As someone who is interested in getting some Amiibo's, the complete state of frenzy these figurines are in make me disinterested in attempting to buy them. Until Nintendo increases manufacturing tenfold, I won't bother. I'll make an earnest attempt in getting Lucina and Robin, but I'm not paying anything more than the MSRP.

Sigh, I need to stop thinking everything is a double entendre, it's killing me.

This thread moves so fast, I've had to resort to scrolling and looking mainly for posts with links, exclamation marks, and bold letters.
What scanning for Amiibo in-stock feels like to me:

And then put all the amiibos to fight, right?
I wouldn't be surprised if there actually was one of those IRL

Same here. I'll give it another day or so before I worry.

If Nintendo was REALLY smart and sneaky, they'd release the same waves over again but just with more intricate details.

I decided once I had like 8 of the initial 12 that I'd be going for a full set. Whoops.

So, theres a chance there could be a stock update at Best buys trmw(Canada)? Really want a sheik....
Lol right? Btw you're going to probably hate me for tihs but I just saw this. Apparently it was released today. Guess the leaked green dress was true after all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOxSaP9orhE

I have slowly been getting my nephew into gaming and collecting, he's 10 now. Started him with me and amiibos, just checked my voice mail, "uncle when are the new amiibos coming....love you bye" talk about a SUPER buzzkill. I second a support group for amiibo hunters. How is everyone dealing with the emotional stress from these things?

I am totally relaxed.
Hell, I just got Bowser and think I'm hot shit and everyone has him.
I'm seeing my therapist. Been seeing her since I was diagnosed with PTSD after my battle with cancer and the shit with my family (mom said I deserved Cancer. God gave it to me since I'm not religious. Basically my family abandoned me and left me to die. My cousin who was the only IRL support I had, took her life because of a life long battle with depression. All of that + the Cancer really messed me up).
Anyways, was talking about how weird it is that you guys are basically my family since my own isn't in my life. All of these thousands of people are my friends and basically family. And these people support me and get me through the struggles I have to keep battling.
We live in a weird time where you can have that with the Internet. Sorry for the random rant. Was just reflecting is all. I guess I really am lucky.

No but seriously, you guys are just awesome, I have no one to share my interests with outside of my GF

If anyone deserves the impending Duck Hunt Amiibo, this guy/gal does.

Yes. If anyone wants me to send them one, I would. If any Amiibro/gal is in so Cal, you will always have a place to stay if you needed it.

This is actually why i hate when people bitch about there being so much less human interaction now. I've met so many wonderful people from GAF or other places, who have been there when no one else is, since i live in a small town that i generally don't gel in very well.
Its given myself the ability to have friends and people to know when i move to a strange city i've never really been in for long.
It gives you an outlet to connect with people when it can be difficult.
I'ts incredible, and it always makes me happy to be a part of communities like this or Steam-GAF or the retro fans, because so many of them have so many great people.
Glad I caught that. I figured maybe they printed an early shipping label.

Some amiibo went back in stock on the uk Nintendo store managed to get a lucario ordered
Funny how I forgot to check Nintendo official store other everywhere else lol

Hah thanks. But ive already gotten all the Amiibo I really want (outside Shulk, Lucina, Palutena and zero suit Samus). I'd rather someone like Intelli Heath gets it because it's his fav character. Even though he prob doesn't like me, I'd still do anything to make sure he got one.
Really, id rather help others get their Amiibos then me finishing my collection. I get more joy making others smile and be happy then me getting stuff. I made up my mind that I would fight and win against cancer so that I could make other people happy. So the best I could ask from others, is that people continue to look out for one another and help their amiibros/amiigals in need. That would make me happier than words could ever express.

We got you, man.
Well it's Tuesday and I still haven't been able to go to Target. I don't have a good feeling for when I will be able to.

I feel the same way pretty much. Just looking for peeps to share my hobby/interests.
Me and my Fiancé are so grateful for you. You are seriously like a best friend or older brother. You've helped us out every step of the way it's crazy.
Jason pretty much texts me all the time and makes sure keep me informed in case I can't stay on top of things. Not to mention that since I came into collecting late, there is no way I could have gotten all of Wave 3. And yet I only need Sonic and Mega Man now to finish it. All because of you

Since Villager is the best fighter in Smash and he'd be totally easy to perfect in a figure, did Nintendo make his eyes too far apart on purpose to be assholes???

I'm still looking too. Can't seem to find it at a decent price anymore.
So, you can apparently bring up an item's Amazon page by using http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/<insert ASIN here> and with Wave 4 going live on Amazon.de, we have access to all the wave 4 ASIN. If my theory is correct, as soon as http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00SSU6940 returns anything but a 404, Ness should be available for preorder.
Try FedEx.
$117 for me.
I don't know how they could implement this without a few things.
1) You don't wanna piss off the people who bought both versions to get Mewtwo for free.
2) You don't wanna make an amiibo that makes you buy more content as DLC, as it'll piss off the people who buy it and don't know you can't use it without DLC.
3) If you release the DLC first, you have to make the people who bought the digital DLC not angry that they could've just bought an amiibo instead.
4) Stock will likely sell out anyway, why create an incentive unless you plan to create a huge stock of the character?
If they do make DLC character(s) into amiibos, I expect the functionality to be limited. As in- when Mewtwo and say Lucas and Wolf are released, an update goes out to Smash. The update allows you to play against these characters online and gives you their amiibo data. But you can only play as them if you pay to download them.
Are you sure they'll have the same ASIN? They're technically different SKUs.
