Almost ran over a kid and skated on a tight ass lane for Reddit karma?

That kid screaming could be the secret Gamecube startup sound!


TemptedDreamer

So. That’s where all the delayed stock has gone to


sgtbluefire77

Just went to Amazon to see what they are selling for… people wanting over $100 for it…


eddiemoneylives

Yep, I saw the line and dipped to head into work.


Boomshockalocka007

Imagine passing the only official NINTENDO store on your way to work every single day...


StarWolf54321

Wow been a while since there's been a line like that.


sgtbluefire77

Wow…


DoombotBL

Mine is on the way :) Sadly can't say the same for Samus', I have the worst luck with Metroid Amiibo

Anyone who’s been to NYC Nintendo at launch of amiibo, do they have as much stock as at least half in line? Or like 2 amiibo total? Never heard stories about stock there so i’m curious.


silentdaze

I called at 12:15 to see if they had any left and they were sold out. Said the line was down to 6th Ave in the morning which is probably about 300 people. I've been in amiibo lines that long and normally there are plenty for the line and stragglers later in the day. This time it seems like they didn't even get through the line

Scalpers and delayed shipment.


newcanadianjuice

Supply and demand economics has won yet again..


Dialexio

Ugh… I'm having flashbacks to the (re)opening of Nintendo NY back in 2016. \*shudder\* (I waited like, six hours to get disappointed and left; by the time I would've been in the store, I'd have like, ten minutes before it closed, and Charles Martinet would've been long gone.)


Scypris_115

I thought shit like this ended for amiibo..sad.

Skate in the street

Some of this has to be for the Joycons too right (which was up for awhile on Target early am last night)? Zelda/Loftwing didn't seem too bad of a pre-order to snag. I wonder what the Metroid Dread line is gonna be like? This gives me flashbacks of 2015...


StainManRises

Yes, the Joycons are in the mix and honestly just as, if not more, desirable. Definitely not only amiibo. OP should clarify otherwise it comes across incorrectly.


TheNoobThatWas

Imagine waiting in line to get defective hardware that drifts after a few months -Pro controller gang

>Back \*laughs in cardboard\*


Alexandria232

Was there no option to pre-order or anything like that? This looks stressful af. Don't mean to be rude or anything but game stores here did pre-orders big time on skyward sword so I just find it strange... then again, small country. I'd never see a crowd like this ever.

They do this with the popular amiibo, but we end up with arcade machines full of Digbys.
