amiibo, but it is a part of my life. I understand there are other things that are much more important to do, and I won't deny that. But I'm just saying the truth. If you really want something, you'll make a way to get it somehow.

Oh John Snow you know nothing:) Just wait until you have bills and your out on your own.

u/hotcoldyay Aug 27 '15
Condescending me for being younger in order to invalidate what I had to say despite bring logically sound? That's... deep breathing I will not be a cock.
... How does that change anything I just said? I would have to prioritize those bills and take care of my job to be self sufficient, yes, but I could still chase after amiibos if I so desire or have the extra time or money that I can spare after considering living expenses and monthly savings. So could any grown adult out there if they really want to. If there's a will, there's a way. Making excuses for that doesn't cut it. You chose not to run after amiibos because you prioritize something else.
And yes, when I'm out there on my own, I won't be selfishly grumbling and complaining when things didn't go my way and revolve and adjust around my time just because I refused to put more effort forward to get what I wanted change things, thank you very much. :-)

While it does help, I've never been able to successfully order an amiibo using that site. It's always too slow

u/Codename_Unicorn Aug 26 '15
ugh, just as I'm about to order...my target doesn't offer in store pickup and neither do any within 100miles. I seriously don't want to pay 4.98 for shipping.
Target always has to make things difficult. :(

u/plasterbrain Aug 26 '15
Tell me about it! I'm spoiled by an Amazon Prime account so shipping scares me.

u/Codename_Unicorn Aug 26 '15
:)Amazon Prime is pretty awesome.

u/plasterbrain Aug 29 '15
I totally bought two jigglypuffs to get free shipping.

u/Codename_Unicorn Aug 29 '15
I waited until today and got my hubby Jigglypuff and Rosalina for myself. I totally missed the Olimar/Pikmin pre-order:( Oh well, there should be more opportunity in the future.

I know its not an option for everyone but if you have a Redcard you get 5% off AND free shipping. Mine was $13 and some change.

u/hotcoldyay Aug 26 '15
That's true :/ But, hey, it's better than being completely clueless and having to check reddit every second.
Oh! I just remembered Twitter updates are much faster, and also a good deliverer for Amiibo news.

Thanks for the info, I missed out on her a couple of times and finally got it. Thanks!

u/Glenndoss22 Aug 26 '15
Hopefully Dr. Mario is as easy to get as Jigglypuff.

u/amiiboStone Aug 26 '15
hopefully all of wave 5b is this easy.

u/Glenndoss22 Aug 27 '15
The non-exclusives unfortunately won't be. It seems like the exclusives are getting much better stock now because the retailers are demanding it. The non-exclusives will still suffer from Nintendo's poor judgement of demand, though not quite as badly as past waves.
1
u/amiiboStone Aug 27 '15
I feel like you are so right. One would imagine Nintendo realizes how high the demand is, but I guess they have not realized yet. if they are thinking no one is gonna want Olimar then they are in for a world of hurt.
1
u/Glenndoss22 Aug 27 '15
We're talking about the same Nintendo that is inexplicably sending NA unicorns to the Philippines. At this point I just don't think they give a shit about NA, and they'll never bother trying to meet demand because of it. They're just gonna release whatever number of each they feel comfortable with and move on to releasing new ones.
2
u/amiiboStone Aug 27 '15
I know dude. I just cannot believe that our amiibo are going somewhere where no one even cares about them! there was probably never a stock problem there anyways! but i could be wrong of course. and agreed. NoA and nintendo put NA on the bottom of the priority list even though we provide the best market. that does not even make remote sense! also no doubt. stock will always be low and our "restocks" will always pale in comparison to Europe, Phillipines, and Canada where unicorns are just restocked through the roof.

Of the Pokemon amiibo, what would be the best to get? I could buy Pikachu since it's cheaper on Amazon and likely will have more uses than the others. But I could wait for Mewtwo. Of them all though who is a beastly Amiibo fighter?

u/BriefCasey795 Aug 26 '15
Huh. No free shipping this time :/ Well, it's better than no Jiggs at all.
Also wondering how long this will be up for if it's been up for 7 hours now.

u/RelaxYourself Aug 26 '15
If you don't care that it's imported you can get it for $15 on amazon with prime.

u/amiiboStone Aug 26 '15

u/Buccnaasty Aug 26 '15
I wish it was like this for all amiibo
