Checking online fox looks like he's still readily available. You can still get Villager at Walmart too. Honestly, it looks like Marth is really the only one who's pretty much sold out both online and in store everywhere.

We don't have enough online retailers in Canada lol
 
My Amiibo is ready to overcome the odds.

The eyes on him actually look good! I've only seen really weird versions of him
 
I'm tempted to get one or two of these but my city is still fairly well stocked so I'm lacking that fire to compel me into purchasing a few.
Thank God..

So, which of these is "the one" to buy? I'm hearing Wii Fit trainer.
 
So far I've only got two, I have a WFT in package for collector's purposes, and I got a Kirby to actually use in the game. He's sitting in front of my TV now. My roommate and I played quite a few matches with him and got him up to level 44. By the end the little guy had won two matches, and we both remarked that the Amiibo's playstyle as a CPU was quite similar to a friend of ours.

After examining the actual figures, I may break down and end up getting Mario, Samus, and Fox because all three of them look good. And maybe Pikachu, because it was adorable. Ugh. Stupid Nintendo. Stupid Amiibos. STUPID.
 
Also the VERY VALUABLE Skylanders weren't just produced in limited numbers, they were unbelievabley rare 1 in a million (not exact figures but you get the idea). Aside from those, there were trade show models/giveaways also crazy rare. The store exclusives from year 1 are also worth a little.

With aiimbo's you have nothing like that. Even the hard to find 3 can still be found if you try hard enough/order online and there is a good possibility they will be restocked.

In short if you are hoping to buy gold your best bet is Marth, wft and villager but don't hold your breath they will be all that valuable. It really depends how limited exactly they end up being.

Yea the employees only Skylanders that we got are going for a hefty price...
 
Marth & Killager now sold-out on Amazon.

No order now button. Has Nintendo already started phasing out the figurines for Wave 2 in December?
 
Looks like my grabbing an extra Marth last one at local target might have been a good idea. Had ordered one from BB too grabbed the target one in case BB didn't ship.
 
The random nature of weird production faults and upside down characters in boxes makes me want to buy the damn things more.
What is wrong with me?..

I've bought none so far and I feel the same lol. Wasn't too interested but now I'm like, "I want them." lol
 
I think the amiibos are great, and way better quality wise than what everyone freaked over.

I have a full set. They are so cute! I want them all! Nintendo are thieves.
 
This is my damage.

Only opened Peach, I went through about 40 (couple stores worth) just to find one that had paint apps that I was satisfied with.

Looks like Amazon is no longer accepting pre-orders for some wave 2 figures like Captain Falcon?
Yeah, they've been sold out've everyone from Wave 2 except Zelda for awhile now. Luigi and Diddy only came back in stop around the 20th. I hope Pit is instock on December 3rd when I'll have money. If not, I'll have to wait until January to buy him. Or else suffer $4 shipping or risk wave 1 figures going out've stock again.

I think they'll come back instock atleast for a couple months. The preordered Wave 2 figures for Diddy and Luigi did like I just said and Villager, Marth, and Wii Fit Trainer were sold out a few days after wave 1 preorders opened and came back instock.
 
What's with the Metal Mario and talk of this "America" Kirby?

Are those official variants?? Wtf...

Also, my Target had everything but Peach well stocked (4+ of everyone but Marth, just 1 Marth)
 
I literally flipped through the whole set at a Gamestop on Friday evening and had no interest in picking one up. But now? Maybe just one, or two, or...

If I could have got a closer look I probably would have bought at least one when picking up the game. But our Gamestop had them behind the counter and I know you really have to inspect things like this.

Hopefully Marth comes back in soon. Gonna suck if the one (well, all the FE really) I want becomes THE rarity.
 
Just got Samus, Fox, and what I think was probably the last Marth in my city. Called all the usual suspects and everyone was out of stuck until I lucked out at my local Target. They said it was their last one and I had them hold it for me. I'm just gonna keep him unopened for now seeing how scarce he seems to be.

I didn't plan on buying any amiibos, but ended up picking up Villager which I'm glad I did because I didn't want to risk him selling out.
