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?

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

How much of a difference is there between the European and North American versions of the amiibo? I know the figures themselves are the same but what about the box? I may be interested depending on how similar they are

I believe the fronts arew identical, back side is in 9 languages.

I'll scan the back of Peach to show you.

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.

I'm in need of a Marth, Villager and Trainer as well!

Arseen and tik: Thank you for the pictures! That's close enough to the US version for me. If I manage to come up with enough money I would be interested in all three. I will let you know, thanks!

Larry: Your collection is looking good! But actually the figure I like the most is the Mario Sunshine one, my personal favorite of the series. Where did you pick that up?

EDIT: I was just browsing around reading about amiibo when I across this subreddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/amiibo/comments/2rgfte/nintendo_rep_inperson_miniama_answers_thanks/. Assuming the guy is legit (seems to be but you never know), that is a lot of very good information for amiibo collectors.

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.

Okay I'm standing at 17 Amiibos now. That would be enough to start the group purchase. I still need a responsible guy who distributes them for me. Money has to be paid to me up front. Total would be 333 Euro (415 USD) shipped to a door in the US. Who wants to do it?

If I don't have to pay for it all, I would do it. I just need lists.
I have around $450 or so in my bank account, and a paycheck this week, plus I'm going to try to get my overdraft fees refunded.

I'm already Amiibos R Us, without the site errors.

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?

Well, I don't think I'll need a Pit.  ;D
What was the shipping before? and how much would this make each amiibo?
