New thread already? We move quickly. Reading through the new thread now. Apparently there's a contest to get a Pit amiibo? If so, sign me up.

I thought I was higher since I kept dishing out amiibo light avatars, but you guys are insane. Maybe some day I'll be in the top 10.

Where did you get them acrylic stands?

The width is 12 inch on these, which happens to fit perfectly in the IKEA Detolf case I bought. If you get them, make sure your width is 12 inches. They make 9 inch models too.

Not done yet, but is the positioning and size of the sparkles okay? Sorry had to dig out the original on my PC, so been messing around with it.
Yea positioning and sparkles look good!
Does the version I post look good? I'm not sure if I'm just imagining it, or if that right side looks blurry? (The sparkle). I don't know why either. I keep using the original logo ones I've used before. Hmmm.
Here's the original:
Can you also make the white background translucent like my current avy?
Sorry that took so long. Making that transparent was not fun. I also noticed there were some white spots that were overlooked in your previous one but hopefully it looks good.
Oh... you jumped in too lol. Um I think that might be due to some leftover pixels. If you copy the image and just paste it into Photoshop (you know where it will auto add a black background due to you just copying and pasting something that has transparency, you'll notice that like on the right side of Lucina's hair, there's some leftover white or something.
Look's fine, just wanted the the right color scheme.. thanks again Mono!
Oo thanks for your transparency work! I'll use your version!

I picked up Lucario, Sheik, Toon Link, and Bowser yesterday from Toys R Us thanks to my pre order. Was able to get them all for $44 thanks to a special deal they had going on that ended that day.
I don't like pokemon, but I decided to get Lucario just in case.
A bit disappointed by Sheik...don't know why, she looks fine but there's something I don't like about her figure.
Bowser is pretty cool, although he's prone to QC issues especially around his claws, teeth, and eyes. He's big and heavy, probably the biggest of the amiibo currently released.
Toon Link...man, Toon Link is great, my favorite amiibo so far, probably one of the best Link figures ever released. He just looks really well made and his pose works.

Yeah, I know how you feel, dude. But this is a better guarantee than hopelessly finding one from store-to-store.
Intelliheath got the avatar amiibofied and is using it. Neo Dark also made one for you.
Ah okay, that sucks. I made his original avatar. Made most of the OT 2's community avatars. Transparent avatar's etc. BUT...couldn't figure out why the sparkle thing was looking that way. And yes, I was copying and pasting in place to try to move it over.
EDIT: I cleaned up the hair using the black backdrop (I usually do that, but for his I made it a while back and forgot. I made some mistakes on his oops). Going to re-do the sparkle then now.

OT3, here it is! Hey everyone, I'm very happy with the title, it's just the one I wanted!
So, went to Apex today, and sadly, I only got to the semifinals of my pool. So disappointed, but I made a hell of a showing with Mega Man, and even had a group of people watching; even the station coordinator was impressed with my streak! Next year I intend to go even farther, as this was only my first time doing a real tournament. Had a great time, and I'm glad for the experience. Not a single other Mega Man fighting there, surprisingly. Ah well, looking forward to a new tournament sometime soon. This was a lot of fun.

Quite happy with my limit on any Amiibo purchase so far. Hopefully I manage to snag a Ness preorder when they go up. Ike just shipped and Mega Man is coming done the pipe soon.
I actually saw some of the newer Amiibo for the first time yesterday. Is the clear stand the norm now? Be neat if some of the first waves got a reprint with that colourless stand.

yeah but man 40$... Crazy.
Ok so I've been driving like a mad man today looking for anything about wave 4 news from any retailer and guys... I got a weird vibe that stuff might go up Monday or Tuesday... Apparently FYE's are taking preorders and one random guy on reddit posted he found the wave 4 pages on amazon but they were gone after he refreshed a few times... I cant find the post now though
... Anyway no idea if true but well see... Wweird vibes...

Hate to ask, but would anyone mind amiibofying ol' EEGRA-slug for me?
Have a friend going to Target tomorrow morning for me while I'm in a staff meeting. Cross your fingers for me!

Hey amiibros, I'm happy to confirm that FYE is taking pre-orders on all of the Super Smash Bros Wave 4 and Super Mario series amiibo!!
I pre-ordered one of each figure from Wave 4 and only had to put $5 down on each one (I already pre-ordered the Super Mario series on Amazon or else I would've locked those down as well).
Also, the cashier that I spoke with was nice enough to let me take home a copy of their pre-order listing sheet which I've scanned in and uploaded on amiibros.com.
You can print/save the full-size image off my site, but here's a preview for reference:
If you print out the document and bring it to your local FYE, they should be able to process your pre-orders using the provided SKUs (I've circled the Wave 4 SKUs for easy reference).
Hope that helps!!
Also, hooray for OT3!

Semifinals?! That's still pretty good! Glad the weather ddidn't mess things up too bad.
Ugh, I'm starting to question if I need to cut back on amiibo in order to afford a New 3DS XL. Budget kind of took a blow when I had to buy groceries & then shipping two packages out on Friday. At the very least, Wave 4 is quite a while away after this.
Maybe I'll get lucky & someone will buy some of my games like Skyward Sword + the pre-order OST in the BST thread.

I know, but I had given up with getting a Meta Knight Amiibo through local means, so I had no choice but to order one online.
Ahh I see. Yeah, backdrops definitely help. I remember making an avatar on the avatar request thread once without using a backdrop. Turns out, I actually got rid of part of the picture but didn't notice since I wasn't using both a black and white backdrop. As for the blur, it might also just be the glow in Lucina's hair combined with the transparency that is giving us a blurry different perception.

Once again. Why are you not amiibofieid yourself soldier lol
Speaking of avatars, I realized just now that Rosailna is not in mine. I need to get rid of something and put her in... Kind of sad since I've been a Rosailna fan since the moment she appeared when playing Super Mario Galaxy
I saw your chart... then read the bolded part as the Super Bowl. Thought we were betting amiibos on the Super Bowl or something.

Btw, since we're in OT3 now, for anyone who didn't read it yet, 2 things:
1. My friend at Target has informed me that his store received 44 Rosalinas, to be sold tomorrow, and that his supervisor has imposed a 1 per customer limit. That doesn't necessarily seem to be an official store policy, just a counter measure for scalpers. So, if you need more than one, bring a friend along. He says he doubts 44 Rosalinas will sell out in one day, given their amiibo sales up 'til now, but this is an exclusive, after all. Diffrrent ball game.
2. Some of you already know, but I'm currently on a quest to make this happen in real life:
I'm on the hunt for 7 of these bad boys, since I only have one preordered myself. If anyone can get their hands on extras for me, I'd be willing to exchange them for retail price + shipping, or maybe an exchange if I can get something you want. Anyone who'd be willing to help would be true heroes to me, because I can't wait to have the set of 7 and send them out on commission to be recolored. Pics will follow, and they'll be glorious! PM or reply if you can help. Thank you!
Good luck to everyone with their Rosalinas tomorrow. I'm even gonna see if I can get my hands on any for possible trades, if my Target friend can help make it happen. I'll report back with that.

Lol I definitley can't use that top. Dunno how TheBatman does.
No problem no problem. Though you should really use Azula/Mononoke's (damn I'm still not used to your new name. Have to constantly double check it.)
Didn't think of putting the sparkles on the boobs =P
Yeah was a joke one. Don't use that one.
Someone else actually did the boob thing earlier, so I was just calling back to that one. But def a good way to get yelled at.
You not thinking of it, means you are a good person.pete_clarf

I think it's a super cool idea and I would be all about helping but I know that I, along with a few others here haven't even managed to get one Megaman. When and if this supply issue is fixed I would love to see this.
Because he is TheGoddamnBatman.
