I would buy the whole cast off you if you do me a set
 
Thanks to thisbejason, got half of Wave 3 done. Meta Knight + Dede comes on monday. Shulk ships soon from PlayAsia.

So all I need is Sonic and Mega Man.

I like your original better! Keep it.

Finally out of the Rosalina phase huh.

Rosalina is still my fav. But just thought the whole anime/paltunea stuff is silly.

Ike looks glorious. I can't wait for mine, no ETA with best buy.com's Ike's.

Looks infinitely better in person. I'm using my shitty phone to take the pic, so the lighting on the top looks much brighter than it is (especially when you aren't focusing on it and taking shots from a low angle).

I didn't like the old Ike that much. His face looked a lot like Walt Jr from Breaking Bad based on the close up pics on Amazon.

Excited to hear he looks better in person.

Assuming we only do ONE tournament....basically it would go like this:

Step 1: Figure out how many amiibos we have to give away. As that will determine how many contestants we will need.

Step 2: Organize the modbot raffle, have it draw all the winners at random who gets to join the tournament.

Step 3: Have the actual tournament. We use your already open Amiibos to do this.

Step 4: The results of the tournament will determine who gets to pick first from the prize pool.

The number of contestants entering can't go past the number of amiibos we have giving away. The final rankings from the tournament determines who gets to pick first (you can only pick ONE amiibo from the prize pool).

That sound right?

That sounds amazing.
 
I'm thinking about going to Target tonight to map out shortcuts and do a couple dry runs. Our maybe set up a 1:1 scale Target electronics department at my house.

Looks very nice. I see you got a name change. How've you been?
 
Not even gonna rush to Target in the morning. Mostly doing it to have something to do. I want one of all of them, but it's ok if I don't get one. It is after all just a toy.

Best of luck to everyone sleeping in their cars for one...don't get too cold out there.

Talked to my closest Target they are restricting to 2 Rosalinas per person which is awesome. Im gonna try to grab 2 to help some amiibro out if needed. We will see I am in a foreign city to me so no idea what the situation is here with traffic.
 
I am sorry Amiibros it was just too busy to look up more cities. Do the method I posted about with the dpci and it'll give a count for your local store

Interesring. So it's 2 and not 1? Wonder if that's only your local Target and not what everyone will do. Either way, good luck tomorrow :)

Awesome! I don't think the face is too bad, I love the rest of the figure though. Just witing for my pre-order to come in
Click to expand...

It's werid they can get so much small detail right on the figure but then the face comes out weird.

Even expensive figures I own have weird faces.
 
Wave 3 almost complete... 8/11.

Still waiting on BB for Meta Knight and amazon.ca to ship out my Mega Man and Sonic. The say Feb.20 for Sonic but no estimate for MM yet...
 
GameStop called me this morning to confirm my Ike pre-order has been delayed until Feb. 13th but nothing about Shulk. He is slated for the 20th, right?

We're doing 1 per person at my store. Unless it's like a mom/dad with two kids or something of that nature.

And Sac gaf, there are 4 left I'm allowed to hold, I'll be in my store at 4am tomorrow, LET ME KNOW if you're picking yours up at the Fulton and alta arden store and I'll hold one for you until closing.

Well fuck. I used Rosalinas DCPI 207-00-5021 and all 15 targets near me say NO stock. Even though it's on sale tomorrow they should show stock tonight right?

No, the amiibos that would battle it out would be MY amiibos... not the ones that are being given away.

Here is what I'm thinking (I just sent this to Mononoke). I hope I'm explaining well.


So, we have Modbot pick 16 people. Those 16 people get entered in a tournament. Those 16 people pick ANY amiibo that they want as long as it's one that has come out. Then, I use my own amiibos in Smash Bros. (I'd erase them all back to level 1 to make it fair). So, let's say contestant 1 picks Peach and contestant 2 picks Kirby. Peach beats Kirby, so that means whoever picked Kirby is out and whoever picked Peach still has a chance to win! I was thinking the winner would get one amiibo.

BUT, if we have 16 amiibos to give away, maybe all 16 people could win an amiibo... but maybe whoever gets 1st place would get first pick. 2nd place gets 2nd pick...all the way down to the poor person who gets 16th place and gets stuck with a Pikachu or something (but at least they still get something).
Click to expand...
I'm in for this. I'll take any chance to get a free amiibo. :D

Also called my target. "Never heard of Rosalina. Wait for truck for to tomorrow. No, she's not in the back, yes I REALLY REALLY DID check."

FML in advance.
