I'm going to get them all if I can but I'm really excited about the suits for my Mii in MK8. Just started the game so haven't unlocked Mii yet but when I do it will be glorious! Want that Captain Falcon suit :D
 
Here's my little collection. I'm only buying a few of the characters I really like. I might pick up Captain Falcon and Pit in wave 2.

Nintendo is going to make such a lot of money off these.

Wired confirmed discontinuation too.

Also, to your point, LiK, if vendors can't order these things then based on that info it's pretty safe to say no more will be made. Nintendo can say all they want that they aren't discontinued but if distributors are being told they can't buy any from Nintendo, therefore stores can't get them... it's kind of the same thing.

Kinda glad I didn't buy any now.

They're not

Please see my previous post.

Wired confirmed this and so did Kotaku through Nintendo PR.
 
EB Games just cancelled my Marth order, knew it was too good to be true (they had a flash sale, Marth restocked, I must have been seconds too slow). Villager seems ok though.

Ah well, if they're not discontinued I guess I'll just wait. I wanted one to keep, not resell.

They're using the exact same statement, coming from the same source.

Odds are NoA has no idea what's going on. Entertainment Earth's still doing preorders for another shipment in January 2015.
 
I'm not sure when wave 2 is supposed to be available but I just saw a bunch of Zelda, Little Mac and Diddy figures on sale in a store down the street. Seems like maybe they were put out early?
 
So I guess im joining this darn club, had a few bought already but decided I didn't won't to collect them all so gave them to my brother before I opened them.

Anyway I traded in COD tonight and couldn't find anything to spend the credit on so I bought Link. I knew I would be buying Zelda soon and Shiek and Ike are an absolute must so why not buy Link now before he gets harder to find.
 
What have you guys' experience of ordering amiibo online been? Do the boxes usually show up all messed up and stuff? Or is it pretty much the same as buying in store? I'm considering placing orders for Meta-Knight and Shulk just so I don't miss out.

If those were the only ones out then that confirms only half of Wave 2 is coming this Friday.

They have all been fine, but I have gotten them from Amazon. No clue how good they would be from other companies.

Hm. I wish I could get Shulk and Meta-Knight through Amazon. Not sure how much I trust Gamestop and Bestbuy to ship these things in good condition.
 
Checked my local Target in search of a Marth and any early Wave 2 figures... store system also says that Marth has been discontinued.

...so, does anyone have a Marth for sale that isn't a billion dollars?

Edit: Checked GameStop too. They didn't mention Marth being discontinued, but when asked "Do you know if any of the new figures are arriving tomorrow?" one employee got quickly shushed by another before telling me "Yeah, looks like December 13th will be the day". Probably nothing, but an odd reaction.
 
do we have any reason to think that Ike will be any more common than Marth?

Just preorder Ike if you can. FE characters aren't anywhere near as famous as Mario universe characters so we can assume any FE characters will have a good chance of being phased out.
 
Welp, I just caved and pre-ordered shulk.
Did you do it online? I'm thinking of pre-ordering Shulk, but I don't know how well Gamestop will pack it. I don't want to get a fucked up figure.

Which ones are going to be out on the 13th? The wave with Zelda and Little Mac?
 
EDIT: Is megaman exclusive to toys'r us? I don't see a preorder for him at no other store.
No he's definitely available on amazon and bestbuy too.

Yeah but I set it up to pick up in-store so I'm hoping that If I get there early enough they''ll let me look a few over before I pay.
 
I received an email today from Loot Crate that their Wave 2 amiibo were delayed on Nintendo's end. Nintendo World doesn't seem to know when they'll be released either.

Oh, that's a great idea. I think I'll do that with him and Meta-Knight too

Assuming they all arrive at once, that's Captain Falcon, Diddy Kong, Little Mac, Luigi, Pit, and Zelda.
 
Just ordered Meta-Knight and Shulk. BB charged me already, GS won't charge until I pick it up.

Ah, ok. Are we expecting any of these to be another WFT/Marth/Villager situation? If so, I'll get them first. I'm guessint Zelda and Luigi at least will be plentiful and around for a bit.
 
Shiek is definitely getting customized when she releases.

Going to be a lot of work but it will be worth it.

HW Link is an easy customization but im still thinking Nintendo will make one themselves.

You can preorder online and pick up in-store at gamestop.
 
I wasn't going to get them on release since I figured they will always be in stock. But since this debacle, I just ordered 15 of them from BB and Amazon.ca.

Thanks Nintendo!
 
Yeah I like that design for Sheik.
Her, Link and Zelda from HW were my favorite versions of their designs ever.

Heck i'd buy every character from that game as an Amiibo even if they didn't do anything in any other games.
but that doesn't make sense for Nintendo so I doubt we ever see more than maybe Link as a special release.
 
So I've bought The Villager, Marth and Wii Fit Trainer...

I should have kept them in their boxes though. Next up is Samus, Fox, Yoshi and Kirby in this first batch of them.

Really considering getting 2 sets. One to use and one to collect... while i still can!

Shit, I bought one from them in the flash sale yesterday too. Haven't had it cancelled just yet though.

I probably would buy them too haha
 
Got $35 in best buy credit, since I need to use them by feburary, I might as well use them on all the Wave 2 Amiibo. Already have Captain Falcon and Little mac pre-ordered, will get: Zelda, Luigi, and Pit too. Hope I can get high quality ones, I'll get there early to make sure.
Accidentally slept in on Nintendo day and I missed the Marth shipments they had so I won't do that this time
Also pre-ordered Shulk at gamestop. Haven't pre ordered anything from them since I switched to BB.
Best Buy is where I hope to buy all my Amiibo if I can since GCU has them for $10.40
 
I was going to try to get all of them, but I'm starting to add it all up and it's going to be A LOT, especially once wave 3 hits. I think I'll stick to getting the Zelda characters, Samus, the exclusive and rare ones, and any other ones I think look cool. If I can get the others I will, but I don't think I'm gonna go out of my way to get them all (especially if I can't find Marth and the Villager and have a complete collection from the start).

And yeah, I hope they do Hyrule Warriors figures. I just started it today and DAMN is it good. And I know she isn't in Smash, but I'd kill for a Skyward Sword Zelda amiibo.
 
I fucking caved...I just bought Marth, Fit Trainer and Pit and I pre-ordered Lucario, Ike, Toon Link, Mega Man and Shulk. Gonna get Pikachu, Villager and Kirby next.

You've already lost. Your chain of thought started quite noble by saying you want to get just the Zelda characters, but you ended up broadening your list to include exclusive, rare, and cool amiibo.

Say goodbye to your money.

Is that site legit? I see they will not ship till january.
 
Girl at GameStop said they were getting their second wave on Sunday so I pre-ordered Lil Mac and Captain Falcon.

Oh and I ordered WFT and Marth from EE so I almost have wave one in the bag. Wave 3 will be interesting because almost all of them are sold out already.
