If Lucina and Robin dont get a downgrade like Ike did, then they ended up looking fine, can't really complain will get both, Ness and Pacman look amazing as expected, day 1. Wario looks kinda cheap and Charizard just looks plain bad :/

No interest in the Super Mario line, especially because if that red base >_>
 
Oh, man, I think the amiibo game is really shooting up in terms of figurine quality -- all of Wave 4 and the Super Mario lineup look fantastic to me. I'm only interested in Ness, but all the figures look great. The Fire Emblem crew has especially benefited; they look leagues better than Marth (as a side note, I'm almost glad I haven't gotten into Fire Emblem yet; it's inevitable that I will, but for now I can avoid pulling my hair out over FE amiibo since I'm not attached to the characters).
 
Gotta say those Mario Party amiibo are looking quite lame imho. Where is Dry Bones Nintendo!? Buncha dupes.

I guess we may need duplicate charaters in order to save game data for each game. Can you temp save amiibo data to a console and transfer to the figure as needed when changing games?
 
I'm definitely preordering Lucina and Robin the second they go up. I'm on the fence about Ness. I don't really care but kinda want him just because I know he will be impossible to find later.
 
Has anyone gotten any updates lately about the $10.99 amiibos that TRU offered when our initial orders were cancelled? I got an email almost two weeks ago that Pit was delayed, but haven't heard anything since. I would just cancel it since I found one at Gamestop, but there's a Lucario on that order too... and it doesn't look like I can only cancel Pit.

Sorry for the delay. Your avatar was actually tricky due to the picture's size. Basically, your original avatar is very compressed and has artifacts. Not only is the picture low quality, but it didn't fit the boards avatar ratio. So the first 2 Avatar's I made you are a higher definition version of your picture but fitting the 100x120 board ratio.

The next two are the new high definition picture, but not cropped to fit the 100x120 ratio. It won't fill out the avatar section all the way. But it's also under the 100x120 so it shouldn't compress and artifact like before (it only does that, if one of the dimensions is OVER the boards limits).

Finally, here is your original avatar:

I don't really care which one you use. I won't take offense either way. It only took me 20 min of messing around. Hope you like one of them at least. Have a good night!
 
About those Mario Party amiibo...

Will the Smash ones be compatible for the same characters? I hope so... :/

EDIT: Forget it, saw this on IGN.

Mario Party 10 works with nine different amiibo including Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Bowser, Toad, Rosalina & Luma, Wario, and Donkey Kong. Players can use any of these corresponding amiibo from the Smash Bros. series with Mario Party 10. However, Nintendo warns that players must first erase the data from Smash Wii U, 3DS in order to use them.

Sounds fair, I don't mind since I'm not using them for Smash.
 
people, please start saying where you are from for those of us who are new to the amiibo thread

picnic

Hah, yeah. I'm 99% sure everyone saying that, are saying EB Games Australia. I think Aus is the only place that put them up today for pre-order.
 
I'm kinda pumped for more Super Mario line figures and I don't think i'm even gonna get mario party 10. Can't wait for the eventually daisy amiibo and hopefully we get additional side characters like Magikoopa, Shy Guy, and Nabbit in future waves.
 
EB Games Australia. No other region has them up yet. EB Games went early today for some reason.


I was worried that I was late!

Whose everyone gonna preorder with? I feel BB isn't reliable enough, even with the GCU discount. GameStop seems like a safe bet, even though I hate giving them money lol

Thank you for taking the time to do it! I went with the last one, but only because I like the frame! I might change it to 3 or 4 at some point.
 
Ness and Pac-Man ... No doubt I'm picking up both of this. Sonic and Mega Man in February. Debating on Toon Link, Lucario, Dedede, and Meta Knight. That Mario Party set ... awww man, they all look awesome.
 
I wonder if each time a game is released where it has to write onto the amiibo itself instead of read-only, Nintendo will do a new line of amiibo for said game/franchise. Mario Party 10 is the 2nd game that writes data onto the amiibo and we got a new line featuring characters from it.

Though I wonder how some parents will react when kids see the new Mario/Peach/Luigi/whoever & ask "But you already have that one, what makes this one different?". Guess if they knew, they could explain one could keep SSB data, while the other keeps MP10 data.
 
Well I get up at 530 am EST to get ready. Guess I will bring my laptop to class in case preorders come up.

Also I said I would only do the Smash line as a complete collection and then just pick up figures I like from the other series. I was worried I would cave as soon as a new lineup was announced. Fortunately, I was correct about that strategy and I will only be grabbing Toad from the new one. Wish they could have substituted Daisy in there and maybe went with Fire Suit Mario. Oh well just saved me money in the long run.

My 4 Amiibros should have got there Pits and Falcons today in the mail. Hope they made it safe and sound!
 
I was considering getting two of Lucina, but then decided the extra money would be better spent on the Figma.

Man I'd love to get her Figma, but that's a slippery slope I don't want to start going down.

If I'm still interested in the whole figure thing after amiibo I'll probably pick it up then. So long as the price stays the same, anyways...

Figma prices go up over time, don't they? :X
 
I plan on buying two of Ness. And if R.O.B. ever comes out I'm getting a few of those. I want to paint one up in Famicom colors.
For me, it's gonna be:
Lucina
Robin
Ness
Mega Man
Samus
Fox
Falco
Zero Suit Samus
Shulk

I ordered one of those myself. You can never have enough of Lucina.
I'm getting her too, fellas. :D

When you really think about it, it's kind of messed up. They should be able to handle more than one game! We'll buy them either way, if you're worried about that. What do they have, 256KBs of storage?!?!
 
So will stores update at East Coast time in the US? 2amCST or will they update mid day tomorrow?
aka how late do I need to stay up again.... so many sleepless nights over Rosalina to not be able to secure one :(

The Mario characters from both sets aren't game specific, its just that they can only store data for 1 game at a time. Wouldn't be surprised to see Smash Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, and Bowser get phased out shortly after the new line's release to avoid confusion.

Unrelated, but Smash only has 13 more characters left assuming Miis and variants aren't happening. (14 with Mewtwo) I wonder if we will see them arrive in one wave or two. Assuming they come all at once, I can imagine some would be retailer exclusive.

Most NFC chip capacities are measured in Bytes. Maybe a few Kilobyes max.
