An article (in Spanish) with some modified Amiibos, some of them are really well made:

These three are my favorite. They better make a yarn yoshi Amiibo in the future.

that's a pretty great dhalsim custom there.

Looks like Pit/Little Mac dream is dead. They are probably long gone. Never actually even saw one in a store.
 
I'm getting worried! Dedede, Sonic, Shulk, Meta Knight and Mega Man are still not available for pre-order in Germany. Some wiki states that they are part of Wave 4 in Europe. But I can't find any confirmation.

Since i'm so hyped and overexcited about the Amiibos my GF took her turn this morning. The following is NSFW:

I told her that i'm getting nervous about Dedede, Shulk etc. And she knows that I'm happy that I got the Ambassador mail from Nintendo regarding the New 3DS and that only a few people received this invitiation.
She responded: "Maybe they are doing a kind of raffle with these Amiibos, too. Too bad you got the Ambassador invitation already. Chances are low you get invited soon again." And she was laughing at me seeing my poor face. Relationships can be so hard!
... What was the nsfw part? Anyways I got shulk and DDD in the bag if GameStop don't cancel on me

Thanks! My Dan custom was originally Dhalsim, but believe it or not, Crono here was originally Chun Li haha

I do plan on making a fire Mario, metal Mario, dark link, and daisy customs.... Someday when I have the time. Who else should I do that's not too difficult? I'm not THAT skilled, like some of those people who use clay and yarn. Wow.

Edit: I'd love to try the Kirby hats, maybe I'll do some mega man colors, red or blue toon link, double cannon Samus, and black or blue Yoshi.
 
I got my Marth from 99gamers yesterday! The seller also had a new US Villager, so I got that one too. My wave 1 and wave 2 collections are finally complete!

I can confirm this is true based on UK dates.
Same for France, it was even on the official Nintendo website (you should check the .de one) There was even an official date for Wave 4 (20th febr. IIRC)

Information regarding tier lists here:
Tiers depends much on the location, though.

I've seen dozens of Marth over the last two months... the last one yesterday. It's not common, but I found Kirby, for example, to be far rarer (I've hunted amiibos a lot, and I've only seen ONE Kirby, at launch day. Same for Little Mac)
 
I've seen 99gamers mentioned a few times in this thread, but I've never heard of or used them before. Is it like an ebay for gamers?
 
Got myself a Marth from TRU (UK). I'm really happy with the Marth as well, no bent sword nor is his face terrible.

Some pictures (apologies for the quality, had to use my crummy phone camera and it wasn't easy to get a good close up of his face):

And here's the trio I have so far:

Was marth and villager restocked in the US? I know UK got more but what about the US? My bro really wants marth but not enough to pay more than the 14.14 that amiibos cost in NYC.
 
I don't understand why you wouldn't keep the trinity sealed. It's a guaranteed collectors item at this point and they aren't that useful in game.

So awesome. I had that idea for Mac since that's how I play him in Sm4sh but admittedly, that one is pretty rough.

Wait what?
Marth has been top tier since Melee
Villager is the rising tier character

Wii Fit Trainer...well OK, she's the only meh female.
 
Me and my friend traded Christmas gifts a bit late today and we both got each other Amiibos so I ended up with Fox McCloud and I gave him a Luigi :D

I have to say, in terms of detail I think Fox is one of the better Amiibos of the bunch. Some of the "human" figures like Link, Zelda and other similar ones seem to sacrifice a bit of quality due to their size and the printing of their eyes is a bit all over the place. One Link figure might look like he's taken from Goofy, another might look very anime-esque and with luck one of them will have an expression that looks more similar to his artwork.

Overall they are all good figures, but in terms of value/pose/detail I think Fox is one of the better figures. Luigi is also very solid. I don't think he could be significantly improved, just really solid and really good overall.
 
I'm glad to know these are out in the wild, maybe it will mean no delays since they are obviously in production in some capacity.

I'm still not very happy with Ike, the face is all wrong and so is the slim down, but whatever, it's fine for what it is.

I think the toon link looks pretty good though.
 
Ike doesn't look to shabby, and Toon Link looks great.
Wave 3 is among us and I'm still trying to find a Captain Falcon. (I might just pay the $30 for him, but I feel like I should wait until Nintendo addresses what's going on with their stock.)
 
Toon Link is definitely on my to-buy list, still on the fence about regular Link. Most of the figures I've seen so far have questionable or odd quality in the eyes.
 
Just a big old FYI here, this case is advertised in a lot of recommendation guides / blogs for holding your Amiibo. I wasn't familiar with T Case as Amiibo is the first figurine / toy i've ever collected.

Someone posted that you would be able to comfortably fit 18ish Amiibos in the T Case Stage (available on Amazon, just search for it). This is an outright lie/fabrication or just them misunderstanding the sizing of the case.

I don't think this is a good case for most of the posters here. (You might see this post nearly identical on another Amiibo forum, just getting the word out)

Pros:
The case looks beautiful and doesn't seem to have noticeable imperfections. Plastic/Material has a glossy finish which grips onto the Amiibos. The stage works as a nicer alternative to a spice-rack even without the cover. Cover snaps into the bottom of the case if you want it to lock.

Cons.
The Cover is really low. I can't fit 2/3rds of my Amiibo collection on the top shelf, and the tallest ones like Pit and WFT will not fit on even the second tier. The tops of these cases also clip into the bottom half using two snap in tabs. There is no way for me to get the lid off of this without precariously lifting it up and pushing pretty hard on these tabs. This is only a con for people like me who weren't familiar with T-Case and might be thinking the case could just be lifted on and off. I'll probably break the tabs or just run without them.

Here are some pictures so you can decide if you need to cancel your Amazon orders / want to pick one up / go with some other alternative.

Amiibros,

I'm worried about the Marth I ordered from Amazon.co.uk. Today is the last day in the range of dates I was given expect to receive this. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Also, my Pit arrived from the TRU cancellation/reinstation fiasco and the paint job is pretty poor. Paint chipping on the knees, hands, and some smears on his clothes.

Don't have the answer, but I made you a custom avatar. :D

I'm surprised Nintendo hasn't made cases that look like the Trophy Boxes from SSB Wii U. I can see it now, having specialized ones for different franchises. One for all 5 Zelda characters, then Fire Emblem, Pokemon, etc.

& the amiibo edit on my avatar looks okay, right? Seems a bit small, but it was the best I could work with.
 
Sure. BTW thanks for the PM. I'll get back to you later. Really kind words, thanks for the support. *hugs*

BTW....you want me to use the same pic ur using now?

No problem. Let me know if you need anything.

And no, I think my avatar is a little too PG for amiibo. Do you think you could do a shot of Bryan Cranston as Walter White in Breaking Bad? Sorry for being picky! Whatever photo would work best, you think.
 
Ohhhhh shit it's happening!

What's the story? A journalist got them or someone had their order come early?

This is EU?
Easiest way to tell if they're EU is if they have the numbers on the top right of the packaging. That being said, Ike look wank.

I see this being an item on Club Nintendo.

........wait




Did you draw frowning eyebrows on your Kirby?
 
Should I return my extra Diddy in exchange for an amiibo I don't own yet? I was planning on trading it for a Lucario I wouldn't be able to get. Don't care for Rosalina. Diddys seem uncommon.

I'm interested in this case, I think it looks great. Will probably get it. What's the name and price?

Edit: Never mind, I'm blind lol.
