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!

Spoiler

I want them all.

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

I would be really surprised if these turn out to be real. Definitely fake in my book

 

[O.v.e.rlord]

Pittoo and Lucina are my definite gets! Maybe gerninja

 

[UncleSporky]

I would be really surprised if these turn out to be real. Definitely fake in my book

It doesn't matter whether they're fake or not, the real ones are going to look pretty much 100% just like that, maybe with some stands here or there. They all are supposed to be modeled exactly off of their render...

I don't see any stands under their feet. Hmm.

Oh yeah, that's true. I don't think most of those are gonna be out for a while though

 

[BGBW]

All Amiibos so far have been based off of their Smash render so why would Mr G&W suddenly not be based on it?

I don't know man, looks pretty legit. The packaging looks pretty authentic and although not impossible to recreate in the slightest with the renders being readily available it seems to all check out and the figures look a little off...which leads to their credibility as if we know anything about Amiibos is that they're all a little off lol. The way G&W is kinda flat and the way that they all have stands makes them look legit too. Ness and Lucina look way too perfect however and Dark Pit looks a little awkward.

Who knows really. I will say that it's a strange Wave however, since so far every Wave has a mix of characters that are less known and thus obviously more rare off the bat and others that are more tent-pole characters and thus more common. This Wave if true looks like an all rare one lol.

What's worse than phantom stock?

Phantom Hope

 

[y2dvd]

$8 at Best Buy this week with GCU discount if you have it ($10 without). Better than most B2G1 at other retailers.

My BB said the GCU didn't work on accessories. It works for figures?

 

[UncleSporky]

I don't see any stands under their feet. Hmm.

Also if you look at Pac Man, he isn't quite identical to his render, his arm is closer to his body. And he looks very plastic-y by comparison. G&W also looks a little different, with the fade from grey to black. And Dark Pit appears to be looking in a different direction.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Pit is in stock at Amazon . Third party seller, but good price. $18 shipped

 

[TunaLover]

Just one thing:
Link sucks in Hyrrule Warriors outside the spinner, he only give weapons, I though he could give me materials too, sigh...

 

[javac]

This is what the previous Amiibo Wave looked like in terms of presentation:

In regards to Mr. Game & Watch, maybe the difference is due to that part beings essential to keep it balanced, or it works as the stand?

 

[ThatMattZ]

Pit Amiibo up for pre-order from a 3rd Party seller on Amazon. With shipping it comes to about $19 which isn't too awful. The seller has a lot of history and good feedback too.

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Pit is in stock at Amazon . Third party seller, but good price. $18 shipped

Won't allow me to check out, says it's out of stock and to pick another seller, but when I go back to the Pit page it's still there.

 

[BGBW]

Also note that Mr G&W is based off of a render, the Brawl render.

Note the hands, they were more rectangular in Brawl.

I clicked "Add to Cart" and it says my cart is empty.

Ya..same. Just puts it in saved items.

Yup!

Yeah, I'm thinking it's probably just a fan made mockup. Wonders of Photoshop.

I still don't see the stands under their feet, but I guess they are not noticeable from that angle of the packaging

You can't see the stands in the official renders either Link

You da real MVP. In for Falcon, Pit, and Luigi. I also grabbed Sonic, Mega man, and Shiek in case my amazon orders end up delayed.

 

[d1rtn4p]

Diddy Kong seems to be in-stock now on Amazon...Not sure if this is news or not

The dark box of Mr Game and Watch looks great

EDIT: and i wouldnt be surprised if this turns out to be real. Greninja and Dark Pit looks like the render, but with a slightly different pose, just like Link... seems possible

 

[einer51]

Captain falcon still avail for preorder on Walmart.

[That Wont Fit In There]

Looks fake. That Ness one looks exactly like the render

Its possible. Look at Pikachu.

 

[Nayishiki]

Thanks! Just canceled my amazon.ca wave2B and ordered it from them.

Is it just me, or do Pac-Man, Greninja, and G&W look real, while Dark Pit, Ness, and Lucina look fake?

idk

In for Dark Pit and Lucina regardless

 

[Taco_Human]

Luigi isn't rare is he? Just swung through my local best buy, there's a bunch of him.

 

[zroid]

not rare, it's just being rolled out slowly for some reason

a lot of retailers haven't got him yet

 

[Mecca]

I don't think so. There were plenty at my local Target too. I think he's in the same category as Mario and Peach and will be everywhere.

 

[Stormwatch]

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Captain-Falcon-Amiibo-Wii-U/40571999

I went to place an order for it and by the time I got it in my cart and was entering my shipping address it went out of stock.

 

[LiK]

Nope, he's common

 

[Neifirst]

Anyone know of a retailer that is currently carrying Little Mac in the U.S.?

[LiK]

Canceled my TRU second preorders when since they reinstated most of the original preorders. They better pull through.

 

[seady]

So what are the list of rare amiibos as of now?

 

[shanafan]

So what are the list of rare amiibos as of now?

I'd say Marth, Villager, and Wii Fit Trainer.

Pit isn't a wide release yet to be considered rare IMO, Captain Falcon is becoming more and more available online each day. Little Mac might be considered the rarest from wave 2 so far.

 

[JawesomeJaw]

Guy at Gamestop literally answered the phone by saying they didn't have Pit despite the website. Felt bad for him, but he was nice.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

So what are the list of rare amiibos as of now?

So far, WFT, Marth, and Villager are almost impossible to find without buying off a scalper. Pit, Capt. Falcon, and Little Mac are out their but their moving slowly in short supply. Basically first come first served at this point. Shulk, Rosalina, Meta Knight, and Lucario might be rare since a lot of the stores their exclusive to have stopped or are taking limited pre-orders.

 

[bodine1231]

Early bird catches the worm! Woohoo
Checked the GameStop app this morning and they had one left and 3 were on hold. All I need now is Little Mac.

Basically, the less popular the franchise, the more rare, it seems.

As mentioned, anything you actually want in the future, pre order asap, even if those aren't guaranteed (I cancelled the delayed Villager and Fit I had at Amazon when I bought ones in the wild).

 

[O.v.e.rlord]

Lucky! I don't mine well ever reinstate! What do you have Pre-ordered over at TRU?

Well Rosalina wouldn't make since in that equation nor would Meta-Knight (IE Kirby and Mario) heck Lucario is a Poke'mon no way that series isn't popular.

Wow!!!! Nice get man! That is some insane luck you had right there! I wish I had the same yesterday.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Keep forgetting I'm all set for wave 3 aside from rosalina. Ugh I honestly think the 30 for her will just be the better route to not deal with that.

 

[CanUKlehead]

Correct. Addendum should be 'anything else store exclusive'.
