I agree it's area specific. Target seems to have the higher stock of the 3 pack though then Best Buy, Walmart, or Gamestop (not sure about TRU).
The 3 pack will be going up on Amazon shortly though if you want to try your luck there. In fact here is the schedule for anyone interested.
Pac-Man 2:00-2:30pm PDT
Charizard 2:30-3:00pm PDT
Inkling Boy 3:00-3:30pm PDT
Lucina 3:30-4:00pm PDT
Wario 4:00-4:30pm PDT
Inkling Girl 4:30-5:00pm PDT
Silver Mario 5:00-5:30pm PDT
Robin 5:30-6:00pm PDT
Splatoon 3-pack 6:00-6:30pm PDT

we have 2 ness for trade I believe 1 shulk 1 toad 1 gold mario and maybe a greninja
I'd be willing to trade my Jigglypuff for one of the Ness' if you're interested? I was basically just there for moral support for my boyfriend and didn't want any of the ones they had at Target. But since they had 15 Jiggly's and only 13 people in line I figured it couldn't hurt to pick one up for trading.  But that said, total success for me! We snagged Pacman and Wario for the boyfriend this morning and he even impulse bought the Splatoon 3 pack and a cute Splatoon squirt gun. (They were supposed to be preorder exclusives but since our Target had like... 20+ of them they were selling them off for $5 a piece)

I just got back from Walmart. They unfortunately only had Charizard, but still that's one less that I have to try and get tomorrow.
I'm hoping to get Wario and Pacman tomorrow morning but I'm nervous because my Target has super low stock for some reason (only 3 of each!).

I saw somewhere that one TRU was projecting getting in 90+ Greninja's (That is probably a high volume store but still)! So it's sounding like they're going to be a little bit more prepared then they were with Lucario. Hopefully they'll have enough that everyone that is lined up when they open will atleast get one. I'm going to be at Target myself, but thankfully I'm not after anything 'popular' so I'm not super worried. Just going for Pacman, Wario, and Charizard for my boyfriend. It's Palutena I'm worried about in a couple months.  I think there is speculation already that Dark Pit is going to be Best Buy exclusive (And well all know what a GREAT job they did with Meta Knight) so I'm really nervous about Palutena. Probably be an impossible Game stop exclusive or something.

I don't know if Sailor Moon R DVD will be complete. :/ I doubt it BC the cover for season 1 is deceptive. I thought season 1 part 1 was complete till I took it home. )':
http://www.viz.com/sailor-moon R is definately being split into 2 parts as well. The convention I was at two weekends ago had Season 2 (R) Part 1 up for preorder with the special limited coin. I also know they have every intention of eventually bringing out all of the seasons (likely in two parts) because in the Viz panel discussion they were discussing how the big boxes for the limited releases were all supposed to mesh color wise and look really pretty together when all is said and done. (Season 1 is pink, Season 2 will be a peachy orange, etc etc). And Sailor Moon Crystal is going to have the same exact voice cast as the people working on the redubbing of the original series on Hulu. They've actually already begun working on it, though I'm not sure how long until it's supposed to come out. I'm really hoping Crystal will come in a single set and not in parts.

The only thing that should 'add to your balance' on Paypal is transfering some money there yourself or having someone else transfer money there. The money you have available on your bank account, debit card, or any credit cards linked to it aren't actually shown as funds available on the site. But when you make a purchase and choose the card as your payment source it will pull the money from the linked source.

8 of the Walmarts in my area got another box (of 4) Gold Mario amiibos today, so it seems like some are actually restocking it! So if you're still looking for it check online. It doesn't look like you can order it online but you can confirm if they have it in stock.

I'm part of a Sailor Moon trading/selling group and there is just something going on with Japanese mail right now. I've heard it has to do with the port strike and I've heard it has to do with storms, but almost every package coming from Japan over the past month or so seems to be extremely lagging. Even packages from companies that often ship very quickly and efficiently are taking a week or even weeks longer then usual. Unfortunately we're all just kind of stuck and it's causing some of the Japanese sellers a lot of stress.
If you want to buy another that's up to you, but your item should eventually arrive as the Japanese post office catches up.

I went ahead and picked one up for my boyfriend. It was a really nice experience (probably because we're a smallish store/rural area).
Basically got there at 11:30 and asked the electronic guy about them. He said he couldn't find them and would go hunt for them. So the poor guy got to search and search for like 20 minutes. In the mean time a tiny line formed. My Walmart had 8 so I was able to get the one for my boyfriend and the 3 guys each bought 2 leaving 1 behind to be put out on the shelf. Funny enough we were the ones that informed the Walmart people that there was a 2 per person limit.
I've been really lucky in my particular town, everyone was very friendly and reasonable for both Rosalina and Gold Mario. It was when I went to bigger towns for things like Meta Knight and Lucario that I ran into the jerks. T_T

That email that went out was a mistake. Walmart has officially confirmed that it will be releasing the Gold Marios on the 20th. If it's a 24 hour Walmart they'll be released at midnight, if it isn't they'll be released whenever the store opens in the morning.
Of course not every Walmart is getting them, as mentioned.
I actually think it's really ugly so I won't be going for Gold Mario, but I hope everyone that is going after it the best of luck. There have been a TON of online preorders so I'm thinking this might not be as terribly rare as people are thinking it's going to be.

They showed that Cruella had magic in the first episode she was in. She breathed that green mist that mind controlled the bugs and her dogs. So it seems like she can control animals. I mean I don't know what they're planning to do with her backstory wise since I imagine it will be much different than 101 dalmations, but in this incarnation she definately does have magic. And I personally love her attitude. I mean really how bad of a person do you have to be to be PROUD of your blood diamonds.

If people are looking for Sonic or Megaman they seem to be popping up at Walmarts here and there. You can check on Walmart.com to see if they have them at a store near you!

I'll just copy and paste the nice little message I posted on Best Buy's facebook page in regards to my experience. >w< My experience with Best Buy and it's Meta Knight exclusive have me hoping you guys never ever get another exclusive amiibo.
Yesterday I attempted to call 4 different stores in an attempt to find out if any of them would have extra, non preordered, ones available today. Of those 4, 2 never even answered, simply leaving me on hold for hanging up on me after 10 minutes.
I decided to take a chance with the two that I did hear from though. So I wake up at 6am so that I can leave by 6:30 to go try and get a Meta Knight.
Arrive at Best Buy in Edwardsville at 7 am. I set my butt down on the cold ground and huddle up under a blanket and proceed to wait (willing to wait 3 hours for this stupid toy). The people there were champs. I had 3 different people check on me (or more so: check why some crazy hobo was sitting in front of their store in the bitter cold). And at one point the manager even propped open the door and told me I could come in and sit inside. So I thanked him and moved inside. He asks what I was there for, disappears, and a minute or two later reappears saying their store only has enough to fill preorders and no extras. He was super apologetic and kind. I thanked him and left A++ Edwardsville Best Buy.
I proceed to the Best Buy in Bridgeton. I get there at 8:30am and because of the parking lot setup am able to sit in my car watching the door. I finally get nervous around 9am and go stand at the door, immediately followed by 3 more people. In the end I think we had between 10 and 12 people standing there by opening at 10am. Not once did anyone in that Best Buy acknowledge us. No information. No ticket system. So despite the fact that I was first in line TWICE today, I did not get the stupid toy I was after because people behind me rushed over and grabbed the total of 3 that the store had. I've heard that the stores have been flooded with requests and inquires, so it's not a surprise that there were going to be a lot of people for a crazy limited quantity. If you saw that many people outside and knew you only had a couple items maybe you should have ticketed the item. You guys practically INVENTED the Black Friday ticketing procedure.
The whole event has soured and wasted my day.
All I have to say is that Best Buy better have more Meta Knights up for online ordering or future shipments otherwise I'm marking off my list of places to shop for video gaming supplies. I also checked 2 best buys, 2 walmarts, 1 target, and 1 gamestop today. Still not Sonics, Megamans, or anything newish other than Sheik, Toon Link, and Bowser.

Most of them are having staggered releases. Not really sure why, but in my case I'm kind of happy because if I don't get them on the 13th I have another chance on the 20th.
