I should pick up kirby soon then. Get it before its extinction event. Haven't gone hunting in Toronto for the last couple of weeks. Didn't know Samus already reached that state. Wow.

Kirby is just uncommon. Link is regionally rare but I think stores got restock on him.

Fox and Samus seem rare now and Future shop and Best Buy sites don't list them now.
 
Found a really nice looking mock-up. Why this can't be real? Apologies if it's old.

How will we get a boost of money if we paid via Paypal?
Click to expand...

Poor wording on my part. If you paid by Paypal it charged you immediately rather than when the items ship. So where as those who went through checkout will never see the money in their account drop, we already did. A cancellation implies money back, hence "boost".

I should really re-read my posts before posting them. Sorry.
 
Oh lol, I've just checked my preorders and found that I accidentally ordered Rosalina twice. Oops. I might head to EB Games next time I'm in the city and cancel one of them (judging by the fact that she and Bowser have been the only ones available to preorder for quite some time, she's one of the more common ones in Australia).

I think it's getting a bit out of hand when I can't even keep track of which ones I've ordered from which store. >_< Gah. I need to save my money.

I was so confused for a second...then I saw Australia and it all clicked
 
CF just arrived in the mail yesterday! Now I'm only missing Villager, Pit, Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi. I figure the last three will be around for a while, and Azula is gonna hook me up with Villager, so now I just need to find Pit! :)

Also, @Azula: check your PMs! ;)
 
For anyone who got amiibos from Amazon.de, is the packaging really different? The product pictures show at least the front being in English for the amiibos.

It's all in English. I got Marth and Villager from there- no damage to the box or anything.

Worked great!
Click to expand...

Aah, sweet. I got a Villager there too and I wasn't sure if it would say "Villager" on the front or something like "Bewohner." I got Marth and WFT from there as well, and I'm tempted to get a Fox now too.
 
Just purchased Pikachu and Yoshi. And with that, wave 1 and 2 are complete.

And I will never complete wave 3 because I don't have Rosalina and Lucario pre-ordered :(

There's a story floating around on GAF about some guy who preordered 100 Rosalinas, ask him to sell you one!

I'm sorry. I understand your frustration since I really want a Shulk =[

Marth, Villager, and Wii Fit Trainer
 
Spades said:
Anyone in the UK looking for Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Kirby or Marth still?

Toys R Us have stock in some stores to reserve and collect. Just managed to reserve a WFT in a store not too far away from me!

Villager: http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Toys-R-Us/...intendo-amiibo-Smash-Villager-Figure(0144351)

WFT: http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Toys-R-Us/...-amiibo-Smash-Wii-Fit-Trainer-Figure(0144350)

Cheers for the tip, a local one had 1 Villager left and quickly reserved it, picked it up and thought I'd might as well see what else they got since I'm here and there was 1 Wii fit trainer hiding in a bunch of Fox's

So finally have the big 3

My sealed collection so far, i don't think the bottom 3 are that rare in the UK

I open the characters I've always liked so Villager didn't stay sealed for long

Now just need Little Mac :(

Currently living in Japan, and a bunch of my friends back in Canada asked me to buy them a bunch of amiibos. I feel so dirty.

Pit and Villager are stupid rare here, though we might get a re-print.
I found Captain Falcon used in a hobby shop for 800 yen ($8 CDN/$7 USD)

Pretty steep for me :(

Yeah, it's not worth it as much unless you get a big order or a bunch of amiibos that are overpriced here which is why I'm debating getting just a Fox right now. I got the Holy Trinity for $60 instead of like $150 though, so that was definitely worth it.

Can confirm, can't find Villager anywhere. Do you know of any retail stores or sites I can check stock online?
 
esmith08734 said:
Agreed with the last part. I honestly checked out of amiibo after how hard they became to find. Azula's story and passion ignited something in me that made me want to keep going with this. I really appreciate his sincerity in all of this. He's always willing to help, too.
Click to expand...
Yeah same.

It holds about 9 box's in each shelf. There are 4 shelves, so 32 total. Here is a pic:

As you can see, you would have to stack them one behind the other.

Here is a pic of the bottom (I'm using it for my anime blu ray).

Anyways, super shit quality. I'll try to take zoomed out pics sooon when I have all the Amiibos out and in the case. I just took these really quick to give you an idea. I'll try to take more pics tomorrow when there is good lighting too. I do need to get some lighting for the case itself, so that's next up on my agenda.

Nice stand. The only problem with buying display stand/cases now is, what do you do once Wave 3 is released.

I need WFT and Villager, but I'm just tempted to find a good Marth...I think I shouldn't pursue it.

Anyways I can't really afford to buy anything else yet I think, sadly.
 
iamaustrian said:
but that only apllies to the US, right?

the rarest(I've only seen one so far which I bought then) here is/was(?) Little Mac by far.
Click to expand...

Yeah, just the US. I saw a few Marths at the local Game a couple of weeks back. Still not widely available, and you'll need to pay a premium online, but not as crazy as in the US.

On the other hand, I've never seen a Mac on store shelves, and he's the most expensive on Amazon (£50 atm).

I think he's getting there in the US too though, if not already up there, with the original The Three Amiigos.

I hate that it will be. I need that Ness figure. I've Cosplayed as Ness like 12 years ago, it's in my blood damnit!

My history with the Earthbound series is weird, to say the least. A friend at the time (who's family had immigrated from Japan to Canada) had introduced me to the series with the NES/Famicom Mother 1. I didn't play Earthbound or Mother 3 until recently (when it was re-released on the Wii U Virtual Console & emulation from the Starman fansite), & despite those games being superior in every shape & form, I have a greater emotional attachment to that game than I did with the others. I still cry like a baby when I listen to "Eight Melodies", so you can imagine how I had responded when this remix of "Magicant/Eight Melodies" had popped up on the Earthbound stage on SSB3DS.

Anyway, for all those scalpers out there, all I ask is that you bunch don't act like a bag of dicks and be considerate to others.

Actually, it IS written "bewohner", "villageois" and so on on the box. The word written in large font is indeed Villager (like in Japan I think), but it's translated in 6 or 7 european langagues on the top-right (on the others, there's usually a single name). It's small, though.

I posted a picture in the topic, but it's kinda buried, now...

Who the hell is b&h and why do people trust they have amiibo? When did ordering backorders become a thing? I wouldnt trust that site getting me amiibo if my life dependent on it
 
Lol I was so tired I ripped open my Yoshi Amiibo, didn't cut it properly like I usually do.

Haven't opened any since 2 weeks ago. It's nice to have something greener than Link in my current opened collection anyways.

They had no limit so people were trying to put orders through for like 10 each of all the rare ones lol. Even if they have any they were probably gone in the first handful of orders.
