He told me he would start giving his ambioos away to charity! Are you telling me he's a liar?

Chinner, please stop. I know that acting like this is your schtick ala blame space, but It isn't funny anymore.

I'm hoping there's at least a Direct near/after the SMB wave 1 launches. Only one month to preorder is super short in comparison to the other waves.

 

[Brianâ˜]

so how exactly does this work? we pay now and are guaranteed one? and aud = austrailian dollar?

Your side =
You pay for one on the website and enter your address (etc.)
My side =
I receive money on Paypal and proceed to preorder or purchase it for you, with forwarding services. I don't earn any profit from it.

It's basically a service.

I don't know if this post can be allowed. Mods and Admins, if you see this and if it's not allowed, please delete.

Anyways, I opened up a new store/service dedicated to Amiibos! It's called Amiibo-Cheki, please note, that I don't scalp here, nor do I obtain a profit. I just make it easier for foreigners to order from Japanese websites at the cheapest prices. Please support it. Thanks~

That's a really cool service and I appreciate you doing it. Too bad that Ness is already sold out.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Rumor has it Charizard and Ness are gonna be rare from wave 4.

 

[melman101]

I bet Nintendo is not putting up preorders in the US for Wave 4 so they can sneak attack us with a release :-(.

 

[Zalman]

There's no way Charizard is rare unless he's a store exclusive.

 

[Dimentios]

There's no way Charizard is rare unless he's a store exclusive.

I agree. He is like Bowser. Everybody knows him. However, I'll bet not even 50 % of the people who are into gaming, even nintendo only, know Ness. Probably even less than 30%.

According to that theory, there will only be a couple G&W and DHD amiibo in the whole world. lol.

 

[Maitiú]

Has anyone here done a battery-less LED mod on an amiibo? If so, please post pics!

 

[Insaniac]

Plays the music of the amiibo when you place it.

I definitely will make one of these some time in the future. It'll be like an amiibo Jukebox. Have it cycle through music based on the amiibo.

In fact, that should be implemented in Smash! It'd a great way to enjoy the amiibos without actually being "extra" content.

Judging by ANZ pre orders, he's a common.

Thanks for this service, it is very generous.

Considering NA has the greatest madness when it comes to supply, especially after the store exclusives, Pit, Little Mac, Villager, etc, I imagine they're reinforcing the floor on this one.

I do not expect Wave 4 to be available for pre-order until after Mario Party amiibos release or late March

Duck Hunt was included with nearly every NES. I would guess he is one of the more recognizable characters for more people than you'd think.

Haha, yeah it was that thread that I just came from. Incredible. Here's a pic of his LED mods of Mario, Pikachu, and Mega Man. These three look like they are battery powered before he learned he didn't need a battery.

Edit: If anyone's interested, here's their pic walkthrough for Mario (battery version) , and here's the final product:

You think so? He is impossible to know if you did'nt grow up with NES. I wonder, are there any data regarding the smash consumers and their age?

So Code Name S.T.E.A.M. comes out on Friday this week (US) and this leads me to ask a very stupid question.
Did Nintendo of America have the foresight to ship more Marth, Ike, Robin, and Lucina figures out this week?
I mean I know the answer is no, but I had to ask.

Robin and Lucinia won't be out until next month, Marth re-stocks are still unknown and Ike just released, and a little difficult to come by.

I'm hoping there's at least a Direct near/after the SMB wave 1 launches. Only one month to preorder is super short in comparison to the other waves.

Other than Toad, who really needed the extra preorder time? the only SMB amiibos I'd want would be an alternate Rosalina (I love the colord and anime styling) and Wario (I REALLLLLLLY do not like that Biker costume).

[kubus]

So I asked this before and didn't get a reply, but I just finished paying Tenso for a package with 4 amiibo from amazon.co.jp (Shulk x2, Dedede and Meta Knight).

I wasn't sure what to put as the package contents and package value as customs fees are brutal here in Europe, so I went with "Toys, 1800 yen". I just read that Tenso won't ship your parcel if you don't put the real "market value" on the package, but they estimated it at 80 euro as I bought them from Japanese "scalpers". Hope they won't make an issue out of it.

 

[LiK]

I think Wave 4 of Smash and the first wave of Mario Party are the last sets I'm gonna collect. I'm frankly tired of trying to keep up with them now.

Who cares, trolls die without attention. Mentioning him should be banned too.

I bet Nintendo is not putting up preorders in the US for Wave 4 so they can sneak attack us with a release :-(.

Maybe retailers are just pissed at them. A stealth release without preorders will be better for retailers than all the hassle of fucked preorders.

People get pissed at retailers for nintendos constant supply problems, and places have had to issue gift cards or whatever to make up for it.

I wouldn't hold my breath. They mentioned reprinting Marth for the game, but king dedede and meta knight were fucked for the Kirby game. I seriously doubt marth will be much different.

 

[ChaosXVI]

I'm still baffled by how rare Dedede is, I still haven't found him, and I've checked stores from online from every Best Buy, Gamestop, and Target in my state (Illinois) and no Dededes are ANYWHERE.

Meta Knight I get, what with the whole Best Buy exclusive bullshit...but still how annoying.

If you already paid then I would sit and wait, worse case scenario you'll have to repay for shipping (You'll get a refund on your original payment but it takes a while :\ )
I've only imported from Amazon Japan through Tenso, I haven't had a problem outside of "your package is too big for your selected shipping method".

Nah I think DHD will be uncommon. Sure he's not relevant anymore but a lot of folks know him as "that fucking cunt that laughs at me when I missed a duck"

Did they once refuse to ship an item for you because of the value you entered, or was that because you chose a shipping method that wasn't compatible with the dimensions of your package?

I really hope I can get away with putting 1800 yen on the box, if they insist on putting the 10,725 yen on there this is going to be one VERY expensive import ;_;. Don't let me down Tenso!

 

[mjc]

It's kind of baffling that Nintendo won't ship out Robin or Lucina until well after STEAM launches...really weird. You think they'd want to push more people to buy amiibos to use in that game. Ike and Marth are still super scarce. Weird stuff.

Nintendo has built a 100+ year old business on being baffling all the time. Why stop now!

 

[Beelzebufo]

Awesome, Toon Link is one of the better looking Amiibos, has great design work on his tunic and the sword isn't floppy.

Agreed on most of that, but he does have a curvy sword.

 

[ZeroCDR]

So my original Wal-mart order for what would be my first Amiibo, Mega Man, hasn't worked out. I got hit with a "delayed" e-mail the next day and it's been "processing" for ship-to-store for nearing two weeks now. He's nowhere to be found in my local area, despite being so common everywhere else it seems. I lucked out on Amazon a few days ago though!

Only thing is I don't have prime, and I'll be damned if I'm going to pay for shipping, so I ordered a Pikachu and Toon Link with it.. Now I'm waiting for Charizard and Ness pre-orders to open up, and I'll stack a Samus on top of that..

What have I done V_V

Reddit is reporting their gold Mario's are getting cancelled, even if they only ordered one. Anyone here get a cancellation?

 

[Nerd_Incognito]

So after almost a month of traveling through the limbo of the United States Postal System, Rosalina finally found her way to me, safe and sound.

My collection is complete (for now)! A thousand thanks to silverhick for the trade and helping as much as possible from afar.

I had an order of two. No cancelation email yet. I placed my preorder on the very first wave of preorders.

 

[je_ssi e]

Reddit is reporting their gold Mario's are getting cancelled, even if they only ordered one. Anyone here get a cancellation?

Ah, hell naw!
If my shit gets canceled...

I put an order in within a few minutes of it going up for the very first time.

It says it's processing:

I honestly never looked before, so.. maybe I'm fine? Aha.
At the very least it hasn't been canceled...

...YET!
DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNN!!

I was also charged right away:

I used PayPal to order it.
So, I think I'm good.

I honestly won't be too heartbroken since it's just a gold Mario, no different than the regular one. But, it'd be nice to have regardless.

 

[ChaosXVI]

I got 1 of mine during the very first burst of pre-orders, and the other 1 during the 2nd preorder period of time...

I'll deal with it if one gets preordered...but both and I'll go nuts.

 

[Lombax]

The dimensions, the box was too big for the method I selected. I think it has more to due with warranty than it does value, like if it's lost, how much compensation is dependent on that.

At least thats how I THINK it works. I would just list the 1800 and see where it goes from there. They won't raise a fit and ban you, just make you aware of the problem if it becomes one.

[Ignition365]

I had ordered 2. they cancelled 1 within a few hours.

Second time preorders went up I preordered another 2. They cancelled both within an hour.

Third time preorders went up, I preordered 2 again. They cancelled both within a few minutes.

I thought they did this to everyone to prevent scalping... but then I heard no one else was getting cancelled. Now I'm feeling better.

 

[poy1990]

Pre ordered gold mario during the 1st wave. I hope it doesn't get cancelled.
