I nabbed 2 of the Rob/Game & Watch/Duck Hunt packs, though they're easily available for preorder online as I suspected.
While there's no TRU here that I really care to go to, I'm sure their site will have it up eventually. And after Target had restocked Jigglypuff so well, in addition to the abundance of Retro 3-packs for preorder, I have a feeling TRU will be doing it the right way.... and will have a lot stocked to sell preorders for.
Also, fwiw, I have heard that it preorders at TRU start on the 30th... just a rumor that a few people have passed along now.

I'm really looking forward to Wooly World and hope there isn't a delay... which I believe was rumored.

Managed to pick up Villager, Marth, Ike, Lucario, Captain Falcon, Dark Pit, and Palutena getting a good chunk of my amiibo collection done, also managed to get a pre order for the retro 3 pack.
Nl that Yoshi looks cool is it soft or hard?

I was able to acquire Ness for just $15 plus shipping. It was a European packaging one but since I opened it that doesn't matter.

Was able to pre-order ZSS, Dr. Mario, & 8-bit Classic Mario from Target yesterday morning. I got on Twitter at just the right time when it was blowing up. I would have got Olimar, too, if I was thinking, but I'm happy with that. I'll still go to Target early on the 11th to get the Super Mario Maker bundle but at least I won't have to worry about being limited to 2 amiibo per person again.

Landed a Captain Falcon for a total of about $18. NA/US variety, new in the box. Ordered from Amazon.ca ...they will ship CF, if you can get him in before checking out... I got lucky I guess.

Walked into TRU yesterday to use my $10 reward cert before it expired. Was gonna pick up one of the shelf warmers that ive passed on for ages (luigi, peach or yoshi), but while looking...i came across a lone Greninja. Snatched it up and walked around the store. Had a few people ask where i got it and asked if i was going to buy it cuz they wanted it lol. They also had a splatoon boy and 3 girl amiibo. No interest in those as i only play smash. Greninja is a sweet figure, just need Lucario now for my pokemon

Here is my haul from today. Just went to TRU..don't care to get Dr. Mario from target. These were the 3 I wanted so happy to get them. Olimar has to be one of the best looking amiibos they have released. He looks amazing. But Ganondorf and Zero suit Samus are no slouches they look amazing as well. I would have gotten Bowser jr. and the 30th ann Mario...but I didn't feel like dropping over 70 bucks for all 5. They looked really good too but the 3 I picked up were the 3 I wanted the most. So a good day indeed. Hope all of you got the ones you wanted today.

Also I must say I loved how TRU had signs saying only 1 character per person. I can't remember if they did that last time when Greninja came out and all of that wave with Charizard, Wario etc.

I have Olimar x2 on the way (bought one from H+H Photos when I didn't secure him with my newegg* pre-order), and an extra 8-Bit Mario to open for when I buy the Mario Maker game. I can't afford it quite yet.
I have Chibi Robo w/ amiibo preordered, releasing on the 9th of Oct I think. I have two Retro packs pre-ordered and one paid off. I may cancel the other, but still likely will nab it, just to open them. I really like the look of them, but also want them for my amiibo wall.
My 4-pack order for Ganon, ZSS, Olimar, & 8-Bit is also on the way. Those will all stay in the carding. Olimar might be one I open if I cannot find a trade partner. I'll have photos of my recent amiibo that have arrived- plus my wall as it stands in a minute here.
I am starting to make amiibo customs as well (started easy, with Yoshi and a 'Bronze' Mario that isn't complete), and opening some doubles I have. Still so, I have a few for trade- Rosalina & Luma, and a Wario - both NA - if anybody needs them. I'm tempted to open Wario soon.... Also- I have an extra Olimar coming, so he would be someone I would trade, should someone need him. Rosalina/Luma and Olimar really. Wario I am thinking I should just open already to use with SSB and maybe customize.
I grabbed Inkling Boy & Girl as well, but I still want the 3-pack.
Very simple wave this time around. I didn't land Bowser Jr. but that is more due to me not wanting to go to a Toys R Us to bother. I'd rather buy one of his amiibo from a scalper, honestly... or hope for a restock like Target had with their Jigglypuff.
Oh yeah, I have my Dr. Mario as well.

I wouldn't mind some opinions on this one. Any suggestions on how I should do the M on his hat? What color, style, etc. etc...? Should I encircle the M in one color, and paint the M another? Just wondering. This is a silver Mario painted copper/bronze. It was pretty simple obviously. Also next to it is my Blue yarn Yoshi, one of my 4 amiibos I've unboxed... haha. There's bronze Mario though.... I just dunno what to do with his cap yet.

That's my wall. It's temporary... and some will be opened and replaced in the near-future with better boxed versions. Pikachu has a horrible box, for example...and he is easy to find. So come time to replace him, he'll become a custom possibility or addition to my open collection I guess. Here are my amiibo not on the wall at the moment. I need to move them all to a new wall and reorganize them, but I'm waiting for my 4 to come from my Gamestop order- and then the 3 pack as well, from that other Gamestop order. I hope to find the Splatoon 3-pack as well, and maybe import the squid, so I can hang the 3-pack and open the figures for Splatoon. I really just want to buy Super Mario Maker at the moment, but I'm pinching funds and after splurging on this wave of amiibo, I'm low on cash until I sell something or get my next paycheck, whichever happens first... Anyway I digress... here are the amiibo not on my wall-as well as a Dark Souls II statue and the Majora's Mask Skull Kid LE statue... I need to grab Splatoon next time I see it on sale. KMart had been selling it for $30 with their insane sales as they're going out of business (I think).... hoping I can find it cheap on Amazon or eBay maybe. I'm going to need to redo the wall big time when the 4 come from Gamestop, and then the retro 3-pack...and if I can find it, the Splatoon 3-pack... I haven't collected anything figure-wise like this since I was into wrestling figures, way back 15+ yrs ago now. This is like a nostalgia bomb now for me as I'm pushing 30 without a wife or kids....so I can still act like one now & then at least. I still won't resort to camping out or anything nutty like that. So I didn't get a Bowser Jr. and hope to trade for him, or that he comes online. Not waiting in a Toys R Us line... I hate their store enough as is. Last, this was a trial and error version of Yoshi, with one brush and one color to work with... It was a model masters paint brand of acrylic. It came out ok, but was very sloppy and I couldn't detail it due to the brush being old...and well...too big. I've since tried to remove paint, added more, didn't like it, and want to strip him down again... he's my loose mutant Yoshi with blue speckle spots from the different colors I tried..

My glaring absence is the FE amiibo... Still hope I can get those MSRP during a restock, maybe..hopefully. Once this wave's hype slows down maybe.

I picked up my first two Amiibo this weekend, Sonic yesterday with the release of Mario Maker, and Dr Mario today from Target. I passed on Olimar and Bowser Jr. Mistake?

I mean, if you don't want them then it's not a mistake. But they're going to be hard to acquire on the secondary market. As far as Amiibo are concerned, the rule is if you think you'll want it, get it. I passed on Mega Man once and never saw him again. Everyone else (that I've wanted) I've just bought the first chance I could... whether that be online or in store.

Urgh, I think I missed out on the 8-Bit Classic Colour Mario. It's sold out everywhere of course. I was able to find the Modern one easily but the other I missed. Hopefully he gets restocked.
