Title: Amiibos: Gotta Catch 'Em All.
Post by: larryinc64 on December 02, 2014, 04:03:52 PM
I should be getting my shipment of the rest Amiibos in today, I have the complete series 1 minus Marth.
In fact I have all preorderd minus Marth.
Does anyone know if they have a local store with one in stock, and is willing to not gouge the price like all of eBay?

Didn't know Marth was hard to find. I swear I've seen him in a few Columbus Ohio stores. I'll keep an eye out.
Title: Re: Marth Amiibo?
Post by: larryinc64 on December 02, 2014, 04:27:00 PM
Thanks,
Marth and Villager seem to be the rarer ones.

I didnt preorder any. I price matched toys r us at walmart on the day of release for 9 of them and then the wii fit trainer, villager and marth i had to order from the toys r us website that same day.

I hope I dont ever have to regret not pre-ordering them.

For some reason, toys r us had like 100 Kirby's stacked in a bin by themselves. I kmow for sure I saw Villager recently, 80% sure Marth too. I guess Marth will be my first "friend".

As said above, If anyone could grab one for me, that would be appreciated.
I can pay for it plus shipping on Paypal.

I'll post a review of the ones I have when the rest ship in, if anyone is interested..

So I went to two Targets, Meijer and finally found two Marths at Wal-Mart today.

I just spent $100 on two marths from ebay kinda angering they're so damn hard to find. But I do have two sets now. A sealed bundle and a sealed steel book they're all going off to get gradded in January.

 :o  That sucks, why does Nintendo not like money.

I have a spare bundle I'm probably going to sell off soon. I got it after accidentally ordering 2, and I'm just waiting to see if I'm going to need it before selling.

I'm glad I picked up all the ones I did, I have them all preorderd, minus Roseilina. Are they discontinued in japan?

The articles I've read seem to indicate Nintendo only made so many of certain ones.  And once they're gone, there is no intention to make more.  So I assume that is global.  Some, ie Mario, Link, Samus, etc, are going to stay in circulation.  But the more obscure characters are not produced long term...makes me think I should actually pre-order Meta Knight.
Title: Re: Marth Amiibo?
Post by: oatmeal flavor on December 09, 2014, 05:58:04 AM
Larryinc64 you seem to be the resident amiibo expert, any advice on what to get pre ordered now.  I did pre order meta knight and shulk but was to late on the toys r us one.
Title: Re: Marth Amiibo?
Post by: larryinc64 on December 09, 2014, 10:47:27 AM
Try for Lucario in a store.
I'd say preorder all the ones you would want, just to be safe. I have the entire set preordered, minus Roseillina.

Main characters like Mario, Luigi, Pikachu, Zelda, Link, Samus, ect. Will be the most common, side characters like Villager, Fire Emblem, probably Captain Falcon, Pit, Sonic, ect are probably going to be the ones short stocked and discontinued when the next wave comes out.

I can see why, I doubt retail stores can keep 50 different ones of these things in stock at the end.
Title: Re: Marth Amiibo?

I can't preorder meta knight it's nots on bestbuy.ca. If anyone can get me three of them shoot me a pm I also need three lucairo.

They aren't on BB.com either, otherwise I'd get you taken care of.  If you can find somewhere else in the US that will let me pre-order, then shoot me a FB message and I'll get em for ya ;)

Post by: BadChad on December 09, 2014, 03:25:58 PM
I have every Amiibo accept Villager right now. Picked them all up on launch but my EB Games only got 8 villagers which were all gone before I could grab one. Figured we'd be getting more but that doesn't seem to be the case since we haven't received any more Amiibo's since the initial shipment. If anyone happens to see one, I'd be more than happy to cover cost and shipping.
Title: Re: Marth Amiibo?
Post by: Retro Deckades on December 09, 2014, 06:03:11 PM
I've had an internal struggle with amiibo since they launched. I have decided that I'm only going to buy amiibos that either a) really appeal to me, or b) are a very good value. By value I mean they will be compatible with several games. If I'm lucky, those two reasons will sometimes overlap.

In all honesty, the only amiibo that I was really interested in from Series 1 was Wii Fit Trainer. Sadly, I just couldn't look past the horrible clear cast they added to her leg to better attach her to the base. I went back and forth on it for days, knowing full well that the stock on Amazon would eventually run out. She's no longer available, but I'm not too torn up about it.

I am, however, looking forward to several upcoming amiibos, and have pre-ordered all that I can (the two retailer exclusive amiibos I want are not yet up for pre-order in Canada). I am definitely picking up Little Mac, Mega Man, King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Shulk.

I've gone back and forth on Shulk as he is also a victim of an ugly (albeit clear) base support, but I love Xenoblade Chonicles, and I assume I will never see another Shulk action figure. I also must say, the packaging for some of these figures looks fantastic. You can see them all on Nintendo's amiibo website.

I keep hearing conflicting reports about the future of these limited amiibos. I guess the latest is that they are likely discontinued. BadChad, I am also in Canada, so I will keep an eye out for a Villager for you.

What amiibos is everyone else looking forward to?

Here's a suggestion: Now that larryinc64 has been successful in finding his Marth amiibo, perhaps we should rename this topic and make it the official amiibo thread? Unless there is already one which I am unaware of...

Edit:
Ok.  Just read up on it.   What I don't understand is, why, if these seem so far removed from anything I collect gaming wise, and such a gimmick, do I now want to have them?  I can't see myself actually using them.  I don't even like smash bros!

I know, right?! They aren't very functional (at least not yet), but they are oddly compelling. It'll likely make Nintendo a truckload of money, too. I wonder how long it'll be until we see Sony or Microsoft jump on the NFC figurine bandwagon...

Post by: sniperlobster on December 09, 2014, 10:41:26 PM
I have them all so far (as well as Wave 2 & 3 preordered) and I love them. It gives me that nostalgia feel that I had since the first smash bros always wanting a toy of these figures when I was younger and being able to hold those trophies in my hand. The only thing Nintendo needs to figure out IMO now is a way to backup the data of our Amiibos so we can use them on different games that need to save to it when they come out and restore them when we want to use them with other games. However I have a feeling that'll never happen and we'll have to buy more than one of particular figures in different poses like the one that was on Nintendo Europe's site under the Mario Kart heading:

I'm starting to get a little nervous. I was recently perusing the amiibo on Amazon.ca, and noticed that you can no longer pre-order Little Mac. Thankfully I pre-ordered one, but it wasn't all that long ago... I hope they have enough for me!

Speaking of amiibo being sold out, Nintendo REALLY needs to get their act together regarding informing people about the availability of these things. There have been so many mixed messages from different branches of Nintendo about whether or not amiibo have been discontinued.

Haly sheet! Sorry for the double post, but this is urgent news for those interested. Big day for amiibo!

I had read a post on the Canadian CAG website about Nintendo possibly removing the street date for the latest wave (originally set to be December 12th), so I popped into Wal-Mart at 7:30 this morning on my way to work, and lo and behold, they have two Little Macs and two Diddy Kongs out on the shelf.

I grabbed myself a Little Mac to ensure I that would have one. I contemplated getting Diddy Kong as well, as he looks very cool despite the orange stand, but I talked myself down off of that ledge.

I have read that the Gamestop Exclusive Shulk will be pre order only.  Then all others will be opened and sold "used" at a marked up price.  Sort of like they did with Xenoblade.  Just a rumor, but I would not put it past them.

Just two but I couldent resist ordering a bunch since they're a best buy exclusive. I also preordered 6 Shulk from GameStop I'm missed lucairo tho. I had to buy a second sealed bundle since the first one I bought came damaged in shipping. Ebay let me keep it and gave me a refund :) I just bought a second mint one to grade. I'm to lazy to post pics it's on Instagram if you wanna see.

I'm just waiting for Shulk to go up for pre-order in Canada. I check several times a day. If and when he goes live, I'll be sure to post an announcement here, so that N64 Guy can order 36 of them.  ;D

In case you forgot, he's already available for pre-order in America.

I still need to preorder one for Arseen.
I'll probably do it after art class.

I'm starting to hate exclusives an Limited Edition things.
Just release it so whoever wants it can buy it. Why have it sell out months before it's even out. And all it does is bread people who buy out the entire stock to price gouge on eBay, taking it out of the hands of people who just want it, and forcing people to hoard to make sure they can get it. It's like a mini Black Friday.

Demand for the rarer amiibo would not be outweighing the stock if only collectors and people who actually wanted them were the ones who were buying them. If opportunists didn't see amiibo as a chance to make money by reselling them, they wouldn't be nearly as hard to find. I like to believe this, anyway.

Also, I am a weak man. Popped into the Wal-Mart again on my way to work this morning, thinking that if they had a Diddy Kong left, I would purchase it. I really quite liked the look of that figure, minus the yellow stand (which isn't very noticeable). At first, it looked as though he was sold out. However, I found one tucked behind a Kirby figure. I took this as a sign, and purchased it immediately. So now I have two amiibo.

I might do that, just to be safe... but I do not want to be charged if I pre-order it and then cancel. EB Games often carries GameStop's products, so I will keep an eye on their website.

EDIT: I decided to pre-order on GameStop.com. Damn, $15.00 to ship that little amiibo to Canada -- that's more than the cost of the figure! Still really hoping that EBGames offers this...

Post by: Retro Deckades on December 13, 2014, 11:31:10 AM
As the trophies are based on the character trophies in Smash Bros., I really only anticipate wanting one or two others after wave three -- unless other characters end up looking so good in their packaging that I cannot resist, like Diddy Kong.

I have a sinking feeling that Zero Suit Samus will be a retailer exclusive, but if I end up having to pre-order her from the Hooters gift shop, so be it.

I wish Nintendo would get their stuff together and not give a wishy-washy answer as to whether their will be any more figures produced.

Lucario is Toys R Us, I would just go and preorder it in a store, or import from Japan.

Did anyone preorder Wave 2 from Amazon? I received my Little Mac, Diddy Kong and Zelda shipped but no word on the other 3 yet. I was just curious if anyone was in the same boat as me.
Title: Re: Amiiibos: Gotta Catch 'Em All.
Post by: larryinc64 on December 16, 2014, 10:58:05 PM
Wave 2 seems to be releasing in 2 parts. I got Diddy Kong in, and the other 2 are slotted to ship soon. They are also poping up in stores.

Luigi seems to have poped up as well. It seems like there is irregular releases per store.

That's really strange, what is going on Nintendo!?

My EB Games got our Wave 2 on schedule. What's weird is the quantities we were sent. We received 5 cases (4 Amiibos per case) of Zelda, 2 cases of Little Mac, and only 2 Diddy Kong! Just 2, one of which I bought.

BTW, pre-orders for Shulk just went up today at EB Games for my fellow Canadians. Might be the same over at Game Stop if it isn't already.

I've seen all the wave 2 amiibo here in California, and all the exclusives are open for preorder, it seems Lucario and Rosalina are already sold out, but I managed to get Shulk and Meta Knight in time.

I think you just cant preorder it yet, all Wave 3 Amiibos are the same, I doubt the entire set is sold out.

Post by: Superchop on December 17, 2014, 07:15:07 AM
I managed to preorder Lucario but the site went a long while where it didn't allow me to do so :/  I remember that one day it let me put it into the cart then when I finalized the sale and had my card charged toyster r us removed him last second.   I ended up cancelling the order.  The next day I went back on to preorder as much of wave 3 as I could and lucario was back up for sale...lol I ordered it as quick as I could and now just hoping for the best.

I think they open and close his preorder so they don't get bombarded and oversell?

Meta knight, I managed to preorder too but they didn't allow shipping and I have to travel a bit to another store to pick him uo...I think with meta each store is expecting a specific amount and only allow enough preorders for that.

I've been checking Target and Toys R Us regularly online, in case they do go back up (or up at all). I asked the electronics employee at target and she told me they couldn't take pre-orders in store, and that Nintendo actually sent them a letter saying that supplies were low and they would be getting small shipments every now and then.

Also, has anyone else had luck with Walmart? It appears that they are the only retailer that didn't break the wave 2 street date, as my local walmart (along with walmart's online store) says that Zelda is coming out on the 18th, as originally scheduled. Although the only wave 2 amiibo they have listed online are Zelda (12-18), Luigi(12-31) and Diddy(12-31), no Little Mac, Captain Falcon, or Pit.

Post by: larryinc64 on December 17, 2014, 10:07:14 AM
Walmart HAD those 3, but I guess they old out.  :-\ That is where my pre-order is from.
So Far:
Zelda & Little Mac Arrives by Wed, Dec 24, Pit & Falcon -Your order is being processed. Arrives by Tue, Jan 6

I got the cheep 6 day shipping. So minus 6.

It seems Preorderd should go up today for Roes Reddit Post (http://www.reddit.com/r/amiibo/comments/2pj9iw/rosalina_luma_possibly_available_for_preorder/)
EDIT: NO, Looking more, it was up for like 5 minutes  >:( . There are already price gougers.

I was in the Reddit thread looking at it all morning, went to make breakfast for about 10 minutes came back and missed it. Absolutely ridiculous. Rosalina is the only one I don't have a preorder on right now. I'm still hoping that these store exclusives are "timed exclusives"

If you can secuere me a (And probaly others) a Rose/Luma, that would be much appreciated.


I just placed a pre-order at Play Asia for the Jap Versions of Rose/Luma. $20 with $15 shipping. Ouch.
I tacked on Lucario, it did not increase shipping much, and If it came down to this, I could probably sell the US Lucario to cover costs a bit.
I would prefer to just get a US Rose/Luma without the hassle, I can always cancel my preorder there.

Why did they make them limited? Skylanders and Disney Infinity aren't like this are they? I only have the 3 that came with Spyro's Adventure and I never bought any Infinity or other Skylanders version yet, so I don't know for sure.

The difference with those games is that they require the figures in order to play as the characters.  Amiibo are not required to use the character, they just add a little something extra, kind of like DLC.

I know what they are, just wondering why Nintendo made them hard to collect. I'm not jumping thru hoops for these stupid toys. If I can't just casually pick em up here and there, for regular price or less, then I don't want em.

Matter of fact, if they will never be regular "always in stock", I'll probably get rid of Marth, the only one I have. Don't even like Fire Emblem.

Apparently certain Skylanders were quite difficult to find at times. And as Megatron said, these aren't required to play the game, so they're not really essential. Nintendo also likely doesn't have the infrastructure to mass produce 49 different amiibo characters for long periods of time, especially since they probably want to get as many of them out while the game they promote is still fresh.

Nintendo is a very stringent company that always endeavours to make a profit. It's how they have survived for over 100 years. They won't make more than what there is demand for. Yes, they have probably underestimated demand, but at the same time, I'm positive that there are plenty of opportunists out there who are pre-ordering limited amiibo in order to take advantage of others by reselling them for ridiculous prices.

If anything, it just means that if we want a better chance at beating the odds, then we all need to band together and help one another out!

So I went to Walmart as they opened at 6AM here, They've got nothing new. I was hoping to catch their first batch of wave 2 amiibo, to get my hands on a Captain Falcon and Pit. I went to the Super Walmart 20 minutes later and found the same thing, about half a dozen wave 1 amiibo. The guy there said they usually get their Nintendo stuff on Fridays, so maybe I'll try again tomorrow...

Has anyone found Captain Falcon or Pit? My buddy at Gamestop said that their Captain Falcons were delayed and won't be getting them for awhile. Also, managed to find a ton of Luigi at my local Toys r Us yesterday.

Toys r Us has frequent 3 for 30 or buy one get one 40% off sales, but their amiibo are also priced at 13.99. Here in California, A lone amiibo runs about $15.35 after tax.

Anyway, I grabbed Toon Link, Shiek and Mega Man because...well, because I'm a sucker for anything Zelda and MM.  I also ordered Meta Knight because the figure looks Bad. Ass.  

Also, I didn't realize the 20% off Gamers Unlocked worked with these.  That is pretty boss.

Canadian Meta Knight Amiibo Preorder.

Though I managed to order a Meta Knight from Bestbuy.ca when it went up, I just pre-ordered two more from Future Shop, just to be safe. I had no idea they were going to offer them, but they are owned by the same company that owns Best Buy here in Canada. Thanks for that, larry!

Why did I pre-order two, you ask? Well, I get free shipping if I do that! That way, I can keep one, and return the other (or offer it to a needy TCPer). Pretty clever!

I also ordered Meta Knight because the figure looks Bad. Ass. 

THIS.

Oh, also Bill Trinen from Nintendo answered a twitter question asking about the plural form of amiibo. It is indeed just "amiibo". Or maybe it was Reggie...

You have three options:
1) Buy an overpriced one on eBay.
2) Buy one from one of the euro Amazon sites.
3) Wait and hope that Nintendo gets around to making more.

I got a bunch of emails this morning too about my order...although it was a bit strange that I would get seperate emails for different characters.  But anyway, everything was cancelled.

Fortunately though, Lucario preorders are still being taken at toys r us except now they only allow 1 to be preordered.  I tried to do 2 but it stopped me right away and adjusted the cart.  No big loss though...I'm just more upset at the fact that it seems like they did this so people didn't take advantage of the buy 1 get 1 40% off...cause if they're still taking preorders I see no reason why anyone's was cancelled.  Guess I'll be going to gamestop or best buy now since they didn't raise the msrp by a dollar

I got a bunch of emails this morning too about my order...although it was a bit strange that I would get seperate emails for different characters.  But anyway, everything was cancelled.

Fortunately though, Lucario preorders are still being taken at toys r us except now they only allow 1 to be preordered.  I tried to do 2 but it stopped me right away and adjusted the cart.  No big loss though...I'm just more upset at the fact that it seems like they did this so people didn't take advantage of the buy 1 get 1 40% off...cause if they're still taking preorders I see no reason why anyone's was cancelled.  Guess I'll be going to gamestop or best buy now since they didn't raise the msrp by a dollar

My Luigi just got cancelled too. He was the only one I had left ordered from Amazon during their 3 for $30 a few weeks ago. Hopefully everything I had on Amazon is safe. Still waiting on Pit and Captain Falcon from them but I guess I have to start hunting Luigi down in the wild. JUST GREAT.

Just last night there were some folks on CAG talking about how TRU is the place to go for amiibo, and now this. Every time that I've gone into TRU they've had a tiny section compared to Best Buy.

I've only preordered wave 3 figs, and none of them were from TRU. My few other amiibo pick ups have been at Best Buy and Bull Moose.

UPDATE: Toys R Us has a lot back up for pre-order and some Wave 2 including Luigi back in stock for order but the limit is 1 per person. Hopefully this is an attempt to stop resellers but they'll probably just make multiple orders.

I normally prefer best buy as well, but I have been to the 3 stores in San Diego looking for other things, and have noticed that the amiibo section is either very small or very bland, meaning all they have are pretty much of Donkey Kong, peach, kirby and maybe Mario. I have yet to even encounter a link, or any other truly different character in the wild.

OK so I reordered the Luigi Amiibo Toys R Us cancelled on me but now they just e-mailed me saying the original one that was cancelled shipped after I just ordered another one! This is getting absolutely insane!

I think I still have my Luigi coming.
Lucarios are gone, I was able to snag one off of TRU's eBay page. I also have one coming in from GAME just in case. I also have wave 3 proerderd on WalMart and Gamestop in store, just in case.

This is getting just bad, but dam, if I make it through and end up with a complete set, god dam that will be satisfying after all this trouble.

It is getting REALLY bad. But I got my wave three amiibo preordered, at this point, the only ones I can't get my hands on are Marth (join the club, I know) and Captain Falcon. Does anyone know the status on him? Is he wave 2 or what? Is he not out yet?

Marth is now out of stock on game after a few minutes. I snaged 2, for friends who are looking for them.
One might be up for grabs. I'll have to check with the other guy.

Wave 2 is out in some places, and not in others. It was split in two. All iI have where I live is Zeldas. All my Walmart orders are set to arrive next year.

The thing is I LOVE collecting Nintendo stuff, but I want to do it casually, which seems impossible with these. I bought Marth when I thought he'd be the only hard to get one. Now it seems probably half of them will be that way, and that's just not for me. My "play" budget is only like $30 per month.

Ah, thanks larry. I thought I was losing my mind there for a second. Apparently when I type "amiibo" into amazon.com's search bar, it kicks me over to Wii U accessories where, for some reason, no amiibo are listed. If I search "amiibo figures" then I can actually see them. Weird.

Buying 2 of each to have one open and one sealed is collecting.  Buying a few of each to have an army of Meta knights against Kirby in one epic battle pose is crazy.  Buying 7 Meta Knights and 6 Shulks seems like re-selling.  Not saying that's what you're doing, but buying 7 or 6 of one character is definitely messing with the market.

Gotcha.  Didn't mean to offend, but that sort of large quantity purchase stands out when some of these things may be very rare.  Re-selling doesn't bother me when you sell stuff you find. Hell, i sell about half of my pickups because I buy "lots" where I already own a bunch of the items.  But this is a little different.  I don't really collect these, but if I have collected other things where I found out people buy 10+ because they will be "less common".  What it can do is really screw the rest of people.  

Again, not knocking you or what you're doing.  Your money, you buy what you want.  I would just point out that when you announce grabbing a high amount of a hard to find character when others on here are desperately trying to find one, it can look kinda bad.  And yes, I know these characters aren't sold out everywhere yet, but let's be honest -if Diddy Kong is hard to find,  these two WILL be hard to find characters.

My Best Buy didn't have any, but they had a place for him, ie a rack with his name on it.  He is the only 2nd wave Amiibo besides Zelda to have his own "label".  Not sure if that means anything, but it stood out.

Reselling is a touchy subject. I recall my trip to Walmart a few weeks ago when the first wave was released.

I got wind early on that these Amiibos may become a thing and that it might be prudent to stock up on them to resell to make some extra Xmas cash. As I walked into my local Walmart with the hope of scoring a few, I approached a young pimple faced employee opening a cardboard box marked Nintendo near the gaming aisle. Success. I smiled in anticipation and reveled in my good luck to come at just the right time for the first shipment.

But something drew my immediate disgust. There was someone else watching as MY box was being opened. None other than a WOMAN, for God's sake! I lumbered over to the employee, glared at the woman standing near and snarled "Get the **** out of here, Jezebel!". "I-I'm here to buy a Christmas gift for my grandson...who the hell.." she stammered. "NOW, You INFIDEL!!", I screamed, and smacked her hard across the face, sending her to the ground. My steel-toed drill boot came crashing into her ribs, sending her flying a safe distance away. No more meddling- I wouldn't have my gaming warrior spirit softened by some wench if I could help it- no, BY GOD!

As the bewildered employee lifted the flap of the box I screamed and descended down upon it, scooping up all of the figures in one fell swoop and subsequently evading several tearful distraught children. After checking out at the register, I slowly backed away from the scene, then decided it was best to vacate the premises- after all, a grandma had been assaulted and there were witnesses- and a police car had pulled up to the front of the store. I quickly made my way to a rear fire escape exit, made it out the back, and fled, laughing! Got to look out for number one, baby!

Anyone questioning the morality of cleaning out the supply of these, just remember, I'm using the $ to fund my collection so it's fine.

In real news, My Luigi shipped from Toys R Us, servicing the great preorder purge, and my Little Mac shipped from Wal Mart. I have the rest of my wave 2 there, as well as an extra Cap. Falcon from TRU's eBay, I just got to wait fro them to ship.

My local stores have a bunch of Zelda, and not much else. Target had a sign about Luigi, the same "Not here, buy any other fro $12.99" (Like that is a deal and not retail price.).

That was awesome, Fritz! Hilarious, but also rather unsettling, because it could totally happen.

I am hesitant to continue this topic through the thread as I'd hate to see it turn into a debate about reselling (it used to be about the amiibo!), but hey, resellers are a part of the amiibo culture, unfortunately. They are undoubtedly affecting the availability of these things for people who are genuinely interested in owning the product. I've always loathed the practices of resellers because I see them as selfish and opportunistic as they try to take advantage of regular folk.

Whoa now, put down your pitchforks for just a moment. I'm not against all forms of reselling. As Megatron mentioned, he often buys things in lots and sells off the remainders -- that's totally understandable. I doubt he goes into that deal thinking he's going to resell everything at ridiculously inflated prices. He initially buys it for what he needs, not for what he can take from others. If someone happens to see two Marths on a shelf and buys them both with the intention of trading one to someone else for another amiibo that they can't find, that's cool too. Again, their intentions revolve around what they need they and not what they can take from others. A person who buys multiple copies of limited edition games or collectibles for the express purpose of selling them at ridiculous prices, well now those people are only interested in what they can take from others.

Just one final thought on the matter - you're right, it's all about HOW to resell.  And honestly, it's not even re selling that bugs me, it's scalping.  Which is exactly what is happening with these things.

That said, I FINALLY found a Link in the wild!  So now I have Link and Zelda, with my other 4 (toon link, shiek, Mega Man, Meta Knight) pre ordered and waiting.  This will probably be the end for me.  Until they release Ganondorf anyway.   And honestly, if Meta Knight becomes a super rare figure, I'll probably just get rid of mine.  I got it because it looks cool, but I'd hate for someone who is collecting them all to not have one so mine can collect dust.

So now the amiibos I need to complete my set are

Captain Falcon
Diddy Kong
Little Mac
Luigi
Pit

and wave 3
Lucario
Rosalina


On the brighter side I got my smash bros GameCube controller from walmart.com and my GameCube adapter for wii U I snagged from gamestop.com a couple weeks ago is going to arrive in the mail Monday :)

OOOooo and the Nintendo vendor at the store I work for gave me a gold Super Smash Bros coin and a black amiibo Lanyard to wear at work.

My Zelda and Little Mac shipped today, Wave 2b is still pending on Wal-Mart, I have a feeling Wave 2b (Diddy, Falcon, Pit) was released early from some shops, due to a up in the air street date, and that is why they are so rare. My Diddy Kong did ship in from TRU, but Pit and Caption Falcon on Wal Mart are set to ship in 10 or so days, and the spare C. Falcon from TRU eBay did not ship yet.

Check your Walmart website, everyone. Walmart.ca just listed my store as having limited stock of Captain Falcon and Pit (plus plenty of Luigi). After a quick trip down there, I can confirm it was accurate.

Nice! Odd that they would have them for so long...

Got this from TRU:

Quote
Dear Lawrence Rosenfeld ,

We are reaching out today regarding the recent cancellation that has occurred with your online order(s). Unfortunately, there was a processing error that caused your order(s) to cancel. Legally, we cannot reinstate your order(s) however we are working to put a process in place that will allow you to purchase these items within the week. We will be reaching out to you as soon as we have specifics and appreciate your patience and understanding.

We sincerely apologize for this cancellation and the inconvenience it has caused and will be in touch shortly.

Sincerely,
The Customer Service Team
Toysrus.com and Babiesrus.com


I had 2 Lucario orders I was able to relapse, so I might have 2 more on reserve. I also had all of wave 3.

EDIT:
I just got of the phone with a customer servise woman from Toys R Us.

The reson why somepeople (Like Myself) are getting the " Legally, we cannot reinstate your order" is due to how you paid. Paypal orders can't be reinstated is because TRU can not rebill your account, she also mentioned something about state laws.

They are working on a work around for anyone with this issue, to get them back at the same price, so anyone who got the Buy One, Get One 40% can still have their deal. The woman was not sure if sold out items can be re-preorderd.

She also did confirm that it was a site glitch and it was NOT them overselling preorders.

Hopefully this gets resolved.

Miyamoto says that some figures may be discontinued after their initial shipment, however their in game functionality can be accessed with cards that do the same things. What's everyone think about that?

I don't mind the cards just so long as they're priced well...I'd buy a few.  I can't see the cards going for over 1/3 the price of the figures but who knows

On another note...my toys r us preorders have been reinstated, lol this is after putting in another lucario preorder...I don't think I'll cancel it so I may have an extra lucario to sell or trade (rosalina...I'm looking at you)

I've got almost zero interest in cards as a replacement for figures. I'm solely collecting amiibo because they look awesome. At this point I don't even care about their functionality, so a card would seem pretty useless.
Title: Re: Amiibos: Gotta Catch 'Em All.
Post by: hoverboots on December 22, 2014, 01:18:45 PM
Not as a replacement, for sure. But they'd be a nice addition.
Title: Re: Amiibos: Gotta Catch 'Em All.
Post by: Retro Deckades on December 22, 2014, 02:39:28 PM
Regarding amiibo cards, it's nice to know that there will be alternative methods to unlocking content associated with the figurines once the figurines are no longer available. Plus, maybe I'm interested in the functionality associated with a particular amiibo, but don't like the figurine itself -- allowing me to unlock that content without (hopefully) having to spend $15.

Case in point, when I tapped my Captain Falcon amiibo on my Gamepad today to unlock his racing suit in Mario Kart 8, I thought, "Man, it'd be cool to have the Fox and Samus suits as well," but I'm not interested in either of those figures. An even better example may be the Spinner item unlock in Hyrule Warriors that's associated with the Link amiibo, which is a figure I really don't think looks that good. I'd love to have that item, but not for $15. Amiibo cards could be a very nice solution to such things.

They are sold out, all 4 exclusives are. I might have a spare Lucario if TRU reinstates my preorder.
As i said, GAME.CO.US, it will cost you around $40 shipped for both. Not that bad of a mark up from $28+Shipping.

There are all sorts of clear acrylic stands and racks out there. I'm sure one of them would easily accommodate Amiibos.

Preorders were opened right after all the cancellations but they only allowed you to order 1.  I tried to put in 2 but I was told that 1 was the max. 

But I don't know if it happened to everyone but my orders that were cancelled were reinstated a couple days ago.

If the "cards" are cheap enough, maybe I'll make my own Amiibos using World of Nintendo toys or something. Some may be difficult/ impossible to make. Fot example, I'd have to compromise and use a Barbie or something for Wii Fit trainer.

It already did, and the preorders are being reinstated. Credit Card purchases already did, they are trying to figure out how to do it with Paypal users. If I can get back my 2 Lucarios that were canceled, that means I'll have 4 in all and One will have your name on it, but it's looking bleak.

Takens subject to change, my friends I know physically get first pickings, I forgot if there were any more they wanted. Also it is posable for some to get cancelled still.

It automatically updates you when items become available again, with the option to set up text, email, and browser alerts. That's how I found out about Gamestop's little restock.

Got Diddy Kong in from Amazon today. His eyes are a little wonky, but not too bad - it looks like the eyes on my old BD&A bean bag plush Diddy Kong. Luigi's on his way. Locally I have yet to find any trace of Wave 2 whatsoever.

@N64 Guy - very impressive collection! Are those the Mario and Luigi Hori Gamecube controllers for Wii U and the Smash Bros Gamecube controller on the right?

....

Also....I just reached 1000 posts.....holy crap.  :o

I have a question for all of you out there who are trying to collect every amiibo. Are you opening all of them, keeping all in boxes, or opening some? I can't decide what I want to do yet and need some input. I've thought about buying two of each, one for using and one to keep in box, but that's a lot of cash to drop for something I already own.
Title: Re: Amiibos: Gotta Catch 'Em All.
Post by: Blumpkin on December 28, 2014, 06:07:44 AM
I only keep one of each, and I open all of them.

By the time series one is complete we'll have 49 amiibo. Good luck with finding a place to keep that many sealed figures.

Me too! I make a flap at the bottom so that I can slide the figure out, or slide it back in. When it's sitting on a shelf, you can't even tell it's been opened.

This whole situation blows. At this point I may order all Japanese Amiibos as they are not region locked. I think a full set in japanese would be cool. Theres more art on the back of the Japanese ones. Also scalpers hit my little town quick and I havent seen any of the "rare" ones. I wont pay forty and up. Just not gonna happen.
Title: Re: Amiibos: Gotta Catch 'Em All.
Post by: Aton7 on December 28, 2014, 11:23:10 PM
I hadn't thought of cutting the boxes so you can slide the figures out, that's a great idea. Now for a second question: how are you all displaying your amiibo? I think they look great in the box, but that's not very practical as far as space so I'm going to keep the boxes in storage but display the figures all together. Let's see everyone's amiibo setup

I'm actually using the Baseball Bat Display cases that Michaels sells. When they're on sale they're 2 for 70 and can hold a lot of figures each. I put this one up quick last week and have to adjust it still but I've been so busy. I'm going to try to add LED strips to them next so that they light up nicely.

Post by: Aton7 on December 31, 2014, 12:54:33 AM
I'm pretty much set on wave 2, but I'm still missing the infamous three (Villager, Trainer, Marth) from wave 1. I'm taking my chances in store on wave 3 most likely. If anyone has an extra of the aforementioned three I'd definitely be interested in them.

Also, I posted this earlier but it might have gotten lost in the pages. I use http://www.nowinstock.net/videogaming/games/amiibo/ to keep track of everything in stock. The best part is though, you can set up text alerts when certain amiibo come back into stock. I managed to snag Diddy, Captain Falcon, Pit, and Little Mac like this on a small restock that sold out in about five minutes. Good hunting everyone!

Mine from Toys R Us got the same thing! Thankfully they were a backup in case Amazon never happened but low and behold my Pit from Amazon finally came today and my Captain Falcon came last week. Finally a break until Wave 3 for now....

They also sent me a survey e-mail about my recent purchase and I spoke my mind about the Amiibo situation in it. I thought they would have been smarter this time around and not overselling pre-sales with that special offer deal but I guess not

I managed to find Pit, Falcon, and Fox locally over the last couple of days.

On new years eve I stopped in at Walmart for glass cleaner of all things and figured I'd check the amiibo section and they had one Pit and one Captain Falcon just sitting there so I snapped them up.

Today I was driving by Toys R Us and figured I'd take a quick look and low and behold there was a Fox sitting there all by his lonesome.  When I went to pay for it the lady at the cash said it had been sitting in a "hold bin" for 2 weeks and that she had just put it out on the shelf.

Moral of the story I guess is to keep checking :)

This is exactly why I left the "Skylanders Club" after Giants. There are simply too many things to buy. Hopefully Amiibos will be more "sane".

It's also strange about the Rarity of certain Amiibos in the US. Here in europe all are readily available. I was in some electronic stores today and they had Villager, Marth and Trainers all readily available. I found 15 Euros a bit much though.

Hey, it's so bad here, I'd gladly pay you extra to import Marth and Wii Fit Trainer.  ;)

After Smash Bros, I plan to be a lot more selective about other Amiibo series. I don't need to have 7 different variants of Mario, and I certainly don't need more than a handful of Pokémon from Generation 1 I like. I'll mostly be looking for characters that won't have Smash Bros. trophies like Waluigi.

Post by: tiktektak on January 04, 2015, 10:42:52 AM
Okay then who would need which ones? I could do a "big" order with up to 15 pieces. All available.
One costs 15 Euro plus a bit for my trouble = 3 Euro + shipping to the US for up to 15 figures would be 27 Euro -> So for 15 Amiibos it would be around 20 Euro per Amiibo or 25USD.
There needs to be one member in the US I know pretty well who takes all of them and then distributes them apart.
Anyone interested?
Title: Re: Amiibos: Gotta Catch 'Em All.

I don't know that I can be the one distributor in the US as I don't have the money to cover 15 worth, but the price is more than fair per amiibo.

If this can be worked out, I'd be interested in a Marth and Trainer for myself, and a Marth, Villager and Trainer for one of my friends.  :D

The fronts are nearly identical from the North American and European versions I believe.  On the North American version you have the Super Smash logo and the character name on the top left of the front and the 6+ on the top right corner and on the European I believe you have the Super Smash Logo and Super Smash title on the top left corner and the number in the series and character name on the top right corner.

Personally I prefer the European package as it numbers the characters but the North American ones do not.

It is the JoyRide/Nintendo Power Super Mario Sunshine figure, released in 2003. The Luigi is from the same line.
I got it off another user here for $60.
His arms and legs are poseable, and he can be taken off Yoshi, and Fludd detaches.

There are some on eBay right now, with the cheapest complete one being $85 open, $130 new, and $45 - $60 with broken/ Missing Fludd.

Luigi's Mansion is VERY rare, he is never on eBay, and loose ones are always incomplete. I got mine for $180 NEW recently, and opened it.

What was the list of them all? I should go around to my friends and ask if they want anything, I know someone wants a Villager. How are Pits and Caption Falcons in your region?

Pits and Falcons are no problem for now. BUT if we get any more in the lot shipping will jump to 40 Euro so then the more the better.

List ->
Mario
Peach
Yoshi
Donkey Kong
Link
Fox
Samus Aran
Wii Fit Trainer
Villager
Pikachu
Kirby
Marth
Zelda
Diddy Kong
Luigi
Little Mac -> I think this one is sold out here as well

How much US$ would each amiibo cost if you get shipping lowered to 40 Euro?

@larryinc64 - I can definitely commit to the 1 Villager, 2 Marths and 2 Wii Fit Trainers for me and my friend from Tiketektak's shipment. I'll be getting money from him and can pay you via Paypal by Friday if that's at all helpful.

@larryinc - I am commiting to 3 Villagers, 3 Marths amd 3 Wii Fit Trainers for me, my Mother-in-law and Sister-in-law from Tiketektak's shipment. I think my 9 should be part of Tiketektak's total of 17. I have paypal, but not sure if I'm paying you or Tiketektak and not sure what the exact amount per amiibo is. I can probably get whoever the $$ by Friday as well.

I believe larryinc64 pays tiktektak for all of them and they all get sent to him. So tiktektak's part is done. Then we pay larryinc64 and he ships them to each of us. Tiktektak figured  $25 USD per amiibo; not sure how larryinc64 shipping them from himself to us will factor in to that.

It all depends on the weight. I think around 15 figurines would be max for 27 Euro shipping. As 2kg is max then.
The next step is 4kg which means up to 30 Amiibos for 40 Euros.

List for now ->
larry: 1?
Tyrannical: 5
kzbolin: 9
Aton7: 3(maybe)

LMK.

Nintendo is releasing a Majora's Mask 3D limited edition statue. It sold out today, and was posted today. It is also a Game Stop/ Amazon/ Fry's exclusive.

If anyone can preorder one in store for me, that would be nice. Some stores can, some can't. My local stores are closed right now.

Here's the deal,
I just orderd mine in store at my local GS. They are not arriving in store, instead, the preorder is paid in full, and it gets shipped to your house. The cashier orders it for you. Also limit 1 per person. I was going to grab 3, but I don't have 3 houses. I'm guessing if your local store does not have it you can give your GS membershit info to someone else to order it for you.
I'm leaving that typo.
I should have one coming my way  ;D

I was able to order 2 of the Majoras Mask collectors edition but it was in two separate transactions. Not real happy about the pre pay. At least Gamestop offered free shipping. 

I received Pit form Game.com today.  The box was smashed when it came to the door. The cardboard is really thin.  Luckily Pit was undamaged. Glad to be done with wave 2 madness.  All Wave 3 are preordered. I have my fingers crossed that they don't get cancelled.

Post by: Retro Deckades on January 07, 2015, 08:34:33 PM
So I know this is the amiibo thread, but in the drought between waves I've found myself researching other Nintendo figurines. amiibo are cool and all, but I certainly don't intend to do what the title of this thread suggests and "catch 'em all". At this point, with so few games supporting the figures, my interest in any particular amiibo boils down to its appearance, and if I don't like the way it looks, I've found myself looking for available alternatives.

Case in point, I've ordered myself these awesome Figuarts Mario and Luigi toys:

(https://characterjapan.com/sites/default/files/concento-original-images/0723_mario_main.jpg)

There's also an accompanying Yoshi on the way! Check it!

http://news.toyark.com/2014/12/26/official-images-info-sh-figuarts-yoshi-147380

You can even do this!

(http://news.toyark.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2014/12/SH-Figuarts-Yoshi-003.jpg)

And this!

(http://news.toyark.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2014/12/SH-Figuarts-Yoshi-007.jpg)

On top of these, I already own the Figma Samus, Link, and Pit figures. Lucina is also on the way, and she's looking good!

(http://ep.yimg.com/ay/matrixcollectibles/figma-fire-emblem-awakening-lucina-245-pre-order-3.gif)

There is also the Jakks Pacific "World of Nintendo" line, which seems to have some decent figures as well, though I own none of them. I am interested in the 6" Bowser and DK though. There are also many new ones on the way this year, including a Star Fox figure! Read about/see concept art here: http://www.letstalknintendo.com/huge-amount-of-upcoming-toys-from-jakks-pacific/

By the by, the 6" figure line from Jakks Pacific my very well be making a Skull Kid figure in July that may e similar to the one found in the Majora's Mask Collector's Edition, though the quality may not be quite as high.

Sure, none of these figures interact with my Wii U or 3DS games, but they still look pretty cool. Also, the majority of these all come lovingly nestled in nice window-box packaging save for the "World of Nintendo" line, with the exception of the 6" figures (which may or may not have something to do with my interest in them, as I am a whore for sharp packaging that displays nice and can house a figure).

There are also some really cool nendoroid figures for Toon Link, Mario, Luigi, and even Sonic, among many other non-video game characters. Alas, I have no experience with these.

Thanks, larry. While I don't need any pics, I do have two questions:

1) Are you happy with your Figuarts Mario?
2) If you still have the packaging, how does the figuarts packaging compare with the figma's? Specifically, which is shorter/taller, thinner/wider, etc. Or if you could provide specific dimensions, that would be awesome too!

2) If you still have the packaging, how does the figuarts packaging compare with the figma's? Specifically, which is shorter/taller, thinner/wider, etc. Or if you could provide specific dimensions, that would be awesome too!

1 - For the price, I am mostly satisfied with the Mario. My biggest complaint is the legs and articulation, its hard to get a running or jumping pose without them looking off. The legs cant go much farther back than standing, though go forward good. The knees, when they bend, seem to make the legs extend. So if one leg is fully bent and one is not, one leg looks longer than the other, and when both are fully bent, they look too long. I was able to work out a good looking jump pose. The shoulders also are not ball joints, they cant go straight out in a "T" pose they do have some wiggle room. I'll post some pics tomorrow showing what I mean.

2 - The boxes are WAY smaller. About the size of a Jewel case, Mario, Luigi, and Set A are as thick as 2 UGSs. Sets B and C are twice as thick and a litter wider on the front. IDK where a ruler is at the moment.


The biggest positive is the play sets, I own 3X Set As (blocks) One set B and C (Green and red pipes) I also have Luigi shipping in. The sets are cheapest on sites like Hobby Link and Amiami, $5-$10 cheaper than BBTS.
The Jakks Pacific Wario and Yoshi fit in very well, the Mario is the same height as S.H. and fit the scale of the Figmas. The Popco/Banpresto figures are mostly too big to be in scale, but Peach fits in well.
Mario also fits well in the Mario Kart 64 figure's karts.

Wow, that small hey? It's always so hard to tell the scale of the packaging from pictures floating around the internet because it's never next to something I am familiar with that I can use as a reference.

I do find that to be a bit of a bummer. One thing I love about the figma figures is that the pictures on the side of their boxes look great when they are all lined up side by side. I should carefully consider this new information before my order is shipped.

Man I am such a sucker for what is essentially garbage (the packaging). I think the Jakks Pacific micro playsets are kinda cool, but I wish so hard that they were in window-boxes that you could easily display and store them in. I also kinda wish they were better because, looking at them a second time, they don't seem all that great. Do you have any of the micro playsets? Also, what about the 6" DK and Bowser? I KNOW that they are in boxes that would be easy to display.
Title: Re: Amiibos: Gotta Catch 'Em All.
Post by: larryinc64 on January 08, 2015, 12:41:16 AM
The Mario boxes look very nice together. they have pictures all around the box of coins, blocks, Goombas and different Mario poses.

The DK and Bowser are in boxes. They look nice They have a window on the front that goes onto the right side and are both the same size. They are covered in rubber bands and twistie ties though. The 4"  are a pain to get out of the boxes, and the accessories come in ? blocks that are hard to open without damaging.

With Bowz and DK, BE CAREFUL WITH THE PAINT! They can have sloppy paint applications or scuffs. Mine do when I ordered them of line. DKs eyes are not quite painted right, they are a bit off center.

I'm still considering getting the Mario and Luigi - and I guess now Yoshi - Figuarts. The only Figuarts I have are some of the original 7 Power Rangers, and while the articulation takes some getting used to (I'm more used to modern Star Wars figures), they are some of the nicest figures I have.

For $20 or so a figure and $15 or so a set, I'd say its worth it. I suggest getting multiple Set A (Blocks) Shipping can be a bit high from Japan, but still cheaper than BBTS.

I read an interview a few days ago from someone at nintendo and they said that they're going to treat amiibos kinda like how Disney treats their movies...release certain ones for a bit, stop then after a while release them again.  It's kinda like their way of circulating all of the characters without creating huge shelve spacing issues.

Yeah, I originally passed on picking up Wii Fit Trainer, but if they happen to re-release them, I may end up grabbing one. At that point, I might as well start rounding out the collection a little more. It will definitely benefit them to have more stock available -- I'll probably be living proof of that.

Actually they seem to only sold out on online places. i could maybe still get a few with a lot of driving arond to various retailer. Sadly I have to say that this is not worth it for a few euros. I don't have that much freetime.

I actually got the rare ones all locally a few weeks ago. Except for Little Mac. This little bugger i still have to find.

A buddy of mine had a spare unopened US Marth that I just talked into selling to me for $25 (a case of beer). Only issue is that on Marth's packing, the left eye appears damaged (figure is perfectly fine).

If anyone here is interested, I'd be willing to pass it on for cost + shipping (USPS medium flat-rate boxes - $12.65 to ship in US). I'll even toss in a few empty DVD cases to pad the box some. :)

I've also got a spare Diddy Kong that I'll let go for $10 (it's opened).

First person with a decent community contributing history here gets dibs if they PM me.

After reading the Reddit interview with the anonymous Nintendo rep, I figure (read: hope) that once the initial Smash Bros. run is complete, Nintendo will have a second print run of some of the harder to find amiibo and somehow make those available to the public. If this happens, I will definitely pick up a Wii Fit Trainer and a Pit.

I got a Villager.

I can vouch for the Copco non-skid organizer. Picked one up at Bed, Bath and Beyond, and it perfectly displays them to my liking. I'll probably need to pick up another for wave 3 though as the 18 from waves 1 & 2 fill up each row.

This guy bought 100 Rosalina & Luma amiibo simply because he hates the character. He's stated that he plans to do the same with Palutena, Robin, Lucina, and Zero Suit Samus.

I fail to see the logic in giving Nintendo money for a character you hate. Yeah, that'll send the message that the character is unpopular and discourage them from using that character in the future.  ::)

IT'S JUST A TROLL.
He does not have 100, I'd near impossible to have 100. He is the YouTube user MarioTehPlumer or something, I hate how BS stories like this get spread around, like the one where SEGA was making official Sonic porn.

Looks like I'll have to be picky on amiibo after Smash Bros. So did I understand correctly that characters that are repeats like Mario and Yoshi will work the same as their other amiibo figurine counterparts? So MP10 Mario can be an amiibo fighter on SSB and SSB Mario will work in MP10?

I believe so, The difference is (I think) that the game data for each amiibo will only save for one game: meaning you can have 1 Mario amiibo that you level up in smash bros OR 1 Mario that can have some sort of saved data on MP10. Both Smash edition and Super Mario editions will give you in-game rewards like weapons in Hyrule Warriors and racing suits in MK8 but 1 amiibo can only hold data for 1 game...I think I made sense lol
Title: Re: Amiibos: Gotta Catch 'Em All.
Post by: sniperlobster on January 14, 2015, 04:56:30 PM
Yeah that sounds about right. I just want to know why they can't give us an option to somehow backup our Amiibo Data to the Wii U or 3DS so that we can restore it back to the Amiibo whenever we want to use it for that specific game again rather than erase it completely. I guess it's just Nintendos way of making more $$$

Hmm... So what other series do you think we'll see amiibo lines for?

Well Pokémon seems like a given. Maybe Zelda. I'd hope to see more Donkey Kong characters too. I hope they get some for more peripheral Mario characters like Waluigi, Daisy and Professor E. Gadd in some form. I don't usually customize, but I may have to pick up an extra Yoshi - I have a hankering to make a custom Boshi from Mario RPG.  8)

Also, received my UK Pit today and it's very nice! I have to say I like the packaging numbering each amiibo.
Title: Re: Amiibos: Gotta Catch 'Em All.
Post by: hoverboots on January 14, 2015, 10:20:39 PM
Ohhh Boshi!! I've been thinking about making one from scratch, to portray my Villager amiibo in Smash Bros (I use the pink haired female). There's a trophy of her riding Lloid the gyroid.
Title: Re: Amiibos: Gotta Catch 'Em All.
Post by: larryinc64 on January 14, 2015, 10:35:01 PM
Rosleina, Wario and DK Mario Amiibo are probably coming. Images are seen of them in game in Mario Party.

I'll probably only get Toad, and wait for the rest to go on sale (I'm probably lying to myself).
Though Browser looks better than the smash one. I have enough sets of Mario figures though.
I hope they make Animal Crossing Amiibo. Pokemon had some for Rumble a while ago.

Also, Hover, I PMed you about Marth, lets finally do this.  ;)

Here are some images of the glorious packaging for upcoming amiibo.

(https://sickr.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/super_mario_collection_amiibo.png?w=660&h=330)

I'm really digging the look of the Super Mario series Bowser. Also hoping to see a traditional Wario in that series. Donkey Kong and Rosalina Super Mario amiibo were spotted in the trailer, but I sadly didn't even see a playable Wario character.

Not sure what I think about the choice of Red for Ness, but I'll probably pick it up anyway.

Now that they are releasing amiibo based on other games/series, it seems like they are ensuring that the characters are designed to be firmly attached to the base.

There were only 3 Pits and 9 Captain Falcon at my TRU and there were 2 other guys who waited outside the door with me to get Pit. We all 3 got 1 Pit and 1 Captain Falcon! I was third and got the last Pit and it was detached from the base and upside down in the box :( but super glue will fix that I guess!

If all goes as it seems to go, I should be getting these early next week.

Set 1:
Rosalina and Luma
Bowser
Lucario
Toon Link
Sheik
Ike
Shulk
Sonic
King Dedede
Meta Knight

Set 2:
Mario
Luigi
Yoshi
Donkey Kong
Diddy Kong
Fox
Little Mac

These should arrive at later date once the store gets these from the importer:
Kirby
Fit Trainer      
Kid Icarus

Which leaves only Mega Man to be found so I have full Amiibo waves 1-4.

Then starts the hunt for the next waves...

This Finnish store has quite a few Amiibos available:
http://www.gigantti.fi/search?SearchTerm=amiibo&search=&searchResultTab=

They seem to get refilss quite often so rare ones might pop up once in a while.
Those prices are Euros but I think do include shipping currently.

"Varastossa" means the quantity they have, and "Toimitukset alk" means when they expect to get more.

TRU let Pay Pal users buy any of 9 different Amiibos, Some up two 2, some up to one. I got 1 of each, and 2 Lucarios. It had wave 3, and Pit and Capt. Falcon.
@Oatmeal, I do now have a spare pit, I think, Roselina is Target exclusive, get it from Game.Co.Uk.

Here is the list of all my extras, all preorders:
1 = Mine
Slash =Taken
Under = Arseen reserved, Not sure If he still needs it.

Takens subject to change, my friends I know physically get first pickings, I forgot if there were any more they wanted. Also it is posable for some to get cancelled still.
Looking for a Villager or a friend, if anyone wants to trade,

@KMS:
Only one of the Lucarios I have reserved is UK, the rest are from TRU. I'll save you a US one.
I'll figure out pricing when I get them in, Not all of them were bought at the same retail price, some were cheaper, some were more due to shipping, so I may add up all of them and divide to get a medium.
I have 2 from TRU with a discounted price and free shipping.
1 from eBay at retail+S&H
1 from GAME at around $22 due to S&H and exchange rates.

My GAME one ships soon.

Lucario is still available from GAME.

I also have pre-ordered Little Mac through Entertainment Earth, King Dedede from Entertainment Earth, Bowser Shiek and Toon Link from Amazon, and Shulk from Big Bad Toy Store. Haven't heard any updates from any of those yet....just saving money for an inevitable deluge of charges.  :-\

I'm in the same boat man. I preordered from Amazon when they first went up and did backup preorders when Toys R Us sent out that special as well as all of the exclusives (Except Rosalina). My luck I'll be hit with everything all at once and be crying at my bank account but as long as I'm guaranteed one from both stores combined without anything getting cancelled I'll be satsified.

I'm finally got on the amiibo kick myself... I sadly missed out on some but that's ok. So far I got:

Mario
Peach
Link
Zelda
Samus

I hate that Nintendo put that freaking aluminum tape so you can't use them withou taking them out at least harming that package. Wtf is up with that shit?

Welcome to the club! I regret to inform you that as far as I know, there is no cure for your new disease. Just try to make the best of it!

You already own more amiibo than I do! I'm rather quite selective/picky. However, I plan on picking up 6 amiibo from the new, soon-to-be-released wave.

Also, regarding the aluminium tape, it does suck, but it's entirely necessary for Nintendo to do so. If they didn't put that in there, far too many people would buy them, scan them in for the unlockable content, then return them. I wish that there was a way to remove the amiibo from the box without damaging it, like a flap with a seal that you can cut or remove.

Apparently Wave 3 is being broken up into 3 waves.

Bowser- 2/6
Shulk- 2/13
Sheik- 2/13
Toon Link- 2/13
Ike- 2/13
Dedede- 2/13
Mega man- 2/20
Sonic- 2/20

I've heard that these aren't locked street dates, but ETAs given to GameStop employees.

I have the 4 green ones already in my possession.

A friend randomly sent me a couple. They're in a bag, under my desk now with random loot crate stuff that I don't want.  I just can't get into these. I seriously don't get the appeal other than the artificially low supply (I.e. hype).  Having to fight to get a hugely mass-produced product like this right when it launches is also BS.

I see no reason to like it even with that opinion stated above. Because who cares? It's not it's going to keep me from unlocking the stuff in my game.

I'm not fully certain why I like the piece of foil, but I do.

It's a little like any other toy. You can keep it in its package because you want to gamble that it will be valuable one day, or you can open it up and enjoy it. I kind of like that in this case you can't have your cake and eat it too. Open up your toys and play with them!

It's not like you can play games that are kept factory sealed, so why should something like amiibo be any different?
Title: Re: Amiibos: Gotta Catch 'Em All.
Post by: palmer6strings on January 23, 2015, 05:05:41 PM
Because if I pay money for something it should be how I want it.

Sure you're right. I can't keep a game in it's original sealed condition, but back in the day, I didn't have to tear the box up to get the game out either. And new games have a case and the only way they get damaged is through neglect.

They made the amiibos to where they are displayable through the packaging. So why not? You can use Skylanders through their packaging. (At least the older ones.) also, they aren't action figures, the don't have moveable joints, so there is no reason to take them out of the packaging other than to bypass the aluminum tape.

I have found a decent way to where I can use them while they are still in the package but it's a pain in the ass to do.

So I'm not trying to be rude or argue with you, but since you don't have a reason, It sounds like you are trying to argue with me and how I want what I payed for to be the way I want, just for shits and grins.

I'm not trying to argue. I said that I like the fact that amiibo have to be removed from their packaging to be used. You asked me why and I explained as best I could.

Ike was spotted? I had only heard of the other three being available, aside from one or two folks who also managed to get their Lucario pre-orders early.

Ike is the only wave 3 amiibo that I absolutely must have but do not have a pre-order for. I imagine he will become more available later this year since he, like Marth, can be used in Codename S.T.E.A.M.

I had to backtrack to figure out where I saw that.  I think I was referring to Arseen's highlighting in green on page 30 of this thread.  I've also seen a few thrown up on ebay in the English version, but never know where those came from. I have a feeling we may see him and more Sheik in stores this coming week... just a hunch.

HOWEVER, I am going to remain positive, because maybe, just maybe, they will bring more to North America later this year, just like Marth...

My Target had 28 Roselinas, 4 Sheiks, around 16 Toon Links, and a whole lotta Bowser. 2 per customer.

I got there 15 minutes early, there were 5 other guys and 2 mothers, one with her daughter.

I have the others on Preorder, so I made sure the other people got wheat they wanted first. 2 of the Sheiks whent home with the 2 mothers. Had some good chats about Amiibos, and told the moms about the others they were looking for, The little girl was very knowledgeable, and I think going for a complete set. She ordered a Marth from japan. The other mom had 2 or 3 she was buying for.

Everyone walked away happy, except for the employees who are now having to deal with the flood of people calling in to ask them to hold Roselina and company.

On my way out, the mom with her daughter was going back for Bowser, I was about to return mine so they could have it, but they had plenty in stock.

There was a guy lingering, wondering what was going on. After I paid I went to look at the Amiibo wall and he asked me if they were rare or something, and what they did. I filled him in a little, and mentioned scalpers and how stores are imposing limits to stop them. He seemed OK, but was still hovering when I left, checking his phone. There is a 2 per person limit anyway, if he was thinking of doing it.

Thanks to my mom driving me so I did not have to take the bus.

Hmm...not specifically talking about yours but I was hoping to trade for an NA one.  But I may take you up on it.  Truth be told, I should be receiving 3 Lucarios so I still have 1 left to trade, but I didn't want to make promises yet till I received them all in hand.  But I'll pm you once I receive him but keep me in mind if the NA Rosalina falls through.

I opened one of my US Roselinas, I thought I said at one point, KMS, If I found a spare Roselina I would hold it for you. After quickly looking back, It does not appear that I did.
Sence you did not have a claim, and Superchop asked first, I guess the US one should go to him. I do not need a Lucario at this moment, unless TRU dicks me. Just pay me the retail price.
KMS, you can have the UK one when it ships in, it should be any day now.

Nah, I'm local. Yeah I wound up first in line at the desk, waited while they scrambled to open boxes looking for Sheik and got one.
It looks like TRU is going to ship Sheik, Toon Link, Bowser, and Lucario soon. So I wont need them.
I wonder if Target still has any.

I can confirm. My set shipped today with tracking numbers.

Anyone's US Meta Knight from Best Buy shipping yet?

Not yet. It shows "Order in Process". I also ordered Ike from them alongside Meta Knight.

Gamestop still lists everything as the 13th and the 20th for wave 3

Gamestop just charged me for Shulk if that's any consolation. I don't see it marked as shipped yet though, so I assume it's about to ship.

I had 3 orders with TRU

1.  Lucario X2
2.  Bowser, Sheik X2, Toon link X2, Megaman, Sonic, Ike
3. Lucario

So far I got tracking info for order #1 and most of order #2 (sonic, megaman and Ike didn't release yet)  no word on my 3rd order but I guess Tru is going down the line and filling in the first preorder requests.

Thanks for that info, Im keeping an eagle eye on gamestops site as the store sometimes doesnt call at the right time. So interesting that theyve charged you (did mine site to store)

I too can report TRU has shipped Lucario. Rosalina should arrive this week for me.

So im hopen Toon Link, Shiek and Shulk are soon. Bowser was out last week at my local Gamestop.

Just a heads up to my fellow Canadians. My EB Games got a couple Rosalina's in today (only 2 to be exact) which were available for immediate purchase. I don't think well be getting anymore unfortunately, but those of you who are close to a local EB Games may want to consider stopping in or calling to check within the next couple days. Assuming they haven't received their assigned quantity already...

EDIT:

@larryinc64: Decided to take another look at your list of Amiibo pre-orders. I'm still totally in for the Meta Knight and Lucario if I cant grab them myself in store (and if Arseen doesn't need the Lucario). Anyway, I missed out on both Ike and Dedede (our EB games was literally assigned only 2 each which were pre-ordered) so if your Dedede pre-orders go through and the other two are still unaccounted for, I'll be in for one if I cant find one myself before then. I'd be in for an Ike too if you know where to find one. Let me know!

Up until this last wave, Villager was still the only Amiibo I'm missing. I hope to keep it that way! ;)

Game.CO.UK has Ike and I think Dedede Lies, he's gone, but I guess that works for you, If all of mine pan out.

They also have Roselina, Toad, Sheik, Mega Man, Sonic, Charizard, and Wario!

I'd order an Ike for you, if my bank account was not currently at $20 in checking :/
Title: Re: Amiibos: Gotta Catch 'Em All.
Post by: BadChad on February 05, 2015, 12:19:41 AM
I'm actually trying to stay away from Amiibo's from different regions. I'm purely collecting and not opening any of them so I'd like to keep my packaging consistent. So if getting Ike from another region is my only option, I'll just suck it up and leave him behind unless I can find one locally. So far only our 2 EB Games locations in town have received Ike's from what I've heard. Keep me posted on the Dedede Amiibo though!

I'm hoping Nintendo will do the smart thing and make more Marth and Ike available in time for the release of Codename S.T.E.A.M. next month. Hopefully they make an extra handful of Lucina and Robin available too given the fact they'll be compatible with 2 games. Otherwise, what the hell is the point of adding Amiibo support for the characters when 2 our of the 4 won't even be available when it launches. Silly Nintendo...

Ok, so I switched my UK Lucario to Kris, because he does not care, he has a UK Marth from me, and BadChad has a US one.
I'll keep an eye out for a US one, and I know Kris and Charlie don't care about the region to much, If you ever want to swamp a UK/JPN for a US.

Picked up my EB Games exclusive Shulk amiibo from Purolator today. Extremely impressed with the figure itself. I was concerned about the face, but it totally looks like Shulk! The bottom front corner of my packaging was cracked, which was disappointing because I open them in a way that still allows me to display them all in their packaging, which feature great designs.

I have a pending trade for an NA Ike from another collector on craigslist. I am awaiting Mega Man from Amazon, and I pre-ordered Sonic from an electronics retailer called The Source. However, not 5 minutes after doing that I received a "This item is on backorder" email. Not sure if that means I'll never get it, or if it just means that they haven't received their shipments yet. Fingers crossed!

Yup, I missed out. Both locally and online. Called my local Toys R Us just now (it's 2PM), the guy said they got their stock in today which sold out before noon. That being said, I'm 100% in for that US Lucario Larry! :)
Title: Re: Amiibos: Gotta Catch 'Em All.
Post by: larryinc64 on February 06, 2015, 02:07:56 PM
My store said (Before Toad) they would cut down preorders if one person preorderd 30,781 and there was not enough to go around or was very rare, so everyone got at least one.
IT is to combat scalpers, but also takes people preordering fro friends (Like me and my 3 Shulks) in to consideration.

Also I caved to the anticipation and preorderd Ness, Lucina, and Robin from Nin-Nin Game. I was going to add Pac-Man but that boosted the shipping up $10.
I feel that those 3 are going to be the hardest to find and preorders are running out fast. I can always cancel them if I get US preorders that are safe
Quote
2-5 Cancellations

The Buyer may cancel an order or pre-orde. Any pre-order may be cancelled at no cost until 7 days before the release of the pre-ordered product. When the cancellation occurs after this time, a fee of 10% of the item price is applied to the cancellation. In the same manner, any cancellation of an order that is not a pre-order will infer a fee of 10% of the item price. When an order has been dispatched, it is not cancellable anymore : the Buyer must then refer to the Right of Retractation described below.



The site was messing with me, it randomly set shipping to free, in the cart, to find in check out it was not, so I removed Charizard and Pac-Man.

You are on the list, BadChad  ;)

They are back up now. Local manager of my store just called me to let me know. Just completed my order. (Got my open it copy.)

Got my Toys R Us order yesterday.

For Best Buy, they just updated the release date for Ike from 12/31/2015 to 2/20/2015, so I suspect Metaknight won't be too far behind in being changed/shipped. They are probably just waiting for a definitive date from Nintendo.

A full US set of Wave 1, 2 and 3a

I moved my Amiibos back down to the middle of the shelf, instead of the top. I like them on the solid black background, and with none in front of any other.

Man, these Amiibo release dates really are screwed up! EB Games in our area released Wave 3 with Bowser on Jan 31st, minus Sonic and Mega Man which are said to arrive and release tomorrow with additional Sheik's to cover pre-orders that haven't been filled.

I never thought twice about these Amiibo's as I thought they were just kids toys to watch them play smash bros for you; then I saw Mega Man and thought; that looks pretty awesome - I'll have to get one.  Then I started reading online about Amiibo's in general and the problems with them selling like hot cakes and having to pre-order/hunt them down across the city.  Wow, quite the hot item right now; I had no idea.  So now I'm going around to find the ones I want and will definitely be putting out a pre-order in the future.  Sucks being late to the party :(  Good thing Samus and Link are ubiquitous; now I just gotta hope my friend is nice enough to sell me one of his two Mega Man's that he pre-ordered!

Hey Larry, you have any you want to trade? I figure since we found out we're in the same area maybe we can do that.  Possibly on Friday if we're both going to be at the same store... I'm looking for a Pit (or 2) and en extra Little Mac. I just got a Fox, but you probably have one of those already.  Actually now I'm realizing I think you've got them all! But let me know if you're interested anyway, and I might see you Friday.

Post by: larryinc64 on February 09, 2015, 12:56:23 PM
I have all the Amiibos. The only one I'm looking for is a cheep Villager for a friend, in the $20 range. Doubt that will happen any time soon.
This is the list of all my spares, and I have none for Little Mac or Pit. Any others you need?
I'm going to the GS in the mall BTW.
Maybe try /r/AmiiboSwap


-----Wave 1-----
Marth: 1-Kris  2-HBoots
-----Wave 2-----
Pit: 1-Me  
Caption Falcon: 1-Me  2-TF  3(Jpn)-Charlie
Little Mac: 1-Me 2(Jpn)-Charlie
-----Wave 3-----
Sheik: 1-Me 2-Matt 3
Ike: 1-Me 2-Kris 3-Charlie
King Dedede: 1-Me 2-BadChad 3-Spoon
Bowser: 1-Me 2 3
Toon Link: 1-Me  2-Charlie  3-Matt 4
Sonic: 1-Me 2-? 3-Spoon
Mega Man: 1-Me  2-Arseen?  3-Spoon
-----Exclusive-----
Rosalina and Luma: 1-Me 2-Super 3(UK)-KJS
Meta Knight: 1-Me   2-BadChad   3-Arseen?
Shulk: 1-Me 2-Kris 3-Arseen?
Lucario: 1-Me   2-(UK)Kris   3-KJS   4-BadChad


Also GAME canceled my Meta Knight.

Post by: Spoonman on February 09, 2015, 02:48:21 PM
I'm a little confused by the list since you have Pit and Little Mac on there.  How does your list work? Like if it has a number next to a name that's the number of them you have on hand for that person? So you have no spares?

Nothing else I'm missing really.  I mean I don't have a Marth, WFT, or Villager.  The only one I'd be interested in is Marth and I think he's coming back at least for a limited time maybe in the spring or summer.  Other than that just the ones that aren't out yet. Pit is the only one I wanted that I never saw in a store. I would grab another Lucario if I saw one though.

So you're hitting GS in the mall first thing Friday? I think I'm hitting TRU first.
Title: Re: Amiibos: Gotta Catch 'Em All.
Post by: Spoonman on February 09, 2015, 02:50:35 PM
I think I figured out that the number at the end of each line is what you have for that character.  You want to hold a Dedede, a Sonic, and a Mega Man for me in case I don't find one? I could always pay you cash.
Title: Re: Amiibos: Gotta Catch 'Em All.
Post by: larryinc64 on February 09, 2015, 06:17:57 PM
The way the list works is there is the Amiibo name, and numbers for each one I have. If there is a name next to the number it is claimed, if there is not one it is open. I have 3 Sheiks to my name, and 2 are claimed by me and my freind Matt. Sheik no3 is open. I have 2 Little Macs but both are claimed by me and my freind Charlie.

I'll add you to the list after work. Each one is from a different store, TRU, GS, and WalMart.

Be sure to let me know if your pre-orders don't go through for whatever reason. I grabbed an extra Shulk yesterday in case you happen to need one for yourself since your helping me with a couple exclusives. If you do end up needing it we can just do an exchange for one of the Amiibo's your getting for me.

If you don't end up needing it, I know someone who will take it off my hands.

Here's my current Amiibo status:

WAVE 1 - Complete!

WAVE 2 - Have all except:
-Little Mac -- on back-order from Entertainment Earth

WAVE 3 - Have all except:
-Sheik -- just got an email saying it will ship soon from Amazon
-King Dedede -- pre-ordered on Entertainment Earth
-Ike, Sonic, Mega Man -- have a pre-order card from TRU, last I heard they'll be in on 2/13
-Shulk, Meta Knight -- have Japanese versions on pre-order from Big Bad Toy Store

Waiting on Wave 4 pre-orders. Pre-ordered Toad from Amazon (not interested in the other SM line amiibo).

Regarding the Gold and Silver Mario amiibos, it occurs to me that there sort of is a precedent for their existence in the form of Gold Mario (NSMB2) and Metal Mario (64, SSB)

The one I'm worried about is Meta Knight, My GAME back up is gone and I'm a little weary about Best Buy, and that my order has 3. I did do it the first day, so I probably wont get shafted by lack of stock.

If any one has a chance to grab an extra the 20th, please  ;D

I doubt there will be a Hyrule Warriors line (As much as I want one)
The game already supports the SSB line, and I see no way to incorporate Amiibos enough to make one.

Zelda U will probably use the smash ones, it's hard to say. For functionality, all Links will be the same, like with Mario.

Data can only be held from one game though. If you want a Link with SSB data, you'll have to buy a 2nd Link for Zelda U (if there is a use to hold data) <--then Nintendo will probably make a Zelda line. If amiibos will be used to unlock stuff like in HW & MK8, then I agree that they'll stick with the Smash ones.

If amiibos will be used to unlock stuff like in HW & MK8, then I agree that they'll stick with the Smash ones.

I'm really hoping for a ZeldaU line... and an Animal Crossing Line.

just a heads up for people, bestbuy.Com has peach, Yoshi, and donkey kong for $9.99.  If you have the gamers club unlocked membership it brings it down to 7.99 each.  It's a shame it's only those 3 but still, a few bucks saved is a few bucks extra towards something else lol

Shiek, Shulk and Toon Link all arrived at my local Gamestop.

Down to King Dede, Ike, Sonic and Mega Man. And Meta Knight from best buy if theyd ever update their site to reflect its coming out before 12/31/15

I feel like a scalper  ;D

I was about to skip GS today, I was on my way home from school and I was not going to call because I doubted they got Shulk in yet, but I did and they did.
I picked up my 3, and another Tink and Sheik.

Meta Knight is coming 2/20. Just got an email update from best buy saying my order was getting a release date change. Originally it was 12/31/15. So next friday!!!

Clerk at Gamestop told me next friday for Mega Man and Sonic.... but he also said Ike and King Dedede would be next friday too. Not sure I believe him as he wasnt the manager and the website hasnt updated to reflect that.

Though for those want Shiek and Tink.... Gamestop.com has them as online only and available now

Still waiting for my Rosalina and Lucario from Game.co.uk, but I did get my other Lucario from Toys R Us, so I do have a spare.

The only one I'm missing and was unable to get an order in on is King Dedede, and I'd be willing to trade my spare Lucario for it. I also have a Marth that I can trade for Dedede.

I think Shulk for 5/1/15 is still open in store.

The Skill Kid is not an Amiibo, it actually says it on the back that it has no Amiibo Functionality.  :P Preorders sold out on line in a hour or so, it was open in store the next day to be shipped to home. Jaks Pasific is also planning a Skull Kid figure for the World Of Nintendo line.

Also TRU shipped my Dedede, Sonic and Mega Man.  ;D

Just need Ike from WalMart.

Post by: Retro Deckades on February 14, 2015, 10:40:18 AM
Today is the first day in a long while that I can just relax and enjoy the fact that I finally have all the amiibo out there that I actually want. I was able to nab Ike, Mega Man, and Sonic this past week!

I did my best fastest-finger impersonation yesterday and was able to reserve both Sonic and Mega Man in-store at Best Buy and Future Shop, respectively, when they went online. I had to travel an hour and a half round trip to pick up Mega Man, but dammit, I got him! About an hour and a half after that, Amazon sent me an e-mail telling me they are having trouble acquiring my item.

I can't believe how good it feels to not be compelled to check reddit every 10 minutes for updates! I guess all that I need to do now is wait for the next waves to be put up for pre-order. Truth be told, I'm only really considering picking up Robin from this next wave. After that, Game and Watch, Zero Suit Samus, and possibly Duck Hunt are the only ones I plan to grab. When its all said and done, I should have between 16 and 18 Smash Bros. amiibo.

It seems I'll be picking up the villains from the Super Mario line -- Bowser, Donkey Kong, and Wario. In case people missed it, here are the potential new DK and Wario designs:

OK, this I was thinking.
Just wanted to make sure there isn't some super limited hyper secret Skull Kid Amiibo.

I did go on bit of a spending spree and ordered:
- US Collector's Edition
- UK Collector's Edition
- That nice looking guide book.

This lot totalled something around 300 Euros.
You'll never guess which was the most expensive item that including postage, VAT and customs was about half of the lot ... ;)

Its not going down any time soon, as I have been saying, If you really want a Skull Kid figure, Jaks Pacific is planning one that would probably be around $15 for a 6" posable figure coming July 2015.

It's Nintendo's fault. GS was supposed to hold the Bowsers and wait for the other 3 3a Amiibo, but was then told to just put them out and the others will come eventually.

You can call and ask for it to be held longer. I did that with my NGC adapter.

Also, running out of space.

I'm just missing Little Mac, King Dedede, Shulk and Meta Knight. I have them all preordered somewhere (first 2 at Entertainment Earth, 2 exclusives as Japanese versions from BigBadToyStore), but I haven't heard a word from any of them. Especially with Little Mac, I feel like I should have heard something by now...  :-\ So if anyone has an extra of one of those, I'd consider buying it from you and cancelling the preorders that don't seem to be happening. I do need to hunt tomorrow and see if I can't find Dedede in the wild.

I regret fully changing my preferred GameStop. I went back to my old one and told them what happened with my pre-order Sheik being sold less than 48 hrs after I was told to pick it up. They were appalled.
 
 The next day (Today) I went back to the Appaled employees asking if they knew of any shipments coming in soon. The man behind the counter has seen me a few times. He called 4 or 5 different stores, got off the phone and told me to go a few towns over, they were holding a Sheik for me.

 :) Never going back to Seabrook for my GS needs again.

Out of curiosity, what Amiibo does everyone have, and what Amiibo is everyone looking for?

I'm being rather selective about which amiibo I purchase. So far, in the order I acquired them, I have Little Mac, Diddy Kong, Captain Falcon, King Dedede, Toon Link, Shulk, Ike, Mega Man, & Sonic.

Edit: As far as future releases, the only two I absolutely know I will purchase are Mr. Game & Watch and Zero Suit Samus.

I have all except WFT, Villager, Marth, and Pit.  And of course looking for Kind DeDeDe and Meta Knight this week.

Of the first 3 that disappeared so quickly from wave 1, Marth is the only one I would want, and I can be patient for his presumed return. Definitely looking for a Pit though- or 2- one in box and one loose.  And a loose Little Mac but I don't have hopes for that at least for now.

That's pretty much my exact sentiment as well. I'm leaning towards Silver Mario if he's easy to get only because it's like having a Metal Mario amiibo.

TRU sent in my Dedede, Sonic and Mega Man. Dedede is my favorite so far, except that the paint on his eyes is a tad messed up, the blue is showing through the white, I wish I could open this one now, but I'll wait for GS to get theirs in.

My 3 MKs shiped as well.

Got two Gamestop calls.

IKE is limited to 1 per house hold. (only got one anyway) and that my preorder will be available for pickup next wednesday, Feb 25th. (Ordered mine the day you could pre-order them, so before the end of december cut off)

King Dedede will be ready on the 25th as well. Same deal, my order was before the cut off date.


Now the question is when will Sonic and Mega Man land at gamestop. Called yesterday and they seemed to believe also the 25th. We shall see.

KM, I have a guy a town over that's selling a NA Rosalina amiibo but he's asking $45 (no trades).  After shipping costs it'll probably end up being between 50-55.  If it still interests you, send me a PM and I can contact the guy for you.

--edit--

Just checked ebay to compare prices and found one that's already cheaper :/

I just did the bundle...I paid everything up front since it had to be shipped to my house.  But the manager told me I can just return the controller.  He also said that the scheduled date is May 1st.  If they changed I don't know but that's what he told me on Tuesday when I went in.

Also, it was in their flyer for the week so I'm sure many people saw that and took advantage.

everything regarding wave 4 pre-order in the US is speculation ATM.  JP amazon had them go live yesterday.  Not sure about the rest of the world.  i use the comments/chat located at the bottom of http://www.nowinstock.net/videogaming/games/amiibo/   to find when amiibos come in stock.  you gotta be fast tho; they sell out within 5 minutes of it being posted in the comments.  There is normally one daily idiot who says he heard a rumor from a "reputable" source (aka a guy on reddit) that wave 4 will go up at midnight PST so everyone gets pumped up and floods the chat and then.....NOTHING.  It's quite funny to watch these sheep believe everything they read; then get pissed when it doesn't happen.

Sure, I'll have to double check with Sheik. Sonic is open. $15 each plus shipping.

Why have you not picked him up yet? He came out 4 days ago.

That post was a bit late, I got a message saying that he wouldn't be available on the 20th last thursday. However, customer service said that they'd keep me on the list and I'd get one eventually. On the bright side, my Lucarios arrived! Still no Rosalina though :/

I got Sheik today actually. So I don't need her, and no offense Larry but I think I'm gonna pass. I would rather keep all mine unopened.

Ok, the Sonic I have spare is still unopened. All my spares are new.

Any unsold I'm going to eventually dump off at GS, they said I can trade it in at retail price for in store credit, without a receipt.

Along those same lines, haven't checked here in a little while.  Anyone here want to trade a Pit for something? I've got some hard to find ones. I'd rather do it in person - in lower CT if anyone is interested.

According to Nintendo, Gold mario's online preorder stock is only a fraction of what will be stocked in stores.  So i guess that gold mario won't be as rare as most first assumed.

That being said though...I'm debating cancelling my preorders for the SMB line.  I've considered keeping toad but can't say my interest in him or anyone else in that line interest me as much

Keep toad for functionality, I'm getting the rest on sale with my Best Buy GRC thing, I just need Bowser and Yoshi preorders.

The GRC knocks down the price of the MP10 bundle to $50, so the Mario is free.

I have the bundle and the 5 amiibo's already preordered at best buy since I have the GCU also, but before best buy opened up their preorders I had preordered the 5 from gamestop.  So I have 2 sets on preorder but don't care much for either lol.

The problem I have is that it stopped being fun preordering and collecting them.  I want to finish the Smash line, and if they ever do a Metroid, Zelda or Xenoblade line then I'll probably get those...but anything else I doubt i'll get

I remember a time where pre orders were open for longer then 10 minutes and even before that I remember walking into toys r us, and target and seeing at least 20 villagers, 20 wii fit trainers and like 10 Marth's on the shelves waiting patiently to be bought.  Now it's 20 of each from the local scalper anywhere from 5x to 10x the retail price :/

Welp, I kinda goofed.

I guess I'm getting the SMB set now, and Yoshi and Bowser were the last 2 I needed, the rest I got on BB on sale, and B/Y were sold out at that point, I was waring for it, I finally decided to go to Walmart, and put both in my cart, and then I got distracted and went back, and Yoshi was out of stock. I snagged Bowser.


If anyone sees a spare SMB Yoshi, and they did not go up on line that day, please snag one for me. I doubt Yoshi will be a problem, It's Yoshi. But if I get boned, it would be nice for someone to help me out.

For Smash Wave 4, If you can return them easily (if I can get the US versions), yes.
I'm still going to try to go after US versions, and hope is not lost, but I would like a back up plan. I have Ness, Robin, and Lucina on NinNinGame, for $30 each shipped, but I heard something about them just taking preorders they might not be able to fulfill. They are still open after a month, so I'm worried.

I have a feeling Wario and Charizard will be easy to find.

It's a great site, cheep prices and a good way of managing orders, you can tack on other items to the Toad order or have a monthly order. I got one with some MegaMan figures and a Zelda scarf going right now. On;y downside is shipping estimates don't come until it's ready to ship.

Also I got more snow, to the people who I'm holding Amiibos for, this is the major thing that is holding me up, I'll try to get them out this weekend. It has been snowing every day.

That's why I rarely go for full sets of anything.  There is always at least one super rate items that makes a full set of anything damn near impossible.  And if you are missing one, you don't have a full set, and if you don't have a full set, what's the point of buying all of the things you didn't want anything (think sports games)?

Entertainment earth cancelled my order for Pit so I'm assuming he won't be restocked.

As an accountant the stupidity of Nintendo amazes me. 

People want to buy stuff but we won't supply it and let scalpers make the cash instead.

The shelf space argument is BS.  You can have spots for your Mario's Link's etc. and just have a few spots for assorted Amiibos and whoever is interested enough will dig through and find the one they want.

Have preorders in for some of the Mario Bros. Line of Amiibo, but I'm not too concerned with those. Maybe another time, as I can't imagine those would be super rare (outside of gold mario and toad).

Also preordered Mario Party 10 + Mario Amiibo bundle. :)

Gold Mario release was a bust. Apparently, my local Walmart received 8 Amiibo, but only had four today... Sounds like the staff at Wally World are probably making a quick dime scalping amiibo. I guess that's why I've NEVER seen any amiibo other than absurdly common ones there.

Only missing the gold variant of Mario :(

Post by: TyrannicalFascist on March 21, 2015, 12:07:34 AM
Got Toad in the mail and he looks great. I tried to get the Gold Mario at Walmart, but they completely failed - I was there at 11:45 Thursday night, and the guy working in electronics said they never got them in, and sent me to a nearby Walmart. That one sold all of theirs out at midnight and said that the first Walmart must have been lying because they got 8 in. So I don't know if they legitimately didn't get them, were too lazy to find them, or if they sold them earlier in the day.

Oh well, maybe I can get one someday if I don't mind forking over more money. As for the others, I'm really going to wait and see. I strongly suspect that all the Super Mario amiibo except Toad will be around for a LONG time. Considering that their Smash Bros counterparts are so easy to find, and Nintendo is going to want those main Mario characters around for a while, and I imagine the Smash Bros versions will be phased out. Besides, I'm still leaning towards drawing the line at getting the Smash Bros amiibo and any other unique ones that I like. I have no intention of being a completist on these things.

Here's why you didn't get your gold mario: http://www.amazon.ca/amiibo-Mario-Gold-Wii-U/dp/B00U6Y7ISC/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1426890507&sr=1-1&keywords=gold+mario
check the 3rd picture, that guy bough 7 of them.

But something tells me there might be more for sale.. from Nintendo site : "Exclusively at Walmart at launch." So are they planning to sell those everywhere later ?

EDIT: For those that live outside the U.S., it was recently confirmed that Golden Mario will be sold as a non-exclusive Amiibo in Canada. Its release date in that region is April 10.
So I'll bet mine on April 10 :)

Not bad, that's about the same price for the ones I had, $14 + $20 +$7~ S&H. US Ver?


The MP ones look great,  though MP10 is very lame. I played the Amiibo mode on a live stream and it was just dull with a few good mini games. The best part was when you roll the dice, it can knock over other players.

But I draw the line at the cards. I collected most Pokémon cards from Base through the Neo series, and I don't need to do that again. I'd much rather have figurines anyways. I'm also happy to hear Mewtwo will get an amiibo.

I think the cards are a great idea.  I'm missing out on functionality because I don't want loads of plastic figurines around the house. (Well, I would be if I actually ever used the wii-u)

I'm definately with this line of thinking.

MISSED BEST BUY, DAMMIT. I HAD PAC MAN IN MY CART, AND COMPLETED IT ALL, AND THEN HE SOLD OUT. WHY DOES BB NOT SAVE BILLING INFO?

I am in class until 3:30, and I have a friend, who get's out at 2:30, they open at 3:00 here, $100, my address and a list, he is going to go drive over to GS and order me a sat, and maybe a extra Ness, Lucina and Robin to his house if he can.

Hopefully he is successful.

I want Pac Man.

Managed to get a Ness from my gamestop.  Everyone before me got the bundle with all the wave 4 characters that gamestop had.  Hopefully preorders will come back up sometime soon so I can pick up the rest.

I have not heard form my friend yet, but I went an hour later and got Ness, PacMan and Charizard. Also orders some Ness for friends.

At least I got the two I wanted the most. Wario should e no trouble, but the rest are not coming to stores at all, my GS employee said.


Shit, I forgot about Slpatoon

Im seriously considering giving up at this point.
Title: Re: Amiibos: Gotta Catch 'Em All.
Post by: larryinc64 on April 02, 2015, 07:41:43 PM
GS sold them all in store.

My friend came through with Wario and Splatoon Pack I forgot, and another Ness and I think Charizard.

I just need the Fire Emblem and Pokemon Charterers. Minus JigglyPuff, I got my favorites.

TRU goes up tomorrow. Whooo.  :-X

If they've gone to a "you get one day's notice to have the funds set aside to pay for a set in full, in advance" like this, then I'm going to have to sit it out. If they are going to choke supply and go online only, it makes me not want to participate.

Im the opposite. Ive got the cash, I just dont wanna go to the store at 3pm on a work day. I want ample supply online. Tired of exclusives and scalpers crashing the pre-orders for ebay profit.

To be fair, TRU, Best Buy and Target all sold out of their stock in minutes, Minus TRU Pac Man

While GS had very bad timing, 3PM on a Thursday, they were open for hours, minus FE characters.

Ness will probably get a reprint like Shulk.

With the Robin and Lucina, If anyone wants them, Just pay me on Paypal, and I'll see if I can change the shipping address. $26~ is not bad for them, unless on launch they are common.

that happened because I went through the check out, and at the end it just said my basket was empty, so I did it again, and again, and again, and again. Then I came to the conclusion it was sold out. Then I checked my email and I had a pile of orders.

That whole Amiibo craze...I'm sooooo glad i dodged that bullet! :)

They almost got me. I really wanted that Toon Link. Really wanted that damn thing. And I knew as soon as I buy that Amiibo, the floodgates will open and I will go into full collectors rage. But I really, really wanted that Toon Link :D So I clicked on it and it went into my shopping basket, as did Mega Man, Pit, Kirby, Samus and Yoshi, since Amiibos don't like to be alone.
But Toon Link was out of stock. In pretty much all the shops it was out of stock. So I looked on eBay, knowing that some Amiibos go for ridiculous prices. So, while I was browsing through the listings I discovered the Nendoroid Toon Link figure from Good Smile Company. I bought it and this figure is just awesome! So for now I'm good and I could evade Nintendo's grasp. But for how long... D

Someone please point me in the direction of a decent Kirby figure that's not a plushie, for I fear that might be my Achilles heel.

There is a 3D puzzle Kirby (I have this) and soon a Nendroid Kirby.

There is also a nice magnet figure but it is very rare and pricey.

IF Nintendo continues to integrate amiibo functionality into their games, then buying one amiibo at $13 may not be all that bad. You really have to take into consideration exactly what it unlocks in certain games.

It's a cash cow.  If I have already paid for the game, and the data is on my disc, I don't see why I should have to fill my house with plastic toys and pay again to unlock stuff.  With sky landers/Disney infinity it's fine - people know that you have to collect the statues to play the games, but putting the functionality into other mainstream releases is akin to in app purchases, but on a larger scale.  Seems the game industry is finding more and more ways of making people part with their money, and it's working.

^This :)

The Amiibos have a decent lineup of figures that are not available as a collectable figurine from other companies. They're also very affordable (if you're fast enough and/or predorder) compared to other figures. There are two Samus zero Suit figures that look awesome but they are in the ~$100 range. So the upcoming Zero Suit Amiibo is very tempting. But I know myself and I know once I give into it I'll collect more of these things :)

As for their Wii U functionality, I think it's a nice gimmik but it has to go well with the game.

And the "I already paid for the game"-argument. Yeah, I don't like that either. But it seems to be common practice now with day one dlc and dlc that's already on the disc. I usually vote with my wallet and don't buy that stuff. But there are also times when I really want that stuff and swallow that bitter pill. That's part of the reason why I hope that Amiibo fever will not get to me :)

Just out of curiosity, how much have y'all spent on Amiibos? No judgement here. I've spent too much on games myself to be in any position to judge. Just curious how many figurines you have and how much you spent on the lot.

I have 60 amiibos. Every one released and a bunch of doubles.  With tax and shipping I averaged about $12.00 a piece, not counting the Mario Party bundle. Most of the doubles were on sale. I paid MSRP for the rest except pit which I bought from Game.UK for around $20 US.  I got very lucky on wave 1 and only bought Villager, Marth and Wii Fit trainer the first week they were available. The rest of Wave one I found on sale. I only waited in line for Gold Mario and the last round of preorders at Gamestop (which I was not able to get Robin, Lucina, or Charzard).  
Title: Re: Amiibos: Gotta Catch 'Em All.
Post by: larryinc64 on April 19, 2015, 11:06:11 AM
I used sales for most of them and the only one I paid over $14 for is Marth, because of shipping from MarioXB. So under $450.

All are US versions, minus Robin and Lucina (I have preorders from Playasia), and probably Jiggs and Greninja if I cant get them at launch.

I don't see them as pricey DLC, I see them as figures with nice little bonuses. Most of what they do is minimal but are nice little additions. Like the costumes in MK8 and items in Hyrule Warriors.

Post by: TyrannicalFascist on April 19, 2015, 03:50:50 PM
The Gold Mario debacle really solidified for me that I won't be getting all of the amiibos. At the very least, I want to get the original 12 fighters from the N64 SSB (of which only Jigglypuff is not yet secured for me), then see if I can get the additions from Melee, Brawl, and if I'm lucky all the Smash Bros. amiibos.

Beyond that I'm still debating if I want to get the Mario series beyond characters not in Smash, like Toad. The others seem to be very easy to find and I suspect they'll phase out their Smash Bros. counterparts and will be around for a while. So if there's a sale at TRU or something I might grab them. I think I'll be skipping Splatoon, I might grab a blue Yarn Yoshi if it's not too impossible to get, and as much as I like other series, I'll probably have to avoid any potential Zelda, Metroid, or any other large series full of characters. As for the cards, my current stance is no way. They'd have to make something pretty cool and equally useful in a game to get me to jump down that rabbit hole.

No preorders for Silver in the US yet, though some pages are popping up on Amazon and Best Buy. Aus and Can are sold out.

Though, a friend on another forum who lives in Australia preorderd one for me, along with basically every other Amiibo. I got wave 4  (minus Charizard, forgot to ask wen listing characters) shipping to me.  ;D

Target is showing S. Mario shipping to store at launch, I'll try and get one for Arseen.

The included Squid is actually in a proper Amiiibo package and is #03 (or the code above barcode has code C) so Now I just need to buy another boxed squid.

I'm going to try and get the rest through amazon throughout the night but I don't know how much luck I'll have.

But if anyone got a spare Greninja or Jigglypuff, I have 2 Lucario's to trade.  Also have a spare Ike that I wouldn't mind trading for either Robin or Lucina. 

One of my silver Mario's is up for trade also for either Robin, Lucina or a Gold Mario

Yeah, I say semi lucky because I know that what I got is pretty good, especially the 3 pack (single boy and girl were all over the place though) but I was hoping to at least find Wario also.  Greninja, Jigglypuff, Robin and Lucina I'd consider myself real lucky to at least get 1 :/  The manager at the gamestop I frequent told me that if I were to be in the store when they opened I'd have been able to get the whole wave :( even though I didn't preorder

Apparently it was up for a split second...on reddit some people claiming to have seen it for a split second and a couple even claim to have ordered it.

As for the silver Mario, I've only seen a handful of them at gamestop but none of the other stores I went to had a single one...maybe people are more concerned over Robin and Lucina along with the store exclusives to worry about silver mario?

I was able to get the Robin and Lucina amiibos off amazon. I can't speak to Robin but Lucina was up for 30 seconds at like 17 after. When it went up it was not listed as qualifying for amazon prime so it did not show up correctly for most people. I believe the people that got it were looking at the other sellers tab til the $12.99 one showed up.

Just to talk about what I saw out in the wild yesterday when I was out

Silver Mario was very common. I saw it at Gamestop, Target, and Toys R Us.
Pac Man I only saw at gamestop and they had a bunch but did not see him at any other stores. However he seems to be one of the few that lasted til the end of the amazon gauntlet.
Inkling 3 pack I saw at Target and toys r us but in small quantities
The Boy and Girl Splatoon characters I saw most places and are the most common with Silver Mario
Jigglypuff was at both targets without too much issue
I got Charizard, Wario, Lucina, and Robin on amazon and did not see them in any stores
No Greninja's at the toys R Us I visited
Probably going to have to pay for Ness as I don't expect him to ever show up on shelves

Hey Larry - I see from your pic up there that you managed to get a Lucina this weekend! I was not as lucky. Did you happen to get any extras? If so is there anything you want that you don't have yet? (I don't see a Greninja up there)

Post by: larryinc64 on May 31, 2015, 09:05:50 PM
I imported most of wave 4a from Australia with help from a friend on another forum, I was only at Target and I only got Jigglypuff and 2 SilvMars

I don't have a Greninja yet, but she should have one coming in for me, but that will take 2 weeks to get to the US. :/ I also have a Charizard coming from Walmart.

Found a rare case of poor packaging by Nintendo.

I doesn't look like the base is that pulled up from the on e on the left.

Just got Jigglypuff and Greninja from eBay from a seller with damaged boxes (which is great because I open mine). That completes the Wave 4 exclusives, and incidentally Jigglypuff completes all 12 original fighters from the N64 Smash Bros for me! I guess I also have all the Melee characters that have been released so far in North America too.   :D

Time to start tracking down others I've missed before more come out:

-Little Mac
-Shulk
-Meta Knight
-Robin
-Lucina
-Gold Mario

@Arseen - that's a pretty complete list of Amiibo, but are you aware that there's going to be a "Dark" variant of the 2 Skylanders Amiibos & their vehicles?

My guess would be $20-$35, I forgot how much the ones I got were.

Amiibos are not region locked. Most of the rares in the US are cheaper in Japan or Europe.

Actually EUR and AUS differ a bit... the product code... Europe has EUR and Australia has AUS in it... hence I can't get perfect Gold and Silver Marios.

Nope, nobody lined up.

Do notice that they still are blue and thus have not arrived yet (they are back-ups I ordered in case one of the orders fell thru).
But if they do, I'm more than happy let you buy them.
They are European copies, compatible with US stuff but packaging is bit different.

If I've read correctly, the only major differences is the box has a number (ex. Mario No. 1) and says Super Smash Bros Collection on the front so that's no big deal to me. How much would you want for those four with shipping to the US? Just let me know when they arrive in the mail, thanks again!

Yeah the difference on front is not big, on the back it's bit more.

I have EUR and US Kirby.

I'll take photos in the evening after I get home to show the difference.

If (BIG IF) they arrive I won't charge extra, only the ammount I paid (20 Euros each + postage to USA).

Great day for amiibo hunting (sarcasm). Got off work at 11 and went straight to the nearest and only Best Buy in my rural area for them to tell me they had a line waiting earlier and were sold out. Before that while I was on my way to the Best Buy I saw a tweet that some TRUs had gotten restocks on Greninja so I called my local TRU and they had one left but weren't allowed to hold it for me. So after BB, I head back to the town I work in and just left where TRU is located, and they had already sold the lone Greninja within the 35 minutes had called. Two 25 minutes trips to two different stores and I was 0 for 2.

They did have two Wario's at least so I picked up one to keep and one to trade. In the rare chance anyone needs a Wario and is willing to part with a rare let me know. Looking for:

Villager
Wii Fit Trainer
Marth
Inkling Squids or 3 pack
Ike
Meta Knight
King Dedede
Shulk
Lucario
Greninja
Lucina
Robin
Ness
Jigglypuff
Dark Pit

http://www.gigantti.fi/search?SearchTerm=amiibo&search=&searchResultTab=

Few of those are available here in Finland and I can help get them.

Prices are in Euros, and postage to me is 11 euros max (sometimes even as low as 2 euros regardless of how many you order).

All listed there up to Zelda are available (so from Bowser onwards not available currently if ever again).

See number under Keskusvarastossa to see how many they have, for examble Greninja shows 50+ available, where as Sheik is less than 5.

FAIR WARNING: Their packaging is  not the best always so the plastic can be bit crushed sometimes (50% chance) not too bad but not necessarily collection item worthy.

It seems that if US folk want to collect all amiibos in individual packs they need to resort to importing as:

I'd like 2 Japanese R.O.Bs as well.

I have 4 Modern 8-bit Marios on order (1 Japanese (from Ebay) + 3 European) of which 2 will be extras (back-up and accidental order) to be sold if they all arrive.

So my Best Buy over sold their Ganondorf amiibo so mine got cancelled.  They gave me an $11 credit (what I would have paid) but since htis was the last Amiibo I plan to collect, it was fairly frustrating. 

Any idea if these are going to be hard to find in a few weeks/months?  Or will they end up like DOnkey King or Toon Link - hard to find at first, but now every store has 100x each?

I'd imaging Ganondorf is one of almost certain reprint getting Amiibos.

One of the online stores here in Finland says that they have 100+ left so, if all other fails I can help, but remember prices here are high.
20 Euros + shipping to me + shipping there = Maybe 50 bucks.

I appreciate that, but I don't think that'll be needed.  I am going for NA boxes, since mine will stay in the box.  I see some on craigslist here for about $40, so if I get desperate, I can binge.

Absolute worst case, I have a few uncommon CIB Amiibo I'm sure I can trade for one

Just got my Splatoon 3-pack in from Target today. I'm glad I waited and didn't end up paying $75+ on eBay. Wish I could say the same about Gold Mario.

The whole modern 8-bit Mario being exclusive to a Wii U bundle fiasco has definitely cemented for me that I will finish the Smash Bros and Super Mario lines, and then I'm going to be very selective about amiibos from then on. I'm tired of all the craziness and hassle just to pick up toys that should be as easy to find as Skylanders and Disney Infinity. Same reason I don't pre-order games anymore or worry about missing exclusive pre-order bonuses. The hype of scrambling to get them isn't fun. Plus they've taken over a lot of my desk...

Anyone have Zero Suit Samus?

I have a question for you - I got one, US version in the box.  This is the only Amiibo I have that has Spanish underneath the character's name.  Where all my other characters just have their name.  The spanish actually translated to Samus in the Zero Suit, so I get that this Amiibo actually has an adjective in her name - hence the translated description.
Still, it's the only character I have that has this.  Does anyone have a US version WITHOUT the Spanish subtitles?  Just wondering if one exists.
Thanks!

At quick check all US versions have French text aswell (Spanish part just says Samus Zero).
Same goes to Wii Fit Trainer and others that have translatable names.

Yeah Wii Fit Trainer freaked me out when i saw the difference. Though I got mine from a walmart so I knew it couldnt be anything but a North American release.

US have the name on the left side underneath the Smash Bros logo. EU/Australian have the name on the right side, top corner. Also has the release number (1-50 something). Japanese have Japanese writing (that's the easy one).

No region locking on these things so if you are in to opening them, it doesnt matter what version you have.

The exception so far is that ROB from japan is Famicom color theme. Where as US ROB is grey like the US Nintendo Entertainment System release. Also the three packs are singles in EU and Japan.

In US at launch Isabelle and Digby come only as pack in with the Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival (I don't know do they come in a double pack, in single packs or as loose ones), in Europe they are sold as separate singles as well.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/nintendo-amiibo-figure-super-smash-bros-falco/4575401.p?id=1219770992857&skuId=4575401&ref=199&loc=HiuZOO/9InU&acampID=1&siteID=HiuZOO_9InU-Kgjtlc0mmOmWKMiRumOYTA


Also Mega Yarn Yoshi Amiibo is an in store Toysrus exclusive on 11/15/15

And the Mii Amiibos are exclusive to Toysrus and drop on 11/1/15. Yet to find a link to order these online, but it does not list in store exclusive in the twitter tweet by Toysrus... just that they are only at Toysrus.

One final thing: Anyone missing the Villager Amiibo may want to head to Toysrus on 11/8/15 as they also confirmed he will be restocked on that date.

Got my first Amiibo today: DK. With the Skylanders game. I decided I'm only getting around 20-30 total and I'm done. The younger me would have got em all, but the younger me lived at home and had unlimited funds. I'm also getting only one of each chatacter, so this will be my only DK. No gold, silver or 8 bit Marios for me. No Japanese ROB, no wool Yoshis.

Anyway, Arseen, can you scan your Wii Bowser Skylanders Supercharged cover? I won't be buying this one. I'll get the 3DS one though.

Sure, probably on Wednesday I'll do fresh install of Windows 10 to my computer which hopefully then stopd fucking around and lets me get my scanner working.

Just a heads up, I went in best buy this morning and they had just put a new amiibo display out. Got a ton of the early ones I had missed and refused ebay prices on, Little mac, shulk, marth, lucario, captain falcon. Also had greninja (only one i did have lol)

I have zero interest in Amiibos, but I have heard that almost all of the 'rare' ones have been reprinted and are now readily available. The only difference with the reprint is the back of the packaging says that it's compatible with both Wii U and 3DS, whereas the first print only says Wii U.

He will need two of each version, one to keep sealed and one to use, so 4 of each kind. Amiibo madness!
Title: Re: Amiibos: Gotta Catch 'Em All.
Post by: Arseen on November 11, 2015, 12:42:05 PM
Well I ain't THAT crazy. :D

Only Amiibos I get of because of different packaging are:

#00 = Mii Fighters Triple Pak to keep unopened
#00 = Retro Characters Triple Pak to keep unopened
#00 = Inkling Triple Pak to keep unopened
#46 = R.O.B the Robot (EUR)
#46 = R.O.B the Robot (JAP)
#01 = 8-Bit Mario, Classic Color US and EU versions
#02 = 8-Bit Mario, Modern Color US and EU versions
#00 = Cyrus/K. K. Slider/Reese Triple Pak to keep unopened

And of course any new double/triple/etc pack announced.

And of course 5 copies of #45 = Mr Game and Watch (4 opened + 1 unopened).

OH AND NICELY GREEN THE LIST STARTS TO LOOK!!! 8)

Not amiibo, but does anyone need World Of Nintendo Wave 3? I have a extra set I forgot I preorderd from BBTS, minus Fox, he is claimed.

Arseen, this is not your set. (unless you want a extra to open :P)

It's Peach, Fire Mario, Goomba, and Pink Yoshi.

It's up for preorder on Amazon - $49.99.  Just ordered it.   :D

Unless there's something else inside that box, that's a $20 Amiibo.  Nintendo is wising up to the "collector value"

I might be willing to split a bundle, though I just put in my 2 weeks notice at my job and cant really drop $30 on a game I don't want.

I jsut want to have no job for a while, to focus on school and my art and YouTube stuff. So that means cutting back :S

I'll put $5 on it just in case if it is in store at GS, or look our for a Best Buy preorder, for 20% off.

I must admit these 2 weeks off from work have been nice, altough really busy.

I'll still have to see if they release the Amiibo here in Europe.

Lucas is coming Jan 22nd. (along with more animal crossing)
Ryu is also coming soon

Also looks like Roy is a Gamestop exclusive here in the states.

No word on Cloud or any other future dlc amiibo.

First eight arrived alongside Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival on November 13th in US and on November 20th in Europe.

Next four are coming out December in Japan and February in US.
No word on European release yet.

I found a Lottie at Target today.

I quit my job and I really need to off load my extras I got as pre-order back-ups.

I got US vertions of Toon Link, Sheik, Mega Man, Sonic, Wario, Charizard, Pac-Man, Pit, Ness, Meta Knight, Lucario and more

JP vartions of WFT, Capt Falcon and Little Mac

$15 each

I have to double check what is and is not claimed, but most should be free and I just want to break even, my friends are slow and did not pay me for the ones I ordered for them yet, so whatever. In a flip to that though I was paid by one friend and he still needs to pick them up.

I should probably stop buying for friends. Minus a few *Caugh*arseen*Caugh*

Nah. I've got a few (given to me). One is a paperweight, another was glued to a shelf in the shop for some reason, and the last is MIA. Must have fallen off of a table top and been kicked under one of the many tables at the shop, never to be found again.

My Target here in Central California had about 6 of them yesterday. Just got my Roy preorder in at Gamestop as well.

Picked up Lucas today.

Pre-Ordered Roy from Gamestop and Pre-ordered Ryu and ROB japan. All listed as March 18th release.

Bring on Cloud, Corrin and Bayonetta

While I guess it could change, when this was announced it was said that the amiibo would be exclusive to the bundle.  Most likely as a way to sell the Legacy Collection when all of the games are already available on the eshop.

What I meant is:
Will the Amiibo be loose inside the bigger box (like the Amiibos in Animal Crossing) or in retail package (like Chibi Robo and Inkling Squid were).

Come to think if the Amiibo stays exclusive to the collection former is more likely.

I so like the list finally starting to be out of red which means finally I can save money... Hey look Disney infinity... and Skylanders... With super rare stuff... And Lego Dimensions... :-X

Yesterday I bought the whole 3rd wave of Lego Dimensions (older waves I already had).

And during last month or so I've bought Whole freaking lot of Disney Infinity (all serie 1.0 and 2.0 sets and some power discs, and some serie 3.0 stuff) and Skylander stuff (randoms from here and there, including some rarer stuff).

Hard to say - we've never had an amiibo that's been really exclusive to a game bundle before.  All the rest have gotten or will be getting individual releases.

Not sure are you serious...

They are available separtely in retail packages in Europe, maaybe later in US also.
Also Cyrus/K. K. Slider/Reese are available in triple pack in US, but as separates in Europe.

I'm asking about the Gold Mega Man Amiibo to know wether to get 1 (If it is only available as loose in pak) or 2 (If it comes in retail package inside the box, one to open, another to keep unopened on shelf as decoration).

Post by: Megatron on January 28, 2016, 03:59:17 AM
Well, if the concept box are is the actual box, then I would guess it is loose.  Mainly because there is a whole lot of "blank space" behind the amiibo.  Most amiibo boxes dont have that, instead have some background color and images.  Now, if it's just concept art, then IDK.  I don't think anything has been announced one way or another.

The two big ones I haven't been able to find are Kirby and Wario. I hate how it's such a pain to find some of these.

I can now report that the gold megaman is in retail amiibo packaging, not loose.  However, the box is pure white with no writing or images.  So technically it's the same packaging as any amiibo, but just a blank canvas,

With Prime you are able to preorder these things with shipping for $2 under MSRP.  While I was at it I preordered Twilight Princess HD (GOt that for $12 under MSRP)

Indeed they had Amiibo news:
The Kirby serie I had listed as purple (as in Unannounced but possibly released in future) so I turned it to red.
But it won't to be Kirby and the Rainbow Curse -branded as I had hope so I dropped the Rainbow Curse part and listed on as Kirby altough it will probably be Kirby: Planet Robobot -branded, but I won't add that before it's known for sure.

So, I'm sure this may be listed somewhere, but I don't know how to find it. Which amiibo are "clone", functionality-wise as another amiibo? Sorry, I don't have Smash Bros. yet and haven't used amiibo in anything else.

Pretty sure:

SSB Mario/ SMB Mario/ Gold Mario/ Silver Mario = same

Same with the SSB and SMB versions of Luigi, Yoshi, Bowser, Peach, Yoshi and the gold and non-gold Mega Man.

Also Skylanders and not-Skylanders Bowser and DK.

Then I'm not sure of these:

Classic 8-bit Mario (both colors= same functionality?, but not the same as the other Marios)

Dr. Mario = separate character

Pit/ Dark Pit= not the same

Link/ Toon Link= not the same

Zelda/ Shiek = not the same

Samus/ Zero Suit Samus = not the same

What about the Wooly Yoshis? Same as SSB and SMB Yoshi? Am I missing any?
Title: Re: Amiibos: Gotta Catch 'Em All.
Post by: Arseen on March 04, 2016, 09:43:32 AM
SSB Mario/ SMB Mario/ Gold Mario/ Silver Mario = same

Mario Party 10 registers Normal, Gold and Silver as separates, as does Super Mario Maker.

What about the Wooly Yoshis?

Each Wooly Yoshi registers separate in Wooly World and the non-wooly ones give plastic Yoshi skin.
Super Mario Maker even separates Mega Wooly Yoshi.

If you guys haven't seen this already, and you want every Amiibo in one little package, then here's your product.

http://www.n2elite.com

Been thinking of buying that.
I mainly collect Amiibos so I can eventually display them nicely.

And seems that Marie and Callie come in Double pack and that Inkling Girl with Green hair, Inkling Boy with Purple hair and Orange Squid come inTriple Pak in US, so I need 1 copy of each.

And BTW: Once a again Squid is only available in Triple Pak in US, where as we in Europe get the single pak squid this time around too.

Hey Arseen, do they sell Super Mario Cereal in Finland? I just finally found and bought three boxes with the Mario Odyssey amiibo on them. Not sure if there are different ones, or they are all the same. If you like, I can send you a unopened box as well as an empty box with the cereal removed (it's been eaten). Just $3 for the full box plus shipping would do it. Let me know!

Also, I can't believe this topic hasn't been updated in a year! I know you've been buying all the latest amiibo!

They don't sell outside Americas I think, so sure why not.
Thank you.
PM me the postage price and your PayPal address and I'll pay immeadly.

Yeah it's way behind, I'll try to remember to update it (gotta update my own list first to see what I have).

I don't have quite all new Amiibos (yeah I said Amiibos, I know the plural is Amiibo, but I'm stubborn) but nearly all.
I think I'm only missing the new Samus and Metroid, some Fire Emnlem ones, triple pack of Wedding outfit Mario/Princess/Bowser and doubles of the new Splatoon ones.
Just haven't bought them yet, but maybe soon.

Amiibo, Amiibos, capital "A" or no, whatever. I'd love to have em all myself too, but I think I'll settle for 20 or so, plus "reproductions" of the rest.

Anyway, PM sent with updated shipping costs.

Hey, sorry to bump an old thread, but I just have a quick question and thought this would be the most relevant thread to post in...

Anybody have an open Waluigi? Could you give me the dimensions for him, please? (H,W, D)

Thanks
Title: Re: Amiibos: Gotta Catch 'Em All.
Post by: Nacho3 on December 16, 2018, 10:15:02 AM
I actually have an open Waluigi but no good way to measure him. Is there something you know the size of that I can take a picture of him next to for scale that would help?
Title: Re: Amiibos: Gotta Catch 'Em All.

How about a GB cartridge?, that should give me a pretty good idea,

Thanks a lot!

I have all my Amiibos in storage in big unmarked boxes so I could not sell them currently.
Just checked ebay and they have Japanese version for 17 bucks including postage, and European for 23 Pounds (~30 bucks).

I'm behind on some of the newer Smash ones.  I thought they would be easy to find since the last couple of waves were so I didn't pre-order them or anything.  Of course I didn't realize Gamestop was going to stop carrying them in stores more or less.  I think I'm only missing King K Rool and Piranha Plant to be "caught up"

Hey, so Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios (Hollywood and Japan so far) has these Mario arm bands that do cool things at the park.
(https://i.ibb.co/FHpqwF0/Screenshot-20230313-122158-Samsung-Internet.jpg)

https://www.universalstudioshollywood.com/web/en/us/things-to-do/lands/super-nintendo-world/power-up-band-and-mobile-app

They're $40 USD each. Pretty expensive, but they do also work as amiibo on Switch. I'm going to Hollywood next month and my wife and I will get one each. If anyone wants one (or all- Arseen?), just let me know and you can PayPal me in advance. Just actual costs, no profit required.
