Amiibos: Gotta Catch 'Em All.

[Arseen]

What sites to people use to import from Japan to the states? I'd like to eventually place an order for famicom Rob, modern 8 bit Mario and mewtwo.

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.

I don't know today, but I used to order from ncsx.com and play-asia.com. For Japanese DVDs I used Amazon.co.jp Amazon Japan won't ship video game stuff to US though.

I can maybe check to see if my TRU has one tomorrow, going up close to there doe Mario Maker from Best Buy.

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...

Is modern 8 bit mario really exclusive to the system bundle?  I thought I remember seeing him as a walmart exclusive.  Even had it go live on walmart before selling out

If I understood correctly, it's only exclusive to the console bundle at launch.
