Reselling is not a perpetual machine.

If a repressing takes supply above demand, the markup is gone.

Sure, but do you really think that is going to happen? Based on amiibo history? At best it goes back in stock for a few days, if not hours.

 

[Zonic]

Marth makes sense due to Nintendo stating he'd get reprinted & Codename Steam. The others is a nice surprise. Hoping to aim for Marth & maybe Little Mac.

 

[Bluth54]

Reddit user states that the SKUs for Marth, Villager, Wii Fit Trainer and Little Mac at Gamestop have been reinstated, with updated SSB titles to boot. Great news.

Great news. Hopefully they'll be plenty of stock to go around (and stores limit it to 1 per person) and scalpers get screwed over.

 

[noseriouslyguys]

Just need Villager man

Spoiler

and the Marth reprint

. >_<

Love that proper character select screen order! I salute you.

 

[Vormund]

Fantastic news! I hope they just replenish all Amiibo eventually when stocks get low. How many of you are also going to collect the Amiibo Cards? Gotta have the card+amiibo for 100% completion! Anyone going to go that far? lol

Have to see what the cards look like first, but I probably won't bite. I have 2 display cabinets for this sort of thing and it just wouldn't be right.

bring on the reprints. can't stand the warped sword on my Marth

 

[SegaShack]

So are Sonic and Mega Man out at Gamestop? Ordered on 12/25 for in store pick upand haven't heard from them. Order Status on the site still says "closed".

They are arriving in stores this week.

I just wonder how small the reprint will be. They're doing it to have him available for codename steam, but Kirby just came out and two of the supported amiibos are fucked.

 

[Thoraxes]

Anybody who has gotten Ike and Mm today: are you west coast or east coast GameStops?

Southside Chicago Illinois here.

 

[Danthrax]

My first and only Amiibo!

yeah, sure, "only," we believe you

He looks good next to your other guys.

my guess is probably just slightly more than original amount.

Rosalind next pls

 

[Shig]

A friend came through with a Mega Man for me today! O frabjuous day! I helped him get a Sonic a few days ago... Karma really does work!

Some hope for a Little Mac reprint is great. That's one I really wanted that I missed.

 

[SegaShack]

Thank you.

 

[Brianâ˜]

Rare amiibos for Australia are actually being stocked in stores.
Just went to EBGames Brimbank and snagged a Marth Amiibo.

Japanese Import btw.

 

[reelbigtink]

Got Sonic from a Walmart out in the middle of nowhere. Still need Mega Man and Ike but I don't expect to get those.

Gahhahghhgh I just want to preorder Ness

 

[Josh5890]

Now that gamestop has brought back the holy trinity, I'm afraid to go to sleep tonight.

Will probably start hunting around Target and EB tomorrow then. I need to get Fox, and Captain Falcon possibly. If its like my Kirby pickup, I might be up for a bit of driving.

They didn't bring anything back, they did an update in their system. This doesn't mean they have stock....

 

[That Wont Fit In There]

I really hope I can snag a NA Marth when he reprints. Maybe even buy him off of someone here if I miss the 30 second window lol.

 

[Ashilyn]

I'm not going to lie, I am rather hopeful that they are going to get more in once the port strike is solved. While I doubt I'll be able to get one because of my schedule, with any luck it'd drive the price of WFT and Villager down to a more reasonable level.

 

[nvrndr]

I sent Ike out to a good home. He will be missed and taken care of.

However I am still waiting for lucina and robin preorders. I HOPE push bullet comes through. IT seems super dead.

thanks again man!

 

[-Horizon-]

Even if Marth comes back, I still don't want him.

 

[Anime]

Even if Marth comes back, I still don't want him.

What if they fix his face? If we can have the prototype version tat would be a dream come true!

 

[Gartooth]

OMG please I need a Marth and Villager to complete Waves 1 through 3! :O

Managed to get Wii Fit Trainer taken care of recently by importing her with Lucario though.

 

[kirby_fox]

Sleep. You can dream of a world where no one buys to resell and we can take our time slowly buying them instead of running around for hours or staying in the bitter cold for nothing.

I want to go there.

 

[Thoraxes]

I can't even describe how relieved I feel now that these past 4 weeks of wave 3 madness are over for me.

And on top of that I have all of wave 4 preordered from Amazon.co.uk.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I have a metaknight I am willing to trade. I am open to anything, even nonamiibo stuff. The only issue is the corners on top of the package are bent. The figurine seems fine.

 

[-Horizon-]

Hmmm, yeah I'd reconsider it then. I doubt it though lol.

 

[Toki767]

Hmmm, yeah I'd reconsider it then. I doubt it though lol.

My Marth looks more like the left than the right. At least, his face is rounder.

 

[mgs2master2]

thanks again man!

[Shauni]

Goddamn! I knew some of the Marths had some face issues but I didn't know some were that bad.

 

[Zubz]

I thought GameStops were selling Mega Man & D3 on Wednesday... They sold out halfway through my shift today...

 

[Persona7]

Goddamn! I knew some of the Marths had some face issues but I didn't know some were that bad.

When the amiibos launched I looked at every single marth on the shelf and every single one had a terrible face and bent swords. It was so bad I didn't purchase one.

I feel like if I were to order one, I wouldn't be as lucky lol.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb3N01lm6P8

Holy crap my ears.

And suddenly I'm reminded of this.

 

[kirby_fox]

I thought GameStops were selling Mega Man & D3 on Wednesday... They sold out halfway through my shift today...

Preorder people got calls, me included, saying Wednesday. Others have called and already have them.

I better still have mine if they started selling early...

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Btw, what is the best shipping boxes to buy from amazon for amiibos?

 

[O.v.e.rlord]

Rosalind next pls

She still hasn't shown up at your place?

 

[mgs2master2]

Sounds about right. Most Ikes have derp faces and melted swords. I had one of the lucky ones lol. pretty much why I called him Ick

I feel like if I were to order one, I wouldn't be as lucky lol.


Holy crap my ears.

And suddenly I'm reminded of this.

lol i think the Morth is much more annoying. That badness and terribleness reflects the face of morth.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

100% cards? Almost certainly not unless they have way fewer cards than I'm expecting. Certain series I may go all in for, but beyond that I'd just go for absolutely favorite characters and any cards with exclusive functionality I'm interested in (I'm sure there will be plenty of characters only released as cards).

 

[Korosenai]

How did you come across 2 Little Macs dood. I could barely get a hold on 2 rares like Pit and Falcon.

I got lucky and found them at a BX (pretty much a Walmart for an Air Force base) and bought them when they first came out.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

What if they fix his face? If we can have the prototype version tat would be a dream come true!

You just know that if Marth gets a higher quality reprint there's going to be endless amounts of Internet posts about how it's a "literal slap to the face" of early Marth buyers.

 

[-Horizon-]

She still hasn't shown up at your place?

I have one more week of hope left in the tank before despair sets in :T

...I've been playing too much Danganronpa.

 

[Sorta Maximus]

I took a hard look at the Amiibo's today and I still don't get it. I'd rather collect the Amiibo cards to get the gameplay enhancements.

 

[ZiggyPalffyLA]

They're not for everybody. Mostly just people with a sense of fun and purpose in their lives.

EDIT: And plenty of cash to spare.

 

[Fox Mulder]

I haven't heard anything from gamestop since the robo call last week saying I'd get it on wednesday. People are getting them today.

They've sent a text and called for previous amiibos, so it'll be just great if they've sold my fully paid DDD early.

 

[bfwings55]

OKAY SO

I ended up with two Mega Man amiibos due to a long story (I'm not a scalper I promise).

Does anyone on GAF want to buy one? I won't charge anything crazy. I just thought I'd offer it instead of simply returning one.

PM me bros

 

[-Horizon-]

That face is one that has seen things. Terrible things that nintendo has done.

Spoiler

it saw F-zero U get cancelled lol

I think I'd really like collecting cards more if only because I have more nostalgia for that hobby.

 

[Windom Earle]

I was laughing at people collecting amiibos... Then I started playing Smash... And bought "just one figure"... Famous last words.
