My local Walmart didnt get any amiibo, was bummed since they had a display for them.
Sooo glad I preordered every last one including the first wave. Only ones I need to get are the retailer exclusive ones (already preordered Shulk from GS so I'm good there) such as Lucario, Meta Knight and wherever Rosalina will be released

Just did a google image search for "Marth Amiibo" and this came up...
Good lawd! They could have at least made the nose more defined.

Got Fox and Link at Gamestop. Nicest figures, I think.

Well, I have 5 of these things sitting in a box along with Pokemon and Smash waiting for me to pick them up tomorrow. I took a good look at them (Yoshi, Marth, Samus, Fox, Link) and I think they look quite good. As for faces like Marth's, frankly, it looks decent. You have to realize how teeny tiny the details are. Most cheap plastic toys in that range don't come close, and I've yet to see a bad paint job. Understood in context of the size of the figure and the cost, these are really good quality. Colored sticks are still a puzzling decision.

I'm just glad the two I'm getting (Mario and Fox) seem to have a competent mold and design. I especially like the Fox amiibo.

for the meantime, sure. those 'exclusive' Smash 3DS demo codes were selling for 30 bucks a piece 2 days before the actual demo was released for free worldwide

Definitely down for a Fox and Link, but I've spent waaaaay too much money this month. Maybe in January (assuming they'll all be sold out next month).

To be fair, I'm just getting them as figures primarily, more of a decorative and collectable item, the gamey aspect of them are just an added bonus for me.

This thread made me preorder Pikachu. Limited availability makes me do that, even if there are going to be more coming out anyway. I just really wanted to be able to use it when I first played Smash, instead of having to wait.
It'll be interesting to see which one sells the most... I've noticed a lot of people here have preordered DK.

Hoping they won't be in such a high demand in Europe, but preordered my Link one on Amazon anyways. Never had Amazon not fulfill a preorder so I hope I'm safe.

You should look into the Jakk's Pacific 2.5" line then,
equal size and with quality the same to better for $10 less.

They actually seem pretty decent, but I don't like the whole posable balljoint thing it's got going on, looks a bit ugly and it's about £9 for the figures, which is only £1 less. Plus I kind of like the poses most of these amiibos are in.

I have link, Samus, Marth and villager ordered. Debating on ordering DK, fox and Mario....
Out of curiosity I checked wal-mart tonight on my way home from work, they had the display with available 11-21 sign but had zero stock, the guy in the electronics said they were suppose to get a big shipment of nintendo stuff soon and to check back in a few days. At any rate I don't really need one but I would like to grab one or two for my kid and maybe one for my desk at work lol (I don't have any games to really utilize them besides MK8). Might swing by some stores tomorrow to get the feel of how they are here. I am in a metro of 1.3 mil ppl so should get a good idea on how they will be in most places I think.

Hopefully I can grab the set when I get smash tomorrow morning, need to taste the regret of spending over a hundred dollars on Mickey D toys. Can people who bought at best buy confirm the 10.50 GC price?
I think I read that it was coming up at that price for online orders but maybe someone else can clear it up.

Why do people want these?
Functionally they seem like waste

I am wondering the same thing. How did these madd produced toys get so many people automatically interested.
Isn't it just a way to make you buy way more stuff? Like the only way to get every cool thing in the game is to buy toys?
Seems like Marth, Villager and Wii Fit Trainer will be the hardest to get. Most GameStop's in my area got extras for everyone, but only enough for pre-orders for those three. And then some that had extras were limited, such as Fox and Samus only get 2 or 3 extra.
Then on the other hand there is Pikachu which had like 15 extra lol
