lol

I take it all back. Frozen is genius, clever, progressive, revolutionary. Mario should be ashamed.

Everyone should throw out their Amiibo collection now, and only collect Elsa figurines. What's wrong with you people!

Are you in the U.S.?

If so, TRU never got Ike or Dedede yet. Ike and Dedede got pushed to mid or late Feb with no concrete date yet. And most stores only got Bowser, Toon Link and Sheik -- period.

I would go grab Toon Link and Sheik now if they really have them. As Sheik is pretty much non-existent stock wise. And Toon Link is quickly becoming non-existent too. Butt those 3 are all that Wave 3 has been in NA so far. Nothing else has come out (except Rosie and Lucario, but those were exclusives).

I'm in Canada but I just read something that backs up what you are saying about Ike and DeDeDe.... I feel better now.

Though apparently they did have some Rosalina but I missed out on her. That's twice in 12 hours, guess m just not meant to get her.

I didn't get Toon Link and Shiek because I already have then :)
 
Nice! @ 35 looks like 2-3 more waves then...

When are we getting that Mewtwo DLC?
"Spring". Considering we've got 13 more (since Miis won't get one most likely unless they're generic), maybe Wave 5 will come out in June-ish, which could be around or after Mewtwo is released.
 
How would they handle Mewtwo? I fear people would buy him thinking "OH SWEET, new figure AND it unlocks a new character!" but then get mad learning he doesn't work unless you download him via code or however he'll be distributed after the CN codes.

Best case scenario
for my wallet
is two more waves of 7 including Mewtwo. If they won't do Mewtwo than another wave of 6 and one of 7.

a final, 13-14 amiibo wave would be hell x_x

Simple: Make it unlock the character as well.

What if the only way to get him at first is through an amiibo that Nintendo sends you instead of a code.

Codes for reward first, then amiibo months later to fight AGAINST, but to play AS him you have to pay money for the character DLC. Even more months later.
 
I expect Reggie will simply fire Mewtwos out of an air cannon from the roof of NOA Redmond while laughing maniacally.
 
Didn't realize lucario is one of the annoying ones

Not as expensive as the others but still

Yeah, his supply was abysmal in NA. It was pretty much pre-order only stock wise. They had barely any extras beyond that. Sucks.

You would think since he's a Pokemon, they would have pushed more supply like Rosie (since she was a Mario character).

Nintendo would have to clearly state on the box "Character sold separately" or something.
 
CANADA AMIIBO UPDATE - FUTURE SHOP

My local Future Shop will have all of Wave 3 tomorrow including Meta Knight.

They did not know how many would be up for grabs for non-preorders as my store did preorders.

Will be trying to grab Mega Man and Meta Knight tomorrow. I have an online order for Meta Knight with Future Shop as a back up and an in store preorder for Mega Man at EB Games who haven't received Sonic and Mega Man yet.
 
If you're taking requests I would love a Marth, Lucina or Yoshi one

Sure, I love making Avatars. Do it for one. Do you have like, any pics in mind? You can PM them if you have any specific.

If you don't, I can find you pics. But then, do you want them which game? Smash Wii U? (IMO they look amazing here, so that's where I get a lot of them from). Or their own series? Just let me know.
 
Got Lucario in today. Or should I say Lucarios. Totally forgot about the second one and swore they cancelled it.

Again, if anyone in south west Ohio is interested at what I paid for it- PM me.
I don't have PayPal or anything to ship it, or I would- I swear! :-\

They reinstated the cancelled orders. Now I'll be stuck with an extra but I'm sure I can easily trade it for something else.

That's awesome! Are there any others you still need? I only remember you wishing you could get a better DeDeDe. My Meta Knight order from Best Buy is in limbo and it doesn't look like it will be fulfilled.
 
I walked into Target at random today and found this:

I don't even like the character. I just bought her because I assume she was rare. Damn you Nintendo.

Now the question is, do I open the box or do I try to gain something from this chance of luck?
 
I just wish U.S. would sell Mega Man or Sonic Already. COME ON.

Hell, I wish JP/EU or someone else would sell them. I'll gladly import. Let's complete this Wave 3 already. C'mooon.

Looks like the majority is Pre-order only seeing that Amazon stock just vanish (Pac-Man is gone now too)

Wouldn't expect Lucario being a rare one either it's really surprising hell it's the same price as Toon Link here. Damn what have I gotten myself into.

EDIT: Was Shulk also released already?

if you really don't want her, I guess some people here would be glad to trade you somebody for her. If not, then I guess open her.
 
Yeah but Rosie is good for what she is. Nintendo has very flawed/shallow characters, since plot has never been a thing in that universe. Elsa, has an entire movie propped up on her character which is shallow. Other characters in her own movie are better. And that's not even getting into the awful marketing that was behind that character and people pushing her like the most progressive female character to ever be written.

She is terrible through and through.
Erhmagod yes.
Alright that's cute. She's still terrible, but that's freaking cute. If there was an Anna one, I might bite.

Wow. I'm surprised there's a tag for it.

Anyways.. Reporting this question since I don't think anyone saw it.. Either that or no one here actually uses their Amiibo but me lol.

BTW. What is everyone naming their Rosalina amiibos? I originally named her just Rosalina last night but figured most would do that so I went with Rosetta (her Japanese name) instead
 
Wave 1: 12
Wave 2: 6
Wave 3: 11
Wave 4: 6
Total: 35

Prediction:
Wave 5: 10
Wave 6: 6
Total: 51

SDCC Exclusive predictions?

Btw I like the idea of the Mewtwo Amiibo unlocks the character = $13 OR simply unlock the character without the Amiibo for $3. Something like that.

I'm super boring and just name them with their actual names. The Japanese name idea is really cool though I might do that.
 
If I use Rosalina in SSB, she shall be named Rosamiibo.

Because I am lazy as hell & just think of ways to have "amiibo" or "iibo" in the character's name, like Mariibo or Luigiibo.
