Anyone else think the Super Mario lineup looks like total ass? They're bigger than the smash Amiibo for some reason, and look 100% more McDonaldsey to boot. Besides Toad I'm avoiding the happy meal lineup.

They're better poses not limited by smash trophies, but they're also more cartoony and less detailed.

I was only interested in toad, and I had to dig through shitty paint jobs. I just wonder if quality is taking a hit in their need to rush out more to meet demand.

Not Amiibo-related but my girlfriend got me this Peach figure today from a Dollar Store.

I cannot help but say "lewd".

Uhh has Peach ever been in that outfit lol.

 

[Lakerchick4life]

My Gold Mario is shipping from Walmart via UPS anyone else here arriving the same way? It shipped out yesterday can't wait to get it, says it arrives by Thursday from Indiana

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Just found a Fox at Bestbuy. Are these not rare anymore?

Found 7 Fox amiibo in my Best Buy!
I see them, but I still cant believe it.

EDIT: Decided to get one.

 

[Salamando]

She came close though.

 

[Scooter155]

People are seeing Fox out and about, huh? Bodes well for rumors of a restock. I got an in stock alert from Amazon but I missed them by a few minutes...

Also got my Toad today, all the SMB line was in stock, seem super easy to come by.

 

[Thoraxes]

Mine is FedEx from Indiana.

Gold Mario was supposed to come on Wednesday. Showed up today instead:

Trading a fellow GAF member for a Toad Amiibo.

Gees you're not the only person to say this. Makes me hopeful it will show up on Monday for me.

 

[Byron Bluth]

Wow Reddit is brutal. Scalping and hoarding talk is fine there apparently.

 

[Hero Prinny]

i should've gotten golden mario when i had multiple chances just to trade that bitch for like 3 amiibos. jesus, they're selling for a lot. easily could've gotten little mac, ike and someone else with gold mario.

 

[pete_clarf]

Gees you're not the only person to say this. Makes me hopeful it will show up on Monday for me.

On Wal-Mart's site, mine says it will be here Thursday, but if I track it, it says Tuesday.

As of this morning it still said March 25 delivery date. FedEx gave no indication it was even here when I received it.

 

[SaviourMK2]

congrats to the Gold Mario getters.

I'd congratulate myself too, but until Amazon.ca says "Shipped" I'm in denial

Mine did too, but it came today.

 

[Insane Dead]

Every time I buy one amiibo I feel like I need to get another, Ended up buying Mega Man and Toad. The toad was from gamestop and I guess the person cancelled their pre-order for it. It's sold out pretty much in my whole area.

I am kinda sad I missed out on Shulk though :/ He was the only one I really want

Pmed for my nephew because I'm a greedy old man who's keeping the one i got.

Saw an employee at Best Buy with a Fox as well.

[Maengun1]

I'm glad the Mario amiibos are out now only because we might finally get Wave 4 pre-orders. I don't have to work on Monday so I'm thinking about staying up all night Sunday to watch amazon lol.

If we don't get news in the next week, I may finally believe the 'no pre orders at all' rumors.

 

[rjinaz]

Why go against the tide?

It does tick people off there though, just like it does here.

Because I hate them! They are the enemy to Amiibo communities!

 

[Davey Cakes]

Holy shit. I went to the Nintendo World store today while I was still in New York for the weekend. There were, like, a million Mega Man and Sonic Amiibos.

Nothing else much of note really. Full stock of the more typical Smash and Mario lines. No Toad though. No exclusives or anything. It was interesting just to see walls of Amiibo regardless.

i wonder if this means anything for pac-man. 3rd party characters semi common?

 

[jadedm17]

I'd argue to say Nintendo is worse in that regard. It's a shady thing to do but I don't fault those that are working with the system.

Spoiler

Unless we're talking hoarders buying excessive amounts; Making a few bucks is one thing, hoarding an army is another. That's my line anyways, it differs person to person.

Wait... You're not trading the Gold Mario for the Toad, are you? You're just also trading for a Toad?

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

It's a straight up trade. Gold Mario for Toad.

I'm not looking to make a profit.

 

[fernoca]

Darn, I really want a Gold Mario (even if it's open) but only have Gamestop credit. No money until next week.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Still, Toad will be common as hell before too long. If I were you I would have just waited and keep the Gold Mario as an emergency back-up for future unicorns.

I'm not a collector. I only have a Samus Amiibo that I received as a gift. Happened to catch the Gold Mario pre-order at the right time. My intention was always to sell it to a GAF member at cost or trade for equal retail value.

I wish it was me! Someone else said they were willing to do a trade and has not got back to me yet. If this other person flakes out let me know please! Anyone else that can't find a toad just shoot me a PM and we can work something out.

 

[friskykillface]

reddit is alright, im trading a rosalina for a little mac on there :3

but there are a ton of low ball posters there haha, someone offered two commons for metaknight and someone offered bowser for shulk lol

 

[SparksterMeta0]

A TRU close by (La Mesa, CA ) has plenty of Toad amiibos! 11 in one spot.

I think that's pretty rad that you're doing that. I'm sure you got so many messages though haha.

 

[Kama_1082]

lucky day today! My cousin gave up on amiibos and sold me his rosalina, meta knight and little mac for retail. Fuck yer!!!!

 

[Maitiú]

i wonder if this means anything for pac-man. 3rd party characters semi common?

Pacman's really simple so they'll be able to squeeze more out very quickly/cheaply. Like with Sonic and Megaman, no one who wants one will be missing out.

 

[zroid]

HNNNNNNGH That Captain Toad custom amiibo!

 

[Maverick T51]

Apparently the SMB line comes out next week where I live, which means that I was only able to get the Mario amiibo that comes with the game...kinda bummed out by that one

 

[rjinaz]

Because I hate them! They are the enemy to Amiibo communities!

Well, I sell an amiibo now and then. And yet I also try to help people here with anything I come across. I'm probably the exception though when it comes to resellers. I have never and will never buy more than 2 of one amiibo though.

 

[bumpkin]

HNNNNNNGH That Captain Toad custom amiibo!

Whoa, who made that? I'd totally pay for one of those (or send them my off-the-shelf Toad to customize).

That's pretty cool! I think I still prefer the Toadsworth mod though.

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

HNNNNNNGH That Captain Toad custom amiibo!

Headlamp not big enough.

Pre-order cancelled.

 

[Skelter]

So who wants to trade?

Looking for Marth, Little Mac, Villager, WFT, or Captain Falcon. Selling them too if anyone really wants them.

 

[Bass260]

HNNNNNNGH That Captain Toad custom amiibo!

I need this! why could they not make Captain Toad amiibo too

Been wanting Rosalina, what's your price? <3

 

[rjinaz]

Same here but for Little Mac

 

[Shancake]

I'll ask again with no expectations. Is there anyone that is able to help an Australian out with a gold Mario amiibo?
