Canadian Rosalina (and now other Characters Too!) Amiibo Hunting
- Thread starter Holla
- Start date
Man, found one on my local Kijiji, but they only want to trade for another rare Amiibo. I only own Yoshi and Pikachu, no rare ones. Maybe I'll keep an eye out for one today.

Anyone think that EB Games will get in some Shulk today? That's one of the ones the person on Kijiji specifically listed in being willing to trade Rosa for.

Both. I think that guy has a few hundred Rosalina now. As for Nintendo, I think they always knew they were only going to release so many before discontinuing it but they didn't say it until it had sold out everywhere. Another Rosalina is coming out later in the year apparently so that could be why they've stopped making them.
I got super lucky today guys on my Amiibo hunt! (Please click the spoiler to read more as it's very long). 
I will also be updating this thread to promote chat about hunting for all other Amiibos as well for Canadians as other Amiibo pop up in this thread from time to time and the more we can help each other the better! ^.^
So I went on a trip to the nearest city in Southern Ontario. The first store I stopped at was EB Games to see if maybe they'd have some Shulk I could get and use to trade to get Rosa (not ideal but better than the $50 ones online!). I got there right around noon and they didn't have any Wave 3 Amiibos at all! Though the clerk there did say they'd be getting some either later today or tomorrow. He also said he had a guy come in like every 5mins to see if they had gotten the shipment yet lol.
Anyways after that I stopped by Target just for fun as it's in the same mall as EB Games. Thier so-called liquidation sales are just pathetic. They advertise that things are up to 30% but in reality they are usually 10% or still full price! Totally not worth it. They had a few common earlier wave Amiibos still in stock, but they weren't even on sale. They did have a Black 3DS XL 10% off, but that's still almost $180 an ok deal at best.
After Target I went to Walmart. I have a Walmart in my local town, but it's smallish and has a lot more limited stock (still no Wave 3 Amiibos!) and selection so I figured I'd give the big city one a shot. They certainly had a lot more than my local one that's for sure! I first came across a small wall of them hanging up that included a couple of Wave 3s (One DeDeDe and one Ike). In another aisle of the store I found shelves of many more Wave 3 Amiibos including 6-8 Shieks, many Bowsers, a couple Toon Links along with some others, no Rosalina though... After looking around the store a bit at some other products I went back to the small wall of Amiibos just for another look. Just as I began to walk away something in a very pretty blue caught my eye... Right there on the bottom shelf near the floor next to the wall of hanging Amiibos was two Rosalinas!!! ^.^ I couldn't believe it I nearly walked out of there twice while she was sitting there all along!!! xD So I bought one finally! I left the second one as I'm not like those greedy scalpers and figured that I'd help make someone else's day too.
Below is my happy collection now that I have my star. I'm likely stopping at these three as they are my absolute favourites and I'm happy with that. I was really tempted to keep Rosa in her box, but the box was a little rough anyways and I actually use my Amiibo with my Wii U I just got last Boxing Day.
Also Justin, I hope your Walmart gets DDD in soon. As the Walmart I went to had some today (the one hanging on the wall as well as another 2 or 3 sitting beside Rosa).

After my experience of finding like 5 or 6 Targets near me with a handful in stock, that moron just trolled everyone really hard. She's rare because she was exclusive to one store. He probably either didn't order as many as he made it sound, or there were more Rosalina than expected and the frenzy just made her seem more impossible to get than others.
Everyone having that panic attack made it seem like the shipment was only 1,000 for the whole continent and that this butt wipe bought a huge chunk of it. I bet she would have been just as uncommon had this guy never shown up.
There's not exactly black friday trampling over Shulk and he's just as rare if not more so at this point.

Congrats!!
I'll check out my Walmart tomorrow as I don't think anyone here got anything today based on the holiday and reports I read on other sites.

Congratulations! I hope I can find a Rosalina amiibo someday! But I do live in a big city, and a lot of people are probably hunting her too.

I have looked at the different stores in LaSalle (Montr?al) in the last week and found Bowser, Shiek and Toon Link to be readily available at EB Games and Bestbuy. I haven't looked at the Future Shop yet. Target are having a liquidation sale so I snatched a Yoshi figurine with a 10% discount but nobody should expect Wave 3 amiibos from them. Toys R US ran out of Lucarios and Rosalinas in about 20 minutes and completely of wave 3 figurines in a day. I don't know any store that has received Ike, King Dedede, Meta Knight, Mega Man or Sonic yet. Finally Archambault (downtown Montr?al) always seem to run low on stock.

If you have a Walmart I'd try there. Most people (including myself have had their most luck there). I think it's because there's no exact date for when Walmart gets the Wave 3 shipment and every store is different so you just have to hope you stop by not too long after they get a shipment. I haven't seen Meta Knight, Mega Man or Sonic yet either, but I believe no one else has as well. I have seen a few Ike's and King Dededes but only a couple of each (likely somewhat rare to quite rare).

So I went to an EBGames I had been to yesterday looking for a Shulk amiibo and saw that there were still none there. I said "aww man still no Shulk amiibos" and then the Clerk said that they had 2 in stock yesterday. I thought that was odd cause I was there yesterday and saw none, turns out they came in 2 HOURS after I had left! Why does life hate me?

Ugh I live in the city so they're probably gone. I was calling every day last week, did it on Monday this week and forgot yesterday...
Still bussing right now but anyone willing to sell an extra at a reasonable price?

Tell me if they got any Wave 2 or Wave 3 figurines in Walmart LaSalle aujourd'hui.

The Walmart which didn't answer had the lady who doesn't know anything working there (I know cuz I've visited a few times and she's clueless... Apparently she doesn't answer the phone eitherm . I just called again to make sure) I didn't see any rosalinas though. Another Walmart DID answer the phone and said they still haven't received them yet.
And I don't know why you thought I was in LaSalle. I'm not.

Just checked with a 3rd store. Didn't get them in either. Hope they're not lying...

She sure is hard to find... I wish you luck. I was lucky to have 2 Rosalina's at the Walmart I stopped by (I just bought one though and left the other for someone else to buy). I hope you can come by one soon.

Sometimes, he do miss
I wonder how my luck will be when I go ahead and pre-order some of the Wave 3.5* Amiibo's and hopefully I don't have to wait like 2 Months lmao
* = Europe had Wave 3 spread into two releases so...yeh

I haven't read through this whole thread, but has anyone considered preordering from EB games? I honestly hadn't even though about it, but as I was leaving the store today someone mentioned something about amiibo preorders and I was like "oh, duh". They had some wave 3s there, but all the rare ones were picked up by preorder holders.
I'm really only interested in picking up my SSB 4 mains, of which I've got Yoshi, just got Samus (not zero-suit) today (definitely my favourite Amiibo I've seen so far, she looks gorgeous), and now I'm just waiting for Wii Fit Trainer.

I thought so because you quoted me saying you were not looking when things started to happen. I misjudged.
