I've been wanting Fox, and at that price Falco is worth it. Last time they had this sale though it would have cost $5 or so to ship them... now that shipping is free it's a super good deal. X3

 

 

Is it online only?  Because I know my BBY is < 5m from my house and I can stop by there after work....  I'd go for a Ryu. Falco, and Fox sealed at those prices...

I'm not sure, but I would say online only because it's a flash sale that ends at 4 PM EST.

It's worth noting that it covers some Disney Infinity too, but since DI is kill I doubt many are interested in those.

But I mean Darth Maul for .79, so maybe... Link.

I checked my email and those weren't part of the email they sent me....but the three I mentioned were TOO damn cheap to not get sealed ones at those kind of prices.   Sad thing is I had to get Ryu shipped but Falco and Fox are for store pick up...which works out any way since I got to stop by and pay my credit card there today.

[purple_beard]

Check your local TRUs for that restock, mine was pretty full on all of the ones I listed with a decent left around stock of Gold Marios.  But there is something odd at their store... NO SALE SIGNS up in the department yet they show on sale online--the guy working the area I asked if there was a in-store sale or a online only sale on them wasn't very astute to my question as I asked it pretty plainly and he goes and looks at a computer and the comes back and points to all the ones that were price dropped to $9-10 saying those were on sale while others were $13...  I was like well most of these $13 ones are $10 online...  $3 is a meal at Checkers or McDonalds ya know...

Thinking about seeing if Toys R Us has a Mega Yarn Yoshi. I don't need it, but...I need it.

My brother has him and he's HUGE compared to the normal Yarn Yoshi.  I just never got convinced to get him at his selling price.

[L'Arachel]

The Mega Yarn Yoshi is amazingly huge and awesome and cool... but not €40 cool. I keep hoping he'll go on clearance or something one of these days. I'd love one, just not worth the high price.

Through my parents i got another small Dimensions haul of 5 coming from LEGO Shop @ Home that were on sale

 

Would've been 7,but two of the Team Packs are still out of stock - no big deal, i guess

 

Hopefully some good deals pop at various stores between Black Friday and Christmas

 

Just leaves 19 Year 1 expansion packs and 12 Year 2 expansion packs left....though i wonder if that would be 14, technically....?

 

Damn, ive been pretty slow on this

[purple_beard]

MY local Wal Mart broke street date on Waluigi amiibos.  I didn't buy one but I think they were the only one to do it as neither TRU nor Best Buy had any out today.

[purple_beard]

Ryu arrived today.  Probably wait till the end of the week to take a large pic of the Mario ones I get and the last 4 I got from Best Buy.

 

4 BBY:

Gold Mario

Falco

Ryu

Star Fox

 

Mario series:

Boo

Daisy

Diddy Kong

Donky Kong

Rosalina

CURSE YOU TARGET..... not allowing me to get your sale on the new Mario amiibos via a preorder, which considering I want the full set, is a cheaper way to do things than a PO with BBY which I can do right now.  Then, your associate in your department when I asked how good of stock they got for the new ones coming out tomorrow replies with we're probably discontinuing them as we have had stock re-supplied or sales demand for those or any of the other like items for a while so we probably won't get any tomorrow.

 

I might do BBY as a back up plan  and try to get on Target after midnight to see if they hit-- I don't mind them being shipped but I kind of want them in my hand immediately.

So does Targets 2 Get 1 Free not apply to Amiibo?

Yes, but not all of them that they carry:

The ones with the red text underneath count.

I thought I already mentioned this here, but i don't see a post about it here. 

 

So the day after Halloween I went over to my local Walmart to see if they had any Mtn Dew Game Fuel, which they didn't. So before I left to go to Gamestop to pick up a Genesect code I decided to look at the electronics section. 

 

They had had some of the new Super Mario amiibos on display. They had two Boos, three Waluigis, two or three Rosalinas, and I think five Daisy's. So I took them to the electronics checkout and surprise, they weren't in their system yet. Someone displayed them too early.

 

So I went to Gamestop, they didn't get their Genesect codes in, but they let me pre-order the  new Mario amiibos and the Legend of Zelda amiibos coming this holiday. I think I only pre-ordered Rosalina, Waluigi, Boo, and 8-Bit Classic Link. That and a Litten plush.

My Wal Mart had Waluigi out since Tuesday I think... I posted in here I saw him.  I was in there last night to get some milk and that was still all they had out.

 

No one else in town has broken a street date. 

 

Congrats on the haul!  I traded in Star Fox Zero and deposted the credit on the LoZ Amiibos coming out at GS.

1am EST UPDATE....

 

MY NERVES GOT THE BETTER OF ME, I guess I should have PO'd earlier at BBY to have all of them for in-store pick up but any way... the nervousness of Target screwing around online.... I went ahead did all at BBY.....  so all but DK and Diddy are for in-store pick up, and those two will be shipped.  If Target sells out and I can't score the sale online then at least I have this.  If I can get all the Target ones  via in-store or online with their sale I will return the ones to BBY.  I set my alarm for 5:30am since I have to be to work at 7am so  I will check target.com once more.

 

From poking around at 1am ( LOL) it appears DK and Diddy might be the hard ones to get.  I do want multiple Boo's though.....  curse this addiction.

 

This will be my first Amiibogeddon where I have not closed on Friday post the February / March 2015 ones.

 

LOL.... 1:30am update, my Wal Mart is arguably across the street from me and I went by there since I am wired right now.... those Boo's are LEGIT.

 

******************

******************

 

2:13 AM, again because I am wired I go back to target.com and YES, the sale is now up online for all the ones I wanted. And because of the sale I elected to get a Dr. Mario and  Mewtwo to have those as sealed ones.  Dr. Mario because he still a Target exclusive and Mewtwo because the one I already have has got some spot on his arm.   Once they all arrive I will most likely return the extras at BBY but I want to see how all the paint jobs pan out before I do all that.

 

Also, in my email I got some mystery BBY Reward Zone coupon to see what kind coupon I might get and I won't know that till I take the printout to the store.   So who knows what the final tally will be....  I really can't double dip immediately at the moment.  And via Target I am talking about $20 less spent.

[purple_beard]

target.com is live for that sale and most likely if you are going for the full set you will have it shipped.  My Target apparently won't have all of them in store so I had the whole lot shipped.

 

Also, it appears they are NOT quantity blocking the purchase but I did not try to select greater than 2.  And on that note, I didn't select two Boos.

Lego Shop @ Home haul arrived today

 

Now, when to build? Could go ahead and do that now, although i could wait until i get more or the remaining expansion packs and go on a building spree later on 

 

Would be somewhat productive

Didn't get the Gremlins, A Team, and ..... packs too?

IN store stocking the Mario wave was hit or miss around town from what my brother told me.  Very spotty stocking.  I am only kind of miffed at BBY in that I couldn't get in-store pick up on DK and Diddy when I placed the order yet when I went there this afternoon to get what I did get they had one of each left.  From what my Brother told me that at Target by 10:30am they had 2 of each left aside from one Daisy left.

 

Ohh well, hope everyone had good hunting.

 

FWIW, Target split up my order into 4 packages LOL.

 

************

************

 

FWIW, Target.com is still taking orders and you can get that promotion--B2G1 Free (and it also includes actual games too! )  However, Diddy and the Boo one are sold out unless a store has them in stock near you.

 

GS still has them all availible
