Oh lawd. Starting to sweat over here.

First I've seen of this picture on GAF. Jeez these next three weeks for us in North America are going to feel like an eternity waiting for wave 3. Still though, I'm anxious with anticipation for it!
 
I didn't want Rosalina. These pictures have me second-guessing my decision to not at least try for a pre-order.

Lucario still looks meh. It's just a boring pose.
 
Just saw this on tumblr using IKEA shelves. Starting to wish I kept the packaging so I could utilise it in future somehow.

I installed those shelves for my son's bedroom actually. But he keeps his displayed in package. They do make nice shelves for the amiibos in package also. The depth to them is good. And you can display 9 per shelf.
 
I'm not super interested in the Pokémon amiibo just because there's so much other Pokémon merchandise available, and I already have several plushies and figurines and whatnot. If some future Pokémon games incorporate amiibo in a big way then I might reconsider.
 
Rosalina is my fav character. I'm so nervous about not having a pre-order.

I suppose it's good that it's Target with her exclusivity, if what people have said about them carrying extras in-store is the reason for the wonky times she went up. If this was GameStop we'd be looking at maybe one extra per store.

That's it. After a while, new Lucario, Pikachu, Charizard, etc just isn't new anymore.
 
Wow, Bowser looks rather cool. I'll pick him up down the line since I don't expect him to be hard to find due to being well known. Would be cool to have a game feature a Bowser costume.

.........hmm, I wonder if the next Mario & Sonic Olympic Games would have amiibo support. They already allow Miis as playable characters, right? I could see amiibo unlocking costumes in the 2016 game.

I'm loving how all of them look. I kinda figured early on that Bowser would prolly be one of the best looking for the next wave. I still want all of them though.

I'm glad we have this moment of quiet. Ugh the search for pit and falcon... it was awful. I know I'm going to have to hit up target early to even hope for a chance of getting a rosalina and luma amiibo
 
I was able to get Diddy on Amazon for retail. I think they still have him. He wasn't at any of my local stores though, then again neither was Luigi. Starting to think my area in general gets low stock.
 
http://www.amiiboinquirer.com/ has some new intersting pics of wave 3 in detail and a scary Target pic

Wave 3

Edit: Looking at the pics those are EU boxes. Also Sheik is looking down like Link :( They are numbered 22 Toon Link, 23 Sheik. 24 Ike, and cant read Rosalina
They changed the brace for the sword to gray! This is great. It was originally the same color as the sword which made it look like a weird extension of the sword.
 
Yeah. I like the European box's more. The info vs the U.S. 6+ crap

I couldn't agree more. I only wish I collected the EU from the start. Now I'll probably end up with US everyone plus EU Marth, Villager, WFT. If I decide to open them up I guess it doesn't really matter though.

I like how it lists their character number too. If you are collecting in the box, I would think this would be the best version to get.
 
Anyone any proven methods for straightening a marth sword? I imported it from JPN and its more like a boomerang than a sword.
 
Just saw two Captain Falcons, so now I have officially seen everyone but Marth in the wild!

They were at Nebraska Furniture Mart in Omaha if anyone is near there. They also had two of Samus (which they've had forever), Diddy Kong, and Luigi (who I'm only mentioning because I don't really see him around here much).
 
I think someone mentioned they may be in my area, but just in case there's more and are creepin';

TRU at Parmatown, OH had lots of stock. The $10 off $40+ purchase of Amiibo and all Toys to Life merchandise is going on, so you know if you're missing any older guys it could be beneficial. Lots of drunk Pikachu and Kirby too.

Target at Parmatown was overflowing with Diddy. I dunno if they just had a lot, or maybe hunters were blindsided and thought they were all Mario. Link, Yoshi and Dong were hanging on some end caps by themselves.

They all look great, but Shiek is still... I'll have to see him in person. Haven't been too impressed with the shots so far.


Considering Rosalina, do we have any Target insiders here in AmiiboGAF? I'm still hoping to walk in in 3 weeks, but I am just hoping that stores themselves get stock in!
 
I´m playing through Lego City Undercover and it makes me think that a Lego Game with Amiibo support would be so sweeeet. Imagine all your favorite nintendo characters in Lego form.

You mean her. But in any case I think Sheik could use some improvement, but still looks decent enough to me. Now, I wonder how Shulk will turn out.

Legolanders Infinity. Scan your favorite Lego Set to have that set of characters, vehicle, building, etc. appear in the game.

Europeans must love their numbers. I imported a bunch of Disney blurays that are vaulted here. Each one has a number on it for the Disney animated classics line.

Really neat and something we never see in the US.
 
Entertainment Expo was mentioned before as a legit retailer, so I spoke to one of their reps about the Little Mac listing. She told me that if it's up for preorder, then it means the manufacterer has told them they'll be getting enough stock to meet their demand. It's all subject to change of course, but it seems like there's a chance so I went ahead and placed an order for Little Mac. The only downside is that their cheapest shipping option is $4.95 for me, but the rep told me that they guarantee mint quality on arrival, since they deal with collectibles regularly. Oh, and they won't charge your card until it's in stock. Might be worth checking out for some of the rarer amiibos, since I know Falcon, Pit, and Mac are all up for preorder there.

Well there's this picture:

But I think that's the prototype.

I haven't seen this picture before but it looks like the actual figure! All the other pictures I've seen of Shulk don't have the clear support by his legs. If this pic is indeed final than this looks like a mighty nice figure, face and all!
 
So I FINALLY bought smash for WiiU! Picked up at best buy with my Gamers Club discount and a 10% coupon to bring the price to $45! Not too shabby😁

Now which amiibo do I train first...
