No palutena?

 

[LumpOfCole]

I preordered Donkey Kong since he's the only one I want. He'll be a fun desk figure.

 

[Phil S.]

I'm a total sucker for this shit so...

IM GETTING THEM ALL!

...sometimes I wonder what I'm doing with my life. XD

Living the dream!

 

[braves01]

No palutena?

I think they said there will be an Amiibo for everywhere Smash char, so she's just not in the first wave.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Hmm. I'll obviously get them all as I'm a figure collector and own several Nintendo products already. I'll wait for an obvious sale as I see Skylanders and Disney Infinity have Buy get 1 50% off regularly.

Still I want one for launch. I'm a huge Metroid fan and the figure looks really nice. I much prefer the pose shown than one where's she's aiming her arm cannon. But I'm a ZSS main and I own her figma already. I think I'll get Wii Fit Trainer as my initial as she is the newcomer who I'm most looking to add to my character rotation.

I may get Samus and Link during the first sale.

I really want to know how they'll be used in other games. Mario Kart and Mario Party make sense, especially with Villager and Link now coming to the former. But what about Captain Toad? So far none of the Smash characters look to be in the game.

It would be nice if all Amiibos could be used in all games. Otherwise certain ones will only be good for Smash while Mario will be the best usable one.

Welp.

The Metroid thirst is real.

 

[Triz]

I preordered all of them at best buy. I have a problem.

 

[TheXfactor]

[deadcelledo]

I just want Ike.

Spoiler

[LiveFromKyoto]

Is there seriously no Luigi!? He had a year and everything : /

 

[JNA]

Is there seriously no Luigi!? He had a year and everything : /

Since the rise of Death Stare Luigi, they probably canned the original Luigi design and are finishing up the Luigi Death stare figure instead.

 

[Platy]

C'mon Link you can DO IT !

 

[vinnygambini]

C'mon Link you can DO IT !

B E L I E V E

 

[EightBitNate]

Surprised Fox is doing so well

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Just went and pre-ordered DK and Fox. I might get Villager, Mario and Samus at some point, but a lot of the characters I really want are going to be coming in other waves.

 

[Defect]

Buying Samus, Kirby, Mario, and Link. The rest later.

 

[pupcoffee]

If the roster leaks are real, I badly want a

amiibo. It'd be so charming.

 

[Lambtron]

Samus, Wii Fit Trainer, and Villager are my first purchases. And I'll probably get Peach for my wife.

 

[JNA]

C'mon Link you can DO IT !

How is Command and Conquer at 4? 0_0

Kinda curious how the more obscure characters will sell .... Game & Watch, Olimar, the spoiled one above .... even Lucas

 

[Kusagari]

It's 17 games for 5 bucks.

 

[Zeyphersan]

It's 17 games for 5 bucks.

For real. I'm tempted to grab that shit, that's a great price

 

[JNA]

*grabs credit card*

XD

Also the $10 PS card just took the 2 spot. Link now at 3.

 

[BY2K]

C'mon Link you can DO IT !

Nintendo is gonna laugh its way to the bank with this stuff.

It's amazing how all this time, the savior of the Wii U could very well be Amiibos.

Seriously, does anybody have the chalkboard? We might have found our answer here. XD

 

[bumpkin]

Oh man, $10.39 apiece with the Gamers Club Unlocked discount at Best Buy? SOLD!

 

[Drkirby]

I preordered 2, Link and Kirby. I will likely end up with a ton of these things.

 

[Mine01]

I'll wait to see what they add to existing games (basically mario kart 8).

But i for sure want to grab a couple of them.

 

[Effect]

At the price they're being offered I'm willing to dive right in with four figures. Link, Samus, Mario, and Peach to start.

 

[AlphaStriker]

The Kirby one is so adorable!

 

[dryuriev7777]

Just pre-ordered Peach, Marth, and Samus. I'll probably have them all pre-ordered at some point.

Now give me Shulk and Palutena

and Lucina

and Mega Man

 

[Meffer]

Preordering from Amazon only takes your money when it ships, right? Not when you preorder?

 

[Zeyphersan]

That is correct

 

[Meffer]

That is correct

Thanks! I preordered Kirby, Peach and Samus. Peach's figure is amazing.

 

[DooD1234]

Hmm, should I preorder? I want Mario, Peach, Link, Samus, and Marth the most for the first wave. I think that like $65 there. Hmm, maybe I get Link and Peach first. I'm going to be so broke with all these Nintendo stuff, Wallet am Cry indeed.

 

[JNA]

Also can't wait for the Pit, Zelda, Robin and Lucina figures...

Or whatever else they give us. XD

 

[Kageshinzo]

Damn. The only things trending up in the list are the Amiibos. You guys are fucking crazy. Lol.

 

[serenewarfare]

I wonder what the over/under is on how long until Sony and/or MS try jump on this obvious cash cow before realizing after manufacturing thousands that they don't have characters with the name value or recognition to sell it like Nintendo. I'd say a year. Maybe.

 

[Platy]

Nope, just look at the clock

Spoiler

To be fair, it is not only wiiu owners (or even nintendo console owners) who are going to buy these =P

 

[SM239]

Pre-ordered Mario, Link, Samus, and Kirby

Now I need Dedede, Megaman, and Pacman

That they'd have to sell an add-on to scan them would limit their appeal even further compared to Amiibos.

Don't we have a similar thing already called Skylanders? 0_0

 

[serenewarfare]

Pre-ordered Link and only Link. For now. My wallet weeps at my lack of willpower going forward though.

 

[Meffer]

I think he meant with Sony and MS solely.

 

[DooD1234]

You know, according to amazon, if Samus is selling well I can't imagine how well Zero Suit Samus will sell lol.
