Oh man, all this hassle starts to pay off, all of these, together like that, it feels good! :D

Hm.

My SO's favorite character is Villager, but she doesn't want to pay $50 for him. He's one of the rarer ones, right? What are the chances that it comes to a more reasonable price?

Also, are amiibos region locked? Like if I bought one from japan, would it work?

If they announce an Animal Crossing Wii U game, there COULD be an Animal Crossing Amiibo line.
 
So do I but I wish Wario had a bag of gold coins.

Hehe indeed.

At least it will be interesting to buy both Wario Amiibo from Smash Bros and Wario from the Super Mario line (if they release him) since they have completely different costumes. That's the only thing I don't like about this line so far, the fact that they look too similar.
 
Lucina, Robin, & Pac-Man for me at the moment. Maybe Wario (I feel like he'll be uncommon, but not rare) and Ness down the line. Charizard, despite being my favorite Pokemon growing up along with Pikachu, I don't think I'll get at the moment. Plus I'm sure he won't be hard to find down the line.

Maybe if that Pokemon Shuffle 3DS game supports amiibo (scan once per day for extra lives, power-ups, etc.), I might grab him & Pikachu.
 
what, are you gonna get duplicates of wave 4? lol
At this point I think that's the plan for everyone. Whenever a new wave is available for pre-order you order 2 of each so that you can help fellow GAFers get the ones they miss.

I have no idea why people keep thinking along these lines I really believe Ness, Charizard, and Wario will be common. Pac-Man will be uncommon, and Robin and Lucina will be rare.

But I also feel like there will be an Earthbound announcement this year also... maybe not a new game but Mother 3 localization or something ala: E-Shop.
No idea why I think this will be true but I do?
 
Really want to grab Lucina, Robin, and Ness. Lucina in particular is one of my favorite Smash characters so that's a priority for me. Maybe Toad at some point, but I need to hear more about that Amiibo support. Seemed kind of superfluous to me.
 
Yoshi looks like he's supposed to be holding a towel in front of him like "hehe don't look at me"
Lol can't unsee :P
I like Mario, Luigi, and Bowser better than the smash poses.

To me, although they are still based off of pre-existing renders, these Amiibo look like they were actually made to be figures. They look a lot more durable and hefty whereas the Smash Amiibo don't and thus need a bunch of tubes and pipes and poles in order to stay up. The Peach Amiibo looks amazing :)
 
Wave 4 thoughts
Charizard- looks off, it's like his jaw is fused to his neck...i'm gonna hold off for now.
Wario- Is alright, I might skip him in hopes for a traditional Wario amiibo from the Super mario line
Robin & Lucina -Look good for now...downgrade is expected will probably still get lucina
Pac-man- Looks as good as I could have hoped, definitely preordering
Ness- Just awesome all around another "must buy"

Super Mario line
Mario- Solid, I think i'll bite on it just cause I have yet to get a smash mario
Luigi-Much better pose than the smash one, def picking him up.
Peach-The face is better than the smash one, on the fence
yoshi- Doesn't look different enough to justify the purchase
Bowser-not quite as bad ass as the smash amiibo but I think it still looks pretty amazing.maybe on sale
Toad-Super cute and definitely want one...maybe two

Final thoughts-

As far as Wave 4 is concerned, I think Ness and Pac-Man look fantastic, they're definite buys. Robin and Lucina don't look quite as good, but I love FE (and plan to get STEAM) so I'll grab them too. Charizard is a maybe, but I'll probably wait on him and Wario.
 
High quality pics of the Super Mario Line-up:
You know, after buying 50+ Disney Infinity figures, I appreciate that the Smash line has more interesting poses. I know that a lot of people dislike the supports, but outside of Link's being a weird color, they don't bother me at all. The SMB line looks fine but nothing we haven't seen in other memorabilia.
 
In case anyone missed it, I posted some high quality pics of the new Smash Amiibo on the previous page too. I'll spare you all the bandwidth and just link them :P Link
 
Try logging in, I saw it on SD and originally I could not even add to cart. Then I reloaded and logged in and scored 3 shipped. Yea yea but others reported the same: in store orders and shipped.

The site is weird but worth a shot, if you type fox amiibo you get nothing. Only way to get to it when I tried was search amiibo then arrow to more items and fox appears. :)
 
Link just went to in store only at gamestop. Now ONLY Zelda is available for shipping all other amiibo are in store only even Mario.
