A few of you have contacted me to say that Amazon UK have delayed your Shulk amiibo pre-orders. If you look at Twitter you’ll see that this has happened to quite a few people who are rather miffed at being offered £2 as compensation for the delay. The company says it will have more stock in June, which is quite a way away.
Thanks, MasterPikachu6, Marie and Ben
BestBuy gave people $50. This… This is really sad.
That was for the system. Why would they give more than the item is actually worth?
For an Amiibo? Not likely…
And if by any chance it is, then they must be incredibly stupid…
What self respecting, grown “man” would purchase Amiibo??? That’s the biggest question of all. Sad, sad, man-children. Liking Nintendo is already putting your manhood at risk, but buying the toys aimed for little children? And then throwing all sorts of fits over the inability to secure these toys???? Truly pathetic! You too are a pathetic fool, Meatball.
Calling yourself a Man is the worst thing you can do as a Male Human is the worst life-form in this sector and probably the whole Milky Way Galaxy…
I agree, Commander. Most guys who think of themselves as real men are just assholes, to be blunt. Not to mention, anyone who thinks that a person shouldn’t buy toys just because they’re not a kid is also an asshole.
I guess they weren’t really feeling it…
Oh well. I’m getting Megaman today.
Well, once again Nintendo amiibo supply is laughable.
I’d rather blame Nintendo..
I thought stock issues were caused by the West Coast Port Strike?
What kind of excuse are they going to make up for this one, I wonder.
I thought Shulk was a gamestop exclusive?
In America
GAME UK cancelled my Shulk amiibo that I pre-ordered at the start of December too. They didn’t offer any apology or sympathy.
Funny how the header pictures says ‘Shulk foresees a fight!’ because I’m sure there are quite a few people ready to do just that over this. xD
Honestly, this whole ‘lack of supply, wait for what you want thing’ has gotten old and stale. I don’t know what or who’s to blame, but I do really lean toward it being Nintendo’s fault for this.
I just can’t see how there could be so many cancelled preorders for already purchased products, so many months given to waiting for more of what has been preordered but not cancelled, a lack of proper supply for what will obviously be in general demand, and a butt ton of other scenarios.
As previous people before me has stated, Nintendo looks to not want to make any money. This has been going on for far too long. Short supply, lack of supply…I’m tired of hearing about it. Stop limiting stock, and if that’s truly not what you guys are doing, do whatever it is you are doing differently, and soon please.
Because now even true fans are starting to get a little irritated and how could they not? We love you Nintendo, now we need you to get this sloppy act together and bring us more of what you can obviously see that we want from you guys, so that in turn we can go back to being the happy and close knit group we used to be. :P
I could deal with the Holy Trinity being gone, i could deal with wave 2, But wave 3 has been the worst. Only 1, bowser, out of 11 is readily available and that makes me mad. I dont want to collect all of them, i only have 4, But i do want fans to at least get the chance to purchase the one amiibo they want, regardless of rarity.
I saw Sheik, Bowser, Toon Link, and a few others on the shelves at Walmart. Of course that doesn’t mean that they are on the shelves where you live..
yeah I thought about that west coast excuse, but if that’s the case, how come everyone has bowser and some have toon link but no one else in that new wave is found anywhere? seriously so it’s obvious that this union is not the main problem nintendo or how would all these stores have bowser and toon link. I mean what did they just fly all the bowsers and toon link over by plane, and then everyone else by boat? unlikely and it’s just as bad in other places.
Oh man…
I’m really feeling it.
(Not really. I already have mine.)
Game UK offering 50% code off any amiibo (can only be used against only one) for cancelling my Shulk amiibo. Only crap ones in stock though.
Got my shulk amiibo a day early :)
this can’t be happening…wtf? wrong sentence. actually its’ happening! :’D
they should stop that amiibo bullshit
Nintendo mangrd to fuck amiibo up as well. The last time they had a decent launch was the Wii.
There hasn’t been that many in between -_-
Is this shortage also due to the west coast union? -_-
I ordered mine in November last year. We’ll see if I get one tomorrow…
It’s the same for Dedede and Neta Knight too. All delayed :(
I got my pre-ordered Shulk several days ago. So did my brother and niece.
