Amiibo Thread 5 | Because we didn't preorder thread 4

On the side, I don't have any extra amiibo for the trade thread, but anyone who has multiple Dededes, I would be willing to buy one; region doesn't matter nor does box, I open them.
 
Again, I received an E-Mail from a retailer regarding Shulk:

[...] der Artikel war bei uns sofort ausverkauft. Nintendo Deutschland sicherte uns zu, dass wir umgehend eine neue Lieferung erhalten, machte jetzt aber telefonisch einen Rückzieher. Man weiß zur Zeit überhaupt nicht, ob und falls ja, wann der Artikel nachproduziert wird.

Sad, highlighted part: Nintendo Germany assured us, we would immediately receive a new delivery, however, they withdrew their decision by phone.
 
It looks like Nintendo is only doing amiibo for upcoming and current releases on their software. I'd be surprised if they did an amiibo line based on previous games/characters.

Good news is? A Shovel Knight sequel is actually very likely, and may be in the works right now. Bad news is? Nintendo has no stake in the game; it's owned by Yacht Club Games, who definitely don't have the money for NFC Figures.
 
Someone I know has been talking nonsense about Amiibo on Facebook making claims that he has a set of Amiibo that won't be released until June. He won't take pictures or say who they are.

In other news: got my Ike pre-order from GameStop in yesterday. Now I'm just waiting on those Lucina and Robin Amiibo pre-orders to go up.

He must have the new earthbound line my uncle told me about.
 
I can fit 12 more amiibo on my shelf.

I'm missing 2 of the released one, then wave 4 has 6, so that means there's only space for 4 more :c

So if I'm counting right I need to find space for 9 more to fit the Smash roster, plus the possibility of Mii and Mewtwo.

Don't forget Rayman, snake, chorus kids and ice climbers,

What's the cheapest way to import a BNIB Villager from anywhere in Europe or Japan to NA?

I don't know about Europe, but for the Japanese one this eBay listing seems to be the cheapest http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Nintend...780?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cf3e053dc

$63 with free SAL shipping. On Amazon Japan the cheapest is 7900 yen which is $70 USD, and then you have to pay for shipping via a forwarding service.

Edit Looking at the listing again, the description oddly says "amiibo Pit" so you should contact the seller first if you buy it.

Yeah, that's exactly why I said it'll never happen. But it sure would be cool! And there is always the dim possibility of an amiibo being made for Shovel Knight's sequel, whenever that comes out. I'm not holding my breath, though.

For some reason I read it as you want to see a shovel knight amiibo burn in a camp fire. Like that video that have someone burn little Mac for some reason.

Haha, no way - I love Shovel Knight. I'd treasure an amiibo of him! I didn't know about that video, but god I hate people like that.
 
So if I wanted to import from say Amazon.co.jp third-party, how would I go about using Tenso?

Well due to Japanese laws, you need to submit proof of identity before you can register with an import service, meaning you need to submit your Drivers license and one other thing (I submitted my bank statements).

Then once you're given the clear you're given an address to put as the ship to address for anything you order online, then they tell you your package arrived, and how much it'll cost to ship it, and they hold onto it until you pay it (they're closed Saturdays and Sundays, which is Friday/Saturday our time).
 
Today is the day I'm supposed to pick up my Dedede from GameStop. I have a feeling one of the employees is going to take it. He's always talking about Amiibo and was really upset that his Dedede was pushed back to the Summer. Guess I'll find out soon.

When will they request that information?
 
In my country, Chile, amiibos was in the newspaper today.

"The #amiiboshunters ask: Where i can get Megaman?"

Reminds me of someone that melted the MM XL and sold it as art.
Some people man.

Also, in my news Walmart canceled my extra Sheiks, so sorry.
I have 1 extra Roselina, 1 extra Megaman (thanks to a friend), and probably 1 extra Dedede. I will get together a post.

Nice to know. I was curious about Tenso considering I am going to be importing more now.
Guess Nin-Nin, Ami-Ami, and Nippon bypass that since they are import companies?

They've had them in the back since Monday apparently. I never got a call or text from gamestop like they've done in the past, but when I showed up and asked, they went to the back like they had a pile of them.

WOW! There would be mass outrage if NA put amiibo in newspaper because they would most likely use pictures of ones that are completely unavailable anyway.
 
I watched the Mario Party 10 trailer, although I'm not sure if we can say that Daisy and Waluigi are confirmed for Amiibos. The Amiibo game mode only showed Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Yoshi, Wario, Rosalina, and DK as playable. (No idea how the Bowser Amiibo fits into that mode)

Although I do think it is safe to say that DK, Wario, and Rosalina will be receiving Super Mario line Amiibos based on their in game figures. Although that probably won't happen for a while, at least until Smash Wario does his run through stores.
 
Has anybody actually successfully ordered anything from this place? I ordered a King Dedede from them and still haven't heard squat.

I ordered Dedede from them too. I did receive an email order confirmation. And my CC has been charged. As far as I can tell it hasn't been shipped yet. Although the item description did say something like "shipping Feb 28" or "available Feb 28" or something so I'm waiting until then to get annoyed.
 
My MegaMan arrived with some dents in the plastic packaging. It's not huge and it's not noticeable from most angles, but I'm going to keep it in box, so I was just going to return it.

I'm not sure if anyone is having difficulty finding him. Does anyone want it before I do this? I'd just ask for regular price + tax + shipping.

EDIT: On Hold

My 3-De I ordered from them is being shipped as we speak. Should get it by Friday. Wasn't sure about them, but they seem to be legit. Just have to cross my fingers the condition of the amiibo is alright.
 
Thanks to everyone who was hyping up the Sonic/Megaman links yesterday! Ended up getting a Sonic from GameStop. Was hoping Dedede would go on sale also but I ended up doing an Amazon import for $25, which I didn't think was too terrible a price (less than double, I'm okay with typically).

Anyway, I have a great condition, unopened Rosalina that I'd like to trade for either a Little Mac or a Shulk. PM me if interested!

Nice. Hopefully I'll hear from them soon.

I ordered as a guest so I could put an order in as quickly as possible before they sold out, so I can't check the status of the order unfortunately since I had no account. I just have to wait and hope for the best.
 
Sucks there wasn't any Meta Knight online like with Rosalina & Shulk. Considering I was planning on getting Kirby & The Rainbow Curse, of course the amiibo that works with it is retail exclusive.

Meta Knight was available a few times online, though. And he was up for pre-order for a while.
