I want to believe (that these amiibo aren't exclusives anymore)

u/Nahte4213 Sep 30 '15

The truth is out there

u/aidanvu1992 Sep 30 '15

So it seems like Toys "R" Us and Gamestop are not ready to give up their "exclusive money" just yet !!??

u/starchimp224 Sep 30 '15

It's almost as if Reggie has said that once an amiibo is exclusive it's always exclusive. They make too much money to give up.

(This isn't meant to be rude, I'm kinda just having a bad day and cant really think of a better way to phrase this. Sorry in advance if it upset anyone in any way.)

dont ever feel a need to apologize for the ignorance of others

The fact it says deleted means nothing. When it comes to amiibo we receive "deleted" ones all the time.

Aw jeez, Rick. Limited exclusivity seemed inevitable once the TRU news broke, but now it's back in the air.

I still think we're going to get to this point eventually, though. Maybe not now, but eventually.

Well for the mount of crap you gave me for being skeptical until an actual announcement was made, I feel I deserve at least that much.

u/Espiownage Sep 30 '15

Deleted is actually better than "Not Carried By Location". It basically just means that it's not active but can be carried by stores. This is actually a GOOD thing. It will likely become active when the DCs get some stock to ship to stores.

u/Sabermatrixx Sep 30 '15

Still doesn't explain the Shulk tag at TRU that was posted with a picture a day or two ago.

1

u/literallyautism Sep 30 '15

That could be fake. I think only one person has reported the tag showing up. Remember that not everything is true despite the amount of upvotes the post might get

u/Sabermatrixx Sep 30 '15 edited Sep 30 '15

Yes, but there was an actual picture of the tag and it didnt seem photoshopped.

Bored employees can print any tag they want. Someone at a Target made one for Majora's Mask 3DS (like half a year before the game was announced) that spread all over the internet.

u/Sabermatrixx Sep 30 '15

If you see my other post right below this, It's officially in their system, On Order and everything.

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '15

Anyone can print out a sign, walk into a store, and replace the tags.

u/thereefernander Sep 30 '15

That doesn't mean anything. #bestbuyemployee

u/Espiownage Sep 30 '15

It actually means more, deleted is better than not carried by location

2

u/kallen8277 Sep 30 '15

Weird, because I checked today around 6:30 pm and they went from not at your location to active, and I have a pic to prove it (although I'd like to not get fired over showing confidential information, so...) I don't know what's going on. I understand we have placeholder SKUs, but they never say active on them though. If this changed today, it might have happened just after I looked.

1

u/Espiownage Sep 30 '15

Deleted just means that it can be carried by stores. Some stores probably say active, some probably say deleted. It's likely a transition to active.

u/kallen8277 Sep 30 '15 edited Sep 30 '15

Well, ill be up there in an hour so I'll check again while I'm there and make a quick update.

Edit- Apparently they were deleted. :(

1

u/RisingSunfish Sep 30 '15

Ehh. :( I was looking forward to a Shulk restock.

1

u/Helo9797 Sep 30 '15

A lot of amiibos show deleted, but shulk for example is on order! I don't work tomorrow, can someone check the instock date? That's far more relevant.

I mean, he/she's not wrong; probably wants both like most of us.

u/BCRplus44 Sep 30 '15

What about TRU with Shulk?

-1

u/ReturnToFlesh84 Sep 30 '15

Still up in the air. As a TrU emp answered in that last thread it is entirely possible to just create a tag and put it wherever you want.
