Ugh I didnt even noticed we already are on the 23. I need to get out ASAP to buy the 3rd wave amiibos before they dissapear.

 

[RetroDLC]

What's that Mew figure?
Also OT3| Amewbo?

It's a Japanese figure I imported from Japan years ago. I'll shift it to the other shelf when I get the Charizard next month.

 

[Dash Kappei]

Preordered Charizard, Pac, Ness and Wario from GameStop.it
Don't care about Lucina or Robin (gimme Chrom, damn you Sakurai). Don't like the Mario series, unsure about Toad, so far I prefer the Mario, Yoshi and Bowser from the Brawl series, maybe Luigi looks better? but I'll take my chances and wait to see in store if I like him enough. I'm not even sure I'll keep Charizard, I didn't get Pikachu either after all.

 

[Son Of D]

Got a Pac-Man and Robin from Nintendo UK. Ness, Robin and Lucina are all sold out there now. Also haven't had luck finding an Ike in any nearby Argos stores. Going to check a few other places tomorrow.

They technically shouldnt be put yet lol.

 

[georly]

Joei bought on yesterday if im not mistaken I have everything preordered online at TRU and feel like stock will sell out before I get anything.

I tried ordering lucario online several times only for the site to deny me. So now i'm stuck trying to find an amiibo out in the wild, same with rosalina. Sucks so much.

 

[Linius]

I'd like a Mudkip amiibo. With a derp face.

 

[Zonic]

With that in mind, I'm curious how Smash Bros reacts to someone scanning Toad. He's the first non-Smash character Amiibo.

I'm guessing this.

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Edit: I believe this is fake but you know it'll come in either figure or card form, so be prepared and all that lol

 

[O.v.e.rlord]

Sweet Jesus! O.O

 

[Gartooth]

Don't play with my heart. :O

 

[Shadow Ranger]

You guys know Nintendo UK store is run by the same company as Zavvi? The Hut group? It's just Zavvi is worst cause they ship from the UK's channel island, so they pay cheaper taxes and such.

I'll be willing to source you some Amiibo from Nintendo UK store:
http://store.nintendo.co.uk/amiibo.list
And then send it off to the US for you, already did that for Niraj once =) Which ones do you need?

Yeah. I figured hey, if they can run Nintendo's store, then surely they've upped their game on their own store. Obviously not! I'm one for chances, what can I say.

 

[crimnos]

I thought I'd be able to resist most Pokemon amiibo, but dayumn.

 

[Fedora Royale]

So uh, for someone who knows next to nothing about Pokemon but wants to try a game... where do you all suggest I start? One of the new-ish 3DS releases?

My only game-related experience with the series was back on GBA with Pokemon Red. I think.

 

[Linius]

X/Y is a pretty good start point I think.

 

[zroid]

well that is clearly the best Lucario amiibo

 

[TheSlySoul]

No, don't joke about that. My wallet can only take so much.

 

[Zonic]

Welp, now I'm guessing the Pokemon amiibo from the SSB line-up are pretty much confirmed for Pokken, especially with Pikachu announced to be playable.

Edit: Oh it's fake?

 

[Fedora Royale]

X/Y is a pretty good start point I think.

Thanks, I'll add them to my list.

Your avatar suggests otherwise!
Haha, j/k, and yeah, recommend X/Y.

 

[Insaniac]

Good morning AmiiboGAF

Hope everyone is doing well!

Nah, you're right. I knew when I picked it out that it was Pokemon-related. It just so happened to match my username pretty well, so I went with it. ^_^

 

[Ultima_5]

I'd try the ORAS games before XY. I really didn't enjoy XY. Both are pretty new user friendly

 

[Jawmuncher]

I'm so glad that once the smash line is done.
It'll be pretty easy coasting for me aside from Fire Emlblem stuff or something.

 

[Fedora Royale]

I'll keep that in mind as well.

Good morning to you as well!

X/Y felt like a fresh start, bit of a reboot if you will. I liked ORAS better though. But for newcomers I think you can't go wrong with X/Y.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Why?
They probably already put them yesterday on places like Media Markt.
Are you talking about america? Europe gets them the 23 and it's 3pm here already.

 

[PadWarrior]

Curious if anyone with Bowser or Toon Link ordered on Amazon US have heard anything. I have had mine on order since December 8th and it still says this.

Says the same thing for all my wave 3 preorders. Wave 1 from Amazon transaction went perfectly. These last 2 so far aren't.

 

[Christopher]

Thank god I'm just doing the smash line that would get out of hand if I felt needed to collect them all

 

[Ludist210]

So I went into TRU last night on the way home from picking up my dog because why not...there were none of the new wave out earlier, but after I saw the posts here, I figured I'd check again. I saw a bunch of Bowser and a few Toon Links (no Sheik) and saw a scalper with five amiibo. All Lucario.

The manager rang it up, told them not to sell. The guy panics and is begging her to sell. I casually say he's going to scalp them and essentially rip off the store. The scalper leers at me, the manager asks the guy to leave. No Lucario sold.

Score 1 for the good guys. Well done.

Good, just want to make sure I get those two. Thanks for the replies!

 

[CH4OS]

Morning Gaffers! Did I miss anything good last night?
I won't be surprised if the MM N3DS XL went up somewhere last night at some ungodly hour, so lay it on me.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Got my Bowser, Sheik, Rosalina and Ike amiibos yesterday. They look awesome.
Also, Rosalina's amiibo is quite heavy. Just letting you guys know ;D

Ha, score one for the right thing to do.

Also not much is going on, some TRU stores already released some Wave 3 figures.
I really hope they update me on how Lucario/Ike order is going though...

Awesome! This sorta makes me worried though with the in store preorders. I really hope they set them aside.

 

[Interface23]

Still no Wave 4 orders in the US it seems...

I heard Bowser is pretty heavy (and big!) too. Really looking forward to receiving mine. Though I don't have any space to display them properly.

Same here, I've had mine ordered since November 12.

 

[georly]

I guess i'll call toys r us as soon as they open to see if they have lucario

 

[TheSlySoul]

I have orders from different places.

• No word from any Amazon US orders
• Best Buy said Bowser is November 1st, no word on Metaknight or King Dedede
• No word from TRU about Lucario or Ike

I am hoping to hear some more during next week.
TRU honored the backorder I place on Pit, so I think they will get my order back up.

 

[oxacillin]

When I went yesterday, their manager said if you have a preorder, don't worry if you don't see any on the shelf because they have preorders set aside. You need both your receipt and that preorder slip to get it.

 

[Blues1990]

Hey, guys.

Are there any Amiibo figurines from Wave 3 that you guys need? Once he comes in the mail, I'm willing to trade Mega Man for a Meta Knight Amiibo. (Or anyone, really.)

PM me if anyone is interested.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

I heard Bowser is pretty heavy (and big!) too. Really looking forward to receiving mine. Though I don't have any space to display them properly.

He's not particularly big, though. He's about the same height as Samus or Rosalina (might even be just a bit smaller than Rosalina actually).
He's got some mass, though, that's for sure.
He's "bigger" than the pedestal.

I'll make some photos after work if I find the time.

Oh, good to know! I have both of those ready to go. I'll keep them in my car so if I'm near the store when they officially release them, I won't have any problems.
