anyone with multiple shulks preordered at gamestop, can you check on the mobile app and see how many it says you have preordered? my app says one but i am supposed to have 3.
 
I wonder if the Super Mario series means the Smash Bros. Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, and Bowser figured will get discontinued. Doesn't make sense for Nintendo to split their shelf space between two sets of functionality identical figures.

That is why I went out and bought them all today. Figured they would not be around after March 20th.

Seeing as Smash Bowser is coming soon, I'm not too sure about that.
 
Is anyone only getting one Bowser now, and which?

I kinda dislike the red bases but the MP Bowser looks more 'classic', I might get superrr OCD about the bases though.

They both look great, tempted to double dip but I'm not a huge Bowser fan and have the large Jakks figure already. I'm most likely going to stick with the Smash one, will decide when I get him in-hand.

I cancelled my Smash Bowser pre order since I prefer the MP version, dont want 2, also wanted another amiibo with the red base because I'm getting Toad and if it was only him among the rest it would annoy me.

Don't want 2 versions of Mario, Peach, Yoshi and Luigi which is a shame because MP Luigi is much nicer than Smash version but that's what I get for being too impatient I guess :)

I'm double dipping Peach for sure! Haha.

Just not sure about Bowser.
 
Yeah they are but its just something I like more about those. Kinda prefer the solid "bland" poses to previous figures' as well.

Now I kinda want a Link in a regular pose as well.

Probably since every figure won't need extra chunks of plastic to hold their pose up and they'd look great from every angle.
 
I actually prefer their Smash variants, they're a bit more detailed.
Yep. Me too. The SMB versions look like they should be a little cheaper. Like $10 or something. The denim isn't even textured. They do seem more traditional and have an "old school" vibe which is cool, I guess.
 
Hello fellow amiibros and amiigals, I have purchased the Disney Infinity Figure Display Cases as a test to see if our amiibo fit inside the display.

But first thing's first, I finally uploaded an avatar for myself and added the "amiibo" symbols, too (respect my MS Paint skills) and now I feel like I belong.
Now back to my review of sorts:

So here's the case in all its glory. Nothing inside yet.

However, when an amiibo is placed, its base doesn't particularly fit as it falls through this opening (Infinity's bases are larger and therefore fit like a glove)

But I found a bit of a workaround (a cut piece of promo credit card garbage)

And now my Captain fits without falling through and as for the plastic covering-

Fits on top and, if you don't mind the "Disney Infinity" logo on top, is ready for display on your desk or whatever.

A side note: Cptn. Falcon is one of the taller amiibo which is why I used him for this presentation. However, Pit, being the tallest, doesn't fit in this display at all.
 
Good Morning Amiibros! Who is ready to seize the day! Let's find those NA preorders and work together. I brought my laptop to class today so I should be good as long as they don't sell out within an hour. I want the deliver to home Best Buy option with my GCU. Updates and rumors welcome. I will keep checking the other Amiibo sites too.

Good luck my man! Sounds like we have the same game plan today... I'm going to do my work stuff on one laptop and be on Amiibo patrol with another one, so hopefully we can all make this happen :-)
 
Villager and Marth on Nintendo UK store or my page glitching?

Edit: WFT appeared as well, looks like there may have been a restock.

Boom! That's me nabbed Villager then :-D My run of not paying more than £15 per figure is still going - paid ~£10 for everything but Marth, which cost £15 - but I suspect Rosalina/Shulk/Meta Knight (my only outstanding White Whales) may test that...

Thanks for the heads-up!
 
Good thing I pre-ordered Shulk.

Yup, missed out on that chance. I'm going to hold tight until February/March, but if there's no sign of it for what I've paid for everything so far by then, I'll maybe grab one of the ones I've seen going for £20-30 just to fill the damn hole in my collection :-)
 
Ha, I hear ya!
I've bought a lot of the Nintendo figures that have released in Japan & the US thus far but I'm kicking myself for missing out on a few that have become stupidly pricey (like the D-Arts Charizard).
I'm psyched for some of the new Figma that have been announced though! Lucina, Young Link, & Zero Suit Samus are all in the works.

If anyone's interested, I've actually dedicated part of my new amiibo site to other Nintendo action figures & toys - D-Arts, Figma, Nendoroid, SH Figuarts, & the World of Nintendo line from Jakks Pacific. :)

Cool. I was considering starting a bigger collection of licensed Nintendo figures last year, but ultimately decided against it. With the prices on those premium, high-quality figures, it seemed like things could get out of hand really fast.

be sure to erase the smash bros memory from your Mario amiibo. As if you don't, you can't use it.

yeah, you are right, but I'm ok with that. for the time Mario Party will come out I'll have played enough our with Smash (with a single character, like Mario in this case) LOL
 
So, anyone heading to Toys R Us for the "amiibo event"? Can't hurt to check, right?

Yeah, I am. I was in this thread wondering why no one was talking about it and if it's not happening at all anymore...

Anyway, I have to work, so I can't be there when TRU opens. I'll go during lunch.

What I wouldn't give for a Peach/Daisy/Rosalina Nendo.
 
Bah! Still no Little Mac restocks. :(

I'd guess that any restocks will come in waves, probably related to the original wave release patterns - that is, restocks of Villager, WFT, Marth etc. first, followed by restocks of the Wave 2/3/etc. characters. If Nintendo are producing more to meet (at least partially) demand, it makes sense that they would be gauging things based on sales of the first wave released, and manufacturing/restocking using that data. Hopefully we see wider restocks and not just the Nintendo official shops, as it will make the whole process of collecting the ones you want - or a full range - much less hassle for everyone, and cut the scalpers out entirely.

Makes sense actually. I don't think any of wave 2 had restocks. Both Luigi and Diddy Kong have never been out of stock on the site and all the rest remain out of stock.
