The moment he's up for preorder, he's mine.
Yeah, Ness is the only must-have that I haven't preordered. Wave 3 has Shulk, Dedede and Megaman so I already got those preorders in. All that remains is Ness for must-haves, with Pacman and DHD as "really wants", provided I find the cash.
 
Zero Suit Samus (Shorts Version)

Will wait for a Captain Toad one, and Toadette for the missus. Though I might look for something of higher build quality as I'd be more interested in it as a display piece than any functionality. At least until such time as the amiibos gain more interesting uses.
 
Finally saw some of these in person. I wanted to pick up a link but wow, that yellow bar stand is terrible. No idea how that passed through even one meeting.

Did get a Samus though and it's wonderful
 
Nintendo needs to send out an official PR about these things. I can't be the only one who hasn't bought any in case friends/family decide to buy me any as a Christmas gift.
If you get any duplicates [from loved ones], you could always sell them on Ebay for 10x the mark-up since Nintendo seems interested in keeping every one of these as an exclusive limited collector's item. :/

To be honest, after opening and using Link, I don't find the yellow stand to be bothersome at all.
 
Dude, don't wait

It might be to late man don't wait Christmas is coming mother hens are buying for the little ones.

Dammit, you guys are right. I should've taken home the ones I wanted when I picked up my Smash preorder. -_-

I need Mario, Peach, Rosalina, Link, Zelda, Fox and Samus at the very least.

Those shouldn't be too badRoslina isn't available for pre-order yet [that I know of], and Mario/Peach/Link/Zelda/Fox/Samus shouldn't be too bad [although you might want to track down Fox as quickly as you can as I've heard he's starting to become difficult to find].

Best of luck to you.
 
Okay. Why didn't anyone tell me the official release date of the new ones at EB Games was yesterday. Guess I'll head there in the morning. They are showing as in stock at my local stores.
 
if this is real, will marth continue to go up, or are these insane $100 prices just a result of newness/hype/frenzy/holidays and it'll go down regardless of restock?

Give it a few weeks and they'll restock. Maybe in another box but people need to calm the fuck down over this.
 
Ok, so after having nightmares I have attained enlightenment and realized this is just fucking toys and all I wanted was Ness and King Dedede, there is no need for me to go crazy because I can't find Marth or Villager anywhere =D.
 
Seriously, unless you're some collector, just get the ones you want. Don't look at "It's going for $100+?! I need to get in on this too!". That is a bad mentality and the reason why I can't get an FEA soundtrack for a reasonable price.

You know it would really help if a higher-up at Nintendo, like Reggie for example, would comment on this. I think the situation calls for Nintendo to address the problem. Maybe M/V/WFT are discontinued for now but it doesn't mean they won't make another batch in a few weeks or months. Maybe like you said they'll appear in a different box. Maybe at some point Nintendo will decide to sell 3 of them together in the same box, who knows.

Until then we're left in the dark.

This advice doesn't help if you want EVERYTHING so far. ;)

Like I said earlier, I'll quit once they start making obscure Pokemon and doubles (different poses) of characters I already have... But I don't know of too many Smash characters I wouldn't buy once.

edit: Was just thinking of non-smash amiibo possibilities. Splatooooon!

Whoa, why is it so much?

Yeah, it's sad to see so many people (even in this thread) admit to buying multiples with the intention of selling. That's part of the problem. You're still a scalper even if you don't completely exhaust the store's supplies.

You poor poor soul.

Limited release only in Japan back in 2013 I think and now it's no longer in print. Sexy 5 disc soundtrack with Lucina cover and artwork inside that will forever be out of my grasp.

Holy crap its $230 on Amazon. Dang. That art is nice though.

And I thought I paid too much for Knights of Iris.

Really glad I bought that soundtrack when it came out. I thought that it would be a normal jewel case but it comes in a nice digipak. Was really surprised when I saw that it was going for soo much :/
Whats up with Fire Emblem and shit being soo rare.

Awwwwwwwww I'm jealous yo lol

I wasn't into the fire emblem series back then so I wasn't aware of anything like this.

No idea why it seems to affect fire emblem the most like with the game cube and Wii games.

Yeah it's weird too because I got FE:A and thought that the music was awesome so I just went for the soundtrack. The music in the game is indeed awesome. That was back in April last year...it only cost me $45 :$ I actually thought that was too much for on OST at the time but looking back I think it was a good price lol. I don't mean to make you jealous lol, but the discs look awesome lol. I don't think I appreciate the OST as much as I should. Still hasn't registered how rare it is.
Keeping it on topic, I should be getting Villager, Fit Trainer and Marth soon :P
