Amiibo Discussion Thread

Tried the mobile site for Rosalina, lets you click on the red pre-order button but this message pops up "purchase limit The maximum quantity of this item has already been added to your cart."
But nothing in the cart. Maybe they are gearing up for a big hit, I hope?
 
Great now I have it pinned to my phone. I plan on napping here in a bit but now I am worried. I slept through the limited edition PS4. Rosalina wait for me!
 
I can see Ness, Game and Watch, Rob and Duck Hunt Duo being exclusives. They're going to be the characters that will need exclusivity to get a good chance of shelf space.
 
Man this is something else. I just had a dream that I could preorder Rosalina. It was so vivid that I just had to check my PC. Sure enough some were able to preorder, and the button changed to "Preorder Now". Guess I'm not going back to sleep now...

I´m 100% sure Mr. Game and Watch Amiibo is going to be a Club Nintendo reward, my reasons:

-Is perhaps the cheapest to produce since he is going to be flat for sure, but that will also make it unlikely to be sell it for full S.R.P., since a lot of people would feel ripped-off.
-All Game & Watch games released recently have been Club Nintendo Exclusive.
-It will add a CRAZY amount of prestige to the CN rewards, similar to what happened with the Smash codes.

Its also likely that they will be released in stores severely limited, and if nintendo is smart it should make it an online only amiibo, amazon exclusive sounds about right.
 
Megaman and Little Mac preordered. Dr Mario and Duck Hunt will be my next purchases (provided they actually release those) and then I'm satisfied.

NO NO NO NO NO. You shut up sir!
 
So Best Buy is telling me to pick up my Zelda tomorrow but not my Little Mac? What a mess, I really hope I don't miss on Mac due to a screw up.
 
My Zelda shipped from GoHastings but my Diddy is still awaiting shipment, probably will be that way until tomorrow.
Going to hit up some TRU's and Gamestops today though.

Thank you so much! There is a border store 45 minutes away from me so you won't have to ship it internationally.

I'll cover shipping and pay a bit extra.

What about Luigi and Falcon? WHAT ABOUT THOSE SHOPTO?.

*rocks back n forth whilst laughing like a maniac*

Yeah, I'm hopeful for everyone at this point.

I'll be honest, I just wanted a few specific ones. I might pick up mario and what not, but mostly I wanted Little Mac, Marth, Mega Man and pretty much any other Fire Emblem character that could get released (I have Ike on preorder). Obtaining these things has been annoying. There was no reason for them to be scarce or even potentially discontinued after an initial shipment. I'm growing weary of things being artificially made scarce for no real reason.

I am hopeful that Marth will get a second run and we are just in what I've heard happened when Skylanders was originally released.

I honestly think this is just the rough spot as you said sky landers had. Things should die down and go normal by the end of 2015 I think. Considering Nintendo has made no mention at all about a wave 4 makes me believe they want to play catch up with demand and supply before doing anything more. Considering marth and villager got a restock overseas in certain areas, I think we'll see that as well here.

Yep, that is really the only thing that makes me hopeful. I refuse to pay scalper prices. It just seems with every release of things lately "We can't have nice things" so to speak. For gods sake, I couldn't get fucking nostalgic KOOL AID flavors a few months ago because people ransacked the stores near me (Northwest of DC area in MD) to sell them on ebay for a premium. KOOL AID PACKETS!!

One last heads up regarding Amiibos, if you can't get Shulk online currently, try going in the store. I pre-ordered it last night with the gentleman at a gamestop with no issue (same place I pre-ordered mega man and ike at the same time). He even gave me a sweet amiibo lanyard with cards on it detailing the wave 1 releases.
 
I already had Pit preordered through Best Buy, I just did it again through ToysRUs though. At this point I'm in a state of constant doubt that I'll be able to find all of the figures I want at MSRP.
 
I noticed TRU lowered the amount people can order. It was 5, now it's 3. Guess they know.

Anyway, gonna order backups just in case. Tired of cancellations and warehouses screwing up my orders. If I get doubles I'll just return or sell to make up for the gas money I spent last night looking for them. lol
 
Tempted to grab the rare ones from a retailer who has them all (wii fit trainer, villager and marth??), but I'm not quite sure why
