    Metroid amiibos back up for pre-order

    The 3x new monster hunter amiibo exclusive to the "my nintendo store" are back up but only on the uk store. None of the eu stores have stock

    https://store.nintendo.co.uk/en_gb/games/enhance-your-play/amiibo/

    The problem with the uk store is not only do you need a uk address but as of April this year you now need a uk credit card. I had to get a buddy up north to order for me. Not my finest hour.

    I know you can create virtual cards on Revolut and N26 etc but not sure if u can create them as UK based cards.
    It would be a handy way around it.

    Actually, I remember having a credit card years ago that u top up. I think I got it in a shop. If they still sell them, you could get ur mate up north to send u one down and use that in the future.

    I googled and found this:

    I think Mastercard do them as well.

    How are people in Ireland buying their Amiibo’s in 2022? I’m buying from Amazon or Nintendo store UK which involves AddressPal and custom fees. Any better options?

    Any word on Steve and Alex Amiibo going on sale outside of the US?

    Gamestop mentioned the Minecraft ones in a twitter post earlier this week nothing since they did get a couple of allocations of MinMin so hopefully they'll get these two too

    Sephiroth and Kazuya amiibos are coming on January 13. Kazuya available to pre-order on GameStop but Sephiroth already out of stock. :( I missed the announcement news a few days ago. If anyone sees Sephiroth available from Amazon or any other site can you post here? Thanks in advance. :) Don’t want to miss out on this one.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,681 ✭✭✭Wolverine359


    Sephiroth amiibo now available for pre-order on Amazon and GameStop, comes out in 2 weeks time.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,322 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Very strange no Fire Emblem ones but the Sephiroth looks amazing.

    Anyone's Amiibo cancelled by GameStop?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,681 ✭✭✭Wolverine359


    Are they out today? Had it in my head that they were next Friday. Had them preordered in GameStop, didn’t get any cancellation email, but frustratingly they never tell you that they’re ready for collection either. I’ll try them tomorrow.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,322 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    They were supposed to be out yesterday I have not been able to get out to see if mine are in stock yet as I have a health thing going on again.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,322 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Delayed until Friday hopefully they'll turn up.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,681 ✭✭✭Wolverine359


    They should yeah, I was talking to a GameStop employee today who told me they’ll even discount them by €5 for the inconvenience of the delay which I think is super decent of them.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,681 ✭✭✭Wolverine359


    Sephiroth and Kazuya available at GameStop today, picked up my preorders. A week late but they came through. :)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,681 ✭✭✭Wolverine359


    Anyone know if the Tears of the Kingdom amiibo has appeared on GameStop yet? Unavailable for purchase at Amazon so probably orders came and went there already.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,511 ✭✭✭Ryath


    You can preorder it for £30 on Amazon. It should only be £15 though? I'm hoping they just set a guide price and it will drop.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,681 ✭✭✭Wolverine359


    Oh I hadn’t been able to find it before, thanks for the link! :)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,322 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    GameStop are way more fixated on PSVR2 and their new loyalty program than Nintendo stuff. Both are providing their funding to stay open.


    The fact that you need the new loyalty upgrade to buy the old model switch with a dlc mario game on Friday really has me scratching my head wondering will they even still be afloat come May for Zelda.

    Game up in Newry didn't know if they're stocking the amiibo earlier today if they do they're not sure they'll have it in store if they do it may be online only so best start finding alternative places for it.

    The Pyra and Mythra Smash Bros amiibo will launch as a double pack on 21/07. Each amiibo unlocks a unique Aegis Sword weapon skin that characters using the Swordfighter class can wield in Xenoblade Chronicles 3.


    amiibo figures of Xenoblade Chronicles 3’s protagonists Noah and Mio are also on the way. Stay tuned for more details!

    Anyone have a link for a Sora pre-order? I swear I check the Irish nintendo store every day and somehow missed this one as it sold out already:

    https://store.nintendo.ie/en/sora-no-93-amiibo-super-smash-bros-collection-000000000010011770

    It's on artswift China but customs fees:

    https://www.artswift.com/products/preorder-amiibo-super-smash-bros-series-kingdom-hearts-sora-noah-mio-2-pack-xenoblade-chronicles-3-series



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,681 ✭✭✭Wolverine359


    Is that Artswift site relatively safe? Would order it and suffer the customs if I have to. I see Amazon Germany have it but currently not available, maybe they sold out but could be a chance they could get them in stock closer to release? For Sora I mean.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,681 ✭✭✭Wolverine359


    Anyone looking for Sora, it’s available for preorder from Amazon.de, for a total of €28 including shipping.
