Not open for further replies.
I kinda' want a Bowser smash style amiibo. I don't own a Wii U or a 3DS, but I got to play a bit at a friend's place. I was happy to see that Bowser is not shit-tier again.

In the event that I ever get a Wii U or N3DS, I want to have him ready to go.

ive got two on preorder, will offer one here if i get them.
 
How goes it fellow night owl gaffers?
Just for done playing some smash and I completely dominated with Shulk. Just cements the fact that I need him the most.

I spent most of my night training the last few remaining amiibo's to level 50. Been playing a lot of Villager and Rosalina. One I already kind of have no chance of finding but Rosalina I still have a chance... I hope. :P
 
I canceled my amazon.us pre order for Shiek,Bowser,and Toon Link and ordered them from Amazon.fr who have them in stock. I guess I'm paranoid about Amazon.us screwing up my pre order and I'd just rather pay a little more and guarantee that I'll get them.

So, does this look a bit right? I apologize for my ruthless double checking, I accidentally had some "special" Valentines day gifts for my girlfriend shipped to the neighbours house instead of mine this past week so shipping suddenly has become this terrifying and potentially awkward thing, haha.

I just cancelled the same three but only because I think they will be pretty easy to find in stores (except Sheik.. maybe?).

How is the shipping on Amazon.fr?

I just love that tree attack! That is an attack where if it lands when playing with my friends, everyone it's like WHOA S$@&! Much like the commentators to professional smash when they see Falcon use his electric knee.

yes, that should be right. However, I copied and paste it in Japanese.

Seems so good so far. I find the cheapest shipping option doesn't have a good tracking website compared to the fast one.

My Lucario is gonna be here next week from then I believe.
 
I've been casually pre-ordering a small number from each wave as they come available... are we waiting for the next wave pre-orders to go live on amazon and other sites?
 
The wait for me to receive my King Dedede Amiibo in the mail is equal parts exciting and annoying. Especially since I have found out that several people have been getting that one early.

I'm sad for what happened to my Meta Knight Amiibo, but I'm not going to stress over like I did with the Pit Amiibo.

I just checked Yodobashi Camera (the electronics store I frequent) to see if I could preorder an extra amiibo or two for those who weren't able to preorder them, but apparently the store has enacted a one-per-customer limit. If only all retailers would do the same to prevent scalpers from charging an arm and a leg for these things.

Haha, yeah that tree usually has my friends saying "OMG WTF?!". What's even better is pocketing the tree as another Villager and throwing it back. :P

Put "TS000000" in the second address line.

It'd be a lot easier if you leave the page in Japanese and just copy and paste.

Here's how I have mine:

With tax, a regular amiibo costs $15.77 in Canada.

I bought 3 Amiibos together off Amazon.fr (Rosalina, Diddy and Ike) and with the way the shipping turned out, I paid $21.36 per amiibo.

Lastly, I impulse bought Shulk on Amazon.fr this morning. That seemed to be a smart move on my part, as they're completely sold out again. A single amiibo off Amazon.fr with shipping comes out to $26.80 Canadian. I'm pretty happy with this, as I set out from the beginning to never spend over $30 on an amiibo, and this one is crazy rare.

That being said, I currently own/have on pre order 11 amiibo, and the current total dollars spent is
$195.68
. Fucking hell. I'm so retiring from this hobby after they release all of the Smash Bros amiibos :P
 
I'm definitely starting to understand how being an amiibo fan can be draining. I realized today that I spend so much time thinking about/checking for wave 4 pre-orders that I'm not even that excited for actually getting my Wave 3 amiibos that I've already pre-ordered! Haven't thought about them in so long, and they'll be out in less than 2 weeks.

I'll be happy when the Smash line is done with and I can step away from the madness.

Yup.

On the eve (kind of) of Wave 3's release on Amazon UK, they re-opened preorders for some of those characters, after opening them up a few weeks back and being sold out.

Hoping that's the case each time. Hooray for the early (non-scalping) birds, but re-open for the latecomers.

Game UK had W4 preorders up, but I was too late and only got a Robin.

First world problems :)
 
It's so cute watching you all struggle like we in FigureGAF used to.

As someone said in the other thread, it's like this thread is our thread's baby.

Please don't take this as an insult, it's all in good fun.

FunkoGAF -> FigureGAF -> amiiboGAF -> FigureGAF

A beautiful cycle.
 
Hey guys,

Small question as I am pretty new to Amiibo collecting. Is Little Mac really this rare? Its sold out almost everywhere and the online prices are 40€+.

Found a few left at my local MediaMarkt so bought one. Should I also buy the rest and sell it to finance other figures?

Hey, no harm in selling a couple if it's funding 'em. For ~$14 a pop
or ~$11 with GCU
it helps to sell a few if you're in a pinch. First priority should be helping amiiboGAF of course. :)

As long as you don't buy a bajillion.

Yes. Little Mac is by far the rarest EU Amiibo.
40€ is actually a great deal, over here (Italy) they easily sell (actually sell, not just listed...) for €60.

Don't let people talk you out of scalping. There is nothing wrong with it. If you want, maybe sell one to a gaffer at cost if you feel nice, but seriously, don't feel bad.

People will try to guilt you, don't let them. It's a free market, and as long as you leave a few behind for others I don't see why you should feel guilty. Or don't and scalp them all. Again, nothing to feel bad about.

As long as he doesn't t grab 10 of them I see little harm in using it for trades.
1 Little Mac for two more "common" Amiibos. Buyer would be happy and he'd be happy.
Of course if he's grabbing a dozen to sell at scalper's price...

Is that really scalping? The figure IS pretty rare and soldout. I have a store with one or two left and I could buy it. Its not like I am sitting on a bunch of amiibos.

But sure I got no problem to sell it to GAF instead of ebay.
 
Haha, yeah that tree usually has my friends saying "OMG WTF?!". What's even better is pocketing the tree as another Villager and throwing it back. :P

so great. my brother and I do that in FFAs. Insta kills :D

sometimes we throw the tree back and forth and see who misses the catch :)
 
Another day, another lack of Wave 4 preorders. Stay strong guys. Off to bed.
 
So when will people in Canada be able to pick up wave 3 Amiibos in store. Missed out on Ike and King Dedede. Want the former for Codename Steam and the other due to my Kirby love. My BB preorder on Meta Knight says Jan. 30, is that just an estimation?
 
Kinda wish I preordered Toon Link instead of Sheik. The simple characters always look nicer, and I don't really care about Sheik in the first place lol.

Hopefully I can find a Toon Link without a pre-order.

Lol, dude... 8 man Villager tree catch! I did that this past weekend with some friends and omg, so much crazy fun. :P
Man, I really want a Villager amiibo. ;-;

Anyway, good night Amiibo-Gaf! I'll see you awesome people in the morning with some hopeful preorders open! :D

Were other figures really that hard to find? They have 4-5 times the shelf space..
 
If anyone needs to be added to our google document, PM me your Gmail. I'm looking into Trello now (someone suggested we use that instead of Google Docs as it also uses gmail accounts and is supposedly prettier and easier to use). To be honest, it's confusing as hell to me.

Anyone needs avatar requests (PM me, I can make transparent ones w/ the logo).

No one in Canada has a clue but I guess the Us dates will be similar.
 
Just seen that Gamestop UK have Rosalina up for pre order for £14.97 delivered, so taken a chance using Paypal as i've never used them before and heard mixed reviews

Going to send out your villager soon. Sorry for the delay. I barely just got in the second the other day (the first one I got, was for my display). Just wanted to make sure that, you didn't get a villager since then. I would rather it go to someone that doesn't have villager yet at all, and needs it to complete their collection.

I also have an extra Fox now, if anyone wants it.

Also an update, maybe I don't get Trello, but I'm not seeing why this is all that great. Might just stick to Google Document. I dunno. Then again, not even sure if people even find the Google Doc useful. Guess I'll wait and see how it goes once Wave 3 releases. Should be telling if it's a helpful resource or not.
 
Hoping Ike will get dispatched today...said it would in my order page. If not ShopTo aren't getting anymore amiibo money if they're gonna say I have an order and don't deliver.

thanks for saying the store name. They have an online store!
