I think I'm going to step away from this. Sorry guys.
The way NoA has handled Amiibos over here has been awful. I think because I got into collecting late, it was fun hunting down Wave 1 and 2. But having to actively be collecting BEFORE Wave's come out, is such a shit experience. Lack of info, changing/scattered release dates/pre-order release dates for future wave's being random as fuck and not communicated.
That's not even getting into Nintendo doing a shit job supplying these, and doing really shitty things like giving away Amiibos to scummy corporations in the NA for exclusivity. I am at a point where I no longer care. So this isn't me like, losing my shit. I'm actually laughing at this. I can't believe how absurdly bad this whole thing is being run.
But I would rather free up my time and money, and not waste my time on this if Nintendo is going to keep yanking us around. I have a gf that will soon be my fiance. I have my trip in Japan in Feb that I have to plan for. Just feels tiresome having to deal with all of this. Having to wait for 3 release dates in all of Feb? No thank you. It's such a joke. Other places can just walk into any store and get Wave 3's with no hassle. But not in NoA -- that would be too easy.I figured I would get all of this out of the way Feb 1st, then have some time to wait for Wave 4 in March/April (and I could pre-order those).
I think if you approach this casually (which you should) then, you just roll with the punches and it's fine. I actually have taken up a similar attitude to not care so much. So I'm not angry or upset. More so, just looking at how ridiculous this entire thing is. Even on a casual level, that it requires you to wait and wait and then keep up with the changing dates.

I'm just done. I'll still go to stores on Feb 1st and try to grab some Extra Rosalina. I will still ship out any Amiibos I've promised to everyone.
But in terms of actively collecting, I think this killed it for me. But it's okay, I have a lot going on (getting engaged soon!). So I'm super happy.

I mean this is the nicest way but I think you should too. I think you have quit this thread 3 times in the last few days. Yet you are still posting way more than anyone else. people appreciate you saying you are going to help them out for sure but it seems you are over burdening yourself. Just seeing this from a neutral point of view makes me think it is stressing you out and taking up way too much of your time. I read your leaving GAF post around xmas and empathize with your situation, I really do. However it seems like this forum while providing you a support structure is also consuming you. I do really hope you find peace and enjoy whatever makes you happy. Be that your GF/fiance, Amiibos, the forum, or whatever. You are of course always welcome but I feel like your stressing yourself out over something that is not that signigicant. Hope this comes across as my concern for you. sounds like you kicked cancers ass and have an awesome GF and you should revel in that and leave NOA and did their evil amiibo ways alone. Good luck with whatever you decide but I agree that you should maybe step away from the thread and stress. Hope all is wellI think I'm going to step away from this. Sorry guys.

I'm not trying to be rude, but didn't you already "step away" from the Amiibo hunt several times? I mean, I can't say I blame you. The situation has been handled extremely poorly, and there's been dead silence from NoA. I could tolerate the low supply around Christmas time, but there's no excuse now. You shouldn't let this stress you out. Once I get King Dedede and Wario, I'm done. I fear for my own sanity if they start releasing some more obscure Mario characters like Spike and Waluigi.I think I'm going to step away from this. Sorry guys.

Same. I've actually only bought two, so my approach is just checking the local stores whenever I'm there for something else. If I find them, cool. If not, whatever. There are other better figures to collect as well, so if I can't find amiibos, I'll blow my cash on figmas and nendos.
Wait what. U got wave 3's in America in store?
......I need it.
