    Argos stock of wave 2 confirmed to be S**t
    No Little Mac in sight at all :(
    Pit can be ordered in but some others can't.
    Still waiting on confirmation of Villager and Marth being in to collect

    Argos have some of the next wave up now, No Little Mac unfortunately and no two for €27 neither. They also have WFT and Villager in some stores NOW but be quick as they are selling out fast.

    Has anybody got a confirmation text about their orders being in yet? It said available to collect from today till Monday. Or does that mean it could be Monday before they even get the stock?

    Toysrus.co.uk have wave 2 in stock (with the exception of Little Mac and Pit, they had all of them still available to preorder last night). They are £10.89 and you get free delivery if you spend £29.99, they ship to Ireland too.

    I was due to pick mine up today but didn't get a text. Dropped in to Argos Ilac just there and a staff member pointed to about 50 blue crates behind the counter that had yet to be opened and suggested the items were in that delivery. Hopefully get a text tomorrow. Not sure what to do about sourcing Little Mac.

    I'm sure that will be tonight's unpacking for the staff then, hopefully get the text later or in the morning.

    It means the item is in stock now and will be held for you until close of business Monday.

    I agree, there is such a big urge to have them all, they look very nice when all lined up together too. I've got 6 it will be at least 12 by the end of the year. What about everyone else?

    Are you sure RobbingBandit? I never got the text to say they were in stock to pick up thats why I ask. Ill check tomorrow when I'm in there tho anyway

    I've got 12 so far. Kirby and Fox being picked up tomorrow hopefully, Villager, Marth and WFT arriving from Amazon on Monday, which only leaves the elusive Little Mac........

    If it says available to collect that is your confirmation text, I'm going to collect my WFT, Kirby, Marth and Villager now, €54 plus a free €5 voucher back.

    Got a reservation for a Little Mac in Galway for tomorrow. Would pay if you could post to Cork, and a bit extra for going to the trouble of getting it.

    Would you be willing to pick it up and post it to Cork? All paid for of course.

    Might also be able to get you one of the others, if you were still looking for any.

    Friend sent me code for Little Mac for Tallaght, if anyone can pick up Nutgrove one for me, could have the Tallaght one themselves, or vice versa.

    I just Checked stock :eek:.
    I'm unable to collect anyway. I saw it on amaxon spain earlier, for €12 + €3 delivered (That has already jumped to crazy money).

    I'm sick (literally), and that seems to have stopped any possiblities of me getting some of the more 'intangible' :pac: Amiibo's.

    I have two alternatives now. I either jump ship, don't try to collect them and sell any I may have that I don't "need" for a small profit.
    Or
    I start to spend a huge amount of time trying to find them for a decent price, or end up paying the high price asked by the resellers that have already bought a ton of them. - And remind myself, Wave 2 was only launched today............ :mad::(

    And remind yourself that wave 3 and 4 will likely be more adversely affected by low stock levels on some amiibo.

    So some Amiibos aren't compatible with the games in the same way?

    That's a bit dumb isnt it? If I want to Go Kart race with Mega Man I can't

    They could always add more amiibo mii costumes int he second MK8 DLC. Mega Man, Sonic etc.

    Also has the Captain Toad support not been confirmed yet? Assuming it will be part of an update as I havn't heard anything yet
