Got wave 3 added to my collection now. So happy that it's fairly easy to pre order everything here at ebgames in Australia :)

Sooo addicted to collecting these things... ...I try very hard not to think about how much I've spent so far.
 
So two days ago I was at mediamarkt in Germany and saw two Rosalina amiibos. I really didn't want to buy one, as I already knew, that I get addicted to that...So I wandered through the 3DS section when a man with his wife/girlfriend appeared and took both Rosalina figures. They looked at all the amiibos for at least half an hour to find some other ones I guess, they were still there when I left the store.

So yesterday I walked into another store and saw a Little Mac amiibo for 13€...so I bought that one and some others. I hate myself for spending that money but I can't help it.

I've never noticed or paid any attention to the Disney amiibos, but anyone else want to crossover with me for this just one Elsa on Sunday at Target? I reckon she would stand absolutely fierce with my Rosalina & Luma figurine.

As much as I dislike EB Games, they're probably the best place to get Amiibo in Australia and New Zealand. They don't sell out online within minutes. The shipping is pretty reasonable and you can pick up in-store for free. No fighting crowds. Reasonable stock levels. I can't imagine the headaches people in the States are going through.

Shulk did.

;_;

(All the others though have been up for a reasonable amount of time, except for Ike.)

I don't recall Shulk selling out within minutes? I thought I saw him online for a day or two when I was on the fence about him. Shulk and Ike were certainly the fastest to sell out though, and Lucina (and now Robin) in wave four. I'm guessing the Codename STEAM functionality pushed them ahead of Ness.

Ah I meant today, rather than the pre-orders - he was back in stock temporarily but then sold out within five minutes on the EB Games online store. I really ought to have pre-ordered him from EB Games to begin with rather than Mighty Ape...oh well, live and learn!

Oh yeah. It's still pre-order or roll the dice. It's just that pre-ordering to guarantee yourself a whole wave at EB is pretty easy and reliable.

I actually want to pick that up on Sunday with my Rosalina
 
I think one thing I like about the Mega Man Amiibo so much is how simple he is (in a good way). Sleek, awesome colour, no stand needed! He just stands on his own awesomeness.

Thats another thing I just realised looking at my wave 3, all the stands are the clear plastic stuff and they're a lot less noticeable than the random coloured ones from some of the before figures.

I'm glad Nintendo got that message, what were they thinking?! Clear plastic stands exist, you know this because you even used it on some of the others, don't experiment with the other stuff!

Shulk, Mega Man and Bowser are probably my favs from wave 3. <3

Definitely. I've always preordered in-store and haven't had any issues.

When I hear that the U.S. have retailer exclusives and all those preorder sell outs it makes me realise how good we have it at the moment.

Awesome !
this will be me on Feb 20th when wave 3B comes out in the EU.

Mario and Wave 4 Amiibos are not pre-orderable yet :(
 
Still waiting for bloody Amazon uk to list wave 4 preorders! Grrr! My refresh button can't handle it.

are you sure you didn't miss it?

wave 4 has been available on german amazon for a long time but since the world caught wind of it being an easy and reliable way of getting those without fighting people in-store, Shulk, King Dedede and Meta Knight have been in a perpetual sold out state.

That would be Wave 3. Wave 4 is still missing from everywhere except Shopto and the Nintendo UK store.
 
So Rosalina is supposed to release Sunday at Target? Looks like I'll be heading there in the morning then.

I wonder how many stores will get. Looked in my PDA and it shows my store hasn't received any yet, there's no location set on the floor, and the DC has 23.

There's trucks Friday and Saturday, so it may come in then. I really doubt the huge numbers some people are saying, at least at this store.

They're begging to breathe!!! Haven't you seen Toy Story? :P
 
How is Megaman? Does he have shiny paint for his metallic areas or doe he have a matte finish all over?
I prefer matte.
 
Might be old news at this point but the "Find in Store" button is active on Target's website for Toon Link, Bowser, Sheik and Rosalina.
 
So is wave 3 supposed to be out this Sunday or only Rosalina at Target? It feels impossible to keep up with all of this sometimes.
 
Mario party amiibos up for pre-order on futureshop.ca for any Canadians interested, the sites are still 404 but if you use the compare tool you can still pre-order!
