Has anyone ordered amiibo from Newegg? Do they have good packaging?
 
fucking disgusting. Never gonna get 'em because of people like that.
Meh. Since the trinity has been re-printed (Only Marf mentioned on the ND, but stock has been popping up of WFT and Villager too, at least here in sweden), what's stopping Nintendo from printing more of wave 2?
 
Yay!

1 amiibo left to go.
Peach.
 
Does newegg charge shipping?

Depends on the item sometimes sometimes not. They charge tax if there in your state too. I haven't bought an amiibo from them yet so idk though. If you look on there site the mario party bundle had free shipping the amiibos sold by newegg had 2.99 shipping... so...
 
Apparently I really under-estimated the amiibo thirst. Walked into Toys R Us and said they got 300 of Falcon and Pit (around 300 ea iirc) in the morning and were gone within an hour. I don't live in a big town either, just Metro Detroit. At this rate I will never see a Pit amiibo because of work.
Also according to the guy I was talking to in the store some dude called up and asked for 14 falcons.

Holy fuck 300!?

Most stores I read only got 5-6, a lot got none at all. 300 fuuuuck.
 
I think there is a fair chance Link is going to be replaced by Toon Link, since they function exactly the same.

And I have the same prediction for all Mario characters that are getting a new Amiibo, I can see at least Smash Peach been replaced by Party Peach.

Oh boy, if Peach becomes rare its going to be so hilarious.
 
So i have an extra falcon and pit and from the looks of it, i shouldve cancelled these orders. Scalpers make like what, 8-10 dollars after fees? Sounds like a lot more hassle than its worth.

Hopefully I can trade with someone down the line.

Yeah, better keep them as insurance for a figure you can´t find later on.

Also, I just checked amazon and Marth took a nose-dive in price, its going for around 30 bucks now, same as WFT, VIllager is still going strong for around 55 base. Maybe the fear of the restock is making scalpers panic?

add yourself to the google DOC for future reference man.

now is our time to STRIKE!
 
I don't think she got the most supply. I think she sold the least.

Yeah this is probably it. I don't want to start a debate but in reality when it comes to kids, boys are more likely to be playing a beat em up fighting Nintendo game. Not many of those boys are going to be excited about picking up Peach.

Ironically my 12 year old nephew DID want Peach. But what's funny is both my Mother and my Sister thought I had made a mistake when I bought it for him.
 
Preordered Bowser...I'm part of the problem.
 
So, today while I was waiting outside Toys R Us to open, there was a line of about 5 other guys and me waiting. We all started to talk about amiibos and, in specific, the Super Mario line.

The consensus seems to be that everyone will just buy Toad of the announced, and if released, Waluigi and Daisy. So pretty much every character who is not featured in Super Smash Bros.

So this got me thinking, Are you guys and gals planning on buying the Super Mario line?

I will get all of them. I think where I'm going to draw the line (if I'm able) is if they have a HUGE line of like Pokemon or Animal Crossing.

Anyone know if you can preorder any of the wave 4 amiibos yet in NZ? I'm checking out the EB Games website but they're all saying "Coming Soon" and Mightyape.co.nz hasn't listed any yet.

I only have Marth and Zelda physically so far (not opening them till my Pit/s arrive) but:

I have 1 Pit ordered from Game.co.uk a week ago that still hasn't arrived
I'm being too paranoid but I ordered another Pit from Grooves-inc.de from a reddit topic.
Anyone else bought from them? Or know about their reliability? I used Paypal so hopefully I can get my money back if they're broken or a scam...

Have Shulk, Ike, Megaman and Sonic preordered at my local EB Games while I have Bowser and Sheik preordered at AmiAmi.

Oh God I need help
 
Patiently waiting for the new amiibos and the Captain Toad bundle to go online in the UK. I'll probably still go into stores for the individual amiibo just so I can get the best looking ones (I think the Toys R Us staff are judging me now), but I might preorder them just to make sure I have them before stocks go.

I wish Nintendo were more forthcoming regarding stock on these things, they can't be printing just one run of each set surely, but their silence means demand is created and it's so annoying that I'm falling for their plan.

I'm really amivalent now as to which Bowser amiibo I want. No point getting both really is there.

I'm interested in your Pit
 
If anyone is interested just PM me and ill let you know what im looking for. I sent a few PMs already, but lets not bury the thread with offers for my extras lol.

Also - how do I add myself to the google doc?
 
Hmmm, I wonder if the Fox amiibo could see a reprint soon with Ace Combat being able to use it. Though I guess Nintendo might also wait for Star Fox U & make a new Fox one with the crew and perhaps an Arwing.

Edit: Now I'm kind of surprised Nintendo hasn't updated Steel Diver with amiibo support for skins for the subs.
 
It would be nice if I could just pay a subscription fee directly to Nintendo to have Amiibo's delivered weekly or bi-weekly to my doorstep.
