Playing Captain Toad right now and no sight of anything Amiibo related in the game. Weird. There is supposed to be some functionality.
 
So glad I didn't buy that second WFT figure then. Hopefully I can find Marth and the Villager soon, and hopefully Lucario and the other exclusives will be easy to find.
 
I was just playing Smash against Samus and it clicked that her Amiibo/Smash render pose resembles that when she steps out of the chamber in her match entrance (I'm also aware of the pose in the Metroid manga).
 
A word from Nintendo Worker

Also GAFfers reported that Nintendo implied that they are going to send more GameCube Adapters along with Wave 2 shipments.

Edited: Silly me, I thought I made a new thread but I accidentally posted it in other thread.

Edited 2: That's good news for everyone who still looking for amiibo.
 
Thank you Nintendo. Hopefully this is real deal. Marth is the only one left that I want from Wave 1. I bet people will definitely regret buying Marth second hand.
 
no wonder marth's are sold out

not my pic btw

this is my pic


back when these were still new, and people were starting to have trouble finding them in stores, toys R us had them readily available online and also had 3 for $10 deal going. so I bought three for $30.

I also reported to the forums multiple times (I think in this very thread) the deal and that they were available and implored everyone to buy one if they needed him.

anyway, I still don't know what I'm going to do with them.

sell them to some Gaffers
 
I may have pre-ordered Meta Knight, Rosalina and Lucario from the UK even though I live in Canada because I don't want to miss them and the thirst is real.

Hopefully they'll be available for pre-order in Canada before long and I can cancel the order.

I'll buy one from you.
 
How limited do we expect Lucario, Meta Knight and Roselina to be? I'd love to get one of each, but I don't really want to order online and get a fucked up package, but I can't really wait to go and get one in store if they're going to sell out quick.
 
What's Rosalina's status in Europe?

In the UK she's on Amazon (as well as Lucario, Shulk and Meta Knight). No idea about Game, ShopTo and Nintendo's UK store yet. I imagine she'll be everywhere throughout Europe though. Can't see her and the other exclusives being "open" in some EU countries whilst exclusive in others.
 
Ike looks so cool except for the extra bit coming out from the tip of his sword. Shame about that.

Aw geez, they should totally recolor it. like make it grey so you can pretend its stone.

Nintendo said it would be patched in after launch. I'm expecting it in like February when Wave 3 comes out.
 
Ugh, I told my brother the news about $1 billion in sales for Amiibos, and he just says "Are people really that stupid?!," followed by me making an innocent jab at his cat girl doll collection. Then he gets all pissed and says that his collection is now worth $400 a doll, while Amiibos are worthless and stupid.

Is there really some stigma surrounding Amiibos, or is my brother just an idiot?
 
Do we think they will, in general, patch in Amiibo for games a good while after launch as a rule of thumb? Seems like a good way to keep it from being seen as on disc-DLC.
 
Pre-ordered Meta Knight from Best Buy, and have a preorder for Shulk from GameStop. Figured they will be impossible to find after the fact ;)

Damn, guess I should get ordering then. I was hoping there'd be quite a few around for a little bit, so I could go in store and get one with a good box and paint job, but I guess not. Bummer.

Edit: Looks like Lucario is already sold out at TRU? That can't be right.

yup sold out. what the fuck man.

TRU has a small allotment for preorders. I don't believe they take many of them. My local store has about 10 per figure I believe.

As far as I know, they take the preorders out of initial shipments and sell the ones that they dont have reserved. So of course they can't reserve their entire shipment.

Using my knowledge of how stores have been for Skylanders and Infinity, I'd say Rosalina will be very rare if she's not purchased ASAP. Target tends to not restock their exclusives after the first order. Best Buy *might* have more after the initial shipment or a large enough amount that it doesn't matter. Gamestop should too, although they have sold out of their Alt Deco Skylanders when they launch so ehh.

TRU, you'll never have any problem finding their exclusive figures. They have so many its not even funny and they shelfwarm forever. So Lucario should have a long and happy life hanging on the pegs of TRU's stores throughout next year....

Hopefully they restock or have them in store on launch day. I'd really like one, and I rather be able to see the packaging and paint job before I buy it. At this reate though, I'm not even sure if we'll see any in store. Jesus.

Oh cool, so there's hope for Lucario yet. Gooood. I guess my route on the day those come out will be Target to BestBuy to Gamestop to TRU then. Hopefully Roselina doesn't get wiped out immediately in my area.
 
I'm blaming GAF for preordering Shulk and Metaknight now...where are the others supposed to be exclusive to so I can get myself straight?

I've spent days and a half a tank of gas trying to find Marth and Villager, I really don't want to keep hunting to be quite honest...but the hunt is making me drive 30 mins north tomorrow morning just to check.

Wouldnt it be cheaper just to buy them off ebay at this point. time is worth money and gas is expensive. I understand not wanting to let them win but you may be costing yourself more in the long run.

Lucairo is exclusive to Toys R Us but sold out online. They should have them in store day one.

Rosalina is rumored to be Target but no info has been available. Watch this site for news.

yeah ill take 1!
 
Posted? So not discontinued?
It is based on the store. Like I know my local Target is going to stop buying Villager and WFT for Wave 2.
Nice to know that Amazon will probably have all the Smash figures for those retail stop getting.

Edit: If you want to know a Best Buy employee said their stores are not going to restock the three rumored.

I'm driving out that way anyway and I know some people at a store I'm going to that I haven't seen in awhile I used to work with...I almost bought one off CL, but I just can't justify spending 3X or more what it's sold in stores for when supply is supposedly still incoming. Especially when I want to open it...if I was keeping it sealed that's one thing, but I actually want to use mine.
 
I am a super cool and financially responsible person.
Nice, you got a Fox with a good paint job. Mine's got a fucked up nose or something, but the only other one in the store had some worse issues. It seems hard to find a good looking Fox like yours.

I think I'm gonna go return it tomorrow actually. Just went to open the box but I looked at it again first and DAMN is that nose ugly. It looks like it split open or somthing, so half of it is white.
