Support NeoGAF

[Joei]

Imagine all your amiibo collection in a Glass Case, and this Mario amiibo just outside, pointing at it like saying "This is it, be amazed!"

Damn, now I kinda want this mario too.

I'm really interested in the Mario series line as well. Do not like the SSBU Luigi pose and not too big on the Mario pose either, but I like SM poses a lot. Bowser, however, looks much better with the SSBU pose, but I'll want them all to have the same pedestal and be from the same series when I get them.

My problem is the lack of detail in the Super Mario line. From what I can see, Mario & Luigi lack any texture on their overalls.

I think that's what thy were going for. Typically the Smash Bros series has added that level of detail to the characters you don't find anywhere else. Brawl was a good example of this

As opposed to games like Mario Party, Mario Kart and others which use a very basics an plain- more traditional -look for Mario.

It wouldn't surprise me if the Amiibos are also following this same level do design.

 

[melman101]

Where are the wave 4 pre-orders in NA!? I just want to sit back and wait for them to be shipped rather then driving all around. It was fun, but now we got a blizzard coming, etc. This winter has been awful.

I got 4 orders going for Wave 3. Still waiting on any of them to ship.

Mostly, 1 character of each, with the exception of Sonic, Megaman, Sheik, and Ike. I got a Gamestop order (Shulk included here) and a TRU order (Lucario included here) for them.

Yeah it's definitely an artstyle choice.

 

[H1PSTER]

So after my Villager got stolen and Little Mac got cancelled this arrived in the mail Today.

I ordered him and Sheik, but this is what I received.

 

[BodiesWithoutOrgans]

I'd love a Toadette Amiibo =)

 

[Chopper]

Wario and Charizard are back up for preorder on the Nintendo UK store. Lucina, Robin, Ness and Pacman are still MIA.

Very annoying.

Sheik transformed :O

 

[Koppai]

Ugh where are the wave 4 orders? I wonder if I should even bother with Best Buy.

 

[kitchenmotors]

I plan to hit up my Target early before opening just incase. Will pick up an extra or two if I can if anyone needs a Roslina and isn't able to get their hands on one.

 

[twelvetenzerosix]

Got my first Amiibo today.
Pikachu and Toon Link
Only gonna pick up the ones I really like.
Next up Kirby, Villager and Toad.

 

[Spades]

Only gonna pick up the ones I really like.

Yep, that's how it starts.

 

[Danthrax]

Oh yeah? Shit... I have Toon Link preordered at GS... guess they didnt get them yet.

Yeah, TRU released those three Wave 3 figures weeks before any other retailer in NA. Is don't think GS will get Toon Link until like Feb. 13.

 

[powerdrain]

I just love how NoA just screwed us over with this pathetic stock. NoE got things right... >.>

Now you say that...but I still can't find Rosalina.

Wave 3 went up on Toys-R-Us UK today be she's gone already.

 

[TheOmegaSpartan]

Chrom is up for preorder for those that were interested:
http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-009971&page=top
3,580 JPY here.
http://biginjap.com/en/pvc-figures/11467-fire-emblem-awakening-chara-form-chrom.html
3,420 JPY here.

Thanks for the link. Ordered from AmiAmi since I've ordered from them quite often and their packaging always is great.

Any time I can get my hands on a Fire Emblem related figure (especially Awakening) I'm on board.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

So I was reading Mario Party 10 playable characters here http://mariopartylegacy.com/marioparty10/characters

Playable Characters
 
Mario
Luigi
Princess Peach
Yoshi
Wario
Donkey Kong
Princess Daisy
Waluigi
Toad
Toadette
Princess Rosalina
Bowser (Bowser Party mode)

Wait wait wait wait wait... Toadette is playable in Mario Party 10?

The Toadette Amiibo dream is not dead.

More importantly, Waluigi amiibo.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Chrom pics and links.

Doing work in here as usual I see

 

[RiggyRob]

Where's the best place to preorder Robin and Pac-Man in the UK?

 

[Chopper]

Where's the best place to preorder Robin and Pac-Man in the UK?

Nowhere yet, I don't think. They've been up on the Nintendo UK Store, but have since sold out. Charizard and Wario are now back, so it's worth keeping an eye out there.

 

[CanUKlehead]

Where's the best place to preorder Robin and Pac-Man in the UK?

Onlinewise Game had them up a few weeks back, then ShopTo and Nintendo UK had them last week.

Keep an eye on them in case they come back again, and there's always waiting for Amazon to eventually show their hand.

 

[DeathByBacklog]

Yeah me too. I got a few in mind I suggested awhile back we make them a buddy list as in a person to pair with each one so don't have one person buying like 8 and to help spread out the cost.

Like me
DeathbyBacklog - greenwolfe7

The "buddy system" is a great idea. If people want to pm me (this thread goes crazy some times so I'm liable to miss something) and let me know who they're looking for, I'll add them to the list. And when someone gets one (for themselves, or someone on the list) pm me as well and I'll adjust the list accordingly.

 

[Notorious_Roy]

Finally had the time to pick up my Rosalina. It was the only Rosalina my local gamestore recieved. I was just in time with my pre-order. All other wave 3 Amiibo were sold out as well, they only have Mario, Yoshi and Peach in stock.

Even in The Netherlands the Amiibo hype is rising.

The key chain is for my car key, bought on impulse when I saw it at the check out desk.

 

[Fox Mulder]

I'd love a Toadette Amiibo =)

I'd jump on a captain toad, I dont want generic toad.

 

[superNESjoe]

I'll trade you a new Mac for one.

 

[Kaibutsu]

I would love one if you are able to get a hold of some extras that would rock

Yeah, I've tried checking Amazon and Nintendo UK Store for Pac-Man but he doesn't seem to be there, and Robin was sold out when I looked. Guess I'll try ShopTo (staying away from GAME just on principle).

 

[TheSlySoul]

I am planning to try to hit up Target on the 1st to see if they get any. I will get as many as I can and sell them to you guys at MSRP just to spite the scalpers.

 

[H1PSTER]

I'll trade you a new Mac for one.

I've replied to your PM mate.

 

[SuperCambot]

Woke up at 5 AM and
I drove to Target
Stood outside the door for hours on end
It was a day I'd never forget

Rosalina and Luma
Won't you look down over me
Yeah, I'm first in line to get her
But I'm as blue as a boy can be

Because of scalping in Memphis
Overweight men taking all our amiibos to sell on eBay
Scalping in Memphis
I'm sure they'll get their just desserts someday

I've been waiting for Marc Cohn to get parodied on NeoGaf.

No wait, I wasn't But I'm glad he was.

 

[Jailer of Hope]

Found this on reddit. Hopefully this is a sign that Rosalina will be common (28 in stock)

Doesn't that technically say how much stock the distribution center has? Don't they divvy up that stock to multiple stores in the region?

 

[TheSlySoul]

That is what I was thinking. I think that is saying 28 for the whole district, but I may be wrong.

Dear silly fans,
You do not want Waluigi, Daisy, Birdo, Dry Bones, Shy Guy, or Nabbit. You want Spike. Spike amiibo will please you.

Please understand.

-xoxo NoA

Wouldn't it be NoJ's fault for that decision though? I will be sad if Shy Guy does not come back from 9 or Dry Bones from 8 (I think...)

[Danthrax]

So here's an updated North American list of when each Wave 3 figure is released at each retailer (bold = first available date for figure). If I've missed something or I have something wrong, let me know.

Jan. 22
=======
Bowser — Toys R Us
Toon Link — Toys R Us
Sheik — Toys R Us

Jan. 30
=======
Lucario — Toys R Us

Feb. 1
======
Bowser — Target, Best Buy
Toon Link — Target, Best Buy
Sheik — Target, Best Buy
Rosalina & Luma — Target
Meta Knight — Best Buy (maybe?)

Feb. 6
======
Bowser — Walmart, GameStop
Toon Link — Walmart
Sheik — Walmart

Feb. 13
=======
Toon Link — GameStop
Sheik — GameStop
King Dedede — Toys R Us, GameStop
Ike — Toys R Us, GameStop
Sonic — Toys R Us, Walmart
Shulk — GameStop
Mega Man — Toys R Us

Feb. 20
=======
King Dedede — Walmart
Ike — Walmart
Sonic — GameStop
Mega Man — Walmart, GameStop

Unknown
=======
King Dedede — Target, Best Buy
Ike — Target, Best Buy
Sonic — Target, Best Buy
Mega Man — Target, Best Buy

I'd jump on a captain toad, I dont want generic toad.

My girlfriend and I will take a Toad any way we can get him, but we'd prefer a Captain Toad. The chances of one of him coming out are 0 percent, though, I imagine.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Thanks for the dates, I think Amazon is Feb 29th for their inventory.
I can see Dedede and Ike being the 20th. Best Buy generally doesn't update info until it is known. I am worried though if Metaknight is really the 1st and Best Buy didn't say anything about my order.

 

[Jailer of Hope]

Jailer of Hope indeed.

Lol sorry. I showed my cousin that works at Target that pic and that's how he explained it to me. He doesn't actually work with receiving and floor stock and he never explicitly stated that he works with a device like that but I took his words of caution.

Ike, Sanic, and Megaman are Feb 13 with DeDeDe for TRU. I thought this pic was a lit clearer when I took it but I assure you it says 2/13.

So Meta-Knight and Shulk are probably going to be pre-order only then.
At least we got news Lucario and Roselina should have decent stock. Still going to keep my import order then just in case.

Edit: Read that most stores are only getting 4 Shiek. That is pretty sad.

I followed the link about Rosalina.

To many who I’m sure are going to ask, the system is showing on order to DC, versus on order to store, but I wouldn’t read much into that. Easily could the data be put into the wrong column or just be a problem with their server.

Well let's hope that pda pic had it wrong.

 

[prateeko]

I plan to hit up my Target early before opening just incase. Will pick up an extra or two if I can if anyone needs a Roslina and isn't able to get their hands on one.

I imagine it'll be busier this Sunday because of people picking stuff up last minute for the Super Bowl. Do they still open at regular time?

 

[Zonic]

Why would they make Meta Knight so limited when there's another game that supports him coming out next month? The ones that use more games should be the ones that get more made.

 

[Ludist210]

Because NoA logic.
It is probably the same reason we are going to get not much Ike despite him working for Codename: S.T.E.A.M.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Because Nintendo.

he's a retailer exclusive, which cuts the numbers drastically. Best buy has also had a shitty amiibo section since day one.

I was lined up outside best buy at open for their exclusive guardians of the galaxy steelbook, one of the biggest movies of the year, and it sold out in minutes.

 

[dinazimmerman]

What stores sell the Mario Party 10 + Mario amiibo bundle?

 

[TheSlySoul]

What stores sell the Mario Party 10 + Mario amiibo bundle?

Amazon has it listed, but not ready yet I think. Newegg has it I think.
I hope Best Buy offers it. I need that 20% discount.

Edit: Amazon downgraded the Amiibo store page. Now it doesn't list all models when you click one.

New week -> waiting intensifies.
