I thought that too. If I wasn't so scared of wearing white... (I'm cursed when it comes to light coloured shirts.)

Saaaame! :( They should make a black shirt with a Bob-omb face in there haha.

Ha! That's the first thing I noticed. If someone were to only want that (or anything other than an amiibo, really), would they have to wait in line!?

Waiting on the amiibo line if you only want to buy a game or anything that is not amiibo-related wouldn't be fair. Maybe you just tell the guard that you come to buy other things and do so freely. But then the checkout... to the amiibo line then!
 
Mega Man is my new favourite for sure.

His right eye is not weird looking like that. Reflection kept making it come up likely because of the packaging.
 
Hoping since Mega Man arrives with Sonic (who I preordered), I'll get lucky & nab one at GS at launch. Still don't get why GS is the last to get the 3rd party amiibo.
 
Sup folks. Just went to Toys R Us in Meadowbrook WV.

They have 5 Sheik's right now. I bought the 6th for my kid sister in law, but figured fuck it. Its too much work to keep chasing these things to sell em. Figured I'd post and let you know they are there. If someone would trade a Pitt for one i'll go buy ya a Sheik for the trade since the sister in law is a fangirl for him too, but other than that just thought I'd share.

Man that Toys R Us is a gold mine. I've found Captain Falcons, Toon Links, Sheiks, Marths, WFT, Villagers...just everything there.

Off topic... but this is my favorite Mario shirt. Came out during the New Super Mario Bros release. I have the tan Goomba one too.

On topic - no movement on Ike, Dedede, Meta, and Sonic from Best Buy yet for me. Amazon still doesn't know what's going on with Mega Man. Just having patience though. Not a race... except to get a pre-order in on the next wave. >.>

Wasn't it confirmed they actually don't have a street date and will be sold as soon as they come it?

That's what was said but it seems like most gs are still just holding on until the 13th regardless. Mine called me last week and said that 13th would be the pick up date for my amiibo preorders. So I don't think they will be putting them out any sooner at this point.

You got a pick up confirmation? I think you are the only one with GameStop preorders that did.
 
Would work out great for me if ours get them on Thursday since my class ends at 11:50ish & it only takes about 5 minutes to get to GS from my college.

I'll play it safe & call on Wed. as well.

That's great news... was hoping to walk in and pick them up on Friday, good to know they're on track.

Any word on Toon Link, Mega Man, Sonic?

TL and Sheik already got shipped out Friday so tomorrow?

Mr Needlemouse and Blue Astroboy are still on track for the 20th it seems

We just had the super mario amiibo go out in preorders, it's still coming.

Inreally don't think that means anything sadly. Retailers know that no matter how many Mario and Peach preorders they get, Nintendo will always send more lol.

But While I think preorders will happen it is a possibility that they won't. Especially at a place like Game Stop who prides itselves on preorders, if they can't fufill all preorders which happened this Wave, then it looks really bad on them. They may not do it unless Nintendo says exacly how many they will get, which they should.
 
Hey everyone,

I'm back, I've been working on some new Amiibo pictures. This is one of Rosalina and Luma. I'm still not sure about it, it is very different from the Sonic and Mario one. I'm not sure I captured things well. let me know your thoughts.

Looks very very good! The bottom maybe a bit to bright though...
 
I heard about FYE's amiibo releases, but the two closest ones don't do video games, and so they won't have amiibos.

My brother bought an extra Rosalina last week and is planning on sending it my way soon.
He also had an extra Lucario that he said he'd give me, but decided to keep it for collection purposes. He did, however, directed me to an order page to get it from Amazon.co.uk. Did it, but was an extra $5 and I won't get it until next Friday.

Ahh nice. I should be able to squeeze in a visit to Gamestop on Wednesday to pick up Toon Link then, if my local store gets him and starts selling him early (like they're supposed to) anyway.
 
you know what'd be cool, if you could just scan an amiibo on the Wii U home screen/Wara Wara Plaza and it would activate a theme/skin based on that character. just a neat way to give them some cosmetic functionality without requiring a game.

Oh man I'd love Wii U themes.

WHY ARE THERE NO F-ZERO/XENOBLADE/MOTHER THEMES ON THE 3DS.
 
Got an update from Amazon saying I will get Mega Man on Friday. Sheik and Sonic come tomorrow. Still waiting on Ike and Dedede to get shipping updates, but I ordered all of Wave 3 at the same time, so feeling positive about getting them at some point.
 
Now I kind of wish amiibo on 3DS could count as Streetpass Miis. Scan Mario, have a Mii that looks like Mario come to your plaza.

Holy balls. In my opinion, this is the best custom I've seen. Would be on-point if Nintendo did a sort of "Final Smash" series like this. I would say "limited series," but all amiibo are a limited series, aaaaaaaayyy.

This would be stellar. I'd love it if the amiibo just counted as a daily Streetpass, actually. Or even just gave you some coins. Would be great options for folks who don't live in metro areas.

So it seems like the best bet for a Mega Man in America is to hit up TRU on the morning of the 13th and, if that fails, GameStop on the morning of the 20th? Anyone else going to attempt this journey into Mordor?
