Amiibo Discussion Thread

Not open for further replies.
I found this spreadsheet on reddit a while back that's trying to catalog all the amiibo ID numbers and such: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/154NCz7kqi-MvuoSBIS_MCmSNsrcC51Q7vENoURchqf8/edit?usp=sharing

By the time I found it it seemed to already be dead, but I did input my own amiibo ID numbers anyway.

...

If anyone has a few minutes to check their Amiibos, please add them to the database. I just added most of wave 2 and a couple new numbers to wave 1. The Euro and Japanese sections could use some help! It would be nice to see if the production numbers are regional, or just a glorified lot number.
 
This was what my email said. Nothing about reinstating. Just saying I would have the opportunity to purchase again.

I wasn't really planning to get any Pokémon amiibo (at least not until there is some compatibility with actual Pokémon games), but if there's one for Mewtwo I'm probably definitely going to have to get that

Weird that they said they ARE reinstating my preorders. I checked my order status and they don't even show up in the order history. I really don't need them to reinstate my preorders I went elsewhere. Also I really don't need 3 Lucarios. 2 from the first that was canceled and 1 from the next preorder I made.
 
Hmm. TRU re-instated my Lucario order, but I had already placed an order for a Lucario on their ebay page after the first one was canceled.

Should I cancel one? Or is it worth keeping the second pre-order?

If you get two, and only want one, I'd buy the second one off you. As far as I can tell, Lucario was never available on Toys R Us Canada.
 
Nevermind! My toysrus.com order DID get reinstated, and it kept the free shipping and the "buy 1 get 1 40% off" pricing!! My opinion may recover after all...
 
Yeah I got the same TRU email. With the limited quantity of these things, I just hope they put enough on the side foe us who got screwed with the cancelation.

*edit
Wait some of y'all's orders got reinstated? Mines wasn't.
 
Actually I got the email, checked the order number and it still says "Cancelled" under the status. I wouldn't mind if it stays cancelled since I already payed $20 on their damn eBay listing.
 
Hmmm she is slightly off. Dammit now that you pointed it out I can kind of see it lol. It looks straight from a different angle.

sorry man. yeah, im looking at issues as well. i realize most are just trying to get their hands on some of these but if youre looking to collect a set getting best shape versions is going to end up being big. im sure a good face marth and a bad face marth will have different prices down the road. not sure about samus if there is a straight version as all the ones ive seen are tilted to a degree.
 
I sell these things myself, but we don't get much. In the first shipment we got 4 Links, 2 Samus, 2 Peach, 3 Mario and one of all the others. In the second shipment we got 2 of each of the first wave. Second wave, we got 2 of each except only one Pit.

I took one of each for myself. Except Zelda, which was sold before I got a chance to lay her aside.

The Gamestop in my mall got many of some figures and none of others, so the people working there came into my store to buy Wii Fit Trainer and Pikachu.

Fox, Zelda, Link and Villager are the fastest sellers. Nobody has bought Samus or Peach yet.
 
I got an email saying my ToyRUs Lucario order was reinstated, but it still reads cancelled on toysrus.com...

My email actually doesn't say the orders will be reinstated:
"Legally, we cannot reinstate your order(s) however we are working to put a process in place that will allow you to purchase these items within the week."

So I'm not quite sure what this means for my sale prices...

Just started, found some different Samus and Link numbers, and added my Little Mac. Villager appears the same. Will do more later. (these are all NA)

Oh I'm not planning on collecting all of these and selling them. Shulk and Mega Man are the last two I need before I retire and wait till Nintendo gets their stuff together in selling these in the future.

Edit: Oops I read your response wrong. Correction, I don't mind my Samus being a little tilted. It's hard to notice tbh.

Ok. I guess I'll keep the second pre-order, but I'm not going to make a decision on what to do with it until it gets closer to February. Feel free to PM at the end of January if you still want it.
 
How can you check if an order is reinstated on TRU.com?

Go to the website, sign in, click on "order status", and where the order once said "cancelled", it should now give the option to cancel it yourself. If you click on the order number, it should say "Item(s) on hold until release date: 12 / 21 / 14"
(which is kinda weird on its own)
under "status", where befroe it said "cancelled".
 
Never even seen a Pit, Falcon or Diddy. Today I saw my first Luigi though in mass at Toys R Us in Meadowbrook WV. Only got a Little Mac because I was in Logan WV the day they got a delivery and was there when they cut it open. Stuff is getting rare.
 
Oh, I don't know if the image was shown yet, but this is the email I got:

At first, toysrus.com still showed my status as "cancelled" when I signed in to check it. After an hour or so, their website reflected the reinstatement of my order.
 
Surprisingly, my Mac from Amazon was extremely well-packed with plastic bubbles and everything. Must depend on the individual shipping departments.

Mine seems to be a good figure, no obvious defects. He looks more sad than intense, but that might be normal. Up to 7 total now, if I can find a Falcon and/or Pit soon I'll be good until Wave 3.

My Mac that I got today was the same. Amazon da besss
 
I got the TRU email saying my falcon and pit orders were reinstated:

We are reaching out today regarding the recent cancellation that has occurred with your online order, #XXXXXXXXX Unfortunately, there was a processing error that caused your order to erroneously cancel. However, we want you to know that your order has been reinstated.

We thank you for your patience as we work to remedy this situation.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Sincerely,
The Customer Service Team
Toysrus.com and Babiesrus.com

They're still showing up as cancelled on the website though. Is this normal for everyone else getting the emails?

I'm pretty happy about this if true. I can't find a Pit anywhere in the Seattle area and one of my roommates missed out on getting a Falcon from the target he works at so I can see my spare to him.
 
I swear someone else had theirs packaged identical to this, even with the top corner bent. What the hell Amazon!

They even showed if you rotated it 90 degrees it would fit fine without getting bent, sigh...

I think that was him, earlier in the thread. He was just reshowing the image.
 
So I want to make a Trading and help amiibo thread, but I don't know how much overlap it will have with this one, this is what I have done so far, if something should be fixed or added let me know.

Thread Title: Amiibo Trading/Help Thread. No Scalpers, just Amiigos

If you are looking for an specific amiibo and don't want to pay outrageous prices, importing or risk getting awful paintjob/packaging, or, in the other hand, have extra amiibos that you are looking to give to a fellow GAF for its retail price+shipping, this is the thread for you!



Thread Rules:
-No scalpers or overpricing allowed. If you want to make bank, that's fine, but do it on the General Buy/Sell/Trade thread, not here.
-If you want to take someones offer, just quote him or send him a PM, please do not get upset if they reject you, remember no one is forced to trade if they don't feel its fair.
-Take photo's of the Amiibo(s) you want to trade or send away and, if possible, with the receipt of what you paid for it. Edit and erase some parts if it has personal information.
-Be reasonable. Don't expect to get a Marth in exchange of your Peach, below I'll provide a list of "Rarity Tiers" that should serve as a guideline. Of course, if someone is willing to give you a Marth without asking for more than necessary, that will be gladly appreciated.
-Be polite. Remember this is a help thread, not a charity. No one here is forced to give you something they own, this is a voluntary thing. Be respectful and truthful.
-Offer/Accept unreleased Amiibos at your own risk, remember we don't know if those pre-orders are going to be fulfilled.
-Once your trade is done, be sure to comeback and leave positive feedback to the user that made the trade with you.
-THIS IS NOT AN AUCTION HOUSE. If you see someone offering a rare Amiibo for retail price and you want to offer more to beat someone else, send him a PM, don't do it here. If the people offering the amiibo takes the offer is up to him/her, no judging.
-If you want to offer more for an amiibo, do it from your own will and after the offer is made.
-Have fun! We all are collectors and we just want to make the hunt easier!

Not sure what you're after exactly... so I'm reluctant to directly editing the file.

But here is some data on my EU Amiibos.

All have this product number : PUA-NVL-C-AAA*-EUR-CO where only * change, according to the letter between brackets :

1 Mario [A] 384W2
2 Peach 364W3
3 Yoshi [C] ?
4 Donkey Kong [D] 374W2
5 Link [E] 374S1
6 Fox [F] 364S1
7 Samus [G] 364S1
8 WFT [H] 364W3
9 Villager [J] 374W2 and 424W2
11 Kirby [L] 364W2
12 Marth [M] 384W3 (for all 3)
13 Zelda [Q] 414W2
16 Little Mac [R] 404W2
17 Pit 424S1
18 Cpt Falcon 434W2

What I find *really* interesting is my second villager... I'm pretty sure that the first two digits are the week of production. That means that Villager has been produced again at a later time, in parallel of wave 2 characters.


Edit : in short, the "AAAB" is definitively an identifier of the figure (and for first wave, B=2 thus Peach). I guess they'll use a different third letter with wave 3, probably something like AABA to something like AABL

The 364W2 is probably the date and location of the production. I'd say first two if the week, I'm not sure for the 4 (it never changes, it seems), the letter (W, S) may be the factory (West and south) and the number the line (?) There's only W1, W2, W3 and S1 currently, it seems.
