Picked up Kirby and Fox today from Target. Saw a Marth but the paint job was pretty jacked. Same with a Samus. No WFT or Killager to be seen tho.

I trained my Pikachu using Pikachu 90% of the time..
I can barely land a single hit on him..
With other fighters I can do some damage but he still kills me on 4 stock with 1 or 0 deaths.
It doesn't help that I gave him auto heal, and a shield ability that hurts whoever attacks his shield >_<; (also a no fling when charging smash attacks)
Clearly he is undefeatable in 1vs1 situations
his highest stat is speed with SOME attack, his defense is all in the negative.

Toys R Us online is doing buy 1 get 1 40% off. Seems good on paper but the shipping makes it basically retail.
I just saw that. I think you get free shipping if your order is over 49 dollars.

They also charge $1 more per figure. Best Buy GCU is better than this lol

Ah, okay then.That sounds likely. I saw toad on the amiibo website.
I can't remember if I also saw toad on the cardboard display backing in stores but I definitely saw pikmin and tom nook.
Actually, while Mario doesn't match his pose (and perhaps Bowser, DK, and Luigi may not match) it seems like all the others match their poses. So the Link, Samus, Pikmin, and Nook in this picture should look like the "generic series" amiibos to a T. I can't remember the others but that Peach also matches the Peach in the amiibo screen in MK8 in addition to the Mario in MK8 matching the Mario figure and silhouette we've seen so its likely most of these except the facing direcly towards you will match new poses for amiibos later in 2015. Actually perhaps all the MK8 amiibo pics will match new poses aswell. Edit: Or atleast the Mario ones since Link is using that MK8 SS pic.
Thanks for letting me truly see this picture.i will gladly buy that new Link pose which is much better. Maybe Peach, Toad, and Nook aswell. Now to decide which Yoshi pose to get....I think I will stick to Smash 4's. Dunno about Olimar VS Pikmin. Depends on Generic prices...
It is kinda odd and funny that Nintendo is like "we are showing off new poses, but no info about these amiibos will come" seriously like wat.
They probably want people to buy the ones out now and see how the demand fares. But yeah, I don't like the current Link amiibo and there is probably going to be a special amiibo line for the new Zelda game so I'll wait.
Amazon.jp will have them and they are region free, so that might be a good choice. I am not sure about any other regions.

Oh dear. I just noticed that Ike and DeDeDe are now sold out on amazon. The thirst is real.
I really wonder if I preorder a Pit (or any other) amiibo from GS if theres a chance I won't be able to get one day one anywayz? Oh dear. This is bad. Nintendo, why you gotta release 27 figures in three months time? You could've had wave 2 in Feb and work on having enough for each wave. >_<
Eah, sorry Dangan Ronpa 2, I gotta make sure I have enough to preorder all amiibos available at amazon/GS. I dunno know if I can preorder locally at a Target for Rosalina. (Actually I don't think her preorder is up anywayz so its a moot point.) *sigh* Luck PLS.
The two most limited amiibos of wave 3 confirmed.

So can you just not feed your Amiibos any equipment so that they retain the default stats?
they gain bonuses no matter what -- I'm pretty sure.
So I ordered three more amiibos fro TRU, Marth, Link an Samus this time, and Marth looked AMAZING, its the best marth I have seen in person so far, I ordered to sell at my store but I'm keeping this one for sure. Now I have to make use of Best Buy GCU to torder more Marth, Link and Villager, since they seem to be sold as soon as I put them on display.
They do. Come 40-50 they start to become stronger than any default character irregardless of feeding or not. It's likely there to make them stronger than the AI will ultimately allow once you've out-learned its learning curve even though it will always have its frame-perfect actions.
My Kirby Lv.50 is pretty much a punching bag at this point because I know what it will do, and its quite clearly reached the limits of whatever semi-learning algo runs inside, lol. But he's still going to punish me hard if I mess up because he hits like Ganondorf now.
That sounds likely. I saw toad on the amiibo website.

Huh, has it been discussed at all that the render of Fox there is completely new as well as a different design to the current Smash 4 Fox?
Possibly the first piece of official artwork from the new Star Fox.
Shopto got hammered with fines regarding early shipping so they'll be sent today.

Seems like an odd mix-up to me. Link from TP and DK maybe from a Mario Party? I don't recall that particular Fox but doubt it's a new artwork.
I didn't even realize that, that is pretty cool.
It actually is new artwork.
His fur isn't as long, his head set is different, the jacket is different and his (what look like) two-tone pants are new too.
It's actually the same render as the one they chose to use in MK8, it's definitely new:
Also, Star Fox is getting a new game so they have new renders to use for this. Does the fact that Captain Falcon has a new render and not just his Smash 4 one possible mean anything?
They also used Metroid Prime Samus for once which is a nice change after seeing the horrible Other M design in everything.
E: Captain Falcon's pauldron also doesn't have a gold trim in that image, could just be the angle, could be a slightly updated design that they're using in a new game.
Great, next time I'll order somewhere else :/

Huh. Not that I doubt you, but where did you see this? It's a bit of a shame if so...
Do you have a source for that? Because ShopTo have shipped everything else early still.
They also had "Shipping: November 26" on the Amiibo.
Until the post comes, I'm thinking their system just didn't update like has happened before. A few people have had games arrive before the dispatch note.

Yeah, my Smash shipped yesterday and should be arriving later today.
Little Mac isn't coming out in any region until next month:

Regarding possible defects, I would just look at the separation of colors to make sure there in no paint overlap.
Nah, no luck for me. Post just came and I have no Smash, controller adapter, Pokemon ORAS or Amiibo to show for it. Ah well, I can manage another 24hrs.

Welp I just ordered 9 amiibos off amazon, only amounted to 100 bucks, and I bought a shelf to put them on. This thread got me

Amiibos are great, I didn't think I would fall in love with them when I didn't care for Infinity figures. Must be because of my Ninty-love.
I noticed all amiibos have a "Super Smash Bros Collection" label on the box, so the possibility we will get different ones for other games makes me faint. From excitement.

Yes, some people noticed the new render in the MK8 amiibo screen. The old Amiibo banner had the Assault render of Fox, so yes, this new one it's probably from the new Star Fox and they updated the banner.

So happy ! Just received my Amazon package and none of the figure is derpy / broke / badly painted. After seeing some ugly Marth last night in a store, I was really afraid of Link's face but it's alright. The other one's are great too, and Villager is perfect ( it's the figure I wanted the most being a huge AC fan ).
Now, to try the game...

Some like Marth, WFT, or Villager will probably not get reprinted. I would not worry about the rest though. If anything, they will look better over time.

amazon shipped my amiibo in 4 different order wtf amazon
Imagine if the Shulk amiibo does something in Xenoblade Chronicles X, like IDK, unlocking Shulk default clothes for your protagonist or something like that!
They'd probably have to warn us in advance about that or provide an alternative method for those who didn't manage to buy a Shulk Amiibo months before they bought X.
Italy here.
I was able to visit just one big consumer electronics chain (Mediaworld/MediaMarkt) and regarding the first wave of Amiibos the guy said they're already sold out with preorders alone, with restock date currently unknown, weeks probably.
To be fair I also have to add that AFAIK they ran an interesting campaign, where each Amiibo was being sold (preordered) for just 12 instead of 15
No shipping confirmation yet, but at least Amazon FR has already charged my CC as well.
Well, to tell the truth I should note that Google Translate (I can't read French) tells me there's a little notice on each Amiibo product page that basically says "out of stock" but I guess I'll just have to cross my fingers and see what happens... :-\
Just received shipping confirmation from Amazon UK. Would be funny if the Amiibos turn up tomorrow but not the game, which I bought from another outlet. I haven't even researched the benefits of these things; ah well, too late now! I'm in love with Samus anyway since playing Prime last xmas (uh oh, that sounds creepy... time to exit thread).
Just visited local Game Mania (netherlands). They only got a couple figurines extra on top of preorders, and each figurine only 1x. I snatched the only Samus, Fox and Mario. The only had 1 Peach and 1 Donkey Kong left after that.
Stock sounds extremely limited. Next stop is Mediamarkt, not getting my hopes up. I heard Mediamarkt Amsterdam is selling them for 12,99, hope it's the same in my area.

Amazon does that sometimes. It can be annoying.
keep them all... You know you want to.
I do, but barring any deals, it would cost $800 to ultimately acquire them all.
I'm willing to buy anywhere from 25-50% of them.
