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).

Finally manged to complete Wave 1. £5 for £10 Amazon vouchers from bespoke offers have really helped, so look out for those. Still annoyed at them for cancelling my Little Mac pre-order though. Just need him and Zelda for the full set now.



This was how I got started, don't think it's as rare as the others as I've seen a Marth in 4/5 Game stores that I've visited. Yet to see a Villager or Wii Fit Trainer anywhere in store in the UK.

Thanks for the answers.

Maybe he can be the start of my own collection! Now I just need Smash.
 
Falcon and Mac came in stock at Tesco online this morning but were sold out within an hour of the stock alert email. I only managed to order Falcon - Mac wouldn't get in the basket.

I fell into a trap and have nearly all wave 1 & 2. I need to be sensible and back off a bit for wave 3.
 
Yeah, I went ahead and preordered my Lucario, Mega Man, and Shiek for 999.99 a piece.

Seriously, it would be interesting if they were doing this to test consumer behavior. If there are bots that fill in the orders for resellers, do the bots know not to buy when they are priced at 999.99? I guess it would be easy to program a fix for that within the bot, though.
 
My local Gamestop here in Norway claims that Metaknight and Rosaline is not coming to Norway and that it's "US only", based on lists from the vendor or something.

Anyone heard anything similar or about this?

I did get Little Mac in the basket, only for him to be kicked back out when clicking checkout. So just Zelda for me today. I'm going to keep checking there since it seems they keep getting more stock of the rarer figures.

They are being released in Japan for sure and maybe Germany? I am not sure on other regions.
 
Is there a way to prevent Samus from leaning, in case I feel like getting one later down the line?

You can see the lean in the packaging...I saw a bunch of non-leaning ones but the paint was messed up on those. Do they start leaning eventually? I just assumed it was a manufacturing thing.

Perhaps "later down the line" would be for the best. Doubt Samus will get discontinued and maybe later batches will be better.

Still patiently awaiting news on Ness. I really can't wait for it.

Nonsense. Both Rosalina and Meta Knight will be available in Australia.
 
Saw this on Gamefaqs...is this real?

Fucking excited as hell if true. I'm probably just getting Lucina (2x for Waifu), Ness and Greninja!
I want them all.

EDIT: Probably fake, but they look pretty believable lol.

Interesting wave if true would get 3 of them (Pac man, Greninja and Lucina) and maybe dark pit. Ness should have his baseball bat though.
 
I am... oddly proud of this. Just set it up, but still feels empty due to no Falcon yet :(

Getting all of the Marvel characters out in DI for Christmas then that collection is complete for now.

Nice collection bud. Seeing them in the same frame makes me appreciate the craftmanship of the amiibos a bit more than the DI stuff and I do like DI.

Hopefully Cap makes his way your way soon :D
 
Yup she leans. Even more so than when I got her on launch, which is strange. I'll be looking around for a replacement soon.

Gotta have 'em all! Thank god I'll never get into Skylanders or I might just die.

I had a severely leaning Samus that I straightened by dipping her in some boiling water, carefully avoiding submerging the base, for about 20 seconds, and then holding her in the correct, straight, position for about 2 minutes. No more leaning.
 
Just saw this post on the Whirlpool forums and it made me frown - damned scalpers:

"I had no interest in amiibo, as I don't own a wii U but I did walk past the shop and see 3 marth and 3 little macs, picked up all 6 and immediately put them on gumtree. Made an absolute killing. What is the fascination with them?? I can understand wanting your favorite but a full collection?? There pretty expensive as is..."

I was lucky enough to get a Marth in-store last week. I'm still torn on whether I'll actually try to collect a full set though...they're so expensive.
 
Well how would playing as "Star Fox amiibo" be different from playing as the character star fox in the game?

You can't level up just by playing the game, nor can you "eat" equipment to permanently change your stats. Normally you can only equip 3 items.

But I agree, it's silly to think..."oh boy, if I buy this now I can play as the character I could already play as without buying it!"

Something about this if off....oh wait, I think it's because we're not even at Wave 3 yet! :P
That Pac-man though :O

Would Mr. Game and Watch ship with that pose without a brace? Either way it seems like he will be the most delicate out of all the amiibos due to him being flat.

I'll eat my expand dong Amiibo if this is true.

I could see Ness, Pacman and Greninja but not the others.

If real, all I can say is awwwww sheeeeeiiittttt. I'd buy them all.

Fuck, I realized I bought all of wave 2 sans Pit because i'm looking for him

It's possible. Although I think they might finish the starting roster from Smash first. So Game and Watch, Dark Pit, Ness and Lucina could be replaced with Robin, Palutena, Zero Suit Samus and Olimar (just four random guesses).

If this is legit the only one I need is Greninja. I don't need the rest.......that Ness though......

Yeah, likely fake. But they look incredibly awesome.
 
I had no problem getting all of wave 2 in germany. Now my collection is all released (wave 1 and 2) minus Link and Marth which I decided not to buy. From among them only Zelda looks kinda derpy. I haven't seen one which didn't have the left eye a little off.

I hope its fake, pla no stand for greninja, he has 3 parts on the ground, he don't need a stand :(
 
Just keep an open eye on this thread! Pit preorders opened up for about an hour last night on Walmart.com

i've had one pre-ordered on toysrus.com for about a week. Before they priced them at $999.99. ;)

They better send it to me too :( and soon. It's still not processing.
