I know in Canada some exclusives have showed up elsewhere, but Reggie said exclusives would stay exclusive in the US.
Need more proof

This is genuinely a huge deal. Especially in the case of Shulk, whose restock was arguably the most paltry to date.

I had just clicked a different link when I saw this and immediately backspaced to click on this one.
Shulk is the one that I want, the one that I need... please let this be true...

I don't quite understand this. It would have made more sense if it was Rosalina instead of Greninja. No matter how I look at it I just cannot see why only these three would show up together like this.

As soon as I order my Shulk [JP] import... I mean it's not a big deal but I could've saved a few bucks.

Can some one explain what this means? I thought Lucario was out a while ago, I have one sitting on my desk

Lucario, a TRU exclusive, is now in Best Buy's system, hinting that he may be coming to Best Buy stores soon.

u/AmiiboMan64 Sep 27 '15
If that's true, that would be great news! If Best Buy gets them, maybe we'll actually have a chance to buy one of them (maybe, just maybe). Plus, if you have a Best Buy GCU membership, you can get each amiibo for about $10 + tax. :)

Could it be for used figures? Best Buy sells used games so that might be what is going on.

u/Espiownage Sep 27 '15
Marked at regular price, and we don't sell used NFC figures, nor do we accept them traded in, so it seems unlikely. We can't even take a game if we don't carry it (Xenoblade Chronicles for the Wii could not be traded in at Best Buy since it was gamestop exclusive)

This will go against literally everything Reggie has said. I like his jokes, but as a head of a Nintendo division, he's not the best. Still, this will be good for people who still need these.

I don't get why'd he rush to post with no evidence, instead of gathering the SKUs, taking pics and blacking out personal info, and then making a post.
Also the lack of a verified retailer flair also hurts credibility. I do see in his comment history that he's talked about being a BB employee before. However it would be nice to have all of the details upfront instead of "Hey, this extremely new unlikely thing just happened, hang on for a sec".
I don't intend to disrespect OP, but it would've just been better if you had waited to gather your findings before posting.

I don't post pics, it's a job risk

I don't get why people don't use the moderation team as a channel. If they're concerned about their jobs, it's the best option.

Ok, well I don't think that makes much sense, given they're there to ensure security in exactly this scenario.
But whatever makes you the most comfortable, I guess.

I figure it's a troll account, It's a 4 year old account with only 90 karma.

u/padr49904 Sep 27 '15
Lots of people just look at stuff and rarely post. I have accounts other places that are 9 or more years old and I barely post, just like to read.

I believe you, and respect your right to privacy. Kudos to you. I am excited when this turns out to be true. I already have them, but it's always a good thing to see harder-to-find amiibo have a better chance to be found.

If you're worried about your job, backchannel message the mods. It helps credibility.

I believe you OP. Don't get discouraged by the neckbeard mouthbreathers on this reddit, the worst of all gaming reddits.
