First, you should really remove the "?tag=viglink20241-20" from the URL so everyone here doesn't give some random person a commission.

Here's a pretty cool amiibo storage ideas article.

Wait, really? I just grabbed the URL straight from Amazon. o.o I'll keep that in mind, sorry about that.

As for the Ikea case, I can't get anything too large at the moment due to my living situation, so I was more so hoping for something that could be considered a bit more portable. I'll check your link out though Diggeh, thanks for the guidance!

AmiiboGAF, will I ever get a Little Mac?

I already own a Samus and Captain Falcon (w/ a Megaman preordered) but all I really want is a Little Mac Amiibo. He's like my spirit animal or amiibo if that makes any sense. Honestly the only Amiibo I really want.

But now he's sold out everywhere.

And I refuse to give in to the scalpers.

Goddamn I should have preordered it when it first went on sale.

Believe in amiiboGAF. Someone in the B/S/T thread is bound to have one. If not, try asking around here. :)

On the one-hand, we can only hope that Nintendo of America will go and manufacture more of the harder-to-find figurines & will help restock stores later this year. My friend had to send them a complaint, through telephone & mail, and he hopes he can get someone in the right department to answer his question.

On the other-hand, just do your best and contact any of the retail stores in your area, and hope for the best. I`ll do my part and see if I can find a Little Mac Amiibo for you, but I can`t keep any promises, what with the figurines being even harder to find in the `Great White North`.

True, however I'm in Canada and we most likely won't be seeing her up here. I could always go to NY with my girlfriend when she goes to see family, but I'd probably need to be around the Target on the day of release.

I honestly think them being Japanese is a cool little thing so it doesn't really bother me.

Do you guys now how to get items to ship internationally from amazon.de? I tried getting the trinity the ship to my house in Michigan but its not working.
 
Ugh. I hate my Nowheresville Walmart.


Not only do they only have the most basic amiibos (I think the rarest one they have is a Konkey Dong), but the section is also a complete mess. Accessories are all over the floor and everything looks completely ignored. I doubt they'll be getting another shipment once those 8 or so are all gone.

Hopefully Tallahassee has got a Zelda or Samus for me when I head down there on Wednesday

Are you trying to order from Amazon or a third party marketplace seller? The latter usually won't ship internationally.
 
Gartooth said:
I'm pretty certain it is Amazon since I click to add to cart from the main listing.
Click to expand...

It's not. the way Amazon works is if they currently don't have stock they list the cheapest 3rd party option which is the case here with Marth and WFT.

Interestingly, Amazon.de has also started implementing a 1 per order limit on certain amiibos. Maybe a little too late, but might stop some scalpers.

Shit... well guess that's that. It was Marth and WFT that gave the errors as well.

Edit: lol autocorrect.

By the way, Amazon.de is probably the only place you're going to find a Villager at this point for $28 shipped. Might want to consider it if you want one bad enough before they are all gone.

I'd kill for a Villager Amiibo. Any non-JP version is $100+. Why aren't there any EU sellers selling them on EBay? :(
Click to expand...

I can get you one (EU) for the equivalent of US $34 (it's EUR25 for the figure+shipping to my house). But then I have no idea how much shipping costs from Italy to where you live?
Also they only have 2 in-stock at the moment, if you want it you better act fast. Or maybe wait for a better deal, dunno, just trying to help.

There you go, even better. But seriously, if you guys want them these are probably the last few days before price skyrockets.

I could find Little Mac for EUR25 over here less than a week ago, now it's 100€.
Of course hunting around I could be lucky and finding it cheaper but only off my country.

Yeah, I could almost bite the bullet on $30 for Marth and Wii Fit Trainer, but Villager going for $55 or more is just stupid. Anyways, I give up on them since I'm not going to play that game and feed the damn scalpers. Either B&H pulls through or I'm waiting for a Marth restock and saying bye to the other two.

Also, thanks guys for helping me out. I had no idea how to do anything on a foreign site. lol

I know that feel.

I feel like I'm just wasting my time refreshing the Amazon/Bestbuy/EBGames pages and that preorders won't even be up this week. :(

I dunno, I never received a reply to my pm for the previous contest (who won? congrats btw) so I still have no idea if you accept non-us entries... and yes, I've already donated to the arthritis foundation :)

edit: sorry man, it wasn't you who held the previous contest -_-

Click to expand...

I jumped on too late to make any Wave 3 preorders so I'm probably never going to see Shulk, Meta Knight and DeDeDe, let alone Mega Man, the one I want more than any other, but I'm definitely going to be preordering all the Wave 4s that I want. No way am I missing out on Pac-Man, Robin and Ness.

I'm hoping they make lots of Toon Links since the Zelda series amiibos seem to be in good supply.
 
From now on I'm going to say on my Club Nintendo surveys that I want rare Amiibos available for rewards. lol
I won't, having to choose only one would destroy me.
 
IMO I don't think any Amiibos should be rare. It would be one thing if they were just figures, but they have game functionality and are advertised as such. What was supposed to be a fun way to deepen an experience with your favorite character has instead become scalper heaven. I can't even look at eBay anymore.

Really sad Nintendo won't address this by increasing production.
