Well technically if a person buys it, they are guaranteed to get ONE of the Amiibos pictured so it's not false advertising. However I can almost guarantee it will not be a Shulk or Meta Knight. What a tool either way.

Well they got 2 commons (Zelda, Diddy) and a potentially common (Toon Link). The rares are a possibility but unlikely. He could have 9 Amiibo, consisting of 3x each Zelda, Diddy, Toon, and the bidder would b3 none-the-wiser. Anything to give the bidder the illusion of getting something rare. If I sell an unopened pack of baseball cards on eBay, there is a likelyhood that if the bidder opens the pack, they may recieve a card worth more than what they paid for the whole lot. How is this any different? Well, only the seller knows if the chances of getting a Meta Knight or Shulk is greater than zero.

Please dont play dumb. You know the difference. Selling an upoened pack of baseball cards isnt being advertised as a random 1/10 chance at a certain amiibo. You are selling an upoened pack of cards. Thats the item. By definition cards are unknown so even the seller has no way of knowing. Not even close to being the same.

Its not debateable. Its a chance listing its against the rules.

Picked up Sonic at TRU this weekend (lots of Sonic and Mega Man at the one I went to) as well as a bunch of Disney Infinity. Mega Man came in the mail from amazon.ca on Friday so a decent figure hall for me.

No signs of any of the rare's though (King Dedede, Meta Knight, Ike, etc). Lots of Mario and Yoshi though.

I was playing the crap out of Kirby and the rainbow curse this weekend (great game imo) and they are constantly reminding you that you can use Kirby, dedede, or meta knight amiibo. Since these are used on at least 2 games I would be willing to be they will keep dedede and meta knight on reprint once they are done with all the waves or at least do another run of them

So now Sonic and Megaman are potentially not that hard to find. I picked up Sonic last week when I camped at TRU. I don't often do this but I was keeping it sealed to use as trade bait. If Sonic turns out to be common, then I guess I'll open it and add it to my shelf. Prolly beat the living crap out of him in Smash since all my other amibo are leveled up too high. I kinda liked his retro stye more. 3D Sonic somehow doesn't feel right.

My local Gamestop got the wave 3 amiibos in today. Only enough for preorders which isn't surprising. Picked up my Mega Man Sonic and King dedede, I didn't have Ike preordered because I'm not interested in him. Only found out they got them because someone on facebook in a minnesota amiibo group said their local gamestop got them in and decided to call mine and to my surprise they had them in! Only thing I heard regarding wave 3 preorders was that automated phone call  that everyone got about Dedede being available for pickup on February 25th a few days ago or so.

reported under chance listing
ABSOLUTELY NO REFUNDS

pretty much black and white. Against ebay rules.

of course no refunds. because 10 people are about to get a zelda or diddy for 30 dollars
 
Looks like the listing got taken down.

Nope it's still up, item no longer available, but 7 sold. So the guy likely ended it after people bought all the commons, most likely, and kept the rares for himself. Unless all the buyers post what they recieved in feedback, we will never know if anyone got a Meta knight or Shulk.

I'm not too worried. I've dealt enough with my local Gamestop, they know me. When I walked in to pick up my Shulks a few weeks back, the dude just asked for my phone # to put in, because he already knew who I was and what I was there for.

Didn't get em today. Apparently Gamestop closed several hours early. Oh well, it was fun getting out in the snow in my 4x4 pickup. Love this thing!

I'll be going out tomorrow for sure, since the temps will be rising tomorrow, melting all this.

More eBay Greed. Someone suggested most resellers were only buying 2x-3x a piece. I beg to differ...

Shulks, get your Shulks here! For the low, low price of $99 a piece. Shipping is extra...

And I had to LOL at this one. Detached Peach Amiibo auction with nice upskirt shot...
