I got a friend in Australia hooking me up with all future waves.

 I have an Ausie friend that i contacted today and he said he would help me with the couple i need/want right now. Any idea how steep it would be to ship 4 or 5 to the usa?

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

If you are not a in box collector, opening them would help save space.

There are 3 types of boxes, NTSC (US, Canada, Mexico), PAL (Europe, Aus), and JPN

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.

For anyone interested in getting Palutena in the US or Canada, it will be available at amazon.com and amazon.ca at 2pm PT on July 24th.  Good Luck.

Arseen, do you have anyone lined up to buy Villager, Fit Trainer, Ike or Meta Knight? If not I would be interested.

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.

I managed to get lucky on a few restocks so I have an extra NIB Dark Pit and Wario I'm looking to strictly trade for other rare amiibo. Shoot me an offer!

Arseen, I've decided to try and stay all NA for now. If I can't get everything I want I will be coming back for sure if you still happen to have those.
