Own: Allx3Captain Falcons 2 for selling here if ppl want them.
Want: Wave 3. LOL(all on preorder with gamestop)
D-don't you dare joke about things like that...they could be listening
Thinks are not looking bright.
Where would YOU put the pole?
I think they should make a base that goes from one boot to the other, and from there a pole to the back, sounds the least risky.

Especially Link. Need that Hyrule Warriors weapon.
I know exactly where I'd put the pole.

Curved light blue piece connected to her left boot and small light blue wedge under right boot. I think that'd work fine.
I have a couple Captain Falcons im selling at cost plus shipping if you like pm me.
She's the only Amiibo I want to get out of the Smash collection.
Hopefully they will be well above the Marth variety in terms of appearance.
Who puts money on ZSS being Amazon's or Wal-Mart's exclusive?
Thanks for the offer, but I'm sitting Wave 2 out. I have all the ones I want so far. I'm just waiting on Wave 3 to get here already.

How rare is Diddy Kong at the moment? They have 4 at my local Target.
Also I arrived at Toys R Us today when the Nintendo rep was there. They pushed back the street date on Pitt according to an email she said she had, but she had still been putting out Captain Falcons locally and they sold while she was there. She hadn't heard the quotes yet about cards coming in the future, and she mentioned she's not to use the term "discontinued" when talking about any amiibos. Didn't sound like any were coming back though...lady looked soooo apologetic. Like she'd been through a war.
Anyhow even after fully stocking Toys R Us only had mario, pikachu, zelda, luigi, samus, fox, link, kirby, DK, Peach, Link.
They did not have...

Pitt
Wii Fit Trainer

Location is Meadowbrook Mall Toys R Us and Target in WV.

The Amiibo I want more than anything else are Wario and Duck Hunt. And Mega Man and Sonic I guess.

Hmm since amazon has been horrible with wave 2 preorderd should I cancel my wave 3 orders with amazon and go with gamestop?
She has essentially the same pose as Pit, so probably something along those lines.
I think the best case scenario is that her Amiibo ends up with a WFT-like cast.Thinks are not looking bright.

It's only logical. Anywhere else it would make the figure seem side-heavy, if that makes sense
Up her ass
I consider 4 rarity levels. Common, uncommon, rare, and discontinued.
Diddy, to me, uncommon. Pit and Captain Falcon are rare.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
Sweet! Amiibos are pretty easy to find at my local game store in Osaka. I'll pop by and buy some when I get home.
Wouldn't be surprised at her being a Wal-Mart exclusive.

Want: Captain Falcon, Pit + the wave 3 stuff
I'm mainly only buying Amiibo's I know/care about from nostalgia gaming, unfortunately I grew up on the NES and SNES so that is most of them, but not going out of my way on ones from games I never played (villager, lucario, etc) or that I don't feel a huge affinity for (Yoshi, peach, etc)
Unfortunately I just saw in email that Toys R Us cancelled my preorder of 6 wave 3 Amiibos that I had bought w/ the black friday buy one/get one 1/2 off deal. They canceled my sonic, Ike, Kind Dedede and Sheikh...mega man and bowser seem still active but who knows. I've been able to recreate it by preordering from a combination of Gamestop and Amazon, but who knows how stable those are. All this is really frustrating, I think I may just turn to Ebay at some point soon to complete the collection of ones I want.

Wow, Pit has still not appeared at my local Gamestop. I wonder if they only send shipments to stores that have pre-orders?
I still don't know which one I want to get first. I signed up for Best Buy's Gamer's Club Unlocked deal which works on Amiibos. Unfortunately they didn't activate it correctly and so I'll have to go back and get it sorted out. Might get a Samus while I'm there. Or a Pikachu. Or a Kirby. Or a Link. Or a Little Mac.

Were they horrible? I haven't heard of any cancelations from Amazon.
How would you stack all figures available, by that metric?

I preorderd all of wave 2 first day thy went up and no shipping dates. All iof my wave 2 minus pit (still looking for him) I received from elsewhere.

In the EU He's officially out.
Oh my, payday was yesterday which means buy all the Amiibos. All I need now are Little Mac, WFT, Yoshi and Kirby. (I've ordered Captain Falcon and Marth) (All in one day too)
So I thought I'd give my points as to where I bought my Amiibos for those in the UK (or EU looking to import).
Tescos Direct: Are selling Amiibos at the cheapest (£10).
Amiibos of Interest/In stock as of typing(23/12/2014):
Captain Falcon, Pit, Fox, Donkey Kong
Argos
Amiibos of Interest/In stock as of typing(23/12/2014):
Argos is where I got (fortunately) Villager from. As of typing he is currently in stock. Pit, Fox, Zelda.
*BE WARY OF BUYING FROM ARGOS. I recommend them but there is bullshit attached. (See below)
Toys R Us:
Amiibos of Interest/In stock as of typing(23/12/2014): Wii Fit Trainer.
However this is for collection only. So if you want to travel to Stevenage, then that's your only option (I'm in Hertfordshire so I dunno about other Toys R Us around the UK). I'm probably gonna head down there tomorrow for her.
Captain Falcon, Zelda, Pit, Donkey Kong.
GAME:
Amiibos of Interest/In stock as of typing(23/12/2014): Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Pit, Zelda.
Out of nowhere they had Marth in stock.
Shopto
Amiibos of Interest/In stock as of typing(23/12/2014): Diddy Kong, Zelda, Pit, Donkey Kong.
About Argos.
Some arsehole at Argos thought it'd be a real funny idea to put stickers on the box. So when you go to buy the figures in store, they come with this ugly sticker that which is very hard to get off unless you are very careful.
I managed to get it off OK but you really need to be careful. When I got my Samus I peeled it off too quickly and spent the next 30 minutes carefully rubbing the glue off.
It only get's worse, if you decide to order online from Argos as opposed to buying in store, they add even more stickers!
The box was also crushed and torn in areas. That's why I'm gonna end up selling Zelda and Diddy Kong to anyone who wants them (I assume it's for people who want to open Diddy and Zelda and play with them but I would like the keep the box close to mint condition). PM me if you're interested. (I'm also up for trading them with Kirby and Yoshi)
Yeah I can't believe hasn't gotten an exclusive for these yet. They were all about Skylanders and Disney Infinity with Drill Sergeant and Rapunzel as exclusives. But if Walmart does get some amiibo exclusive, they NEED to do better at refreshing their stock. I don't think the 3 Walmarts in my area have refreshed stock since the beginning.

I've got a sealed Little Mac, looking for Captain Falcon in the US. Anybody up for a trade? PM if so.

Does the German retailer Saturn ship to the US?
Also, be wary of reserving for store pick up at Argos. I reserved Pit, when I turned up to pay the price on the machine was £9999. I assume that was their bullshit way of saying they were out of stock. Tesco is the best place at the moment.

at least they havent canceled anything yet, they just suffer with stock like everyone else. I have bowser preordered with them, but it's saying release date in 2/28 instead of 2/1 like it's supposed to. I'v got Shulk and Bowser preordered at gamestop too.
Unfortunately I mean "OR". I don't even have a Wii U yet. I'm poor
You'll get there, champ. You'll get there.
