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

Not open for further replies.
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).

Some people prefer the non-planking Luigi.

The only Super Mario Amiibos that really don't matter are Mario, Peach, Yoshi and Donkey Kong.
 
Reddit is reporting their gold Mario's are getting cancelled, even if they only ordered one. Anyone here get a cancellation?

Reading the thread it really seems like only the one person. Maybe one other but not seeing anybody else confirm it. I don't think this is problem. If the person is telling the truth, who knows why it was canceled. Maybe they had separate orders on different accounts or maybe they didn't have the funds in the bank.
 
Got a Sheik yesterday putting me at Mario, Pikachu, and Sheik. Not the rarest obviously, but I really wanted a Sheik. Ness is the next one on my radar, and then ROB once that one exists. That may be it for me though.

There's more than 1. Not a lot though. Still, any sign of cancellations sucks.
 
Amiibo! First post here.

Amiibo craze has been insane. I have all 29 but wave 4 wait is brutal. I've decided I'm not going to get duplicate characters. I mean; where does it really end? Gold Mario is a wake up call to me that I shouldn't continue down this path.

One Amiibo per character I can handle.

Edit: sigh. Maybe one pose per character. I just gotta have paper mario and 8bit mario Amiibo.

I'm so weak

This is why I could see retailers moving away from preorders for this stuff. Just put them on shelves as they come out and save themselves the headaches of Nintendos bullshit.
 
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.

Man, what a relief she finally showed up! Great way to start the week.
 
But then everyday its treated like a black Friday.

Yeah, if that happened I'd have no choice but to bow to scalpers if I wanted it. I can get on a computer or my phone and grab a preorder, but I can't leave work and wait in line at a store every morning hoping that's the morning amiibos come in... I couldn't do that even if I KNEW they were going to be there that morning.
 
Ok.. so i have been at PAX East for a weekend.. What did i miss?!

Anyone care to get me up to speed? Pre-orders? I head something about Splatoon Amiibos?!

Also.. Splatoon.. OMG. The hype is real guys.. GUYS GUYS!!! Splatoon.

So good.
 
I have an order for 2 Gold Marios with Wal Mart USA

I am in Canada, used a border store address to ship it (not a forwarding service, you just use their address and your name), and PayPal to buy it (it charged immediately via PayPal).

It appears still as processing on the Wal Mart website, and PayPal has no activity of a refund or anything.

Looks good here!

Hopefully this is the only round of cancellations....

(I know there have been cancellations for multiple orders before, but this seems to be the first round of cancellations that are not due to multiple orders)
 
After a few months of waiting my Neogaf account was finally approved! Ive been following the Amiibo Gaf threads from the beginning and wishing I could reply and, well, here I am. So nice to finally be a part of the AmiiboGaf community instead of an awkward lurker randomly tweeting replies on Twitter (ok I only made one Twitter reply but shhh!)

I'm making it a point to only collect Female Amiibos, Pokemon Amiibos and the Kid Icarus series ones. And Ive been very fortunate to have everything up to this point. Hopefully I can continue the trend into Wave 4 but we'll see! Anyways, once again, it's so nice to finally be here instead of lurking and I look forward to getting to know everyone :3

Same here, but I'd just walk away from collecting them rather than falling back on scalpers. It's just not worth it at that point.
 
Yeah and threatening people is a really great way to show remorse.

Someone really needs to get this loser laid.
And for good measure, make sure it's by some bat-shit crazy girl who's as much of a sociopath as he clearly is.

I know you guys wanna vent, but we need to stop giving that bi-polar and autistic fuck the attention he wants.

Moving on.

Still no word on Silver Mario?

Seriously? Just leave it at attention-seeker. No need to project mental disabilities onto him in a hateful way.

EDIT: I edited my quote since it appears the member was banned for saying that. No sense keeping it in multiple posts.
 
First/Second waves look to be fine, you can check your status on the website.

edit. stop quoting or responding to that guy, you're just giving him the attention that he craves.

My girlfriend got a cancellation on her account at 9:34. She only ordered one but it was during the second/third wave. I still have mine intact for the first wave.

Does your girl live with you? I'm wondering if the cancellations are triggered by location as the reddit also had a couple were one of the partners got theirs canceled.

Welcome!! :D So cool to see new people joining the amiibo-gaf threads so we can suffer and rage together while trying to collect them hah

Remember, Horizon is #1.
 
Hello everyone. Man, things seem so different here lately, can't quite put my finger on it. So tied up in the Line chat that I barely post here anymore, but I can't neglect the thread that started things for me. Welcome to all new members too!

I reeeeaally hope we don't get waves of Gold Mario cancellations. If we have to set foot into a Walmart to get one, I fear for all of our safety!

Also, any chance we can just not ever discuss "that person" anymore? It adds nothing to the discussion and it only serves to feed attention he desires and enrage us. I say we should drop the subject entirely, and that's that.

Also, Update: for those of you who don't know, I'm getting 7 Mega Mans custom repainted by Saludos Amiibos, and he's had them for a week now. No pics yet, but I expect to see some soon, with a possible ETA for the completed project. Can't wait to show all of you! It's gonna be glorious!

Soon...very soon!
 
I KNEW IT WAS AIR MAN! D:<

My friend who is big into Mega Man tried telling me it was Ice Man's colors. I nicknamed my Mega Man amiibo "ice Man"

That punk
Haha, he looks darker blue in the official art, but in-game, he's actually light blue.

He has a few "light blue" weapons that are easily believable as that color, like Ice Slasher, Gemini Laser, Skull Barrier, etc, but I feel it has to be Air Shooter because it's one of his main weapons in Smash, Up Air. So it makes sense and fits the theme of all his alt Robot Master power outfits being weapons he uses by default in Smash.

Thank you thank you! :3 Haha Ive already called 2 days off of work already for thse things (one for Lucario and one for Pit iirc) So I'm in too deep. ;__;

Remember, Horizon is #1.

Always and forever O__O iirc Weren't you like the #1 poster on Thread 2? Or was it 3? Sorry a bit sleep deprived this morning!

I think more would have died if they where made available ONLY at PAX East :P

Awwww that would've been so bad QQ I already lamented not being able to go and see Markiplier and his rag-tag band of friends and hang out with my friends in that area. Then again, saving up money to move takes a higher priority than a con. Plus I'm already roped into AA for a con next month so money is going into that too.

Haha nah, I don't think I ever was the top poster or even close lol

I got banned repeatedly since the amiibos threads first started as well.

Smash threads on the other hand I used to post way too much in.
 
That guy that got banned doesn't seem like he deserves to be reinstated as a user.
Idc if he buys up a thousand amiibo, that's not the way you get what you want.

I'll get the amiibo I want somehow and someway without his "charity"

That was...interesting to say the least. >.<

Annnnnddd they're gone!. Thank goodness I dont care about Gold Mario-but if they made Pink Metal Peach I'd be breaking my F5 button at work.
 
I cant believe i've missed gold mario pre orders a total of 5 times. 3/5 i got through the entire checkout process only to be told they were sold out too. So ridiculous.
 
Man amiibo news has been sooooo slow!
We need info on wave 4 preorders before people lose interest!

Hehe right...

Don't feel too bad, this thing was sold out in minutes, it can't really be helped. I actually missed out on a MP10 bundle with Gold Mario because I was at the Place Order screen, but stopped to post here first and call a friend about it. Went to place, and it was SOLD OUT.

I really hope some folks here got it. Thanks to Akim for posting the Alert in Line.

Edit:
Whoops, double post. Sorry 'bout that
