Yeah it sucks I want the ones I like so I have to preorder them 3 months before they come out or they get picked up and sold for £50 each luckly my mum got me the villager and the wii fit trainer for Xmas at £10 each best place to look is shops that don't know what they have sort of thing like if u go to game they know what ones sell and charge £15 for them but tesco put their stock out randomly so it's best to check there if ur UK anyway

I have all of them on order except Lucario and Rosalina. Up here in Canada the preorders for both of those are non-existent.

[PrimeGrime]

The Rosalina pre-order is an absolutely mess. Their PR teams says they sold out, then their twitter account says the pre-orders were just an accident more will be made available later...

Then again their twitter account says the opposite, saying they won't be taking anymore pre-orders... Then today they say more pre-orders for Rosalina will be made available this month when they just told me they weren't taking anymore pre-order and that people would have to wait till Feb 1st for the actual release.

Then to make matters worse, I just spoke to their live chat and they said the pre-orders were sold out and they don't know if anymore will be made available to pre-order...

[PrimeGrime]

Yay, I can't wait for Nintendo to send out only 4-5 of each for stock. So I can spend hours calling and running from store to store just to find 1.

[WeAreLegion]

Don't buy them.

[PrimeGrime]

I've thought about it, with the amount of gas I've wasted driving from store to store because of this crap with Nintendo shorting retailers.. I could just buy figurines of much higher quality. Since I don't even use my amiibos, all of them are still in the box that I have.

I've just gone through this much trouble already, so no sense in stopping now I suppose. I probably won't bother after wave 3 unless they make a Zero Suit or Ganadorf.. other than that I could careless about amiibos after wave 3.

Such a hassle, and so much confusion from both Nintendo and retailers about their own product.

[WeAreLegion]

That's what I would do. They're nice figurines, but you can find better Nintendo toys out there.

[GoPanthers999]

The best way to buy these is via preorder. I have 4 coming from Gamestop and Lucario from Amazon France.

[Jag-T1000]

I think these are selling only because people are collecting them. They probably don't even have a Wii-U. I just think they are overpriced, that's why I haven't bought any.

[LightDiego]

I want all the figures from this wave, just hope i can find them.
