ugh. called walmart yesterday *still* haven't gotten it in. I don't know if it's true, or they got it in, sold out , and the employees just don't know anything about it. (I DO drop by when I can as well to check the shelves...) Giving them a call again now.

Is your Walmart a smaller one like I have one in the town I live in, or is it a large city one? Because I only found Rosalina at the Walmart in a city I visited, and none at the Wlamart in my hometown. My hometown one was also slower on getting the Wave 3 shipment period nevermind never actually getting any Rosalina's. I did see one Megaman there today, and correct me if I'm wrong but he's said to be rare too, isn't he?
Congrats! I myslef have only ever seen one Mega Man in a store. I bought the more common Peach and Diddy King today though as I'm not a huge Amiibo collector and I only buy characters that I know a lot about and unfortunately Mega Man isn't one. Nice find though! ^.^

He's a pretty cool looking Amiibo in person with his metallic blue colour.

I'm in the city (Toronto). there are 3 within reasonable distance that I can bus to. I've been calling at least 1 a day. (I usually call 2 or all 3) and Stop by sometimes.
I'm starting to think they're not going to get them in at all... I have exams starting tomorrow so I won't be able to check as often...

When you have exams, that seems like the time when they might ACTUALLY get them in. This amiibo hunting is a nightmare...
Agreed, glad I decided to not try to collect every single one. Just getting my favourites has been tough.

I'm going to stop checking now. Rosalina finally appeared on the walmart webpage. and it's sold out online and says not sold in stores. =( I guess i'll just import. Unless someone can tell me a retailer that still hasn't gotten it yet. (but I believe all of them have =( )

My mum works at the electronics department at a Walmart. She says they have gotten only two or three Rosalina amiibos and they were all bought by employees on their break. Although I have seen the best selection of amiibos at Walmart, you may not have a lot of luck finding a Rosalina there unless they've had multiple shipments. I've also worked at a Walmart in the past and I have to say they usually hire people that are in-the-know about gaming and movies in the electronics department, and though employees aren't allowed to hide or horde stock for themselves, if it's something like a Rosalina amiibo, they're probably gonna go on break as soon as it's on the floor and scoop it up.
Also, Walmart employees don't know when items will come in, in any department. At least not the regular sales associates. You can try asking to speak to the electronics department manager, who may know a bit more (but they also might genuinely not). It's really up to home office when things get shipped to the separate stores. Don't give up on checking Walmart, but I would think you may have better luck with Future Shop or Best Buy.

Also, it's worth noting that Gold Mario amiibo will be not only available on Wal-Mart, but other Canadian retailers as well on April 10th. If gold stuff is your thing, go ahead and take a tour on these stores.

Why are they increasing prices in Canada 0.0 I kind of want the gold mario amiibo so before I head to school I'm gonna go to walmart and see if I find anything
It's increasing in Canada because the Canadian dollar is exteremly low right now. Once the company converts the Canadian price into American it's hardly anything in comparison. Therefore the company isn't getting as much money out of Candians as they are Americans. This is even possibly happening with Apple iPhones too. I heard that just in Canada they were thinking about upping the price of each iPhone model by $100 to compensate for our low dollar.
If you can help it try to buy from Canadian websites and sellers as I bought a tshirt from the States that was $25 US and after the exchange rate, shipping and duty came to $58!!! :O I had to buy it then though as it was almost sold out and it could only be bought off that site if you live outside of the USA. :/

Though I don't collect Amiibo (at the moment at least lol, but I do have Pikachu) I do pay attention to what Amiibo are rare and whatenot. In Canada I have heard people having a hard time finding Meta Knight, since he's a best buy exclusive but I keep seeing him at the best buy closest to me lol.

Do you guys know if the villager Amiibo is ever gonna come back? I wanted to get it but it's so rare >.<
As far as I'm aware no. It was a part of those single shipment Amiibos like Rosalina and others so once they are sold out that's seems to be it unfortunately. :/ There is always a slim chance that they could send out another shipment, but unless they make an Animal Crossing game for Wii U that has support for him I'd say no, as his main use is for Smash Bros and that's mainly it. :/ I too would like to see him back but I'm not gonna dwell on it too much.

Aww that sucks. I may get the Yoshi Amiibo, but I'm not sure yet. I don't have a Wii U or a New 3DS, so I can't exactly use the Amiibo yet anyways. I can't wait for Amiibo support for 3DS. Is there any news on that anyways?
