THERE IS NO SLEEP ON AMIIBOGAF

WAVE 4 COULD GO UP ANY MOMENT

I'd probably just post it and tell you guys on Steam anyway. :P
Completely random, but do you mind making my avatar Amiibo-fied. You can probably fit it where theres open around his head towards the middle. Or whatever will look best lol

Thanks if you can!

Welll folks, that's about it for me tonight.

It's been good, but sleep and work beckon. Probably won't be posting much on days that I'm working, which is most of the week, but, as always, I'll definitely be checking in to see any updates.

Everyone, have a great night, good luck finding the amiibos you want, let's get some good competition going in Smash sometime, and always remember:

"If you believe in yo'self, eat all your school, stay in milk, drink your teeth, don't do sleep and get eight hours of drugs, you can get work!"

Oh, and anyone with a Mega Man amiibo, particularly CanadianGAF, PM me for a trade, please. I have Rosalina, Fox, and Yoshi. Do it!

Later, everyone!
 
Why Horizon was Banned

<Horizon> Can someone go to amiibogaf and tell everyone I didn't get banned because of the new junior named Lucina. Apparently I got banned because my "waifu posts" were making others feel uncomfortable.
<Horizon> 2 week ban, I'll be back on the 18th.
AmiiboGAF OT4| Bring me the Horizon

no female Robin is a crime against humanity
Available to those on the Nintendo of Somalia Club Nintendo. You have to be pirate status.
This + people laughing at my post count thingy makes me feel like people have some issue with me.

Guess the PMs now make sense.
Wait, what happened to Azula?

See, this thread moves so fast, this whole saga had already played out by the time i got back.
Easily the gayest thread we've had so far! Almost at OT4 in less than a week. Amiibos becoming mainstream. I liked them before they were popular.
Edit: apparently my misspelling of 'fastest' resulted in the word being corrected to 'gayest'.

It has come.

Only took a million refreshes on Amazon to get.

The little bastard who started my Amiibo addiction.
Welcome! To the 'I own Little Mac club'.

The thread would degenerate into nothing but profanity and gifs of cynical or deranged laughter.
Hahaha yep!
 
AmiiboGAF OT4| Bring me the Horizon

Wait, what happened to Azula?

*reads first post that you quoted* What? Did we all miss this post?

As for Azula. He's taking a vacation to focus on his fiancé.

Anyways, amiibo GAF seems calm tonight. Hate the calm. It could mean something's happening or nothing's happening. You just don't know. Why can't they just give us a day and time when they will open new preorders here in the states?
 
I can't believe little Mac is so rare...

Again I thank you guys when wave 2 started and I saw him in toys r us and you guys said grab him!

Because NoA likes to see its customers squirm.
 
I'm heading out too guys. I'll leave a final reminder here for tonight.

The day's just starting here. Time to take over AmiiboGAF. Hahahaha.

Edit: I'm cold and alone. I'm going to FGW thread :(
 
I have an amiibo theory.

Hear this out:

The Port Strikes in California have been going on for a long time. Once they are resolved, I believe we will get a flood of Little Mac, Pit, Villager and rare Wave 3 amiibo enter the supply chains of Amazon, Target, Walmart, Best Buy and TRU in the United States.

Cross your fingers.

Ha, yeah. Only the rare amiibos are stuck in the port strike. More likely scenario is a flood of Zelda, Bowser, and Luigi the likes of which we've never seen.

Hahahah, yeah, there's a hidden treasure trove of Little Macs and Pits in a vortex on ships in the ocean. Somehow Peaches and Kirby's found there way here in endless abundance though.
 

Not this kind of dreamer?

Anyone seen Jawmuncher lately?

Anyways, once again welcome to our new amiibros/sis that joined us today. And remember, just like Pringles when you buy amiibos...

We can tack on another theory to that. My theory is Target is hogging all the Rosalina amiibos themselves and the ebay scalpers are really just Target executives.

Edit 2:
Everyone. I would like to introduce to you guys the latest amiibos.

Does anyone else get these items popping up when search for amiibo on AmiAmi?
 
In other toy-to-life news, Disney Infinity just announced that Quorra and Sam Flynn won't get physical figures. They'll be boring old DLC. And only for the iOS and PC versions.

It be like Nintendo deciding to scrap a Duck Hunt and Game & Watch amiibo, instead allowing you to just buy the functionality. Because reasons.

it is way too early for preorders to come up in Japan.

Yeah that's the impression I got when I read the estimated release date from Nippon-Yasan. For some reason I always had this impression it was coming out early March. Who knows what I was thinking
 
Just got home from work, no Amiibo news lol.

Sadly. It's gotten a bit quiet, slow and lonely in here. BTW, are Canadian folks using now in stock to track Rosalina? What kind of tools does Canadians have to track inventory as well. I have a friend that completely zoned out of the group chat for this other game the night Rosalina went up and she missed out. Worst part was she was still up at that time. Just wasn't paying attention

I don't think you can get Rosalina online in Canada ever again.

Amazon won't restock them, Futureshop and Best Buy are done, EB sold out (in 30 seconds). All that's left is Wal-Mart, and all the scalpers and collectors all know what's happening.

People have had luck just going to EB or Toys 'R Us in Canada to grab it, but I bet everyone checks all the stores frequently now and I heard stores are getting them in RANDOMLY.

I honestly am just so glad I imported from AmiAmi, the headache is real (if I didn't).
 
I've just finished updating the Ace Combat game page on amiibros with new compatibility info. :)

I found out today that, in addition to Chrom's list, it also supports Zelda.
I'd say support for 12 different amiibo figures is pretty darn good for a 3rd-party game!

Bandai-Namco uploaded a trailer for the JP-version on YouTube showing off all of the unlockable amiibo skins if anyone's interested:

Whoops, I actually meant to include Zelda but didn't realize I forgot to do so. Thanks for catching that.

So... you're saying FS and BB won't pull a Target where 3 in the morning one random night and just put them up again? And how come Amazon won't restock? Is that how it's always been?

Oh was just looking up Rosalina on Amazon (US side) and noticed the desktop figure thingies that come from gacha balls are priced at like 20 some dollars. Maybe I should have bought some more and sold them. I got mine at a convention for 2 dollars and peaked into the little holes to know which one was Rosalina. But yeah, I can get a Rosalina cat plush for that price (which looks very nice compared to the standard one. Might get one sometime down the line)

The stock was inherited due to Target dying off slowly in Canada, it's already stretched across 6 retailers (FS, BB, TRU, Wal-Mart, Amazon, EB). There's no chance of restock unless Nintendo decides to send everyone more, which I don't think is possible.

Rosalina has been a special case due to Target's situation in Canada.

But overall yes, FS/BB have not restocked any rare Amiibos at all since launch. Don't think most retailers have in general.
 

link doesn't work

seriously sold out in just one minute?
Is Toon Link rare? I mean I can just buy one off Target right now. I'm confused? http://www.target.com/p/nintendo-to...A-16811587#prodSlot=medium_1_1&term=toon+link
You're able to buy up to 3. Or are you only able to put into cart and not able to check out?
I don't know why you would buy it from TRU since Target is cheaper.

Ahh I knew that they were splitting some of Target's stock but I thought Nintendo would have shipped them more since more retailers got added to the list.

Btw, what was Luigi's situation? Was he a false rare like Diddy Kong or was he never rare at all and I just misread posts a month ago?

Diddy was a false rare, no one wants Luigi or he's just too common lol. Never had trouble finding one, but I never bought one.
 
I already own Toon Link, I'm just commenting about the link provided that's all. because it did not work, also i searched TRU.com and wasn't able to find a toon link listing *edit* okay the toon link tru.com listing shows now, weird. tru website is such bullshit.

I'm waiting on wave 4 pre-orders :(

I have a question:

I was looking over my gamestop.com orders, I have an online order for in-store pickup of the Shulk amiibo. The order status says "closed" which seems strange to me because I have some other pre-order sand their status says "open"

should I be worried O.o

Ahh. Well the link worked for me. But yeah, if you guys are actually looking for Toon Link, it seems like Target has it available so get it there if you wish to save a dollar (before tax). I thought people said closed orders for GameStop means that they were preparing the shipment from the warehouse or something.

well mine is for in-store pickup so not sure what that means for me then... since they aren't shipping it to me

all i care about is being able to walk into my gamestop on the 13th and pick it up :/ 'closed' status is confusing

Oh yeah. That confirms it even more. I remember reading yesterday I believe, people that work at GameStop or knew people that worked there said that closed meant that the shipment was going from the warehouse to the store and that you will be able to pick it up soon. Next week or something? Someone that remembers everything that was said can confirm the info. Wish Mononoke was here. He would have remembered it better lol.

The website doesn't accurately represent your in-store pre-order status.

If you are really worried, check with the store you set as your pick-up location. Mine still has all mine in there.
 
I'm assuming you don't mean USA... i've seen no mention of them going for sale anywhere yet :(
Um.. Stealth edit? But Canada, Australia, and other European countries had Wave 4? Thought it was just UK

Just got a package from Toys´r us.

The only one i want and can´t find is Little Mac. Dude´s just gone.
Nice. Had to do a double take. Was like, wait toys r us? Rosalina? Oh you're Canadian
