I wonder how much it will be. The Splatoon 3-pack was about $35.[/QUOTE]
Probably the same price. Don't see why they would be any different seeing as how base value of all amiibos are the same(?)
It's worth noting that only this 3-pack will be Gamestop exclusive. All included figures will be available separately elsewhere, this is just a special "retro ambassador" compilation.
At least none of them are exclusive then. I wonder if it will have special packaging.
They're not exclusive but my Walmart will still have not any. :hammered:
If they do, they'll have them out 3 days early and won't allow anyone to buy them.
Also as far as I'm aware, these will not be available for pre-order online. There will be at least 30 slots per store with a strict limit of one per person.
They're opening their doors early for Powerup Rewards members, but they won't (and probably can't) turn you away if you aren't.
I wonder what will be the exclusives for the next wave. Duck Hunt, R.O.B, and Game & Watch aren't. Are Dark Pit and Palutena part of this wave?
Dark Pit and Palutena are considered their own wave afaik

Still not worth (IMO) standing in line a few hours before the store opens for them. You have to go pretty earlier just to be part of the 30 people.
Damn why didn't they make a special four pack for Mario, Sonic, Megaman and Pacman then.
I would have totally bought it if I didn't already have Mario and Sonic.
After they're all released, I wouldn't mind franchise-themed packs like all the pokemon, all the FE reps, Fox/Falco, Pit/Palutena/Darkpit, etc.
Would be a good way to re-release former exclusives too.
My god damn amazing dad went to Best Buy and snatched me a Dark Pit. Fuck yes.

Aren't Best Buys getting a ton of Dark Pits.
[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;48341129]Aren't Best Buys getting a ton of Dark Pits at stores?[/QUOTE]
From a list I saw on /r/amiibo, it differs. Some stores get less than 10, some get more than 20. There was only 4 left when my dad got there.
[editline]31st July 2015[/editline]
And apparently some stores put the Dark Pits behind the customer service counter so people don't steal them.
SO HEY guess what my fire emblem amiibo squad came in hooray
which means that I currently own 2 marths, one in package, and one out. the package for the one I just got is kinda busted up BUT the figure inside is still in fine condition. since I don't need 2 marths I'm thinking I'm gonna raffle it off to one of you

From r/amiibo about the 3-pack.
[QUOTE=FlapSnapple] A while back, we got word of a special GameStop event on 8/8 where stores are being allocated extra hours in the early morning. Additionally, there are rumors about GameStop and a 3 pack. Let's firm things up a bit shall we? :D
According to our confidential sources:
-GameStop's 8/8 event will be amiibo related.
-The event will be for preorders, no amiibo will be available for purchase.
-GameStop will indeed be getting a 3-Pack!
-The 3-Pack will be a GameStop exclusive. (Not the individuals)
-The 3-Pack will be a Retro Pack featuring R.O.B., Duck Hunt, and Mr. Game & Watch.
-Each store will have [B]approximately 30 available[/B] for preorder.
-Preorders will be the traditional "head in store and put $5 down" style and [B]NOT utilize Web In Store.[/B]
-You must physically pickup your preorder from the store you preorder it at. There will be no shipping like they did with Web In Store.
-If a location allows more than their allocated preorders, the customer will simply not receive their pre-order. No exceptions.
-As of now, the 3-pack is the only pre-order officially announced internally for the 8/8 event.
-As a side effect, GameStop most likely not be receiving individuals of R.O.B., Duck Hunt, or Mr. Game & Watch.
-Pro members will be allowed in to stores an hour early.[/QUOTE]
Just felt like posting it all here so the information is all in one post. Looks like I won't be going to pre-order because I move the 9th.
[QUOTE]-Pro members will be allowed in to stores an hour early.[/QUOTE]
Fuck off Gamestop this is the kind of shit you do that makes me dream of the day you finally fucking close your doors.
I'm not buying it for a super obvious reason.
We still don't have pre-orders for Doc, Bowser Jr, or Olimar + Jelly Babbies in the states.

They don't tell people this, but they're not allowed to stop you walking in or preordering even if you're not.

Bad news to all psychopaths wanting to collect villager cards for animal crossing: There's going to be limited edition cards. The first one is obviously [url=http://www.japanese3ds.com/post/125627470659]Isabelle/Shizue[/url]

There will be normal variations but the pose is different on these special cards or something similar. They'll also work the exact same as the normal variations.
seriously, they can't even get a good supply on cards?

my robin has sad robin face syndrome lol
Only 2 cards per store. The first card is exclusive to Gamestop and only when you pre-order the new Animal Crossing game.
You'd think for a company that was originally in the card making business that they'd actually be good about making plenty of cards.
