It's hard to say the extent of it.
-If it supports data writes you can pick one and only one game per Amiibo but that's not a guarantee the Smash Amiibo will be compatible.
-If it supports reads it should as long as the expected characters match

Just got samus. Not sure why, bit she looks pretty cool
The GameStop by me had a fox but the bottom was cut open. On the shelf as new.
Really GameStop? I bought it from best buy

Nintendo World is indeed fully stocked on all released Amiibos today. They had dozens of each still available.
They are out of standalone GCN adapters though and I had to buy the $100 bundle despite having a few factory sealed GCN controllers at home from my Melee obsession.
I picked up Mario, Marth, Link, and Yoshi Amiibos on impulse >_<
I'm probably going to collect them all.

Mario Party 10 is already confirmed to support these Amiibo.
EDIT: The extent of this support is unknown.

Just picked up the last Gamecube adapter at the local Walmart (Alliston, Ontario, Canada).
Amiibo selection was pretty anemic - Mario, Link and Kirby (all of the ones I saw had the off centred eyes).
There were a couple Samus ones left, one Fox and one Wii Fit Trainer.
It will be interesting to see how fast this stuff gets restocked.

Thanks for the answers Gaf! Ya I guess I'm more concerned on the Amiibos unlocking content. In terms of storing data, that I can make the call whether I really need that or not or whether it will add to my experience of enjoying the game. But when it comes to extra content in games, I'm all aboard!
I forgot to comment on this. I specifically checked the Kirbys for off-centre eyes, and they were all fine. I did notice that most Links looked crosse eyed, but I think that is just how he was designed. I did manage to get one that looks pretty normal.
This was one huge benefit of buying in store. I noticed that Peach in particular tended to have dark marks along the skirt, and every figure except the super basic ones (Kirby, villager, pikachu) had a few that had stray marks. It's normal for these type of painted figures. I was able to hand pick the best.

It's not quite a fair comparison considering the Dota figures where sold at 35 dollars.
Amiibo's are still cool and made to be played with so I understand the quality due to cost and added functionality.
That's awesome!

I saw tons of each of the Amiibos at the Target near me; couldn't resist and grabbed Fox, Samus, Link. I will resist going down the whole and getting them all though.
This is why I haven't ordered any. Of course in the UK I suspect demand will not be as great as it is in the States considering I can still order, say, the more sought after Marth right now if I wanted to, thus walking into a store willy nilly and examining them by eyes should be easy enough.

So, will Zero Suit Samus sell five times any other single Amiibo or only four times?
For reference, here's her Smash pose:

Thanks to this thread I managed to snag the last Wii Fit Trainer from my Gamestop when I went in to pick up my GameCube adapter. The store apparently only got one Marth in the entire shipment for more anecdotal evidence on the rarity.

My GameStop only had Marth for those who had pre-ordered. I was unable to get one. They had plenty of everyone else.
She will probably have a terrible, neon-yellow cylinder attaching her foot and ass to the base, in which case they will have lost one sale from me.
I can say that in person, these don't look nearly as bad as I thought they would.
And for her pose, I feel like something more like Pit's is what will happen.....and I actually kinda like the base for Pit.

Mine haven't shipped from Bestbuy yet
I got all 13 too. Might buy a duplicate or two to actually use though.
When did you place your order? Mine were shipped on tuesday. Getting them today. All except for villager. For some reason that one did not ship...
he came to life and murdered everyone?
Piss stand incoming.

This is why I didn't pre-order anywhere online or in store, would rather hunt down the best ones and it was worth it. Don't want one shipped to me that might be cross eyed, or bent, I saw many in store that had broken boxes they were in too.
Got Marth, Villager, Wii Fit Trainer (all 3 of the rare ones) and then got Samus for fun. Fox will be next.
All 4 cost me $28 due to deals.

Somehow managed to grab an extra Pikachu instead of Link though >_>

So I picked up my amiibos and Smash but adapter until Tuesday
I hit Toys R Us shortly after it happened. There were two guys who picked up all 11(No Marth at the store) and a family in front of me who picked up 6 figures, both Pokemon games, Smash, and Hyrule Warriors. The mom was a huge Zelda fan and was super excited to get Link. I think the combination of the amiibo and the B1G40% led to the Hyrule Warriors purchase to be honest. Everyone was asking about Marth so hopefully the next shipment gets him.
The amibo section was fairly large and set in the same aisle as the Infinity stuff. Everyone was there in decent numbers aside from the absent Marth and Villager, Fox, and Wii Fit Trainer who seemed to be in small supply.
I grabbed Fox, Kirby, Wii Fit Trainer, Samus, Peach, and Link. They were all painted pretty well and Link's sword wasn't bent either.
Went to Gamestop for Smash and their section was basically non-existent. They had two Marths but they were preorder only. I tried Target but they were actually setting up the display so not much there aside from a few figures on an endcap. The amiibos were being put up with the rest of the wii u stuff. Not nearly as big as the Toys r Us display but a decent size and certainly better than what Gamestop was offering.
I'm very happy with the figures despite the stands and Link's shitty pose.

Luckily her leg seems like it will act like a sturdy central pillar so the transparent support should hopefully be minimal.
Worse than the the urine pillar Link leans upon is the fact that he looks down at the ground with those vacant crossed eyes. As if he was apologetically bowing because he is ashamed to have peed himself.
No thanks, I'll wait until Toon Link.

Last night was AWESOME. Whole bunch of people came back to my place that I had just met at the launch, and we played until 5 a.m. :-D
Also, these amiibo are great. Here, Kirby and Yoshi tour part of my personal library:

You must be stocking up on kindling for the winter months.

Really random but I have seen a person selling stuff locally to me on Craigslist with all of their stuff in front of a near identical bookshelf. Random I know.Last night was AWESOME. Whole bunch of people came back to my place that I had just met at the launch, and we played until 5 a.m. :-D

On topic I see almost all of the figs are available on Amazon and I really want Samus. I just have no interest in Smash so it doesn't jive for me.

I got finally a shipped email from Best Buy for my Villager figure about 30 minutes ago. Meanwhile my Marth and Link, part of the same order, arrived today.

Wait wait wait...where did you get the adapter separately?

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
