They somewhat are, the Nintendo site has a list of Amiibos that were manufactured, for some quality approval thing, and they were up for a little bit.

Thanks dude just ordered two.

Yeah I noticed that too. Sadly the mario party 10 pack was up hours before the others or i would have gotten them all. Ebay is ridiculous on toads.

I also saw in japan that toads game is now being packaged with the toad amiibo. Wonder if that will come state side?

Guess the question is when Wave 4 of the Smash Bros line will go up for pre-order.

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 :/

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!

Thanks for the offer, larry! I might wait and see if these play out. If I still need them later and they aren't spoken for, maybe we can arrange something. I'm located in Canada, but have access to a mailbox just across the border (it comes in handy).

Larry I would be interested in Mega Man. It is the only wave 3 I did not pre order.  On a side note my Rosalina from GAME still has not arrived. It was shipped on 1-19.  At least I managed it get one from Target last Sunday.
