Got to be honest with you bros, I fucking love Amiibo. <3

Then you're in the right place amiibro! Welcome!

 

[SalvaPot]

Right now I have people over for a Tournament and all my amiibos are lined around the TV, it looks pretty sweet.

Yep, there you are, and holy moly all those posts by #1

...time to train. *training montage begins*

I've got quite a ways to go. Maybe I should make more amiibo lights avatars!

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Has there been any murmurs about a future update to let your Amiibos go online, or an online mode just for Amiibo fights? Would be entirely awesome.

I hope they get more functionality in smash. They should be able to at least be coop partners in any mode that supports it

I want salty bet but with amiibos man! Bet coins and stuff. Oh man so much fun to be had!

There was one, it was called "Amiibo World Championship" it was on Twitch, and you'd earn coins just from watching or could bet.

One day is just vanished and didn't come back. Anyone know what happened to it?

 

[ThisBeJason]

Dang it Now I really really really want a Golden Sun Amiibo line (

Spoiler

as well as Golden sun character in smash

)... why must I do this to myself!

You could always use a smash Amiibo and custom it to make someone from Golden sun

 

[Curler]

Wow someone made a fanfic... 0_o

Well, hope to check my TRU, because I forgot that my coupons expire soon. Want to be able to use them up before the shipments take a while to replenish. Being Sunday though, I'm not expecting to find anything. Even if I get a Bowser I'll be happy.

Shulk, Pit, and Marth would pribably be the easiest ones for that.

 

[Toki767]

With the release of Wave 3 coming soon I guess I should go buy Peach.

Can't believe I missed that :/

 

[Lee Chaolan]

It was really cool, everything was automated, the characters had funny names.

Link was named "NotZelda" and Zelda was "NotLink" cute stuff like that.

Also, Wii Fit Trainer, Zelda and Villagers won far more than the others, and that's at level 50.

 

[Frogstep]

Definitely agree! These have been so much fun to collect and I'm fortunate to be around a group that feels the same way. I love hearing all the hunting stories and finds that go on in this thread!

If it weren't for the generosity in this thread I would have never come across some of the ones I was unlucky to find, like WFT and Fox (thanks ThisBeJason and esmith08734 ).

I agree. Now that I think about it, I want to pit myself against 7 lvl 50 Amiibo and see if I could survive.

I also have coupons that expire soon, I hope I get to use it on Lucario or something with the 4 for $44 deal.

Shulk, Pit, and Marth would pribably be the easiest ones for that.

I'd really like to see someone use an Amiibo to make a non Smash character. Or at least a Smash character not in this game (like how someone made Lucas)

With the release of Wave 3 coming soon I guess I should go buy Peach.

Um, you're kidding right?
Anyways, I don't know why people hate on Peach so much. I used her since the original Mario Kart days and absolutely pwned anyone I've ever played in MK64 with her. When she was in Melee I would choose her to show I could keep up with my opponents best characters. I see why she's so sought after by Mario and Bowser. Wouldn't mind getting under that umbrella if you know what I mean HAHAHA

Try 2 or 3 first Ive met very few ppl who ca handle 2 lef alone 3

 

[Andodalf]

Part of me wonders if Nintendo will make a line based on Pokken Tournament and do what they did with SSB and make one for each playable character. We already got Pikachu & Lucario, so those two could work on Pokken.

But amiibo can only hold data for one game, right? so that'd be an issue.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I know someone who works at Best Buy & trying to get one for me & some friends. If I see him this week, I'll ask him if he knows anything about his release date.

Crap, meant to edit my previous post.

Meta Knight doesnt even show up in the sku yet

Oh yeah I forgot to mention, the shipping situation was worked out, I just had to pay a little extra to the post office. I need to find my shipping scale so I can accurately measure the weight at home.... I still need to inform the others but hopefully most of them read it here too. Enjoy!

 

[Horohoro]

Not with 2 of each

Spoiler

Nintendos plan all along.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

Amiibo that store data can only store data for a single game that uses that function at a time, yes. Nothing to stop them including hte option to overwrite it with new pokken data though ( As, I believe, is nintendos plan)

Ha, thanks. I've been posting in here quite a while, but just felt like stating the obvious.

aaand that's what I'm afraid of.

Not necessarily saying I'm going to fight them all, just try to survive. Run like bat $h!? crazy.

Think that was mentioned as well, which is why he's not too sure on the exact date.

 

[Horohoro]

Its pretty much already here with the FE characters and STEAM and Mario Party.

It was real and I missed it!!!! *Sigh* oh well. It would be nice to have it as a game feature as well

Must have missed your posts. My bad. So aaaaaaaaa welcome back? Lol

 

[ThisBeJason]

Thanks to all these scattered dates I'm going to have to use up vacation time and look like an idiot going to all these retailers every freakin day. I just feel bad calling and asking for stock checks because im sure they get a ton on the daily.

 

[Zonic]

Is it still possible to pre-order any of the Wave 3 amiibo (aside from Shulk) at GS in-store? I might pre-order Ike to be safe & then I can get a call when he's available, which should hopefully be part of the shipment that'll include any Shulks.

Pretty sure the answer to that is no for all of wave 3. Wave 3 preorders are pretty much sold out at all retailers, both in store and online.

 

[Zonic]

Dang it. Well, I'll still head in tomorrow before class & see if I can get any info about the dates and if they can call me.

Part of me wonders if I should've pre-ordered Mega Man instead of Sonic or did both to be safe. Maybe I'll get lucky & find MM when I pick up Sonic.

I preordered them all (besides some of the exclusives) and plan to go for them in store. If I get them in store before the preorders come in, good. I will only cancel my preorders if this happens. After Wave 2 preorders getting cancelled it's hard to trust anything until I get them all in my hands.

 

[Hubbl3]

Yeah, that's what I've been doing. I have a full set of all that have been released so far plus preorders for all of wave 3 and I haven't paid anything other than retail price for them.

Yeah i do the same but just running amuck and looking in stores is luck not stratagy. Lol

 

[Zonic]

If I had the funds, I would've pre-ordered more of them since I tend to prefer to pay in full so I have a better idea of how much I'll have left over and not have to worry about "Oh crap, I need to pay the rest of my game off".

 

[kitchenmotors]

Same, I don't want to hassle them because I'm sure there are people constantly calling about stock. Luckily my work is right next to every major retailer, so I can go before, on lunch or after work.

 

[Hero]

All you guys complaining about the default poses from Smash U/3DS being the amiibos are going to be upset when they do series 2 of Smash and do all the alternate trophies of the characters.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Dang it Now I really really really want a Golden Sun Amiibo line (

I would throw my money at that. <3 Golden Sun.

I just want a new Golden Sun

Oh man, I would love a Suicune figure.

Ah you know, if you reeaaaaalllly want a Suicune figure and don't care if it's an Amiibo or not, there are quite a few lines of Pokemon figures out there!

I like the Tomy Monster Collection line and the zukan line myself. The Tomy MC figures all tend to be around the same size with some larger sized ones made occasionally while the zukan line features Pokemon scaled to 1/40 scale, with some larger ones to 1/50 scale or even more in order to fit in the capsule. Here's a not-so-updated list of Suicune figures available.

Seriously there is so much Pokemon merch out there already I'm always sort of confused when people say that Nintendo would bleed out their wallets by releasing a line of Pokemon figures because there's already a ton of Pokemon figure lines out there, some of which have like most of the Pokemon represented already XD

More on-topic, do we know when preorders when Wave 4 will start in the US? Or have they started already and I've just missed out on grabbing Ness and Robin

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Yep, there's no doubt those level 50's are way tougher than level 9 CPUs. Hope they keep adding updates!

 

[Thoraxes]

I'll be at Target all weekend at opening to try and snag a double of each as backup.

Then when/if Gamestop comes through i'll give em to my buddy and out here.

Would a cute Raichu phone strap do instead?

I kind of wonder if Pokemon will be the testing franchise for Amiibo cards. It'd be a good fit and they could be absolutely cruel by putting them into blind packs to force a TCG-like thing all over again.

I love mine, they look so much nicer on this display. This one should probably be added to the OP, since people keep asking about it

Thanks, appreciate the link! On a side not struck out at TRU today, they didnt even have hanging hooks for sheik, toon link, or bowser (I'm in NJ)

Awesome! Will snap a shot when she arrive so that you know she made it safe.

US or where? Still tons of her everywhere I notice. Although I think I like her new Amiibo design better.
