GameStop memo says latest amiibo will be distributed in waves

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments

Keeping track of amiibo launches can be tricky. Release dates are far from exact, so it can be tough to judge when new amiibo are coming to stores.

In the case of GameStop, the latest amiibo will be distributed in waves. Bowser is coming on February 6, followed by Sheik, Shulk, Toon Link, Ike, and King Dedede on February 13. Mega Man and Sonic close things out on February 20.

It should be noted that GameStop’s dates are estimated – meaning figures could technically arrive a bit sooner and later. Once a store receives stock, they can sell it immediately. This may very well be the case with other retailers as well.

GameStop accepting payments for lost Majora’s Mask New 3DS XL pre-orders, more stock may arrive on Tuesday

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in New Nintendo 3DS, News | 3 Comments

Some GameStop pre-orders for the Zelda: Majora’s Mask New 3DS XL were a bit screwy this week. Certain consumers experienced issues checking out and were unable to complete their order, yet still received an email confirmation.

It turns out that GameStop’s payment system encountered problems. While the handheld was reserved, consumers will have until the end of business day on Monday to pay for it. Systems that aren’t claimed will reenter GameStop’s system on Tuesday.

If you were one of the people who encountered a similar situation, be sure to pay as soon as possible. As for those who still want a Majora’s Mask New 3DS XL but haven’t been able to get an order in, be on the lookout on Tuesday.

GameStop says Zelda: Majora’s Mask New 3DS sold out within 15 minutes online, in-store pre-orders could be gone as well

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in New Nintendo 3DS, News | 56 Comments

This information comes from a GameStop spokesperson:

“Online, the [Majora’s] Mask bundle sold out within 15 minutes. However, customers can still order one by visiting any of our stores. This order will have to be paid in-full at a store, and can be shipped to the customers home, rather than having to go to the store for pick-up.”

Not so fast there, GameStop! There are rumors going around that in-store pre-orders are gone as well. You may need to look at another retailer for this special New 3DS system!
