[Hugstable]

That's correct.

Good I just preordered like 5 of them haha.

 

[brickwalker0]

Accurate.

I would really like to see a poll of some sort to find out which ones people are interested in the most. I'm willing to bet Link and Samus will be the hardest to find.

 

[Timeaisis]

Of the first batch, I'll probably get Mario, Link and Kirby. And Samus. And Villager.

...Dammit.

 

[Kintaro]

Pre-ordered them all.

Take my money Nintendo.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Why is Assault Fox in there

 

[Skele7on]

Nintendo, please bundle these in packs of 3-4 at a slightly discounted price.

at least it isn't like pokemon rumble U when you had to get a random figures.

So many duplicates, managed to sell them at a good price on ebay though thank god.....

Nintendo has my wallet by the balls here, I just put up new shelves yesterday.

Looks like I know what they'll be filled with now.

Who needs books anyway?

 

[Hugstable]

Of the first batch, I'll probably get Mario, Link and Kirby. And Samus. And Villager.

...Dammit.

I was the same way... I was all oh I'm just gonna get 2...


Then I added Mario, Link, Kirby, Marth Marth, Villager, DK and Pookie.


MAH WALLLLLET

 

[Bullza2o]

Nintendo truly knows their fans would be suckers for this. Will be getting at least Pikachu and Link first.

 

[Conrad Link]

Link and Peach and Samus first, EVERY F**KING ONE after that too.

My gawd Nintendo I've said for years to do this, now that you have I of course can't resist.

 

[New002]

I will be needing Fox, Olimar, Mega Man, and CAPTAIN FALCON.

 

[y2dvd]

If the quality stays the same as what we've seen so far, then $12 is actually a good price. Of course, I would want some super discount if I bought them all as a bundle because I want them all. ;_;

 

[darkmagus]

Nooooooo my wallet, i must resist.. i don't need them, i don't need them.

 

[JohnTinker]

Just bought Samus & Fox. Must.. show.. restraint..

 

[Version 3.0]

*Details are scarce about what other functions Amiibo will inhibit but I suggest visiting the following links for further details:

What?

edit: I don't know what word was supposed to go here, but this is definitely not the right one. Hmm..."enable"?

 

[LegendofLex]

These cost about $4-5 too much to have the impact Nintendo probably wants them to have.

 

[vinnygambini]

What?

inhabit lol omg thanks for the correction; wrong terminology clearly inhibit ehehehhe

 

[brickwalker0]

These cost about $4-5 too much to have the impact Nintendo probably wants them to have.

$10 is certaintly the sweet spot but after seeing the high-res photos, these things have more detail than I was expecting. And if their implementation into the game is as deep as screenshots are leading it to be, I think the extra few bucks feels ok.

It becomes daunting if you're someone who wants to own them all.

 

[Version 3.0]

inhabit lol omg thanks for the correction; wrong terminology clearly inhibit ehehehhe

Oh, inhabit. Okay...still doesn't work in the sentence, it's backwards. It should say "what functions will inhabit the Amiibo". You had me stumped there.

 

[Zonic]

Remember that they will likely have EVERY smash bros characters in amiibo form following their smash render

*Does the math*

$13 each times 38 characters confirmed so far. It's 6% sales tax in MI, so at the moment, it'll cost $523.64. & it'll continue to cost more as more characters are confirmed, probably being around $600 total.

.............AND YET THE COLLECTOR IN ME STILL WANTS THEM ALL.

I wonder if any will become rare/valuable

 

[epicnemesis]

Where the fuck is Luigi?

 

[El Sloth]

I'm really curious in seeing how these do compared to the Skylanders and Disney Infinity figurines this holiday.

 

[Beaniedude]

Sigh
*unzips wallet*

 

[Koppai]

Can we preorder them yet? Fuck you Nintendo for announcing this shit without a Direct.

 

[LumpOfCole]

In 2050, Neo Pawn Stars will go crazy over these.

 

[Spinluck]

I'll get the characters that I want, then wait for some sale to get them all.

 

[Skele7on]

In 2050, Neo Pawn Stars will go crazy over these.

lol OH DAMN YOU HAVE A BOXED PIKACHU?

That be $350 space cash

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Wait, Amiibo is pay2win for Smash Bros?

Not at all.

 

[Zonic]

I wonder if any will become rare/valuable

2015 Comic-Con Exclusive: Metal Mario!

2015 PAX Exclusive: Pink Gold Peach!

They'll do something like this eventually.

 

[PadWarrior]

Pre-ordered them all.

Take my money Nintendo.

Same here

 

[Nibiru]

I don't think I understand these things so correct me if I am wrong. If I get a Mario one and level it to 50 will my Mario in SMB be stronger than a person who doesn't have the Mario Amiibo?

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Your Mario will be a custom Mario that can fight for you i.e. CPU controlled.

 

[Byron Bluth]

I just pre-ordered all of them, but I am in Canada so I did on Amazon USA for now.

Any sign of Canadian retailers adding them online yet?

 

[Nibiru]

Your Mario will be a custom Mario that can fight for you i.e. CPU controlled.

Oh ok then I don't understand these things at all then lol. So it just pertains to cpu controlled characters?

 

[eXistor]

I'm at a point in my life where I should really think hard about how I'm spending my money (most if not all is going to my new house and renovation). It's gonna be hard as shit to not buy all of these. I'm gonna have to be really selective. I'll probably cave the second I see them irl.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Amiibo is some a portmanteau of "Mii", "Amigo" and "Aibo" ("friend" in Japanese) as far as I understand.

Ah, that would do it. Thanks!

 

[Curler]

I think I'll pre-order the ones that will be hard to find off the bat, and then eventually buy the others.

 

[Nibiru]

I just read on another site that you can play as your amiibo character. I'm just curious if this has a kind of p2w effect?

 

[Dragonborn]

I've held off on Disney but this is just too good. Goodbye money

 

[TunaLover]

Samus, and I'm done

.............AND YET THE COLLECTOR IN ME STILL WANTS THEM ALL.

A true collector does not collect at RRP. They find special offers, or buy bulk lots of poorer condition used ones. They also take decades to finish their collections

 

[Vidiot]

Preordered them all.

 

[Jarlaxle]

I'll probably wind up picking up Mario, Link, and Samus. I wish Zelda was available right away too.

I do worry about my kids breaking these though.

 

[Cow Mengde]

Wait, that list we see there is all they're going to release?

 

[Rizific]

of the initial wave, i added 8 to my amazon cart for $103. not bad!

 

[Loco4Coco]

Samus, and I'm done

But she needs friends, have to pick up a few more so she's not lonely.

 

[Kissenkopf]

Amazing how many of you guys already pre-ordered EVERYONE of these things.

Spoiler

my wife would kill me if I get them all...but I want too...

 

[Hugstable]

Amazing how many of you guys already pre-ordered EVERYONE of these things.

It's gonna be so worth it!

I'm gonna put up a new shelf just for all these figures! Can't wait to display them next to my Club Nintendo Platinum Mario and Friends figure. I'm so excited to get these, and 12$ each is a pretty decent asking price.

 

[PSGames]

I'm in for Mario and Link.
