That's really awesome of you! I'm afraid though that these orders might just sit in limbo for at least a month...

Yeah I'm not expecting anything. Worst case they never charge me and never get them in. Best case, a lucky amiibro/amiigal gets one for free and helps them finish their collection.
 
Got a WII U on xmas and went and grabbed a copy of Smash Wii U last night along with a Peach Amiibo... my Target had shitloads of diddy kong, and I wonder.. is this character really popular? I don't understand how some of these production numbers seem to be inprportionate to a character's popularity...

anyways, here are the amiibos I want, because I like the characters... how fucked am I going to be?

Villager (already fucked, I know)
Pac-Man
Game and Watch
Toon Link
Duck Hunt
Dr. Mario

I guess all the characters I legit like are not popular enough.. it's tough having such refined tastes...
 
Anyone that has an extra UD Rosalina please let me know if we can work out a trade. I F5 the Target site everyday but nothing. Thanks
 
Anyway, I changed my avatar to regular version again, I'm not really feeling real pic january. I really want to add the amiibo thingy, if anyone can help me out with that I'll be forever grateful.

You have my favorite neogaf avatar, so here!

Yeah, just be aware it says that they charge you immediately if you use PayPal.

Amazing! It looks even better than what I had pictured in my mind. Thank you!

Lol that's amazing. The logo actually works with the image too. Like it's an expression with the mask off hahah.

I'm so happy we are having community avatars now. You guys are the best.

It is a great idea and this is perhaps one of the nicest communities in GAF, everyone is so passionate about this toys you can't help but feel infatuated by that energy,

Hmm, now who should I open today, Captain Falcon or Pit? Maybe I should wait until I get a good name for them... not that I'm good at coming up with names.

Other than villager, there's not really any reason you'd be "fucked" on any of them as long as you properly preorder as soon as they become available. The only one you can preorder right now is toon link, I'm sure he is still available somewhere, maybe gamestop.
 
So, as a Canadian living in Alberta. I pretty much have no chance of getting Rosalina. :(

I only collected a few characters; Samus, Marth, Zelda, Link so far. Will get Ike, Toon Link, Shiek, and Mega Man. No other interesting characters for me yet.

I ordered Rosalina and Lucario from Amazon.de. Not even gonna bother with Target.


That B&H site looks mighty tempting. For international orders. they charge when you order and on shipping when you order in U.S.
 
I'd like a custom Amiibo avatar, though I don't think that's possible without it looking like a mess. :lol

Maybe if the sprite was a bit less big without a background, like, transparent let's say, something would be doable, but that's lot of fuss just for this, hahaha!

I've done Lucario through Amazon.fr, but I am getting really tempted to go that route with Rosalina as well. The only thing keep me from doing so is Target's twitter account stating that she will be open for preorders again "sometime this month."
 
Does anybody here know what a PSL amiibo is, as in this listing? Is it just a normal amiibo? What does PSL stand for?

Looks like it means "Pre-Sale Listing", meaning the item isn't readily available yet from the seller (if it's from Japan maybe Luigi isn't out there yet?).

But it doesn't mean anything special about about the actual Amiibo - it's just a regular Luigi, I think.

EDIT: Says item due for release December 2014. So I guess they just haven't updated the listing to reflect that.

I know the feel for Rosalina, I'm in Quebec.

I just bought it from amazon.fr instead, since you can't even buy anything on their website.

No wonder things are going bad for them since they're in Canada.
 
So my Marth Amiibo actually came today but the box is dented in several places (I plan on keeping them in their box). They didn't even put the thing in a box, just some cheap bubble pachage. Is it worth the hassle to ship back to the UK? Is Marth even possible to still get there?

Amazon? I would call and bitch. Learn German first.

Let me see what I can do with it. No fuss at all. Anything for you guys. :D
 
What is this Wave 3A talk?

Is it rumored to be split like Wave 2?

Nintendo needs to communicate already. This is getting fucking ridiculous.

In Europe and Japan Wave 3 is split into two parts.

The first part (AKA Wave 3a) is Ike, Sheik, Rosalina, Lucario, Toon Link and Bowser and they release this month.

Part two (AKA Wave 3b) is Meta Knight, Dedede, Mega Man, Sonic and Shulk and they're due in February.

In North America all of Wave 3 are February.

If you could send me the original pic (the bigger version of that sprite), that would be helpful. Couldn't find it. I made some with another picture that isn't a sprite. Looks good. But if you want the sprite style, I can make that one transparent if you can find the original version/bigger. Here is what I have so far:

Actually, your sprite version doesn't look that bad with the logo tbh.

Yeah.. I suppose you are right, but the ordeal of trying to preorder the MM 3D LE has me nervous for future nintendo limited-type preorders lol... I also wonder if they will even make an amiibo for every character.. I've heard people say that is the plan but have not found any sources from Nintendo to confirm this.

I grabbed both, but I love the first one!!! Thanks you so much! :D

It looks pretty much like my older avatar but it's a drawing instead, love it! Hopefully no one on GAF already have this one.

Alright, that makes sense. Thanks for your response!
 
Does anyone know if B&H has an express checkout? Right now I have the trinity sitting in my cart, but I'd hate to be too slow when the store reopens and lose them while putting in my payment info.

I made a post here on it.
However there are a few things to note of.
This is the UK release date (and I would assume EU/Japan).
However it seems the North American release date is all on the same day at some point in February. To me that's a mess however it would make sense.

All I know is there we're getting two different waves so I'd ask your Toys R Us/GameStops on any confirmation on it since there are different retail exclusive Amiibos.

If I was to suggest anything, it would be to get to ready to pre-order wave 3 Amiibos (Rosalina) as she'll be apart of Wave 3 on the 23rd of Jan.
 
Pretty sure Japan is getting all of Wave 3 in one go at the end of the month.

I'm just waiting for Peach to go on clearance somewhere because she seems to be the most in stock amiibo ever.
 
Fuck they look lovely. I now want to get Rosalina, she looks ace...damn it. Toon Link looks even better than expected. Love the texture on him.

Also, anyone got a spare Villager or live near a UK Toys R Us where there's one in stock. I have Marths near me and would be willing to trade a Marth for a Villager. HMU UK amiigos.
