But isn't wave 4 supposed to released at the end of this month on the 29th. in the US?

Also, how do you know what the earliest date is that you can pre-order a new wave? People are saying I'm to late for wave 4 and their mostly sold out already. Yet when I talk to a retail employee they don't even know when it will be available to pre-order, and this is the response I got at several retail stores. It's left me very confused

[Darth Helmet]

That is a good question. The only thing that I can suggest is as soon as the figures are announced for wave 5 is to contact your local store and see when you can place a pre-order.

I found another site that said wave 4 would be in stores on may 29th.

Yeah, May 29 is the next wave's release date in the the US. It's really confusing. I don't know if my local store associates simply don't have a clue about them or what. I also have some from the September and July wave that I want that I think might sell out quick, but no one will let me pre-order it. People online are telling me that they've already sold out. If that's the case, I don't get why the retail workers couldn't tell me that. They looked them up and said their just not available yet and I can pre-order it. As it stands it looks like I'm going to have to just run to the stores the day each new wave comes out and hope I can find what I"m looking for. I don't feel like that's going to get very good results.

Also, NOA says Meta Knight, Marth, and Ike, and more will be hitting stores again in small supplies over the next few days. This is what their Facebook status's said.

"Heads up! Marth and a few other amiibo like Meta Knight and Ike will be hitting shelves in limited quantities over the next few days.
For more information on timing and availability, be sure to visit your local retail stores or check out their websites."

I picked up a Marth at GS a few days ago. Running across a Meta Knight at Best Buy would be great too.

Well the new wave comes out tomorrow, and I have no idea if I have a chance at getting any of them. Also wondering when they will announce a more specific release date than July for wave 5 in NA.

Good luck. My target only got 4 Robins and 4 Lucinas. Not looking forward to tomorrow. Anyone know if Walmart puts theirs out at midnight?

Thanks. Good luck to you to! Here is Amazon's schedule http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node...d_i=B00V86BRK2. I bet the stock is ridiculously low, but it's an avenue to try.

Thanks. Saw that list on CAG. 30 minute intervals is a killer.

My target is getting 12 silver marios and 24 jigglypuffs. Would love to get a greninja from TRU but can't get there at opening.

Have they already done pre-orders for the Yarn Yoshis? I can't seem to find info anywhere.

I don't know where you live, but in NA no. They don't even have anything more specific than Fall 2015 on their website.

Yeah I think I am just going to live dangerously, and try and get what I want through Amazon. Where I live the local stores never have a descent stock, and I only want a few. I would like to know when wave 5 will become available for pre-order since I want those more.

[d_dozen]

Ugh. My Walmart only got pacman and charizard. Only 4 of each. I was third in line. Limit one of each per person.

[Darth Helmet]

My one Walmart got none in (according to the manager who is an idiot) and the other Walmart only had 3 Pacmans left.

[Starpower67]

Wow guys that sucks. They still have a ways to go to fix the shortage issues.

[Darth Helmet]

I'm going to try my luck at my two Targets in the morning.

[d_dozen]

Yea, target for me in the morning. Wish I could hire Danny Ocean and his crew. I'm sure they would come up with a great plan to get me all the amiibos.

[Darth Helmet]

That would be awesome.
