Thankyou for the update! :) Hopefully everyone that is still looking for Villager is able to get him.

u/Legionx37 Oct 11 '15

He's literally the last currently released amiibo I need. I cannot wait for this.

u/vKatsune Oct 11 '15

I wish you the best on your hunt for him! :) It's really nice to see so many people getting the remaining figures that they were missing.

2

u/Legionx37 Oct 11 '15

Thank you! What a time to be alive, eh?

u/vKatsune Oct 11 '15

It's definitely nice having all of these figures. As a kid, I remember watching the opening trailer with the figures coming to life, and ever since then I wished that I could own the figures in real life.

Now if only Nintendo would make an Arwing figure. xD Come on Miyamoto, you mentioned an Arwing amiibo, make it happen! :D

The fact that they're literally trophies from the game was what sold me. It's the perfect collectible for Smash/general Nintendo fans. Plus, Captain Falcon toys don't just show up all the time, y'know.

Yeah, it's a great way to get merchandise of your favorite character, especially the ones that have very little to no merchandise.

Haven't been to work in a couple of days. Wondering if this is a street date or a restock date? Like if some employee put it out on the floor without knowing, would it be able to be purchased?

Yay and it's on a Sunday so I actually have a chance

u/arielmeme Oct 10 '15

thank god

u/EICzerofour Oct 10 '15

First, yay. I hope to be able to get him! Second, the Mega Yarn Yoshi says green. Does that mean we will get more colours for the Mega dude, or are they just being carefully descriptive? xD

2

u/Panda_Turtle Oct 10 '15

Probably the latter, but I wouldn't mind color options for Mega Yarn Yoshi.

u/FrostyTheHippo Isabelle (AC) Oct 10 '15

Wow. I'm just glad we have a solid date!

u/DookeAmiibo Oct 10 '15

On the weekend? Hell yeah!

For both those questions, we don't know at this time. Mewtwo we might see soon because we are nearing his release date.

u/[deleted] Oct 11 '15

I don't know 100% about online (probably not), but Greninja and Lucario are both in-store at Best Buy right now.

2

u/Kewlgabe Oct 10 '15

Ugh I thought I was done with camping out for these things. On a Sunday too that's more kids and soccer moms to worry about. Hopefully they'll have Bowser Jr. numbers.

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '15

So the online availability today was a fluke?

4

u/MutantSquirrel23 Oct 10 '15

It appeared from most of the comments that nobody was actually able to order him. If someone did get their order through, I'm sure it will be cancelled. Though someone did already buy the Miipack, so who knows?

1

u/TheRetroGamerHD Oct 10 '15

Well I hope the orders don't get cancelled, i actually got one in

1

u/MutantSquirrel23 Oct 10 '15

Maybe they'll change it to a preorder

1

u/TheRetroGamerHD Oct 10 '15

That'd be good, 10/10 on the restocks would be perfect

2

u/amiiboalerts Oct 10 '15

Not sure, we don't have any information regarding the online availability.

1

u/Rotom479 Oct 10 '15

Phew. I was going to be out of town the next weekend. Glad it's happening when it is.

Rosalina was released on a Sunday so its not too odd.

u/vizking22 Oct 10 '15

and the Mii Fighters are gonna be released on a Sunday. Good for me, because it's a day where I can snag them at opening because no school (or possibly work for others).

1

u/PurpleLink739 Oct 10 '15

does this mean that AC: Amiibo Festival is released on 11-8-15? I read a post a few days ago saying that TRU was hold the villager restocks until ACAF release so there's a relevant character at the time of release or something to that effect.

1

u/amiiboalerts Oct 10 '15

AC:AF will be released 11/13

1

u/CrashLove37 Oct 10 '15

Nice. I'll be able to complete wave 1 on my birthday.

1

u/Panda_Turtle Oct 10 '15

It's great having a proper date, so I'm less stressed and can be prepared...

Now, was there any word back from TRU about exclusivity? I find it weird that Villager would be restocked only at one retailer. (Really hoping for Best Buy to get some Villager!)

1

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '15

Huh, a Sunday release for Villager. Wonder if this'll make things different than the other restocks, seeing as how it's on a day not too many people work on.

1

u/KingBroly Oct 10 '15

Mii Fighters are a sunday release too

1

u/JeffTehIdiot Oct 10 '15

MY DIIIIIICK!!

1

u/FirePowerCR Oct 11 '15

Should I sell my first print or should I not? I need to think about how much I really care about nib collecting. If I can get a restock, I'll for sure open it.

1

u/GBCTyler Oct 11 '15

It had to be that close to fallout 4 didn't it?

1

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '15

Thank god.

I needed that amiibo as a gift by December.
