This is so true it hurts...

Yeah nintendo, see what NO wave 4 info gives us? It is making us all conflict with each other.

Went to lunch and happened to walk into a Game Stop at just the right time - they were stocking Amiibo's and I snagged these:

Congrats! I hope the other "rares" become more common but yeah, NoA. Please understand.

Sighhhhhh ;___; I went amiibo hunting ALL DAY yesterday looking for Sonic and I found nothing so you just win the day with Sonic, plus Mega Man and Toon Link.
 
From the looks of that CPSIA, I wonder if Nintendo has gotten wise to our data mining and from now on will call all of its CPSIAs "amiibo" generically. We'll never know what's coming down the pike or getting reprinted, as if we could get any less information...
 
The split for the communities had to happen. There was so much retailer confusion amongst all nations, that it had to be done.
 
Oh hey look a post actually relevant to the topic of this thread. Nice pick ups man! I just got my sonic today from tru. Feels good!

I have missed out on Sonic so many times in the last few weeks by "just missed him". Finally caught him. As soon as I picked him up and started walking to the counter, woman and her kids came in the store and bought the other one which was also the last one.
 
Also, welcome Kalyst! Get yourself an avatar, won't you? Better than a blank space!

>:C


Also, line group is exclusively for chumps.
Also people with smartfones

Swear to glob people, this is the first time in a while I've woken up to there being this many new pages. Thought for sure preorders went up.
 
that feel i missed gold mario again.
I'm like 5/5 now of missing it.

I was trying to get the dang thing on my phone, but by the time i got it to switch over to regular site, it was already gone. It looked to me like it was only allowing one per person, since i had 2 that i wanted and saved for when they pop back up.

ugghhh... no offense to anyone who wants these things to be rare, but I'm really REALLY hoping they're gonna be disgustingly common like the one Skylander exclusive.

I made the first preoder. WalMart cancelled it. Made the second preorder later that day, wal mart ended up canceling that too just a few days ago. Then preorders again this morning, too slow to checkout. I'm too lazy to post it but "f it meme.gif" and f u wal mart.

I'm so happy I don't have the same urge anything from the super Mario series.
 
Oh damn... A Generic Mii Amiibo that will store your Mii Fighter, to allow your Mii amiibo to train... AND to transfer your Mii fighter to other systems.

Sounds like a virus...

I for one welcome a virtual me that can be transferred to other systems for battle.

But really, if I could order a MiiAmiibo, that would be amazing!

Sunday is the worst day to look, unless it's in a store's ad. Shipments come Monday - Friday (and Saturday in many locations). Looking Sunday means everything has already been on the shelf for at least a day.
 
The split for the communities had to happen. There was so much retailer confusion amongst all nations, that it had to be done.

I agree with this.

As for LINE, I don't really care.

I disagree actually. Saying retailer confusion amongst all nations doesn't explain why it "had to happen."

The reason why it happened according to the members who left was because this thread was dominated by too many US posts and people posting about found Amiibo without saying where they're from. It's no ones fault if people posting were mostly from the US and splitting off into different regions and countries was and is redundant. And I disliked when people from any country posted their finds without also posting their locations, and it urked me when we all had to waste a post by asking where all the time. All countries were guilty of doing this, not just people from the US.

Just getting in on the amiibo game for one little guy. Is ness up for sale or what?

US? Orrrrrrrr?? If it's US, I wish he was. But then if he were up for sale, he would already be gone.

If it's Europe, he was up at a few different places but sold out. NZ, Austrailia, and Amazon Japan, same thing.
 
So me getting him is just luck at this point right?



Also what's news about that One Piece X Amiibo thing? I wouldn't mind importing that

Seriously, where are you located? I guess it doesn't truly matter for Ness because at this point he seems to be headed for "must be lucky to get him" status. But still, if you're in a country with brick and mortar stores with good stock, you might have a chance.

Basically, scanning certain amiibo unlock costumes based on said amiibo for the different characters (Mario & Luigi for Luffy, Marth for Brooke, Wii Fit Trainer for Nami, Link for Zoro, Fox for Sanji, Samus for Robin, Kirby for Chopper, Yoshi for Usopp, & DK for Franky).

They weren't actual amiibos?

Thanks for clearing it up
 
This cute clerk at my local electronics shop started asking and nagging me over amiibos because I went there a few times (bought all the commons I was missing). I like her, but now I have nothing left to buy, what to do GAF? (Don't send me to OT please)

In other news, 27/29 now. Waiting for Mac and Rosie in the mail. Started collecting 3 weeks ago. XD

Ask her out on a date.

Get her a Princess Peach amiibo, and have a post-it note on it saying "Lunch?" ;)

Is she single? I would try to find out very subtly through idle talking, amiibo-related or otherwise. Don't want to come off too strong, as I'm sure she gets that day in and day out.

"I'll trade you an amiibo for a date"

Ask her out.

Say something classy like "You and Amiibo should go out on a date".

Ha ha ha, I'm a dork!

She wants the Dedede.
 
I hate to be dramatic but this community is dead. You can only divde it up so much before there is nothing left of it. I think the number one thing that split the community is fear and greed. I used to post in OT one and two all the time. The hype was real then but I noticed greed has taken over the amiibo communities ,both here and on reddit. Everyone is out for their selves with buying multiples to "trade" and are just buying up any amiibo they see out of fear. I saw soooo many pictures of people having two sonics shipped from target when sonic went up for a little bit.

This is just my opinion and I hope you really dont care, but I feel no desire to post on here or reddit anymore. It has nothing to do with wave 4 preorders and everything to do with fear, greed, and paranoia in buying amiibo. That is ultimately why the community has split. The user said it above earlier why they created line (whatever that is) to get rid of the "clutter" and just get info. Im sorry a community is clutter and we are getting in the way of you desperately needing an amiibo. Reddit s way worse but thats because it hasnt been split up with 4 Amiibo OT's and some line thing.
 
Another day in Amiibo Wave 4 pre-order waiting room hell. One day they will open, right? One day.........

In other news, I think I'll swing by Walmart next week & try my luck at getting a Gold Mario. I'm mostly curious to see the in-store stock they'll have locally.
 
If worse comes to worse, you're only out $10. Plus it's a clever way to ask a girl out, especially since she's into gaming.

I don't think she is into gaming, but she recognized Pikachu, so I might get her that instead of Peach. But you are right, it's not much more than a drink at a bar, so money is not they issue.

Like so many things in life, you just have to go for it, man. Give it a shot, you never know what could happen.

Wise words indeed!

She wants the Dedede.

lol [insert Little Mac joke]
 
Eeep! I'll be changing my avi after work some time if I'm not drowning up to my eyeballs on convention prep. Need to get me one of them amiibofied Avatars though :3

Also dying at the DeDeDe joke-nearly snorted water out my nose when I read that

Scofield plz

The Amiibo thread was crazy busy because new Amiibos were coming out every week for a solid month at half a dozen different retailers and preorders for the Super Mario line were going up at the same time. Nothing's happening on the Amiibo front right now so there's not much to talk about. Things will pick up a bit on March 20 and they'll pick up quite a bit when Wave 4 eventually releases, hopefully next month. It'll be OK.

AmiiboGAF just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about LINE (I'm an expert), but amiibo and friendship are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in the thread where you can become successful by posting about how bad LINE is. If you talk smack about LINE even though it's accepting and public, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is AmiiboGAF, after hearing about LINE, is not going to want to purchase amiibo for themselves nor others, nor will they purchase any of Nintendo's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but AmiiboGAF has alienated an entire community by separating.

AmiiboGAF, publicly apologize and cancel the LINE groups or you can kiss your community goodbye.

All the LINE group does is casual conversation; which 99% of the time has nothing to do with Amiibo at all.

Amiibo GAF has disbanded!

Anyway, this thread will pick back up when there is something to talk about, random restocks of uncommons aren't much to get excited about for most people. When wave 4 pre-orders hit things will go crazy again. Folks have to remember that GAF isn't about just posting for the sake of posting.
 
Well it's been fun guys! I guess that's that!
:P

Anyway, I was this close to getting Dedede but dumb employee went and sold it when she told me to my face that she was gonna hold it for me today if the person it belonged to didn't pick it up yesterday... and she sold it to someone who wasn't that person!
 
I can't believe people are freaking out about the Line groups. I was in the general chat one and it's just chitter chatter totally unrelated to Amiibo (or it was when I was logged in), I left because the alerts kept blowing up my phone, but it's really nothing to get worked up about at all.

Speaking of which, if you have room in the alert group for wave 4, if i can have an invite, that'd be great. I didn't initially join cause there's nothing I immediately want in 4, but who knows once they get released and the fever hits. Plus I was saving room for someone else since I thought space was limited to 100.
