Shulk Amiibo arrived today! Will get a picture of it soon.
My Meta Knight, and DDD Amiibo came in today, thus completing the Kirby Series. Now I just need to worry about Ike, Ness, Lucina, and Robin, and Marth.

[t]http://i.imgur.com/d3PZWxl.png[/t] Maybe it's not as bad as it seems.
No one is going to buy that, why bother?
There was one thing I always wanted to check when I finally got my Shulk amiibo to see if they really payed attention to detail.

Also forgive the garbage quality.[/sp]
So retailers arent putting them on shelves for another 2 days right? That's only online preorder.
Most stores are getting them in now and just putting them out the second they get them. Worth poking stores about specifics as some are just straight up "we won't have any spares sorry". In other news [t]http://i.imgur.com/eePJxiq.jpg[/t] This is the Monado's powaaaAAAAA[b]AAAARGHHH[/b]

[editline]t[/editline] We actually already have such technology in reality, though not as seamless: [t]http://i.imgur.com/COLgenD.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/4h6ZPOe.jpg[/t] This requires etched glass, so it's obvious there's a projection surface there, but the Monado probably uses micro-etching and selective frequency projection to achieve the 'floating symbol' look.

Yay! Amazon emailed me with a shipping date for my Mega Man Amiibo! Should have it by Monday.
So today I went to GameStop to pick up a battle.net prepaid card to waste my life on Blizzard games, I strolled over to the Wii U section to just browse and see what they had. I glanced at the Amiibos to see if by some miracle they might have had a King Dedede, but of course there wasn't anything. So I go to check out and get in line when I notice a group of guys pass by who had a particularly interesting odor. There were like two skinny guys and a fat guy who all crowded around the Amiibos and began to pick through them slowly and carefully. They were all talking amongst themselves about how many copies of X rare amiibo they had and how they would get their friends to pre-order for them and how one guy would buy tons of amiibos even if he hated Nintendo just to make money off of them. I feel bad for kids all over America now.
Uhh. My Toon Link order with Gamestop is showing as "Closed", meaning it's either gotten here (which it hasn't) or it's been cancelled. Can anyone else who ordered one through them confirm this wasn't just me? [editline]11th February 2015[/editline] The charge on my card is still pending. Probably going to call on Friday if I don't get a second email by then.
Closed means it's been shipped to the store or canned. If you're pending your fine.
Got my Shulk. Going Meta Knight hunting when he drops on the 20th.
[QUOTE=Makol;47116875]Yep. Just happy to still be able to be here and being able to type stuff.[/QUOTE] Just move up here to Indiana already
[QUOTE=Sift;47124468]Closed means it's been shipped to the store or canned. If you're pending your fine.[/QUOTE] The charge on my card is pending, meaning the money is set aside but hasn't been deducted yet. The order itself is "Closed", with no status update email. According to the tooltip on the order page, that either means it's reached its destination (I don't have it), or the order has been canned by either party. [editline]12th February 2015[/editline] Like I said, I'll probably ask about it if things are still the same by Friday. I've never ordered online with GS before, and their status page is incredibly vague compared to what I'm used to.

Look at what my store just got: [T]http://i.imgur.com/gwjXvRb.jpg[/T] [T]http://i.imgur.com/8QS7QK5.jpg[/T] Still missing the Big 3, Lucario and Shulk for the current released ones. Hopefully my friend can get me a Shulk since she works there.
"Unfortunately, your order for the Mega Man amiibo Figure has been delayed. Your item will be placed on back order while we work with Nintendo to get more stock of this item. Your business is extremely important to us, and we sincerely apologize for any frustration this delay may have caused you." fuck you
Where did you order from? [editline]12th February 2015[/editline] Check out what I just got in the mail! [t]http://oi60.tinypic.com/3133b78.jpg[/t] Best part? I didn't even order him and I have no idea where this came from!
Once you see a physical representation of Meta Knight, you start to realize his range back in Brawl was actually WAY exaggerated for what those tiny arms and tiny sword should be able to do.
So do you guys buy them to use in smash bro's or just collect them? (just curious).
[QUOTE=robotman5;47127469]So do you guys buy them to use in smash bro's or just collect them? (just curious).[/QUOTE] Personally I just collect them because they're nice figures. Any in-game functionality is just a bonus to me.
[QUOTE=robotman5;47127469]So do you guys buy them to use in smash bro's or just collect them? (just curious).[/QUOTE] Both. I think they look nice for the most part (and some just flat out look good) and I use them as a sorta screensaver by having them fight while I work "oh wonder who's winning" kinda thing.

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;47127699]Did you drunk buy something?[/QUOTE] Nope, nothings charged to my account and no one in my complex cares about amiibos. I can't explain it.
Maybe someone you know secretly ordered you one as a gift?
