I ordered them from Amazon France and I think they are shipping the first week in January.

I wonder if I could cancel my Amazon order if Argos have more coming in a few days? I might as well if it's possible to cancel, want to complete my collection asap :pac:
Edit: order cancelled, getting them from Argos now, come on villager and kirby!

Uh 6 more to buy on Friday tho, my wallet! Damn you Nintendo and your cool merchandise. :pac:

Anyone know when Ike is due, seem to have a Marth reserved in Argos and would love to have both.

Around January 23rd I think according to Amazon if remember correctly with some more of wave 3/4 Febuary 20th

Allyall · 17-12-2014 2:57am

If you're not in any hurry to get them all, Nippon-Yassan seems to restock often, It's also possible free delivery.
It may save some heartache missing some when they go out of stock

Well they work on multiple games so thats 1 reason, Unlock Mii costumes in Mario kart and lets face it they look fantastic.

Rather buy these then skylanders or Disney infinity since I dont need these to actually play the game.

2nd wave now on sale in Smyths! Only a few available in Jervis St earlier on. No Little Mac though, but other five were there together with a few wave 1.

Have they got a proper display yet? I was in town earlier and assumed they wouldn't be on sale till tomorrow. Debating if I should go and get them now since I want Pit and he is low stock

They have two cardboard display units by the tills. Think there was one Pit left. Not sure if they had any behind the counter.

They probably have more behind the counter, no little mac is a shame tho. Also argos havn't updated their site to show wave 2 yet

souleater3000 · 18-12-2014 7:08pm

Got a Pit and Captain Falcon.

Smyths site lists Pit as 19/12/2014 now instead of low stock.
Captain Falcon and Zelda as Low Stock
Villager and Marth TBC 2014
Little Mac and WFT TBC 2015
Luigi and Diddy in stock

Thats just Jervis street tho as its my local one

RobbingBandit · 19-12-2014 12:28am

Captain Falcon in a Pele style kick pose looks stupid. Pit looks great though, anyone see what if any defective ones are available this time. Zelda looks good too.

I got a Zelda with 2 red eyes. I've got her on eBay already, current bid is €2,400. And a Luigi with an upside-down moustache, hopin to get a few grand for him too.

:pac:

RobbingBandit · 19-12-2014 12:55am

Damn was hoping for a one legged Luigi or a black face Zelda.

souleater3000 · 19-12-2014 2:04am

There was a hand-less luigi in this wave

souleater3000 · 19-12-2014 10:36am

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

RobbingBandit · 19-12-2014 10:38am

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.

souleater3000 · 19-12-2014 2:05pm

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?

Relentleslee · 19-12-2014 2:12pm

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 got one yesterday for Villager and picked him up but nothing for my Marth order yet.

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.

eoghanie · 19-12-2014 4:33pm

Caved in and ordered Little Mac from Amazon.de. Can always cancel later. This is a sickness.......

RobbingBandit · 19-12-2014 4:37pm

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........

RobbingBandit · 19-12-2014 7:45pm

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.

Corholio · 19-12-2014 8:17pm

Anybody near Argos Galway, or the Nutgrove one?

Would be very grateful if someone could do me a favour.

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.

Relentleslee · 19-12-2014 11:26pm

Was in GameStop in Balbriggan earlier and they had Captain Falcon and Little Mac in the Wii U section,

Corholio · 19-12-2014 11:52pm

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.

RobbingBandit · 19-12-2014 11:56pm

Sorry won't actually be out there after all not until Monday now.

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.

RobbingBandit · 20-12-2014 12:43pm

Got a Little Mac reserved just now, a few still up to reserve,get them quick.

eoghanie · 20-12-2014 1:33pm

Have a little Mac coming from Amazon and also getting one in Argos today so I have a spare one up for grabs if anyone is interested? PM for details.

Finally got my Marth, got a Villager and Kirby too, Kirby looks awesome, I'm going to dance him around whilst playing the soundtrack cd I got from club nintendo, why yes I am a nut job.

Overheal · 20-12-2014 11:13pm

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

Amiibos....collector urge growing...
