Amiibos: Gotta Catch 'Em All.
Hoggs17:
I made sure to get my Toad preorder in (as the dumb internet consensus was that he would be rare and thus not available in stores). Then I go to target and they have like 10 toads. Oh well; mine is in the mail...somewhere. Come on Wave 4!

Got Mario Party 10 today with the Mario Amiibo.
Went to the store and bought Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi. Just need Toad and Bowser, which were both available for purchase on Gamestop.com so I went ahead and placed my order. :)
Only missing the gold variant of Mario :(
[edit]
A friend of mine pulled through and is shipping me a spare Gold Mario.

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 :)
