I might have an extra one that I could sell for retail and shipping. Will let you know next week

Was pretty surprised at how well Best Buy and GS packaged these... normally my stuff arrives looking like shit from them. Eh, I open 'em, anyway... but gotta give credit when it's due.

Glad you finally got some good ones, I got crappy packaging this time from my TL and MK. Hoping BB can send me a replacement.
So you guys have the whole PushBullet thing set up here, right? I think we're looking to get a Canadian version going over in that thread, but how are you handling a) keeping it private, so that lurkers can't get access, and b) Letting more people than just the creator push to it, since they presumably would not always be able to watch it?

My stores here are all sold out too, said they'd be getting more back in about a week. Monster Hunter 4 not so lucky though

Name it something completely random and keep it in an e-mail tag that people have to quote to see.
Not sure how the pushes work though.
Yeah, I know online obviously. But over the past two days I've been to two best buys, two targets, and two Walmarts and none of them had it. I didn't go there specifically for majoras mask, just happened to be there and of course I always stop by the electronics. Was going to buy it if I happened to find one in store, but no luck. The Walmart that I'm in now had the most pathetic amiibo section ever. Literally two pegs with Mario and peach.

As usual Amazon.de comes through. Yeah i pay 22 bucks a Amiibo with shipping, but i don't have to waste the gas and stress to find it. JESUS.
Ordered Sonic and Mega Man. 44 bucks.
Ebay Sonic (which i keep losing) is going for 28 or so.. as is Mega man. So yeah.

Not amiibo related, but awesome frame and print in the background yo. I still need to frame that piece, it's pretty much guaranteed to be the next thing I put into an expensive frame.

My Mega Man came in and he is awesome. Definitely one of the best amiibos so far I must say. Still need Sonic, Ike, and Dedede but I'm going to have to wait on them and probably import.
It's a damn shame Simon Belmont didn't make it in because I would kill for an amiibo of him right about now.

My collection so far:
Hit up a bunch of stores, and couldn't find anyone else today. Two WMs, two BBYs, two Targets (they had NOTHING), and a Vintage Stock for kicks.
I'm gonna hold out hope I find Mega Man and Sonic at a TRU or somewhere else in the wild. But I think I'm gonna splurge on eBay prices for Ike and DeDeDe this week, before prices continue to climb.
Your place has great lighting.

Finished the second Amiibo display, turned out a little better than the first. Still working on the technique to cut it neatly. Looks good though! Need more materials to make 4 more
This makes me wish for official Nintendo displays.
Then I get sad thinking of how they'll be sold out 4 mins after being up online.

So I have a question with that site that was sent through push bullet.
I was apparently charged 3 times for the amiibos. Obviously it's a mistake. So how are they on refunds and understanding this?
JERK! No, seriously. Good point.
Remember the good 'ol days when you could import the Amiibo that you couldn't find in the US? Well we shot those days in the face with a bazooka a buried them in a hole in the desert where nobody would ever find them.
Amazon.de:
Rosie - 35 Euro
Shulk - 44 Euro
Meta Knight - 33 Euro
De De De - 30 Euro
How many of you thought, in November, that collecting these would only get harder as time passed?

I did not see this coming at all. When they were announced, all the reaction I saw in my circles were negative.
When I went to pick up my WiiU, I was the only guy there all morning, and I found out later I was the only guy who even preordered.
When they came out with Smash I grabbed it and a Yoshi and thought I'll casually pick up the rest one character a week.
Little did I know, it was already too late.

This was also my plan. After how much of a nightmare waves 2 and 3 were, I've taken the preorder route.

Im betting that wave 4 is going to be a bigger nightmare.

Wow, your Meta Knight looks perfect.

I stopped looking in stores unless I'm already there. Preorders are getting worse and vanish in minutes.
I want these, but I'm only going to jump through so many hoops before getting burned out.

Yup! If it's not preordered or your not there the second it's in stock, you won't be getting it.

Really stupid question, but is there a way I can grab data from an Amiibo from a friend of mine who lives out of state via file transfer of some kind?

I. Don't. Know. Hmmmmmm maybe if you had a NFC reader for a computer. Grab the data that way I guess. And from there, email it I guess lol. No clue though. Tread forward you pioneer you! *thumbs up*

Saw my first link in person on Friday at GameStop. Was going to pick him up but decided against it. Are all of his swords bent like that?

MEGA MAN AND SONIC ARE COMMON
That'd be great to see tbh , 3rd party characters should be flooded like Mario and peach
Scalpers sweatn'
If I see a mega man I'll buy another to customize

Awwwww damn. Lol, I got mad happy for a second there. Then I read GameStop and was like, wait, what?
I really hope Best Buy puts up Meta one more time.

Yeah real sorry! I was going to cancel the DDD because I thought for sure it was going to be delayed until the summer.
Looks like Sheik is getting restocked. My store has 8 now!
