Uuughh, the Villager has become impossible to find in my area.
Why didn't I indulge?
I got Villager, but I opened it since he is my favorite brawler.

Same here
such a shame because I was there on day one, with multiple Villager's around me. But I was like eh...these won't sell out...so much sadness since I'm only missing him now of the original 12. And he's sold out online everywhere, well at least for Canada. Amazon is out and TRU didn't even list Villager here.

To be fair, I really wasn't interested in any Amiibos, but after seeing them in action in Smash at a friends house I really like the way the AI-learning process was implemented. Going against 4 level 50 Amiibos only to have our collective butts kicked was fun. The Spinner is also pretty nice.
My friend got me a Yoshi Amiibo for my birthday too, so I'm probably going to hunt Marth for him in return (only one from the first batch he doesn't have, haha) and nab Link and DK for me, at least. It's going to be tough seeing as some places are already running low on the rarer ones though.

Are they store exclusive in japan too ?

I still have yet to see a Marth.
North America only it seems. Nothing's been said about EU and JPN store exclusives.

I picked up Samus at launch, thinking I would just get her and maybe one more later. Had a ton of fun using her in Smash so immediately decided I wanted more. I love collecting figurines and other stuff as well as games, but wasn't really eyeing amiibo as a new thing to start collecting.
With Marth being absolutely impossible to find in my area (and seemingly scarce in most places) I jumped on it when my buddy found a single Marth when he bought an amiibo for himself. I wanted Marth on the off chance that I decided to start collecting, at least I'd have the hardest to find one already. Opened Marth up and started using him.
While out today looking for a third I stumbled upon another lone Marth. He looked great and the packaging was pretty sharp so I bought that as well as a Fox. I'll keep the second Marth sealed.
I still want Donkey Kong, Link, and Wii Fit Trainer from the first set. I thought I was only going to buy one and tinker with it, now I have four.

Have you been into all your local shops? It's weird, he's hit or miss for me. Some shops didn't have him (GameStop, Best Buy) but others did (Walmart). I wonder how the stock is doing post-Black Friday. I need to go buy some more.
I went back to the store I purchased my amiibo from and they mainly had Mario and Peach. Link was almost gone, one WFT, one Samus, one Villager, and a couple of Kirby.
I'm going to another store tomorrow. I've entertained the idea of getting Kirby and Peach in my head so much that I just want them. I also want Yoshi. Fuck.
I can't wait til wave 2 comes out. I'm gunning for Cap Falcon for sure, and Pit and Little Mac if their faces are nice. I might also get Diddy, but I'm trying to stay mentally strong.

There is something unnatural about Amiibos, once you buy one you can't stop. I want more!

My complete Wave 1 collection is now bubble wrapped nicely in a box. All sealed, all perfect paint jobs and condition, no Marth derp face or super leaning gangsta Samus.
I paid $10.30 Canadian on average for each one based on the discounts I've been able to get at different retailers like 3 for $30 and 40% off. Not bad at all.
Bring on Wave 2 December 14!!
Looking to collect them all for Wave 1-3 and then just the rare/retailer exclusive ones at that point.

Where were you getting 3 for $30 in Canada? Toys R Us? I thought that promotion was USA only.

Indeed.... They never noticed it was USA only. I'm an unethical bastard.

I think they are addictive because their aesthetic appeal actually increases when there are more of them beside each other
I feel like it's my Melee trophy room except it's real now.

Also just realized Marth's sword's hilt is a mass of plastic rather than the two extrusions it has in-game; would using a hotwire cutter to slightly cut it to bring it closer to how it's supposed to look work? Or should I just leave it?

Here's the state of affairs at the Target in Central Houston.
Have yet to see a display in the five stores I have been in.
Also the sections have been pretty untouched as well.
Will see the case in the next town tomorrow.
congrats! I picked up the last villager at target on black friday. once my toys r us order arrives I'll have all of wave 1, just in time for wave 2 to hit
these things are going to be a problem for me.
It had better be amiibos, because I don't want to talk about amiibii. (uh-mee-bee? uh-mee-bee-eye?)
amiibas?
It's been confirmed that it's simply amiibo, both singular and plural.

amiibo. Just like Pokemon.

I am a grown ass man. Is it socially acceptable for me to hoard these?
Need a Kirby but need to buy it at best buy because of GCU.
Love these things
The Kirby one is my favorite so far. I wanna pick up another one.

I had to break down and erase the data from my Link amiibo. He latched on to some horrible tactics in Smash, like spamming arrows, and he couldn't handle stages with more than one platform. I took him on Big Battlefield and the poor thing just ran around aimlessly, jumping from platform to platform. He even ran passed me a few times, without trying to attack! He was at level 45, too. Oh yeah, he also couldn't cross Eldin Bridge when the gap appears. He'd just shoot off a few arrows, and then run back and forth.
The new training is going well, though. I'm focusing more on his standard and smash attacks, as well as exposing him to multi-platform stages. At the moment, he's level 17 and he's significantly better than his predecessor.
My Donkey Kong amiibo is a beast. He's level 43 and he's taught himself to follow up and combo. I'm quite happy with him.
I'll just throw this out there, but I wouldn't mind if Nintendo added FP Battles to the online modes.

How do you teach him how to move around though?
I'm honestly surprised by how well Amiibo seem to be selling. I knew plenty of people on gaf and hardcore Nintendo fans in general were planning on buying at least 1, but I didn't expect sellouts.
I haven't see any amiibo commercials on tv, but I guess Nintendo is hitting their audience somehow.

I might spring for a Samus Amiibo as a stocking filler... for myself.

Edit: I really hope we´ll get an official press release soon. I want to know if....or better, how well Amiibos are doing. The anecdotal evidence points to quite successful .
Game and Indi-Game Stores have had them in abundance in Glasgow so...

Just preordered megaman and shulk at my local gamestop. Watch those disappear quick next year once they drop. Especially shulk.

Anyone bought amiibos in sainsburys?

Are they actually legitimately useful?
As in, I've kept all mine packaged. Should I buy extra ones for actual use of the characters I care about?
Or not worth it?

The GAME in Hamleys had lots on Friday, I have no idea if they are still there though. The guy in front of me bought 3 (yes, 3!) sets of each. The supplies could not sustain many more purchases like his

So no idea on sainsbos?
