You weren't specific, plus I've no idea is stores here ever stocked them, seeing as they were available at retail or can only be that the Rep of Irl shops just don't bother getting them in

This is an Irish forum. So stuff in the UK is great an all but irrelevant.

Picked up Cloud Player 2 from CeX earlier for €18 pity it's the advent children version I want Old Guard Cloud

Belfast is up the road, on the island of Ireland.
And not everyone using the forum is either Irish or living in Ireland.
It's irrelevant to you, that's all.

Up the road :pac::pac::pac: It's still the UK.

Newry is about an hour up the road from Liffey Valley on a saturday. That's about how long it takes me to drive home from work. Good luck getting to Cork in that time. (from liffey valley. Not from your house in cork.)

Yeah. It's up the road.
And it's the UK for now - Right Boris? *wink wink*

Doesn't matter, shops can get them in.
Your initial point was that they haven't stocked them in ages.
If shops local to you don't then complain to the manager.

If you have issues with the island of Ireland versus the partitioned state and your ability to go across the border to buy an Amiibo just read Banjos post again.

I'm in Donegal and the nearest shop that would sell Amiibo to my home would be in Tyrone

Its up the road for you.

Is it down the road for you? Do you live on an oil rig? Do you have your own helicopter? What's your callsign when you're entering a new zone of air control, do you get to pick it yourself or is it assigned? If only Game in Belfast had a helipad you'd be sorted but then I suppose we'd never have found out about your cool North sea hangout, so silver linings, eh?

(Translation : it's up the road for a lot of people, so really all you've done is undermine your own position which depends as heavily on subjectivity as mine, but has less percentage of the population in its corner. But i wanna talk about helichoppers, that's more fun - chukkachukkachukkachukka waaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooong)

Only CeX in Newry stocks amiibo no GAME there now, one in Craigavon one in Lisburn and a fair few in Belfast one in Bangor too I believe mostly though they're reservation only for Amiibo if they do have any on the shelf it'll be few and far between.

Belfast has a few spots Smithfield market and Cash Concertors can have a few gems I'll be going up at the end of the month to hunt for stuff.

I think this dead horse has been well and truly beaten

New amiibo out yesterday, anyone get them? Got all 4 for myself: Squirtle, Ivysaur, Link’s Awakening Link, and Snaaaaaaake. Top quality as always. And Link is very shiny and polished looking.

RobbingBandit

Just link very disappointed with what he does but very intrigued to see it.

Bloody travesty from Link's Awakening amiibo support on a whole worst since Xenoblade and Shulk

Ive the Simon and Dark Zelda Pre Ordered since 20 Jun 2019, yet it's new news on Nintendo sites this week, strange.

Anyways 15 Zelda amiibo arrived today from Nintendo UK. Sweet. Gave all 21 of them now boxed along with duplicate of my fav ones on display. Majoras mask one, toon links and BoTW ones all very cool

Gave me a fright there when you said Dark Zelda, thought I'd missed that! I presume you meant Dark Samus :P.

Got the Archer and Rider from BOTW myself as duplicates.

Does anybody know why GameStop haven’t got chrom up for preorder?

Yup dark Samus, face palm!!

Archer is probably the coolest one, I got the large 4 figures one if it too on a whim and it was a great buy as it looks fab!

All 24 Zeldas Whoop, 5 are behind others and 7 duplicates hiding top as well.

Wolverine359

Got Dark Samus and Richter today. Dark Samus is a thing of beauty, the colours almost have a surreal iridescent quality. Anyone else still collecting these? Looking forward to hearing announcements for the Smash Ultimate DLC fighters amiibo (well I do hope they get release dates confirmed for this year anyway).

Im being very subjective about what I buy. Currently only have about 5 or so but plan on getting a few more from different franchises to decorate my games room. Thinking of getting Ken, Pacman and Snake.
All the amiibo I have are zelda related but I have sonic and Mario figurines from other manufacturers. So not gonna bother with their amiibo.

blockfighter

Purchases made.
Edit: tried putting up a photo but no joy. Got Ryu and Snake. £10 each. Free delivery. Happy out.

RobbingBandit

Recently bought Chrom and Celica for €20 each they do very little in three houses

Would anyone know where to pre-order the three new monster hunter amiibo and the mario/peach cat?

Amazon cancelled my mario/peach cat pre order last week I presume over Brexit.

Then I had to cancel the monster hunter pre order on nintendo.co.uk as parcel motel are closed and nintendo don't deliver directly to Ireland.

Are there any alternatives?

I reordered the Cat Mario and Cat Peach amiibos from Amazon, just slightly more expensive with the vat difference now. And the Magnamalo amiibo can be got by preordering the Monster Hunter Rise Collector’s Edition from GameStop (which I’ve noticed has gone up in price from €79.99 to €99.99 ).
