Not open for further replies.
now if only Metaknight was on there, I wouldn't have to order from a JPN site...
though I think amazon.it is giving me a better deal.

Rosalina/Lucario at amazon.de = 40.99EUR
Rosalina/Lucario/Metaknight at amazon.it = 40.99EUR

You mind posting a link for Meta Knight because I don't see it on amazon.it? Please and thank you!
 
Lololol.

368 positive feedbacks. How could someone still be this ignorant regarding what they're asking?

"I would like 1000 dollars because I want to buy some more games for NES."

Solid logic there. Totally justifies to price. *shakes head*

Got a temp light in. Waiting on my LED lights + strips to come in. Also the rest of Wave 1 and 2 will be here monday. They are already 40 min from my house, out to delivery tomorrow. I'm ready for Wave 3.

Will take a better pic after I get it all done. I also need to get my DLSR back from my GF place. So no more shitty phone pics.



I actually put in an order for all 4 of them there. Never used them before. Hope it

that looks really really goood :D man I need to display my collection too!

---

hope I don't miss the Wave4 preorder rush on Amazon.com -gulps-

and I sure hope Amazon UK ships my retail exclusives pre-order
 
I have - only once, and it was for Marth way back in the day (you know, like two months ago). The figure was impeccable. I don't know if I just got extremely lucky or if that's how it always is, but the packaging had absolutely zero blemishes. I was very impressed!

Thanks! :) If they have it available for Rosalina, I'm definitely going to go that route.
 
Alright to my 4 Amiibros that are awiting their Pits and Falcons. I sent them out today and was able to get Priority Shipping on all of them. Should have them in 2-3 days. Check PMs for tracking (just dropped off so probably not updated yet). Enjoy!
 
my pit from amazon and holy trinity from amazon.de are supposed to arrive today!!!

im really hoping they confused Pit for Marth or WFT....

im also getting a wisdom tooth removed today, so that might help ease the pain...

who am i kidding.. it wont. :(
 
So I made an update to the rarity ranking based on how hard to find some amiibos are to find now, you may notice Villager went up to first place and Little Mac and Fox are now almost as difficult to find as the holy trinity.


~~~S Tier: Rarest~~~
Villager
Marth
Wii Fit Trainer
Little Mac
Fox

~~~A Tier: Rares~~~
Pit
Captain Falcon
Kirby (Europe)

~~~B Tier: Uncommon~~~
Diddy Kong
Samus
Zelda
Luigi

~~~C Tier: Common~~~
Donkey Kong
Kirby (USA)
Yoshi
Link
~~~D Tier: Even more Common~~~
Pikachu
Mario
Peach




Now, I made two preliminar Pre-order rarity chart, this is PURELY SPECULATIVE on my part based on how fast the preorders sold out and how many of us here on GAF and reddit are still looking for them, while the other ranking is base on how many are going to be available for the walk-in public.

Wave 3 rarity ranking based on sold out Pre-orders
~~~Rank A: Sold out the fastest~~~
Rosalina
Lucario
Ike
King Dedede

~~~Rank B: Sold Out fairly fast~~~
Shulk
Meta Knight
Megaman
Sanic.

~~~Rank C: Available for quite a while~~~
Sheik
Toon Link
Bowser



And now this is my personal list for how rare they are actually going to be once they release.

~~~Rank S: Oh god why I didn´t preorder~~~
Ike
Shulk
Meta Kinght
King Dedede


~~~Rank A: I had to be there at launch~~~
Megaman
Sonic
Sheik

~~~Rank B: All there was in the store was this guys~~~
Rosalina
Lucario
Toon Link
Bowser

So yes, I predit Rosalina and Lucario to be widely available at the store, even as exclusives, in the same way Zelda or Luigi can be found fairly easily even when scalpers tried to buy a lot of them at launch.

Oh, and King Dedede and Meta Knight are going to be stupid hard to find on Euroland, sorry guys.

Quote me when it happens ;)

good lists...I personally think though that all Exclusives are gonna be Rank S...but that's just me. With Lucario because of the TRU preorder, then cancellations, then re-preorder but less stock, and (at least for Canada) for Rosalina who we can only get in store, as Target doesn't allow us to shop online

Donkey Kong is slowly becoming rare by me. No GameStop within 30 miles has him, nearest BestBuy is an hour away and TRU only has two left. Grabbed one off BestBuy.com because I had an awards certificate. Won't be here for 10 days, but for $3.20 after taxes, I can't complain!

4. Mega Man

I will be collecting them all even though I don't care for some.
 
Jesus that looks amazing, I'm even tempted to paint my walls with that color wow.

Wow, thank you so much. It actually works perfect as a night light too. I was laying in bed last night reading and playing my 3DS before bed, and it was perfect lighting. Also awesome to look up and see the glorious amiibos.

Anyways, I'm about to head in to my doctors. Keep your fingers crossed guys. Also PM me your email if you want to be added to this community's private Google Doc that lists members and the amiibos they are missing. I'll make it when I get back.

I'm not excited at all about the rest tbh, still Shulk, Robin and Pit were/are my most wanted amiibos overal, with Shulk being numero 1.

Hope all goes well! And yes it looks great. I need to add more shelves to my display case too. Anyone know, can you cut glass on your own? I'll probably Google it later but thought I'd ask.

Toon Link.

He's the first (and only so far) one that I have pre-ordered.

Yep, getting into the game. I'm still waiting for Ness to be announced.
 
"I want these first" tier:

- Sonic
- Mega Man
- Dedede
- Meta Knight

"I'll get these eventually" tier:

- Bowser (on the grounds he'll probably he easiest to find)
- Ike
- Toon Link

"Might as well grab if they're exclusive & might be useful in the future" tier:

- Shulk
- Rosalina

"Meh" tier:

- Sheik
- Lucario

Edit: Hmm, so I just checked B&H and it seems while they have them listed on their site, but you can't add them to your cart, only sign up to be notified when they're back in stock. I checked & my order of Marth & Fox still haven't been canceled.
 
From wave 3 I'm getting Toon Link, Mega Man and Sonic. I try to limit myself to only one amiibo per franchise. Bowser, Dedede and Meta Knight are so tempting though.
 
I wasn't really interested in the Bowser one at all, but the final model looks surprisingly good. I may end up picking him up if I see him in stores once Wave 3 launches. Don't want to bother pre-ordering since I already have so many from Wave 3 pre-ordered...

P.S. If anyone wouldn't mind giving my avatar the little amiibo flair that would be greatly appreciated. :)
 
Wave 3 hype list:

1: Bowser
2: Ike
3: Town Link

Those are the only three I'm contemplating. Bowser is a given but I will need to see the others in person in order to make up my mind.

Lovely display you got there.

Love the poster too.
 
3rd party Amiibos can die in a fire
This should be Nintendo-only
#Nintendoist

except Mega Man (which should be a Nintendo character in the first place)
and maybe Pac Man

So basically you don't want Sonic. Who else is third party? I think I'm missing someone.
 

Nice. That could indicate that they have the figures in their warehouse already, or maybe they're on their way from the factories to Target's warehouse. Exciting, no?

Please do update us on your order progress in the future as it will help us figure out if our local targets are even going to have these on the 1st.
 

I've got 11 of them so far, had to start putting them somewhere, so I went and bought some blu-tack and just slapped them all up on a gray wall next to my couch. Thoughts? poorly aligned right now I guess, but as the collection grows that problem might go away.
EDIT: Taken down, rearranged, still doesn't look to good. Hm...
