I bought a couple amiibo there as gifts during the holiday season and they come right off with no hassle. They also don't put the stickers on pre-ordered amiibo fwiw.

I didn't know that but that makes sense. Good to know my Shulks will be sticker free.

I hate how GameStop slaps those ugly ass new stickers on the Amiibo boxes. It's a sin I tells you!

They also do them for Disney Infinity, i was considering getting the Baymax because I liked Big Hero 6 so much but there was like. 2 of the stickers and also the back card was falling off so I passed on him

A search for Toys R Us exclusives shows both the stamp being on the card, and as a sticker on the bubble. BUT...again...if it's a sticker they have two options (assuming they aren't sending them to the stores in Canada). Re-route them to the stores in the states, or peel off stickers. They're not going to peel off stickers.

Hmm, the only previous Nintendo target exclusive I remember is the Red 2DS with Yoshi Isand, does anyone know if that had the sticker?
 
I can't decide if I should pick up the Super Mario line of amiibo as well. They look really nice, but I don't know if I could justify it after getting the complete Smash collection.

Ah. A couple of mine didn't come off for some reason. But if most of them come off easily that's fine. Still mad ugly.
 
Well, I finally took the plunge and bought a Samus amiibo. Doesn't look like I'm ever going to find the likes of Pit, Captain Falcon, Villager, and Little Mac, though. Is Kirby rare? I don't see too many of him ever.

God help me.

I think i want unique characters. So i'll certainly grab a Toad, but otherwise, i think i'll be holding off, at least initially.

Edit: If you need help with Kirby, that is something within my abilities. He is one of the more popular commons, but he isn't too hard to snag, so don't get too worried or discouraged

Bah I'm not made of money. Smash line will have to be enough. At the very most, one amiibo per character for me.

If your opening them and throwing away the package, then no big deal. But yeah I see stickers on other people's amiibo and just cringe.

That's true. Even though I opened up my Amiibos to put on display, I still wanted to keep the box's in good shape, since I like the way they look. I was careful to open each one to not do any damage (you can't even tell they were opened). My gamestop amiibos were sitting on the shelf for a while (they were the basic ones), and for whatever reason the ugly stickers wouldn't come off. Was an annoyance.

I'm sure for most, the stickers come off easy. And I bet there is a way to get stickers to come off (maybe something with steam?).

Definitely not double dipping on characters. Toon Link is an exception, though. Toad and Yoshi from that series but that's it.

I think it just depends on your location. There are always plenty of them in my area. He's in stock in all the major retailers online, too. Those other 4 you mentioned are definitely rare, though.

Looks like Targets are getting Rosalina on the 30th. So they are on schedule to release it Feb 1st.

What Amiibos do you need?
Click to expand...

Pit and Captain Falcon as well (my two favorite Nintendo characters). I'm already in the amiibo doc, but don't have anything to barter with. Not sure what the best way to go about getting them is

Edit: I foolishly had them pre-ordered, but cancelled thinking I would get the chance to pick out the very best ones in store like my Wave 1 amiibos. Mountains of regret

If you can wait till Feb, I can get you them. Don't want any money. Just pay it forward.
 
Seems like my B&H order for Marth, and the Holy Trinity of Wave 2 is still open at least. So there's hope for that.

Not sure why I'm leaving Shulk, MK and Sonic for on the field hunting. Maybe not Sonic.
 
Muzy72 said:
Those stickers are the God damned worst.

Luckily the manager at my GameStop is a pretty close friend of mine, and he knows to not put a sticker on my amiibo. :)

Now that I have Rosalina, Lucario, and Meta Knight pre ordered from Amazon Japan, I no longer have to stress about Wave 3. I have the other 8 pre ordered at GameStop who always makes sure I receive the amiibo I pre ordered. Now to start freaking out over Wave 4, haha.

Does Amazon Japan ship to the U.S? Does Prime apply and what was your total?

They don't. Japan has this weird thing on Amazon where they WONT ship games/toys to a U.S. address. You have to create an account with a third party shipping company. Amazon will send it to them. They then send it to you.

What sucks is, Amazon Japan will ship all my Blu Ray to me. So it's a really useful tool. But games/toys...NOPE. Can't do that. I know setting up an account for that third party shipping thing is actually really easy and I think fairly cheap. Just haven't gotten around to doing it.

OMG Azula! You don't have to do that! You've already helped me so much with the avatar (I'd been trying to figure out the background removal for a while, but you did it automatically) and the amiibo doc and all. This is the nicest thing I've ever encountered on the internet...

It's cool. Just want to make people happy. Would love to do that for you. :D

That seems consistent with my friend that works at Target. He said they've been getting shipments on Saturdays. Sunday should be crazy!

SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY.

The mother fuckin hunt is on Amiibros/Amiigals.

Going to get there 2 hours early to fight off the scalpers. ROSALINA MUST BE MINE. It has to be.
 
The Finest Brew said:
No worries. Would it be possible to get them so that they're on the sides of the character's head? Or would that be too much?
Click to expand...

The problem is, your avatar is very cut off. The boards dimensions are 100x120. But because your avatar is 56x80, there isn't a whole lot of room. But let me try to do that.

EDIT: More like this?

If you want them by the sides (like the actual side of the head), I'll have to figure out how to do it, since your avatar cuts off. Let me think.

I think for certain products, you need a place like tenso.com to have it shipped.

I see... don't really want to bother with a third party company.

So I placed an order for Shulk and Meta-Knight from amazon.de so am I guaranteed to get them? Also the release date is February 20 for em so I guess Europe get's a later release date?

I mean, this is what it would look like at the proper resolution. But then it gets smaller. =/

Do you have a higher resolution version of your picture? One that I could properly fit in the 100x120 ratio? That would make it bigger, and give me space to do the sparkles on the side.
