Is that the official date?

EB Games Canada got an email that only Zelda, Diddy and Little Mac will be released on Friday December 12th.

The other 3 (Luigi, Pit and Captain Falcon) have no date yet.

This seems plausible since Wave 1 was released on a Friday too. If you go to every major online retailer like EB, Amazon, Future Shop etc, it shows the same, those 3 on the 12th and the others as a December 31st placeholder.

That's realllly dumb so I guess only Zelda will get shipped on Friday lol.
 
Finally tracked down a villager amiibo. I don't know if I'm gonna open it yet or not.If it truly is discontinued I might just keep it boxed.

I'm probably gonna pre order sonic mega man. And shulk as soon as I get off work. Really don't want to go through this struggle again.
 
You guys are making me want to buy all the amiibos, they're plentiful (for now) here where I am.
Japan.

Same with the GC adapter.

Must resist! >>;

Japan seems to be getting second batches while the rest of the world is not. Go nuts.
 
Got Marth, Villager, WFT, Kirby and Mario, and will unbox them all! >:D Villager and Marth are yet to arrive but they're on their way.

Will preorder: Falcon, Shulk, Dedede, Pac Man, Megaman, DHD, maybe Bowser/Dr Mario
And want more, as they're all so good.

Glad they're all spread out, so the cost doesn't seem so crazy. ...still a bit crazy.
 
Went to the Nintendo World store and they had tons of everyone except Villager and Marth. Not too surprising but they had a lot of Wii Fit Trainer.

one of the biggest toy retailers online. EE is absolutely reliable. they just happen to sell everything at MSRP, they rarely do discounts.

So I wonder if this just means that Nintendo is being conservative and producing more of one figure than the other, until one is sold out, then printing more?
 
Went last night and picked up Villager, Marth and WFT. Only found one of each. Got lucky and TRU had two of them, so got Peach to save $10. Got WFT at the Target next door. Will probably pick up some more before the end of the year. Not sure if I'll actually collect then yet though.
Seriously what the hell..

I went to seven different stores today, and didn't find a single Amiibo of Marth/WFT/Villager.

It really sucks for the people that wanted to collect them, and also for the kids that wanted an Amiibo of their favorite character for Christmas. Stores have so many Amiibos of Mario, Link, etc. that no one cares about.


Should we start a petition?!
Not sure if serious.
 
Are there any production pictures of Captain Falcon, Toon Link, or Ike yet? Thinking about preordering them, but I'm kind of cautious because of some of the issues with certain Wave 1 Amiibo's.
 
Its amazing how I was hyped to collect Amiibos and now with these waves getting discontinued my interest has been completely killed.

It's not entire waves getting discontinued, it's certain characters that arent' selling too well that are getting discontinued. I'm guessing they didn't have much expectations for Marth, WFT, and the villager

I'm planning to pre-order the ones that I want, but still visit the store on launch day to pick out the good ones. Then just return the other ones that I previously ordered.
