Should I pre order these or just wait till they release in my local store?

 

[Pikma]

I'll be there, for all of them, day one

 

[outunderthestars]

Best Buy has them available now. The best part is that your gamers club unlock discount works with the figures. They come up 10.39 each!

Awesome! Just canceled my Amazon preorder and switched it to Best Buy.

 

[tenchir]

Let me guess this straight. If I were to buy the Link figurine, it would work with NFC enabled games that features him like Smash Bros WiiU, Mario Kart 8(DLC), and Legend of Zelda WiiU? It only works with Link and not other characters in the LoZ franchise like Zelda/Shiek?

 

[Dominator]

In for them all. Thank god I didn't get into Skylanders because this and Disney Infinity are going to kill me.

 

[batfax]

I will buy Ness amiibos every chance I get whenever his rolls around. I will have a row of Nesses. If they fell over, it would be a mess of Ness.

Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness.

 

[Drilbit777]

Definitely getting he Marth one. It looks awesome.

 

[QuixoticNeutral]

I absolutely do not expect to be able to keep up with a 100% collection long-term, so I'm not going to fall into the trap of buying up the whole first set. But the original, frugal plan of holding out for one and only one figure, preferably the one I want most (Toon Link), is a total bust. I'll be picking up one or two of the first set just to try them out. Yes, just one or two. I'll keep telling myself that.

 

[ChosenPredator]

this is the type of stuff thats get sold out for ages

 

[LoveCake]

I will get the Villager one as he looks a bit like me, but i will paint his jumper to match my Mii (see my avatar).

 

[Popnbake]

When is this supposed to be coming to 3DS?

The old 3DS gets Amiibo support sometime in 2015 and the new 3DS will have the capability built-in.

 

[PontyfaxJr]

December 31st? I assume that's just a place holder date.
I intend to have all 48-odd Smash amiibos anyway.

 

[Meffer]

Crap, maybe I should preorder Kirby and Peach? This seems like Smash figures will constantly sell out.

 

[Cosmic Dreams]

anyone?

 

[-Horizon-]

So...anyone gonna use these Smash Amiibos as chess pieces?

anyone?

I mean do you really REALLY want them? Or you're like worried that there might not be enough offered at your store? Then preorder them. There's no harm in preordering what you want to make sure you get it.

 

[Popnbake]

anyone?

Wouldn't hurt to pre-order just in case.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

I'll probably get Wario and Shulk if they make them. They are planning to make an amiibo of every smash character, right?

 

[johnsavage]

Fuck my wallet! This appeals to the kid in me as well as the Nintendo fan. I can't refuse!

 

[outunderthestars]

anyone?

How are we supposed to answer you? What harm comes from preordering on Amazon and just having them shipped to your home?

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Are all the original ones shown being released in the first wave? I need that Marth figurine. So damn nice! Also will likely get Kirby and Fox from that grouping. Can't wait see the other Fire Emblem characters and Shulk! My goodness, I want Shulk!

I'm not begging and pleading, but I would buy some for my studio to display! If anything, i'm not sure if they would sell out quick but I would assume they eventually would. I think i'll go ahead with the best buy deal and pre order them so I can pick them up come release day.

Wouldn't hurt to pre-order just in case.

True. Thanks guys!

 

[Busaiku]

As I said in Figure GAF, the more complex designs just don't hold up.
Wanted Marth and Link, but they look awful.
Hope Pit turns out ok, but I'm pessimistic.

Pikachu and Kirby are fine, but that's due to their more simplistic designs.

At least I don't have to worry about losing too much.

 

[Rats Off To Ya]

I'm not even sure if I'll get Smash, but I want Bowser and Bowser Jr. figures if/when they become available. Those magnificent sons of bitches.

Yep - I probably won't wait the gajillion yeas it will take Nintendo to release Ness and Little Mac figures, if they ever do. I'll probably get Samus just so I can have a play around with what's increasingly looking to be the future of Nintendo

 

[OmegaFax]

I'm thinking about buying one, breaking off the NFC part in the base, using a 3D printer, some paint, and making a Mii one.

 

[$h@d0w]

preordering everything and one of each new 3ds

 

[Kouriozan]

Meh, only buying Kirby.

Spoiler

Then everything else!!!

 

[Dragonborn]

Best Buy has them available now. The best part is that your gamers club unlock discount works with the figures. They come up 10.39 each!

Yes! I was hoping the GCU would apply, totally going to do it. Buying all of them

Only issue is they charge right away so I'll probably wait till it's closer to release

 

[dreamfall]

Preordered Peach and Samus! AYYYOOO!

 

[Green Yoshi]

Any chance that Disney Infinity for WiiU supports Amiibo? There are some Gamecube games by EA with Nintendo characters.

 

[Niraj]

I preordered the Samus one since that one looks pretty sweet. Probably will get some of the other ones/future ones at some point, but it really depends on the functionality and quality.

 

[ironcreed]

I like the labeling for these. Very catchy, as is the name as well. I can see this being really successful for them.

 

[mugwhump]

Your amiibo will be able to increase its attack and defense stats and even learn new fighting tactics.

This is the most interesting thing for me. Would be cool if they'd actually implemented some machine learning stuff.

 

[Jzero]

I want link but he looks like shit. I hope there's a toon link that looks as smooth as kirby.

 

[PontyfaxJr]

This is the most interesting thing for me. Would be cool if they'd actually implemented some machine learning stuff.

I kind of hope you can make two amiibos fight each other so I can be smug about how great my fighter is. Also I love your avatar.

 

[Cosmic Dreams]

Pre ordered Mario, Villager, and Pikachu!

 

[jeffers]

pretty sure they said this in the initial vids. Also to your quoted: they learn and adapt to fight styles (same vids).

 

[Toki767]

I only really want Samus, but I really would like to see how she looks in person first.

 

[spawnsniper]

My wallets telling me noooo, but my body! My bodddyyyyys telling me yeeeeehhheeessss!

 

[Cilla]

They are $20AUD
Anyway I will definitely pick up Villager, Pikachu and Kirby!

 

[InsuRn]

Samus will be mine !
I would like to see the who will be in the next batch.

 

[Zonic]

Yup, they actually grow stronger when fighting other amiibos in comparison to just fighting the in-game CPU.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Will there be a shulk amiibo?

 

[Jeels]

Kind of interesting Pitts not there considering he was at E3.

I think ill go with animal crossing villager.

 

[Piers]

Give me a Master Hand amiibo.
Completely eff the competition.

 

[Rootbeer]

Shulk better get an amiibo.

How am I expected to buy both these AND Disney infinity 2.0 stuff?

Siiiiiiiiiigh.

 

[jmizzal]

Will pick up the Link Amiibo with my Smash Bros purchases, need Zero Suit Samus to come out too

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Will there be a Ridley amiibo?

 

[rockmanjoe]

I will buy Kirby, Mario and Yoshi.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Shulk better get an amiibo.

Siiiiiiiiiigh.

Remember the smash 64 into


Smash beats Disney
