No difference at all on the actual amiibo. The packaging is slightly different, but still reads in English primarily, with other languages as well. Definitely feel encouraged to import, especially if they're going to be opened.

So he can read English. He'll just see a mutli-language box? That's not so bad at all as long as the toy itself isn't covered in German or French or Italian on the bottom. Thanks!
 
I still like the numbers on the euro versions but since i started with a Murica amiibo i will get only america amiibos
Dude, your last few posts have me hearing Hank Hill's voice whenever you reply, thanks to all the talk of USA shipping and now Murica and america amiibos, haha!

No worries, they're all exactly the same. You're welcome!

I think he's talkin' like Hank Hill on purpose, and I have absolutely no problem with this. Carry on, man!

If a single non-American amiibo gets into your collection with foreign postage, I'd imagine you're liable to go:

"BWAAAH!"

Edit: frisky, this should be your avatar, though I can't argue with your current, wall-eyed face one!
 
I have 3 Rosalinas from 3 different regions (I love her!), so I decided to take some pictures of the differences.

Here's the front of them. It's JP -> EU -> NA



Here's the back. Again, it's JP -> EU -> NA



Here is also a comparison of the bottoms which are exactly the same. It's a JP Rosalina -> EU Villager -> NA Little Mac

Excellent post! It's nice that they're region free, so people who just want to open them can import for cheaper than selling your soul on eBay. I'm sticking to all NA anyway!

Seems like you really like Rosalina, almost as much as I love Mega Man!
 
1 in the morning. Wake up accidentally. Check gaf for any wave 4 updates. None. Question what am I doing in life. Go back to bed. Will probably check again in a few hrs. Who needs REM sleep?

Haha Hank Hill is a god.

Do you sell American Amiibos and American Amiibo accessories? I also only buy NA amiibo even if it is harder.

Yes, Mr Strickland branched out an amiibo and amiibo accessories chain of stores

Interesting list because my TRU had two racks full of Sheik and two Toon Links available. Maybe I should have bitten. Meh, I feel so burned out and burned by this whole process.
 
It's currently 1:26am, Feb 16th on the east coast.

According my my Amazon order for my Link amiibo, it's still on time for delivery.

I'll be here before 5 1/2 hours ago
 
So, 5 GameStops relatively within my area still have Shulks. What do you guys think the odds are that they'll sell them to me tomorrow? Has anyone had any luck picking up "expired preorder" Shulks or are they still holding him?

I saw several posts on reddit today about that very thing like thanks for not picking up your preorder or look at what I found at GS. try it
 
After multiple delays, I'm reallllly hoping GameStop actually gets the amiibos they're supposed to get this week. Need my Ike/DDD/Mega Man/Sonic

Awesome. I'll call around before opening then and see how that pans out.

I really don't see anything getting pushed past the 20th.

I'm just wondering how many extras they'll be getting in of Dedede... Only one outside of Meta Knight I haven't locked down in any way.
 
Sonic finally arrived. Just waiting on Dedede to get here and hopefully will pick up a Meta Knight pre order on Friday.

Nintendo really knocked it out of the park with this wave. Bowser, Sonic, Mega Man, Toon Link and Dedede look particularly amazing, I think.

edit: Thoraxes is right, Shulk looks great too. The others look alright (except I don't really like Lucario. First one I haven't liked)

Don't forget Shulk!

Oh my.

I can't believe my OT title might not even last a month. You guys are crazy! :P
 
Can we please not give the attention whore what they want? They are banned. Fuck em and move on.

And I can't believe people are putting Little Mac in S tier rarity? I guess I really lucked out ordering him... I still need a villager and WFT though.

I think there should be more in that bracket personally. Funny enough, I went to a TRU looking for stuff when that wave hit. Saw so many Macs that day.
 
Nice, Amazon US updated my Ike shipping status. Should be getting him later this week! I ordered him back in November.

And he should compliment my Mega Man from Amazon US as well this week
 

I haven't tried to order one this morning, but last week when that happened to me with Ike I just kept trying, and it eventually went through.

Edit: Well, now it is gone....buuuut just in case it goes up again later keep trying because sometimes it does work!
 
Got my order update from Amazon on Ike. I should get him on Thursday. Then assuming Best Buy has a Meta Knight for me for pickup, my Wave 3 will be complete.
