When people make custom Amiibo boxes, are they just like...printing these out in super high quality material, and gluing it on the original cardboard box?

The custom female Villager one is insane.
 
I forget how super fast AmiiboGAF moves! Grats Azula! :D

I stopped by my TRU on the way home. Nothing yet even though I know all the cool managers.
 
Wow, I sure missed some big stuff while I was taking Japanese 101. Best of luck to you, Azula.

Now that I think about it, I should probably buy Ike if I see him on the chance he becomes rare like Marth. Hopefully Nintendo prints a decent amount of him knowing he'll be supported in Codename Steam in March.

Hmm, not sure. I guess I would probably just print out on high quality material instead of dealing with glue and all that. Btw I have the native files if you'd like, they be slightly higher quality.
 
You did fantastic job with that. They look adorable! Maybe I should pay you to do mine in the future when we ever decide with our date.

Awww, that's real cute and creative. :P

Thank you!

This is awesome. Good job in such a short time. I might have to make a red dress one myself now that you already did some of the work for us! I might need to ask you for a high res version. Anyways, gj!

Where do you find box art without the figure? Just google it? (I haven't tried googling it yet lazy me haha)
 
Just got charged for Rosalina and Meta Knight from Amazon Japan. Guess they'll be shipping [to Tenso] soon. Yay.

It's amazing how much easier it is to buy Amiibos in Japan and Europe.
 
Thank you!

Unfortunately I had to shop her out haha
 
Has anybody got an email from Entertainment Earth recently about the CF and Pit preorders they had open? Or any update from them?

We can all thank Nintendo NA for that! Love those guys and gals. Doing such an amazing job.

I was thinking about the Japan route but I need to have faith in my US preorders.... (I don't have very much faith in them). I should have preordered the whole Wave 1-3 from EU. I like the numbering better anyways. Looks so nice to line them up 1-20+

Order status email from January 2nd

"Thanks for your order!, Credit/Adjustment
NDWUNVLAAAR, 1.00, Nintendo Amiibo Little Mac Wii U Mini-Figure, Estimated Release Date is January 2015

Nin-nin games told me Wave 3 orders won't ship till Feb 12th. :(

Also no, Wave Pre-orders in NA have not happened yet.
That going to be a while to get to my shelf then. If Nintendo wasn't ready to open preorders in the US I wish they didn't even announce them. Losing sleep over them in case some of them sell out (namely Fire Emblem characters.)
 
How much is it to import amiibos compared to US MSRP and BB GCU ($10.49)?

If its less hassle like you are all saying I might convert from BB GCU to importing websites.

Yeah...I don't get why Nintendo bothered announcing Wave 4 when they did, if they had no plans to take pre-orders.

As far as nin-nin games go, I have no idea why they are shipping them out so late. Wave 3 is already out in JP/EU...so Feb 12th is fuckin ridiculous. That site. Maybe they just aren't reliable. =/

Usually minimum of $17/figure (if you order a good amount to offset the cost of shipping) to $25ish/figure (if you order only 1 or 2 in a single shipment)
 
I just want everyone to know, if you didn't preorder Lucario from TRU instore, you still might have a decent chance of getting it. Our preorder system is a bit wacky.
 
I have a bad feeling when I come back from my trip.
The gamestop at best will have maybe 1 or 2 of the amiibos I preordered.
They'll of course be the common ones. Ike and Shulk are just going to disappear.
Might end up trying to import or grabbing them if i'm ever able to when I watch this thread for updates on their status. Better to end up wtih 2 ikes and 2 shulk and help out amiiboGAF with my dupes over 0 amiibos.
 
Nintendo is easily one of my least liked companies right now.

This is disgusting. I ordered a Pit within seconds and I still missed it.
