Does buying Amiibos get you Club Nintendo points?
 
Pleeeeeease people. Tell us where you are in the world when posting this kind of stuff.

They aren't available everywhere yet and this shit throws me into a panic.

You can click peoples' profiles to see their location on GAF, if they've entered it :)

I take mine out, but I keep the boxes just in case I move. That way I don't have to worry about them getting destroyed.

With all the break dancing Amiibo pictures that have been posted in this thread, the box might not be the most reliable way of transporting them.
 
I bet those in here opening the boxes are in the huge minority, huh?

I limit myself to buy only the Fire Emblem amiibo (for now at least), and bought Marth yesterday (yeah, I'm a bit late, but whatever). I openened it up as soon as I got home. I think the figurine looks ugly behind the plastic, and if I pay 13€ for it, I want to be able to take a better look than I can in store everytime.
Well, that and I don't plan on selling than thing anytime anyway, so why shouldn't I get rid of the packaging.
 
Of course they do, you don't have 5 cents of warped plastic reflecting light and obscuring detail. The only reason I can see to keep the packages is if you really do want to sell them someday (in which case effort vs return is highest right now). Otherwise it makes sense to instead work on having a nice display for them.

I'm keeping the boxes exactly for this, just in case.

These could be useful if I move elsewhere as well. :P
 
Yeah, the one morning I was unable to refresh EBGames.ca they sell out of Shulk. Go figure. :/

I'm still refreshing in the hopes that they'll allow more pre-orders, but I'm quickly losing hope. I do have one pre-ordered from Gamestop.com, but I'd rather not pay the additional +$30 to have it shipped here [possibly even more than that].

Are you sure about that +30$?

Have it preordered from GameStop too but I don't want to pay that much. =/
 
Was just on the phone with Target and they said preorders for Rosalina will start tomorrow. Orders that slipped through earlier will be cancelled.

Sweet if true. As long as it doesn't happen at 2:30 in the morning.

If I don't get Rosalina, I'll be tempted to sell off all my amiibos and live the rest of my days as a hermit in the woods.
 
I had my friend preorder one for me a few days ago. If I can get one from Target, I'm gonna cancel the order, otherwise I don't mind paying the expensive shipping as long as I can get one.

Same thought I had. Considering how fast these are being snagged up. I would rather pay the extra shipping than waste all that time and energy to get her.
 
For Canadians. Shulk is now available at EB for pre-order.

Of course today is the day where I'm in a meeting and miss this, despite checking all day yesterday and all morning fml.

I really, really hope they open up more, ugh.

Alright, I don't recall being dinged that much (if anything) when I ordered my RB3 keyboard... who do they ship with now that it'll be an extra $30?

Thanks for the info!

but damn not sure how long I can stay next to my computer to keep checking all day, when I pretty much did that today. lol

Trying to get one for you too bud :) *drinks juice box*
