Where are you located? Please let us know. It's a matter of life or death (for Amiibo hunting success)
 
Shulk looks really good compared to the other detailed humanoids like the Fire Emblem line. So tempted to import or eBay one. I don't suppose anyone in ANZ wants to trade for a Rosalina?

PSA: Nippon Yasan are selling out of amiibo fast. Shulk, MK and Mega Man bit the dust.

I know there are a lot of handheld Kingdom Hearts games for Nintendo, but the WiiU isn't getting Kingdom Hearts 3, correct?

I'd love it if Wii U got DDD HD with Amiibo support. Aren't Kingdom Hearts figures really popular? Most of the Western gaming stores stock them and they usually only focus on the biggest franchises.

Yeah, I was about to buy Meta Knight from them today but they were already sold out. It seems like all the online shops in Japan are sold out so there isn't even a way to import him anymore.
 
Oh god, I can see it now. Comic-Con exclusive R.O.B amiibo with Famicom colors, but with American packaging.

In all seriousness, this is an interesting situation. I don't know if Nintendo wants to deal with making 2 different colored versions of a character they'd probably consider obscure.
 
Was considering importing Metaknight while I was at work since he's the one I kind of have 0 chance of finding here, and of course once I get home he's already unavailable. T-T
 
Finally got in to pay off my Wave 3 preorders at GS (new Visa billing statement woohoo!) and my TRU ebay Lucario shipped today so I'm feeling good!
 
Have to head out guys, but let me know which one you like most:

Option 1

Option 2

Just figured, I should use an avatar for a character I actually like. Sheik is my current favorite Smash character to play (getting super good at her). So would rather have that then Palutena (who i don't really like. I mean I like her character a lot, but eh).
 
I'm glad I imported Jap. Meta-Knight (besides the rumors about his various mask defects I hope don't come to haunt me) because I don't trust Best Buy to put next to any in store. Nope Nope Nope.
 
Really funny nintendo ;_;

Well...it especially calls out DeDeDe so maybe that means he'll be common? Maaaaybe?

Also lol at Mario Party amiibos being common. People want figures that normally wouldn't get made not Mario. And thats Mario AGAIN since they already did Mario. The new Mario line looks so cheap too can't believe they aren't cheaper lol.

guess I can get used to only seeing more Mario & Peach figures soon. ._.

Edit: Forgot to mention lol at Toad being the "rarest" since he'll be the most sought after since its his first amiibo. NOA is so out've touch with Amiibos Iswea.
 
Just bought some more figmas...uh oh.

I like option 1. You see more of her :D
 
Damn can any Canadian Amiibros and Amiigals hook us up in the US with DDD, Sonic, and MegaMan? Lucky. Are they rare for you?

Sonic and DDD popped up on Walmart.ca for a bit on the weekend. (might have been Megaman, Toon Link was one also). But otherwise they've been long since sold out at every retailer. Megaman and Sonic are both held back though. I think I got a release date of Feb 28th for them.

I got two Meta Knights from Japan and there were no defects outside of the silver paint isn't the best. But he looks amazing. And yeah I'm so glad im not having to deal with BB. Honestly, after TRU and Lucario it's prob for the best that you just import exclusives now while you can. Especially if you don't even have a pre order.
 
not sure anyone cares but amazon.de has DDD up for preorder.

it's the first time I've seen the preorder button available for him
 
Meh. Just bought a Japanese Meta Knight from an eBay seller who I'm guessing bought a bunch. But for $28 with free shipping in the US so that I'm guaranteed to get him within a week, I guess I can't complain.

I just hope the figure looks good.
 
Nice I found one last Toon Link at the best buy right next to work. Seems like every single BB in SoCal is sold out.

Also it appears my TL from Hastings is shipping. Maybe this means the Sheik will somehow ship too!
 
Target just sent me a Sheik I don't even remember ordering.

AHHH, Amibos are taking over my LIFE!! HELP!!!

I've been ordering so much stuff over the past 5 months I forget about so any pre-orders. I JUST started listing them down on a notepad document, but even then I still feel like my list is half empty. It's like Christmas when I get a email saying some item I don't remember ordering shipped though.
 
I asked this in the amiibo trading thread but that place is dead so...

What's the average cost of shipping an amiibo in the US?
 
I actually did get Toon Link and Bowser from Best Buy today!

Lucario shipped and my Shulk is paid off. The rest are preordered at Best Buy and i'm feeling pretty confident with them going forward.

My tax refund comes this week and I might do something very bad to get a Rosalina.

Also waiting until I get all Wave 3 to open them. It's just more fun that way!
 
Went out for some shopping, didn't have any amiibos a few days ago and now I don't think I can stop. I want more!
My small collection right now, the pic is bad but the Villager turned out hilarious

My self-imposed rule for now is that I'll just get my favourite characters, that means Shulk, Charizard and possibly Robin are next.
And I guess I should get a Mario and Link amiibo aswell at some point.

I just have Toon Link, King DeDeDe and Meta Knight at Best Buy, and the 1st of the 3 came broken (Toon Link). Not too happy about that :-(. Gotta trek to Best Buy tomorrow and see what they say :-(

Once you start it's hard to stop, currently I don't even own a Nintendo console.
 
Seeing as Namco's been the only company so far to make use of amiibo, I look forward to them making use of the Pac-Man amiibo like they did in Ace Combat.

.............*Pac-Man & The Ghostly Adventure 3 announced, uses Pac-Man amiibo for whatever reason, maybe "retro" outfit/costume*
