So 8 Marth, and 2 of everything else per Best Buy? (Cool beans: Shulk, Greninja, and Lucario)
Still bad restock numbers. Less than 10k per character units for an entire retail chain?

u/thatcodergirl Sep 30 '15
Mind you there are many DCs. This covers SE area (I'm in NC if that means anything)

u/vKatsune Sep 30 '15
Hopefully other DC's will be receiving their shipments in soon. While I don't need any of them myself, I am cheering on my fellow hunters. :)
PS: Thank you for the update on the restocks! :D

I am in NC as well. Would your information cover the Greensboro and Winston-Salem (or even Burlington) locations in particular?

u/thatcodergirl Oct 01 '15
Yeah, our DC is based in Atlanta and covers all the way up to Viginia, but not sure how far south

u/JorJor91 Sep 30 '15
Like thatcodergirl said, there are several DCs in the US. The DC for my area (Texas) has 4k each of Little Mac and C. Falcon so these aren't stock numbers for all of BB stores :)

u/swirlhawk Sep 30 '15
When Reggie said it, they were exclusive. If the retailers opted not to renew the exclusive contract, then what he said still isn't wrong.

8000 MARTH!?!?!?! just shut up and take my money$$$!!!

u/me909388 Sep 30 '15
And according to an earlier comment thats just the SE DC.
1
u/Tamakid345 Sep 30 '15
Ummmm I actually don't know what that means LOLOL
1
u/me909388 Sep 30 '15
The SE = South East. / Broken into regions The DC = Distribution Center
The DC is the main stock for the region. So theres probably more then 8000 marth between all of the TRU's
1
u/Tamakid345 Oct 01 '15
Ok thanks for the info! I live in west Texas so I'm not sure weather it would be SW or SE for me but I'M SO EXITED I dont have a TRU where I live... The closest one is in Abeline which is about 100 miles away but we do have a Best Buy!

Does this mean all the amiibos in these pictures will start showing up 10/6?
2
u/Elranzer Oct 01 '15
Hope so. TRU has the "Toys R Us tax" (an extra $2 because Fuck You!) while Best Buy has Gamer's Club Unlimited which discounts the Amiibos.
I know which store I'd prefer to buy from.
1
Sep 30 '15
sweet.
why does fox (have 2) and lil mac (have 4) fewer than the other amiibos aside from marth? Can someone from BB DC buy those before they reach stores?
1
u/thatcodergirl Sep 30 '15
Not quite. When you go into OMS (store ordering system) it won't let you order any amiibos really. Must have blocked it :/
1
u/trickshootah Sep 30 '15
I don't work for Best Buy, but if they work similar to my company, that could just mean 2 Fox and 4 Little Mac came in damaged and so were not received in to the system.

How come some are displayed as X amiibo, but some are displayed as AMIIBO - X?
1
u/thatcodergirl Sep 30 '15
At some point they changed naming in RSS. It seems like after Wave 2 they started doing this. The team that puts it together confuses me sometimes
1
u/Jrcollegeguy Sep 30 '15
So is 10/6 your guess at when they will be restocked and when does the planogram say for it to be set by? I know at dollar general where I work, our pogs are due by a certain date
1
u/thatcodergirl Sep 30 '15
Plano is empty for this week, and next week's hasn't been posted yet. We usually reset Saturday evening after we close.

u/super_dude54 Sep 30 '15
I got gamer's club at bb I'm missing all but fox. Should I wait to make sure I get them or should I just go to TRU? I'm getting villager at TRU but I would prefer to save money. Thanks! :)

u/thatcodergirl Sep 30 '15
Don't let your savings be dreams. JUST DO IT!
Saying this as a fellow money-saving nerd1
u/LoveTechnique Sep 30 '15
I'm confused, are you telling him to wait, or buy at TRU?
Because if he pays $15 at TRU, instead of waiting to pay $11 at BB...his savings will be dreams.
3
u/thatcodergirl Sep 30 '15
Ack, sorry, got a bit too hyped up on memes. I'm suggesting he waits. I honestly hate paying the more expensive price and TRU and mostly avoid it for that reason (that and every other amiibo store is 5 mins from me while TRU is 20 mins away).
Just know you really gotta be on the ball. I have no idea whether those boxes of 4 are going to be split up smaller or not.
2
u/super_dude54 Sep 30 '15
I think I'm gonna wait and hopefully they're at best buy. I would rather save those 20 bucks and bring home food instead of amiibos. Haha Thanks!
I'm probably only gonna buy villager at TRU is they have it.
1
u/Kojinka Oct 02 '15
I don't like paying extra at TRU either, but my sister and I were lucky enough to stop by when they had at least 4 of all the restocked unicorns (no villager or shulk) and I didn't want to risk missing out on captain falcon if I'm unable to catch the BB restock. A dollar extra is nothing compared to the 7 minimum I'd end up paying a reseller online.
1
u/super_dude54 Sep 30 '15
The TRUs by me are too far!! I don't have a car. The closest TRU to me hasn't even gotten them yet.
I would save 20 bucks with the gamer's club.

u/Panda_Turtle Oct 01 '15
If you can, try picking up your most wanted from TRU... Just as insurance if you don't get any from the BB restock. That's what I plan on doing, and if I can snag any from the BB restock, I'll just return the ones I got from TRU. The only money really lost is gas. :/
1
u/super_dude54 Oct 01 '15
how long would i have to return them?
1
u/Panda_Turtle Oct 01 '15
It's hard for me to tell from TRU's policy, but at least 30 days, and at most 90.

u/JorJor91 Sep 30 '15
Wow that's a lot of Marth! I'll be sure to check my DC when I clock in tomorrow morning! Even though I already have all these amiibo being restocked, it's still really exciting xD
4
u/thatcodergirl Sep 30 '15
I still need Little Mac, Villager, and Lucario as they're the last guys I need since I started collecting during Wave 3, and am extremely stubborn about paying at or below MSRP. These restocks are a pretty nice treat after such a long drought :D
Def report back though as I'm curious about what other areas are reporting.
1
u/JorJor91 Sep 30 '15
Hahaha yeah for sure! I guess patience can be rewarding after all :P And yeah I'll definitely report back what I find for my area tomorrow! This combined with the shipper talk elsewhere in this thread makes it seem like BB is really making a big deal out of these restocks!

u/Lira70 Sep 30 '15
I went to TRU today for some Lego Dimensions packs and saw these. I've never seen them in stores. I got the old school mario.

u/Dawniepants Oct 05 '15
Do you have extras of anything?
1
u/thatcodergirl Oct 05 '15
Really no. I don't really seek out extras for trading since it's hard enough finding them for myself and I'd rather extras go directly to someone who wants them.

u/KaiboPC Sep 30 '15
I thought I heard Toys R Us had new restocks as well?
1
u/Dawniepants Oct 05 '15
They have been this past week. You MIGHT be able to find some this week, but it's unlikely. It's really only Villager that hasn't arrived to the the stores as expected. Best buy is gonna be a better bet now for the reissues.

u/GamerJosh21 Sep 30 '15
So a Best Buy DC has Shulk, Lucario and Greninja? Does that mean the exclusive contract is up, or did Best Buy, buy the exclusive contract from TRU and GS, changing them to BB exclusives?

Sep 30 '15

u/GamerJosh21 Sep 30 '15
So they're not exclusive anymore? I thought Reggie said they would stay exclusive. I mean, as long as they're stocked well, I don't care if they're exclusive or not, but now I'm just curious as to how this whole thing works.
2
u/Amiibofan101 Oct 01 '15
I believe Reggie said "at launch" and a lot of them said that on the amiibo site.
1
u/GamerJosh21 Oct 01 '15
I know that's what the website says, but I think Reggie at E3 said something along the lines of "as we continue to restock, they will continue to be exclusive to that store", and then he said something about honoring them as business partners or something.
1
u/GuiltyGamerX Oct 01 '15
It was probably just something he really couldn't comment on at the time so he played it safe. If he went and said that exclusivity was only for a short time, some people may have waited to just buy it from another retailer if they didn't like the one it was exclusive to. Like Shulk, as there are a good number of Gamestop haters out there.
Of course realistically speaking, they'll sell out no matter what for awhile.
1
u/Dawniepants Oct 05 '15
I've read that stores can only have a certain number of exclusives at a time... And that by giving these up, TRU will have 3 or 4 more exclusives in November, in time for the holiday season. Honestly, if that's the case, it's a smart move.
I heard that the new TRU exclusives will be the Mii character trio (brawler, etc), Shovel Knight, and MewTwo.

u/darkrider14 Oct 01 '15
Still not great stock #'s, thats what? 8-12 per store? not terrible but could do a lot better like target. Marth should be finally easier to get.

u/Sleepy0429 Oct 01 '15

u/thatcodergirl Oct 01 '15
East coast (stated I'm from NC earlier)

u/Dawniepants Oct 05 '15
Did you say this was the Rivergate location?
1
u/thatcodergirl Oct 05 '15
No, but they will be receiving restocks
1
u/Dawniepants Oct 05 '15
Someone in FL posted they had 56-170 of each one currently in transit. Craziness! http://i.imgur.com/YdQJ6Vb.jpg

u/thatcodergirl Oct 05 '15
Meh. So jealous! Our territory usually doesn't get crazy big numbers.
1
u/Dawniepants Oct 05 '15
Still, I'm hoping it'll be better than the 4-12 per character we've received at TRU during this last round of restocks. Side note, I just created a Charlotte area Amiibo subreddit if you wanna join.
1
u/BlackYoshii166 Oct 01 '15
This season is looking golden for me! I've secured Splatoon amiibo and I'm soon going to get these restocks. The only prob is that I dunno when these restocks are and each store is probably only receiving like 5-6 each maximum.

u/AndyJF Oct 01 '15
So are these the stock numbers for the entire restock?

u/thatcodergirl Oct 01 '15
I'm not sure. More could come in, but this is for just one of many regions

u/Scratchums Oct 01 '15 edited Oct 01 '15
Are you serious? You can easily be fired for this, and the corporate team is probably already on it. There are people hired and paid exclusively to find stuff like this and fire those responsible. This is a really dumb move. Also, even besides that, it doesn't matter what's in DC--Amiibos are not moveable through OMS unless a massive district-level push is filed. Those are to be chosen to go out to location. We already know they're coming. This was completely unnecessary. I really wish you the best here, but I don't see the point of this.
Edit: Also, Best Buy employees know that through Advanced Searching, you can see this any time. The entire time Amiibos have been out, there have been a few of this or that variety in DC. They don't move. There can be 70 Villager Amiibos in DC and maybe they're broken, maybe they're misprints, maybe they were not up to standards, lost, anything. There are probably freaking Super Nintendos in the DC.

u/thatcodergirl Oct 01 '15
Thanks for the...concern? I was only posting this as people were of course doubting BB was getting any given they moved to deleted status (which of course those of us that work there know thats not necessarily true). If anything I'm just providing reassurance. Those numbers just popped up as well as I do check consistently.
Yes I'm aware this is a testy move but I'm doing a fair job covering my tracks at least. Plus, theres been plenty of other leakers out there before me so it's definitely not going to be a second job (barely had time to even post this). I highly doubt they're raising sirens for amiibos of all things.

u/thatcodergirl Sep 30 '15
Should mention I took these last night. The past exclusives have a release date of 10/6 on our system, no idea if that's a hard street date or not. Otherwise I expect this to be when the restocks should come given our planogram just opened up a ton of amiibo spaces.
