GameStop

GameStop is taking orders for the Shulk amiibo once again. You can grab the figure right here. Hopefully this isn’t like yesterday when Shulk was in stock for all of two minutes! Note that the amiibo won’t ship until May, based on GameStop’s listing.

Over at Gamestop, you can now grab Mario Party 10 amiibo bundle with not only Mario but the rest of the Super Mario line of amiibo as well! It’s pricey, however. It’ll cost you $125.

Note that this isn’t to be confused with the standard Mario Party 10 bundle that only comes with the Mario amiibo.

You can check out the new bundle at Gamestop here.

GameStop is running a promotion in which consumers can obtain $100 for their 3DS XL units and $75 for 3DS/2DS units towards the purchase of a New 3DS XL (through February 15). There’s just one issue: transferring data from one 3DS system to another requires both systems, and can take a decent amount of time to complete.

With that in mind, Polygon spoke with a few GameStop locations in Ohio and learned that there’s a plan in place for the situation. Here’s the full rundown:

  1. Go to GameStop. Purchase a $200 New 3DS XL
  2. Take your system home, go through the transfer process
  3. Take your existing system and your new system back to GameStop
  4. Return your new system for a full refund of $200
  5. Trade-in your existing system for $100
  6. Rebuy your New 3DS XL, use the $100 credit to pay for half the purchase

Not the easiest process in the world, but at least it’s something!

Shulk could end up as one of the rarest – if not the rarest amiibo. The fact that it’s GameStop-exclusive in the U.S. already means that the figure will be tough to find. And outside of pre-orders, it’s sounding like the retailer won’t have much stock.

Destructoid contacted 15 GameStop locations today and was told that they “only have the stock for pre-orders, and don’t know when any additional orders will come in.” That’s on top of a source who informed the site that there will be zero extra stock on-hand.

If you did reserve a Shulk amiibo, there is good news. Some consumers have received texts from GameStop informing them that he’ll be ready for pickup in-store starting tomorrow. Try checking with your local store in the morning if you haven’t heard anything yet!

The red New 3DS XL is no longer available at GameStop. Online stock has sold out, meaning pre-orders are no longer being accepted. Best Buy still has it at least!

Thanks to Caleb for the tip.

Amazon sold out of these amiibo quickly, but rumor has it that the Super Mario figures won’t be rare. We’ll see what happens in the long run!

If you missed out on pre-orders for the Mario Party 10 amiibo on Amazon, you’ll be happy to hear that there is an alternative. GameStop is currently taking pre-orders, and you can reserve a copy right here. There’s no word on how long stock will be available for!
