WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME GAF!? I've just ordered a Pikachu ;_;

I swear. Last one from Wave 1 (not including Villager and Kirby when they are back in stock in places and not double the price or higher).



Though Mario is kind of a classic... and Samus can get a cool costume in MK 8....

That's what we all said....hahaha. Let the Amiibo take over :)

I'm at 11 now, only missing the Villager. I can't resist :3

And now I've realized wave 2 comes out so soon. We're in December. My poor, poor wallet.
 
So Wave 2 is coming out, which one of the six do you think will be the harder ones to acquire?

I have a feeling Captain Falcon might be one of those.
 
I've seen plenty of custom colored Amiibos, but has anyone attempted to replace Link's pillar with something that looks a little less disgusting? Maybe even tried to replace the figurine to make his pose look more like the actual trophy?

That's of course not as viable as just painting a figurine, but isn't there always someone? :P
 
I preorded the Pit Amiibo on Target since its sold out everywhere else. Hopefully they restock on Marth soon since its sold everywhere near me.
 
Why doesn't scanning an Amiibo automatically upload to Club Nintendo and gives me some coins? All new games should come with NFC Club Nintendo cards instead of printing it on the case slip now.
I'm guessing because it saves on paper? Its really annoying for me since you have to take out the slip cover to even look at the code.

Zelda, Diddy Kong and Luigi will be readily available everywhere.

Mac, Pit and C Falcon are going to be the 3 rare of the bunch. I don't see Nintendo producing many of the these guys. Maybe a little extra for Pit.

Go home, Yoshi. You're drunk.

I saw these guys at Target today. Talk about Yoshi Topsy-Turvy!

OH! I get it! all the Yoshi in the UK got drunk and wound up in Targets in America. That explains so much. I bet you have a bunch of upside down Kirbys too!
 
Spinner in Hyrule Warriors is awesome. The non-Link amiibos give you decent materials, too
when Koei isn't trolling with 1 Rupee drops
. Going to Best Buy to preorder the second wave right now, then back home to set up the Xmas tree and scan in the MK8 costumes.

December kicks ass.

How do those drops work? Do you get them one time only per Amiibo or can you grind materials by reusing them?
 
I'm pretty satisfied with this Samus even tho there's a few annoying paint errors. At least she isn't leaning visibly. :D

The lean is way more visible IRL than some tiny paint errors since the figures are so small.

What's the exact day? Because I really want Cap. Thinking next pay day I'm gonna get him, Funko Wampa and Funko Stay Puft.

Pit, Captain Falcon and Little Mac have been kind of scarce pre-release so I'd be looking at those characters.
 
Out of curiosity, are those of you who are buying multiple keeping them in box for collecting purposes or taking out and using?

I have Villager, Marth, Trainer, Kirby, Pikachu, DK, Mario and Link (with more on the way) but of all of those I've only opened up Link. Got him to 50 in no time.

I'm half torn on just opening them all up and displaying / using them for myself or just holding off and seeing which ones are most desirable for resell purposes.

Got Brollager, Brath, Kirbro and Wii Sis. I playing 5-Player Smash to get them to 50 and then will play probably 2-Player Smash, 3-Player Smash or 4-Player Smash to practice and try to find a character I like.

Plus, I like displaying them.

I hope so. Guess I will preorder Pit and Zelda and get Diddy later. I missed the figma so I'm inclined to pick up Amiibo Pit.
 
Finally got to check these out in-person today! A lot smaller than I expected to be from the picture's I've seen on here. The faces and detailing seemed fine on most of the ones I saw, one of the Samus' had a few paint defects but it was all really minor stuff you'd never notice under normal viewing conditions. I grabbed Samus, Mario, and Yoshi. Kind of wanted Donkey Kong too, since he looked nice, but I needed to draw the line somewhere.
Until Captain Falcon is out, that is.

Amiibos can be registered on Club Nintendo or is this just wishful banter?

Wishful thinking yes
 
Right now, all eight of my amiibo are in an eight-player battle. Palutena's Temple. All items on High. Ninety-nine stock.

...they've been fighting for a while now.

My amiibo don't seem to know how to fight each other. They seem to all mainly target human players, and if all that is left are amiibo they will just jump and air dodge around each other for fourty minutes before some one musters up the gusto to actually attack.

Mine are the complete opposite. They're pummeling the shit out of each other, playing King of the Hill on the small island with the tree at the bottom of Palutena's Temple, lol. There was a stretch where nearly all of them were stuck in some sort of glitch, too, glued to the ceiling and spinning in place at 999% damage. It took Kirby using his Ultra Sword Final Smash to break them free. O_o

It'll be nice if they have a huge stack of goodies for me to collect at the end of the match, but if nothing else it's nice background noise while I tend to some work. It's like managing a daycare full of rambunctious children!

I trained each of mine in mostly 1v1 matches. Samus and Marth are very distant, and try to keep away from you. Fox however is much more aggressive. Wonder what I did to make them that way.
 
So now that I have my Wii U and an excellent assortment of games, am I strong enough to resist the urge of these pretty good looking figures?

Are Samus, Mario, Pikachu, and Link my next purchase tomorrow?

If you're even questioning it, you know the answer. Better clear space for at least two dozen.
 
I was thinking of getting one more to have four player battles. Who to get, though? I know Kirby and Yoshi will be supported and a Mario amiibo makes sense from an investment standpoint.

Kirby is cuter to look at but Yoshi is cuter when he makes faces and noises. I can't believe that this matters to me.

I guess just get them all. Because that way, you'll have it.

Arrested Development anyone?
 
I went to two stores and there was only one Link between them.

He was leaning forward a lot and you couldn't see his face looking at him front on. Are they all like that or is leaning a problem with Link's?

Anyway I bought Samus, Yoshi and Kirby :P
 
This might have been posted but someone paid around $2500 for a Samus Amibo with cannons on each arm.

These little things are going to put some of you on the street. Be careful.

EDIT - Well shit, there is a thread. Sorry.
