You can get Megaman and Sonic for 10 on shopto right now, free shipping, usually next day delivery. Pre-orders on Shopto, and same price as Smyths! Will give Smyths a go and if no luck will get from there, cheers bud! It does say In Stock but release date is 20th. They're probably in now because shopto ALWAYS gets things out to you early (often by as much as 2 or 3 days) so you may have had it tomorrow if you'd ordered before 5pm today. Shopto has a system that offers you a certain amount (which varies depending on how much the item is that you bought) off your next order after you order something so it could work out cheaper than smyths.

Got my Japanese Meta Knight in the mail today... Still gonna try and go out on Friday morning to get King Dedede, then I'll have everything I want that's out so far. Then it's just Lucina, and maybe Charizard... Unfortunately, I'm sure Lucina will be hard to come by too

I want mega man and sonic so bad. I don't care about the others. I know I'll never find them.

You yanks have more options for Amiibo than we do, you should check TRU, Best Buy etc sites. They've only just come out here so they're still in stock. VAT is already included in the price BTW.

I'm hoping sonic and mega man aren't that rare. I have a amazon preorder for sonic but who knows if it will get cancelled. There are people camped out today in the freezing cold at TRU and Best Buy. And it's after 10 so they are all gone by now.

The rarest one I have found in a store is toon link, and there was only 1, and he isn't even that rare. I wanted a villager real bad, but not paying the crazy prices for it. I can't believe how Nintendo has dropped the ball with making these things available.

I found out that the WalMart I frequent has taken it upon themselves to lock up the more scarce Amiibos in the game cases so they can limit them to 1 per customer. So I grabbed Mega Man and Sonic. They had a whole heap of Sonic but only 3 Mega Man. I also contemplated Toon Link.

I can't believe how Nintendo has dropped the ball with making these things available. Yeah Villager is the one out of the 3 rare wave 1 Amiibos that I don't have, and I refuse to line any scalpers pocket. I think most of these will get a restock eventually, WFT got restocked briefly on amazon so I managed to snag her. I'm quite concerned about how I'm going to get Shulk, Rosalina and Little Mac if for some reason they don't restock (Megaman's already gone up £2 on amazon uk, glad I ordered him last night!). It doesn't help that amazon cancelled my Little Mac preorder .

It doesn't help that amazon cancelled my Little Mac preorder . If they are smart they will re-release them. But you never know with Nintendo. I went ahead and ordered Mega Man from Amazon. Came out to $23 american. By the time I drove around looking, bought gas and lunch, i would have spent $25 anyway. I'll take my chances on sonic. Hopefully Amazon US doesn't cancel my pre-order.

Yeah the nearest argos near me is like an hour round trip, if you factor in petrol alone it'd make an Amiibo a rip off. Amazon and Shopto are my best bets. I wish I hadn't missed the Shulk pre-orders on shopto. I don't know what Nintendo are thinking, because there's such a huge demand for these things and no where near enough supply (some people are selling Shulks at 5x their original value). They dropped the ball with the GC adapters too, and now a 3rd Party company has stepped in and capitalised on them.
