I've only seen a few pictures, but that sounds par for the course as far as Amiibo paint jobs go-- the paint from the handle making its way to his hand. Lord knows I spent a good half hour parsing through the launch lineup looking for ones that weren't too afflicted by poor manufacturing.

Well, it's hard to shown in the pictures because it's covered by his blade's handle.

I was wondering something about the Pit Amiibo. My friend was complaining about how Pit had some brown paint on the top and bottom of his hand (the one that held his weapon)

I'm curious if your Pit Amiibo had similar attributes?

Bump this question for some people who overlooked it.
 
I ordered my Little mac from Amazon and it came in today. except little mac was off his pedestal. Now I got to contact Amazon about getting it replaced. Oh boy

Hurry Amibros and sitsers! I was just able to preorder a Cap'n amiibo from Walmart using a google search link to the good captain. Pit is also available. Hopefully it works.....

Just got Pit and an order confirmation. Thanks!

PS, I also pre-ordered Lucario and Falcon off of Ebay but I've gotten nadda as far as confirmations go.

If I could just get a Villager (willing to trade Lucario for him) I'll be set until they announce Zero Suit Samus and Gannondorf. Speaking of which...I kind of wonder if they'll do alternate costumes eventually like Wii Fit Trainer Male, Pink Jump Suit Little Mac, and Girl Villager.

today I went to my local Saturn in the city of Hamburg in Germany, this is the biggest store in the country so supply is supposed to be ample.

tell me US-Gaf, is this intersting? I know you've been fighting for villagers, Marths, WFTs and even Luigis. Little Mac is also readily available.

the weird thing was, just 1 Samus Aran! :O

awesome. pre-ordered a pit as a backup. gamestops only getting 1-2 units per store is making me nervous. just in case I can't snag one from there or from target now I'm good to go

I don't think any have "officially" been announced, but I believe miyamoto was talking about star fox amiibo support, and had previously shown interest in an Arwing amiibo. So I bet a star fox wave will come out next year.

I might be wrong, but I could have sworn I saw a different mario amiibo for Mario Party 10, so if that's real, then I'd imagine some of the other mario party characters (crossing my ghost fingers for boo) will get amiibos.



EDIT: just occurred to me that you probably meant smash, lol. I don't think any more smash waves have been announced.

Slippy Amiibo!
 
Called a bunch of Gamestops around the Las Vegas area, none had Pit except for 1. I asked if it was a pre-order and the chic said nope, and offered to hold it for me if I wanted! I was super excited and told her I needed to take a friend to the airport and would be there in about two hours and she said no problem! Finally got a Pit in my hands and the pro sticker was so fresh that it came off super easy, Yay!
 
almost out of work for the day. may take a trip to two gamestops and a target tonight. lets see what kind of luck I have.

Thank you!

Cancelled my order with TRU (which still hasn't shipped, and I generally just don't trust them anymore; Lucario be damned, I'll find him in person) & ordered at Walmart. Much cheaper overall, and I actually have a estimated arrival date (Jan. 9th, which gives me time to hunt in person and cancel if I need to.)
 
Could someone snag me a pit and a falcon from walmart? I'd preorder but I don't get payed until the 27th and I don't have enough right now (The charge is held at time of order, not at time of shipment like Amazon.) I can pay you for them + shipping when I do get paid.

It keeps telling me my zip code isn't valid. I don't know how the hell to get around it.

Edit: PC worked just fine, guess it's not suited for mobile checkout. Now it's just a waiting game... I'd assume they'd arrive sooner than the first week of January as stated, but I'd also expect Walmart to fuck this up above any other retailer.

You rule. Got a Falcon in case Gamestop fails to come through and a couple Pits (one to use and one to keep in package). Time to cancel that TRU order now.

I was just trying to do a Captain inventory check for local Walmarts, and of course he doesn't display with the rest of the amiibos, so I followed the google link and tada!

I just really hope this isn't some backend glitch on their part, but Walmart seems to have their stuff together decently with amiibo thus far...
 
Has anyone been able to pre-order amiibos in store at Best Buy? I tried to pre-order a couple for wave 3 today via the kiosk but couldn't find them at all. I searched amiibo, Wii-U and character names but was unsuccessful.

Good to know they've been reliable. I'm feeling a bit apprehensive about cancelling that TRU order...argh.
 
I PMed Byron Bluth. but he hasn't replied.

Anywho, guess who I picked up!

He looks good to me! I am gonna try to reach out to Bluth again, but if things don't work out, I will take it to the trade/sell thread on community 24 USD paypal gift shipped in the continental USA in a bubble envelope OR, if you are a stickler for the box (I'm not, I wanna use them and it's impossible to not bastardize the packaging and open them anyways), 22 USD plus the cost of a good box to ship it in.

But yeah Bluth, check your PM!
 
Oh also, I have a bit of information about the Little Mac situation at Best Buy, for orders canceled by them at least.

Only people who ordered more than the allowed limit of 3 (scalpers) weren't in line to get the $25 credit, everyone else should have.

UK GAF - was out Christmas shopping earlier, nipped in GAME and saw one lone Marth amiibo on the shelf.
I heard it was rare/out of stock/out of print so I thought why not, I'll get it.

I've not really followed the whole Amiibo thing too closely, did I get lucky or are they not as rare in the UK as the US?
Click to expand...

Not as rare as he is in the US, but still a rare figure. I've seen listings for over £20 for him (also saw one for Little Mac at £40).

hmmm...so one GS around me has pit listed as "in stock" instead of "low stock" like every where else. Fresno peeps, its the GS on first and Shields.
