How many sites are you monitoring? My current setup is checking Best Buy, Target, and Gamestop for any new Amiibo related items. If it finds one, it'll (a) open a browser window to those results on the machine I'm running it on...(b) Play the FF7 victory theme...(c) Send me an email...(d) And the email will play the Super Mario theme.

Tried monitoring Amazon, but it's a bit trickier.

Btw how familiar are you with NFC? Ive been messing with a pi, arduino, and an nfc reader to see i can do anything with the amiibo.
with an end game of seeing if its possible to modify anything at any level with the data they write to the console or even create clones.

Not Very. Thought about picking up a reader just to clone them. Want to build custom Amiibo keychains without destroying Amiibos for their chips.

This gif is so perfect (not seen that particular amiibo he's holding before though...)

Congrats to the winners.
 
So excited to get my Wave 2 (JP) amiibos on Thursday! Bummer that I have to wait until next month for Shulk, but at least I've got him pre-ordered. :D

Ok then, PenPen is the only universally likable character in the series.

All the others are optional.

(Pulling your leg, I like Rei)

Rei is pretty great, too! And Kaworu <3

Ha Nice I currently watch gamestop and target rosalina page I have done anything to try to make it more robust yet. But yeah im interested in how it writes data to the console and what else could be sent with it. Id love for homebrew to be ablw to access Wii U features :) playing nintendont on gamepad in my room is a dream :)

Set Nowinstock alerts up, turn volume all the way up, sleep :)

Just make sure you turn your other notifications off! I set my nowinstock alerts up on Thursday night then I got pumped when I heard an alert come from my phone in the middle of the night... until I realized it was a new follower from Twitter :(

Congrats to everyone who won Amiibos in the contest!

Thinking you could create a buffer-overflow or something using the data sent from the NFC chip? Possibly, but that really isn't in my wheelhouse. I'm more of the "analyze the entirety of the internet" kind of programmer. Currently working on something that'll search the Amiibo subreddit for new gamestop.com, bestbuy.com, or amazon.com links and email hem directly to me.

Oh cool you should make an official app when you get it done :). It would definitely rest alot of minds here for sure lol.
But yeah I definitely think its possible one of my friends has done alot more research than I have but he says its probable. We plan on working on it after we graduate in May. (Both comp engineering students)

Sorry if this has been mentioned (I only check the thread periodically throughout the day and sometimes miss a bit of info!), but I saw that Playasia has the US versions of the exclusives available for pre-order. They are about double the price, but in case anyone is interested!

whats the track record for play asia on this type of stuff? Do they always deliver? Chances of cancellation? Ive only ordered a handful of stuff from there? Also is it easy to cancel if I get a Rosalina locally on the 1st?

and of course John buys all the Rosalinas >_>


I really hope i don't miss out on Wave 4 Robin & Lucina because I need them for S.T.E.A.M
 
Just preordered US Rosalina off of Play-Asia and it came out to $33.89 after shipping. Don't wanna be bothered going hunting for her. My luck she'll be super common now that I bought her. Have I no sanity left?

I'm not sure -- I've never actually ordered anything from there before :/ I just wasted a buttload of money pre-ordering them, but I still plan to head out to the stores on release day(s) to find extras to help everyone (or replace them if they turn out looking like junk).
 
I got my first 2 Amiibo last week (Zelda and Kirby!) and I have 3 more (Yoshi, Link and Peach) waiting in my Amazon cart. Excited to get on board! I'll probably be picking up 4-5 Amiibo a month and I'm looking forward to completing the collection at some point in the future :)
 
Man, The fact that amiibo's are so rare is really frustrating me. I really ony wanted to collect my main's but I'm doubting I will be able to without breaking the bank. Been trying to pick a captain falcon for under 25 on eBay but no luck so far. Really hoping to be able to pick up DeDeDe with the next release wave and Ganondorf and I'll be done with amiibos
 
So the 1st is confirmed for Wave 3? Hopefully Best Buy doesn't screw me on my Metaknight then because my in store pick up order still says "12/31/15"
 
Sigh. Okay I think that other poster was right. Missing out just now makes me feel awful. Been wanting this one so bad. I've been on edge over her and missing her just now makes me feel really shitty. I think as much as collecting Amiibos has made me happy, I've put too much on it that it feels bad that I just missed out on the one thing I've been worrying about.

I think I'm just going to stop collecting. Accept I won't be able to get everything, so stop stressing over it. It's really dumb Nintendo has made these so difficult to get. Gah.

Going to bow out Amiibros/Amiigals. I had a lot of fun. Being friends with you was so much fun and made me so happy. But I'm going to bow out here. I know this sounds melodramatic. Because it is. Ive been in an emotional struggle for a while now, sigh.

Anyways, I had so much fun. I love you guys. But Im going to give up. I leave soon for Japan anyways with my GF for vacation. As much fun and joy this has brought me, Ive gotten too wrapped up in wanting to collect these.

Bye AmiiboGAF.

Sorry, I haven't been keeping up with this thread. Am I to understand from this pic that we are not getting Rosalina in Canada?

Hope you enjoy your vacation in Japan then. Come post here every now and then if you want though, you're always welcome here!
 
Didn't see anything special when I went out, ended up finding a used Disney Infinity Black Widow at EB and picked one up!

My first loose DI figure lol, I have Anna and Elsa sealed.

Do what feels right, but don't forget us. Visit once in a while, we'll miss you and you're always welcome here.

I gave up on the idea of buying them all long ago but the decision was made easy in that I have very little desire for many/most characters. When I do finally get Rosalina, I will name her Azula. And she will be the best damn fighter ever.
 
On the fence whether I want to preorder the new 3DS. I have stuff to save for but I really want one. The bundles with MM3D and the Skull Kid figure are too tempting, plus there's the amiibo support instead of having to get the attachment (depends how many games get amiibo support though...)

I'm sure it's been confirmed before the Skull Kid figure isn't an amiibo, but how amazing would it be if it actually was :O

Well cya. Thanks for being so helpful to everyone and for doing so much work on amiibo-fied avatars. If collecting these is bringing you more stress than enjoyment, then you're probably right and should stop.

We appreciate everything you've done for AmiiboGAF. Hope you have fun in Japan. Who knows? Maybe you'll get lucky & find some over there, or better yet, the availability issues will be taken care of by the time you return.
