This guy who admitted he's coked the fuck out of his mind is drawing the people in line pictures and making business propositions that I don't even know are real.

Well, nevermind the suicide emote. Completing my secondaries will be easier than expected.
GameStop is empty right now. Hell yes
Well that was easier than i expected.
3 other dudes showed up for the retro pack at my Ebgames. Apparently they have a lot more packs coming.
So my store has a preorder cache of 160 since its store only. If I knew that I wouldn't have gotten up at 4 in the fucking morning but still at least my preorder is secured
[QUOTE=Itachi_Crow;48407989]bruh you're standing outside waiting for a toy of course there's gonna be a kid lol[/QUOTE]
More like the little kid is 8 or so years old without a umbrella standing in a thunderstorm just like "here I am."
Got my pre-order though so whatevs.
Got one. They had like 40 in-store.
From what I understand they will be getting between double and triple their preorder numbers in total
First shipment contains preorders + 20, and the second one will be between that and 50 (!!!) depending on demand (read: how fast the 20 sold)

In other words, the exclusive amiibo drought seems to be healing finally
Can you only pre-order today? I am hoping that I have a huge amount of luck that I can preorder tomorrow after I move.

If there are any slots left open after today, sure. They aren't one day only, it's just today that reservations open.

Also, some further insight on behalf of local management; supposedly the three were packaged together in the US because demand for them was "comparatively low" when put next to others in the upcoming US wave, at least according to interest metrics (scanning social media to see what people are planning on buying). This decision was made after their unveiling, and was a strategic move to draw more attention to them, as NoA was not confident they would be as popular, particularly G&W (who costs slightly more to make, supposedly). They needed an effective way to move units of these three, so they bundled them together as retro ambassadors, cutting packaging and shipping costs in the process.
Surprisingly, it was just me and the other local collector for a few hours, then it slowly trickled from 2 to about 15 at 9AM.

[quote]One off duty gamestop employee skipped the entire line to pre-order her's. The clerk, said "Aren't you going to respect the line?" she replied "Fuck the line." Maybe I should put that in the survey too.
Wasn't the first time either. She order her's first (holding up the whole line) during wave 4 debacle. On wave 4 launch she and her boyfriend skipped the entire line to pick up an already bagged ness, robin, and lucina, the store only got two of each. She's a cool person, but the shit she does is fucking rude as hell.
Not gonna lie, her boyfriend is my favorite youtuber, that's one of the biggest reasons why I don't want to.[/quote]
Surprise Etika and his girlfriend are shitheads

Look at Sift's post. Apparently Etika and his gf skipped lines at Gamestop because his gf is an employee.
Opps wasn't aware that was a response to that. Sorry.
[QUOTE=Keychain;48411702][img]http://jesusfuck.me/di/C5WO/344333.png[/img][/QUOTE]
When people are flat out confirming them skipping lines and saying "FUCK THE LINES!" there's not much to explain. I can't think of a single way robbing people who stayed overnight for a launch would ever be fair.

I don't care for Etika's content but a very similar post (in fact Sift I think you made it too) came out a while ago about John Numbers "being an asshole" when things weren't explained fully. Did he do it? Probably, but can we at least wait to hear what he has to say before calling him and his girlfriend shitheads?

Yeah John went on saying that the interviewer took it out of context but like I said it's literally impossible to paint this in a positive light. This wasn't a interview and it's something that Etika and his girlfriend have been doing for awhile now. The best he could say is "I-it's for the channel guys you understand right?"
Unless numerous people were lying for absolutely no real reason I can't imagine how this could be painted positive.
Went to gamestop late in the day (like 6 pm) and of course they didn't have any. I wish I could have checked earlier but I had this all day meeting thing. I still don't know if I would have preordered though since I was on the fence before. Although I do really love all three of the characters.
Well I moved today. And lucky for me Gamestop was only 10 minutes down the road. They still had plenty of pre-orders available. I got the 3-pack. :happy:
Congrats!
So who WASN'T able to get a preorder in for that trio?
[QUOTE=Everything;48421164]So who WASN'T able to get a preorder in for that trio?[/QUOTE]
I can't because I am in the process of moving across the country for a job at the moment.
Which stinks, because I know I will never get it now.
The Retro 3-Pack is up at Gamestop.com for anyone who may have missed it.
I was able to actually, even though it was like 20 minutes from closing time (9am to 9pm)
When the guy was ringing me up he handed me a small piece of paper for some reason and I think it said something like "Congratulations! You've reserved your spot in line" and I think the number 27
I guess only 26 other people came for it?
They were sold out of everything else they said though
[url=http://www.gamestop.com/accessories/amiibo-retro-3-pack-exclusive/123757]Here's a link to the 3-pack[/url]
[editline]t[/editline][URL="http://www.gamestop.com/nintendo-3ds/accessories/3ds-nfc-amiibo-reader/123181"]
The NFC reader for 3DS is also up,[/URL] release date is the same day as the 3-pack.
What's that? Is it an adapter for old 3DS amiibo?
[editline]10th August 2015[/editline]
I haven't even touched my 3DS since they fixed the ram hack glitch, still haven't updated it
