I've been seeing Falcon's name on store shelves, but his shelf is always empty. :-(

Not brave enough to order these online. I'd sooner go without then be stuck with a botched one.

I've gotten really lucky with amiibos I've ordered online so far. My Little Mac and Villager look perfect, my Samus doesn't lean, and Yoshi is Yoshi - he looks good.

The one amiibo I ordered online that I'm scared about is Diddy though. If his eyes derp I won't be able to live with myself.
not really but I'd never not notice it lol
 
Had a Pit amiibo sent to a friend ten days ago as an Xmas present and it still hasn't arrived. I really hope it hasn't been lost because there's no way they'll have any stock to replace it.
 
Soo....anyone been actually leveling them up? Just got my Samus to Level 50. She put up a pretty good fight!
 
I own:

Donkey
Diddy
Link
Zelda
Peach
Luigi
Yo shi
Little Mac
Kirby
samus

Captain falcon and Pitt coming and mom got me Mario and pikachu

Help :(

If you buy from BB or TRU, they'll take the amiibo back in-store without question. And Amazon will bend over backward if they do something wrong.
 
Nintendo should do a second round of these Smash Amiibos. This time with the alternate colors, similar to the Smash 4 alternate character trophies.

My Samus is also at 50 and my Diddy is 15 or so (I just opened him today).

With how fast they level up, I'm not sure what the point is really, though I have noticed the mimicry, which is cool.

The leveling only affects their stats. They learn separate from the leveling. They'll continue to modify their behavior after lv. 50.
 
So after I made that Pit comment earlier, someone looked me up on Skype and messaged me with this piece of gold. Guessing it's just some lurker on GAF and not an actual member, but I found it funny that Skype says he's 34.

In case they are a lurker, quote to reveal my message:

"I have 100 Rosalinas preordered" should be the OP title.

Final Smash amiibos.

or, Amiibos for different costume versions that unlock that costume in game. Think a Wind Waker Ganon that allowed playing as Toon Ganondorf in Smash.

They do either, my wallet will RIP.
 
I'm starting to worry about Pit.
I never thought I'd type that sentence.

He has never showed up in Houston, aside from some fabled Gamestop in-store preorders.

It's getting near the end of Christmas shopping blitz, and the Amiibo wasteland that has already manifested itself sends a shiver down my spine.

Hey, I'm in Houston and I got a Pit at Gamestop. As of last week when I did in store pickup you could see low stock in a handful of stores..

Hmm 100 x 13$ = 1,300.00 he spent I hope it turns out to be common just for him :) Or preferably his order gets cancelled which would be the best solution anyway just limit it to 3 max or something online per account/guest id.

I saw exactly 1 store back home with him in stock this morning. Already gone. Dunno if the others sold right out of the box or if that store lucked out with him. Does seem like GameStop is going very low in stock for amiibos. Preorders and at most like 2 of each of the new stuff.

If it is common, he can just return them to the store and get his 1300 back. That's the sucky thing about scalping...lots of profit potential without terrible risk.
 
I was out today just walking around malls since I was bored. Came home with a Kirby and Donkey Kong.

All I'm missing now from Wave 1 aside from the discontinued ones are Link and Peach. I refuse to buy a Link that has a bent sword and so far every one I've seen has been bent. As for Peach, her face just looks so off to me. I'd only buy her if I actually got Marth/Villager/Wii Fit Trainer at some point as well just for collection purposes.

Hmm...I sensing a bit of anger.
 
Since I can still find every Amiboo over here (Italy), which ones should I prioritize? I keep hearing about Nintendo not restocking/producing some of them again, here on GAF, which scares me shitless 'cause I don't have that much money to order 'em all at the moment and I wanted to get the ones I really like first... but I will go with Amiboos which might not be coming back instead.
 
Anyone going Pit hunting in the morning?

I am willing to pay to have it shipped to me. Nothing in my area. I am from Canada. You won't have to ship internationally. Border store 45 minutes away.

I am. I noticed a bunch of Gamestops 40-60 miles from me started stocking Pits slowly on Saturday and then selling out towards the end of the night and into Sunday morning. I'm hoping my local store gets a delivery in tomorrow morning. I also noticed they don't have Luigis in either so I think they are expecting a shipment. It's a small store, so it's a long shot, but I'll see what I can get.

probably the only way i'll get a mega man volnutt figure.
 
Might have been posted earlier but Toys R Us knows what's up

I'm assuming this is to try and fix the canceled preorders. Make the item purchase able but expensive. Then the people who need to reinstate get a coupon or something to lower to normal price.
 
I'm really tempted to import Marth/Wii Fit Trainer/Villager but I feel like when I do, Nintendo will announce next year that they are reprinting them due to popular demand or something.
 
It's funny because I ended up getting Wii Fit Trainer and Marth from Japan when they started getting rare and I thought that I'd order one of Wave 2 while I was there since delivery would be around the same and Wave 2 came out day and date with the game in Japan so I picked Pit.
 
i just realized that i have 7 amiibos currently plus 6 preordered. and from the ones that have been, will be released i want 18 more for a grand total of 31. plus i know i'm going to want to keep a sealed copy of a few.

my wallet weeps.
