When wave 2 coming again? I wanna grab Cap, Pit and Ike before they become rare
by rare I mean non existent just like the other 3
 
Diddy Kong seems to be sold out at Best Buy and Amazon.
I guess he is a the next rare.

Edit: Best Buy said I had to be 17 to buy Captain Falcon Amiibo. LMAO!
 
Just for an anecdote:

Here is how the amiibo section at the Wal-Mart in Porter Ranch, CA looked...

Better than mine in Houston.

Yesterday Toys R Us and Gamestop online had pretty much everything in stock except for the rare 1st wave amiibos, today, so many are sold out. Welp.
 
Just came back from the local EB games and the manager said Diddy and Little Mac will likely be the hardest to get.

For some reason his system said Capt. Falcon wasn't part of this wave, so I just went and preordered one from Walmart.

The store is still well stocked with Mario, DK, Peach, Pikachu, Link, Fox, Samus and Kirby amiibos.

I also thought it was worth asking about the status of the Gamecube adapters, and I was promptly laughed out the door.
 
I called my local gamestop yesterday and asked about Marth. Here is the employees response:

"I have gotten so many calls about that thing! Dude, give up. If you don't have him now you won't find him anywhere in the city, he's gone for good."

I almost asked him about the gamecube controller adaptor next... 😁

More adapters are incoming. Don't worry about that one.

"Hey, have you gotten the Battletoads Amiibo yet?"
 
WAVE 2 OUT AT MY TOYS "R" US.

I see all but Luigi, Pit, and Captain Falcon here. No Marth, Villager, or Wii Fit Trainer however.

Still have Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and GameStop to go.
 
Good grief. I didn't expect the demand to be this crazy all over the country.

I've only purchased Link and Marth, but these pictures are unbelievable.
 

Derpy Diddy strikes again! So were is everyone getting the Wave 2's from already? I got Pit and Little Mac preordered, but wanna see if I can find a Diddy in store once they release.

Also preordered Meta Knight, Shulk, Toon Link, and MegaMan for Wave 3. Still want Lucario so badly :(

Protip: To a small retail place, phone calls are either fine because it's dead, or the biggest pain in the ass ever. Yes, they are more likely to know what you're asking straight off rather than checking first, but they are also probably running the place with 2 people, and if it's a busy time (read: most of the holiday season), helping 4 customers at once when you call.

my Toys R Us made a mistake and had these 3 from wave 2 on shelf.
 
If you had all of the Amiibos exactly to scale, you'd be looking at centimeter tall Kirby figures and quarter-inch tall Diddys. The humans are all more or less to scale.
I know but they are not even Smash scale because I think Little Mac is a foot taller than Diddy Kong. Diddy Kong is bigger than his Smash model.
Bowser is also smaller than his Smash model.

You have a point though because Kirby would pretty small.
 
FYI, I was checking out some Diddy's and some of them look pretty good pupil wise, so you may want to try and find some in store and compare.

I very carefully scanned the Little Macs and picked one that looked awesome, but there is a little bit of wonky-eye syndrome for him as well
 
I have a diddy from a different line of toys Nintendo did and feel the pose is much better. These "animated ones" are kind of odd.

Diddy's eyes. It looks like they crafted him to only be looked at from one specific angle and then manufacturing happened.
The thing thought is they had a 3D model to work with because Smash trophies are in 3D already. So I have no clue how they messed up the execution of so many.
The Marth sword can be explained by the plastic sword stand sucked.
 
Zelda looks presentable I guess. I still think her hands are really large compared to the official artwork, but this is probably the only Zelda figure we'll be getting.
 
Are the wave 2 amiibos being shipped at different times?

I got an email from best buy saying that the Zelda amiibo release date has changed from 12/31/2015 (placeholder) to 12/14. But my C Falcon and Pit didn't change...
