:siren: :siren: Amazon Wave 4 Availability :siren: :siren:

Thank you for your interest in ordering the new amiibo figures from Amazon.com! Quantities of the new characters are extremely limited, so we'd like to ensure that as many customers as possible have the opportunity to get the new figures!

Throughout the afternoon of Friday, May 29, we'll be posting each Wave 4 amiibo figure individually within the following time windows. Each will become available for purchase at a random time during that time frame. Mark your calendars for the following times this Friday!

Pac-Man: 2:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. PT
Charizard: 2:30 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. PT
Inkling Boy: 3:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. PT
Lucina: 3:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. PT
Wario: 4:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. PT
Inkling Girl: 4:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. PT
Silver Mario: 5:00 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. PT
Robin: 5:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. PT
Inkling Boy, Girl, and Squid 3-pack: 6:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. PT

We're limiting each amiibo figure to 1 per customer, and we'll be disabling 1-Click Ordering. Additionally, it'd be helpful to make sure you've updated your credit card and shipping information to help you move quickly through the checkout process.

We've seen a tremendous amount of interest for the latest wave of amiibo figures and we're always working with Nintendo to get our hands on more. While we cannot guarantee that every customer who wants an amiibo will be able to purchase one when they become available on May 29th, we are doing our best to make sure customers have an opportunity to purchase their favorite characters!

We thank you for your continued support and loyalty over the years.

"Here are the time windows to get the figures you want, non overlapping, and limit one per customer" is about as far from a roulette as you can get.

Was your 3-pack cancelled or have you just not yet got a shipping notice on it?

I am going to try to get the amiibos at 10 am tomorrow after Splatooning all night and if I do not get them that will be okay, because I have a day of Splatooning ahead of me. Jumping through stupid hoops to get amiibos is insane and I am not doing that.

Ouch. I have an order that's still listed as processing...but no shipping confirmation yet. I ordered a Charizard along with the 3-pack to get free shipping and I wonder if that's what's causing a hold up.

Initially the estimated arrival date was June 5th when I chose whatever shipping was cheapest so it's probably just going to take that long.

Huh, they gave me free shipping even on my single Amibos, that's weird. But my Splatoon pack shipped and the order with Charizard didn't, so that could be it. They were placed on the same day, so maybe some just got to the warehouse sooner than others.

Unlocked yes, but the eShop is struggling so it's pretty slow downloading.

Is nintendo world chronically out of amiibos too? I've never been into amiibos but I'd pick up the 3-pack for Splatoon if I could. I work in the city so I could always swing by after work but something tells me I already know the answer to my dumb, dumb question.

They seem to get shipments of rare ones on a pretty regular basis and post about it on Twitter. I have no idea what they look like day to day, I only go there when visiting family in NY, and the last time was just before Amiibos were released.

I'm officially pissed off at you motherfucking digital game buyers for getting to play before me. I apparently have the only halfway decent gamestop (well stocked, friendly + knowledgeable staff) in the universe, so I preordered through them, and also I need the game case to put on my games shelf. They're not doing a midnight release though so I have to wait til tomorrow morning to start inking.

Yeah it's like 10% off one Amiibo. Not great but if you're still looking to fill gaps in your collection could be helpful.

As soon as I hit level 4 I bought a set of gear with what I thought was a good spread of abilities - faster ink refill, lose less special gauge on death, faster swim speed. Then when that gear levelled up the first two also gained swim speed.
