I like the Peach one too!
For me it goes...
Toad > Luigi > Peach.
Not interested in any of the other.

Yea that's the only one I got from the Mario line
Alright, I'm thinking about giving up my quest for Little MacSo if anyone needs an extra Rosalina I'm thinking about selling her at cost + shipping.
I'm holding on to an extra Little Mac to trade if I potentially miss out on any of the smash line. If I miss something I'll trade you it, or if I get them all I'll just sell it to you. Keep my name in mind and I'll hopefully be able to hook you up.

Luigi and Bowser are definitely pick-ups for me. Not sure about the rest.
If Dry Bones gets announced, he will jump to #1.

(This one has a guy that says his order was quick, and the Fed-Ex shipping was spot on).
Ah yeah? I think Bowser in Smash is way better. Details on his amiibo is insane. Then again, I guess I'll have to wait and see what these Mario Party ones look like in person. really curious.
EDIT: Do people not like Smash Bowser Amiibo?
Yeah I'm curious to see how it looks. May have to make a separate display.
you'll get it, but it may not be quick and dealing with their customer service is terrible. Still, if you're dead-set on getting it, it's a good option.

From what I used, they are really bad CS but once they ship it was very quick and easy.
Their main problem is taking forever to ship. According to them they are shipping Amiibos on the 12th.

Wow, awesome. You didn't have to do that, but once again, thanks. I think I'm gonna give it a shot.

I just got my Pit that I ordered on 12/24 in the mail! They (Toys R' Us) also sent me a bonus scented marker!!!
Right?
I don't know what it is about this design but it has a generic peach feel to it? Maybe it's the face but I remember a lot of people thought it looked weird when her page was first show on the official site.
It's funny because her final smash has some nice drawings of her. Why wasn't the design more like this?
I think her face looks a bit lifeless

Peach has never really looked right in Smash Bros

Hatchtag, Slysoul, thanks for the feedback. I think I'm gonna go ahead and do the order. Pricier than Nippon-Yassan, but not by too too much. Hopefully there are no issues that require me to deal with this allegedly terrible CS.
After shipping, each Mega Man'll cost me about $25. Up there, but it could be worse. Better than waiting and seeing if it's even widely available over here. Gonna be pissed if stores are well stocked here in the US, though.

I caved and order this a few days back
Saw a toon link in fred Meyers
That is so awesome. I remember those markers from back in first grade. Can't believe I forgot all about them. What was the reason for it? Apology for the trouble or just advertising?I just got my Pit that I ordered on 12/24 in the mail! They (Toys R' Us) also sent me a bonus scented marker!!!
Her face looks kind of dumb in the mario party one though.
I think it'ts the shape of the mouth and the angle of her eyes. Looks like Peach on some Xanax.

The thing with peach is that I like the Mario series pose better but the dress is 100 times better in the smash series

I have to agree that the Smash Peach is much better than Super Mario Peach
My Lucario shipped! Woohoo.
My Gamestop in-store pickup orders are probably "closed" now too. I put $5 on all 6 of the amiibo I preordered there so I should be good to go as soon as they get them in. Would be cool if stores do get Shulk and maybe others in tomorrow like some were saying.

Modern peach always looks like this. Google fire peach official art and she looks downright insaneHer face looks kind of dumb in the mario party one though.

No problem.
My experience was ordered on 1/15, they shipped on 1/28 and received it on 1/29.
Feel free to ask me since I am relying on importing for my n3DS.
I really do not get the logic that digital is more expensive than retail + shipping...

I truly have no idea. Advertising, I guess? It's not on the invoice or anything. The way it was packaged... the marker was the first thing I saw and I thought they sent me the wrong thing. My wife is a teacher, so she can probably find a use for it.
Lol you're good. The more they introduce new versions for same characters, there will be those that like one over the other.
For me, so far the texture quality (especially the clothes) is better on the Smash Line. But Mario Party line is more "classic" mario. Which is kind of a good thing and a bad thing. I thin the poses and the overall looks can be better. But at the same time, I kind of feel iffy on how they look vanilla and plastic
. It's hard to explain. But like, some of the 3D render's of Rosalina (like in Mario Kart 8)...looks odd to me. And the Mario Party line is more like those.I actually like the Peach Mario Party one. But her face does look kind of herp derp.
EDIT: Nvm, guess you did start a debate over this. hahah. I'm still on your side!
Yeah. And that kind of ties into my post above. Not the biggest fan of some of the modern 3D rendering of these characters (as they look weird sometimes). Great for games, but not so good when you look at the actual character models out of context. Which is where I think the Smash one is better sometimes (I think their models in game look better, and then their models out of context -- like amiibos, can look better).
I really really really can't wait to see the Mario Party one's unboxed though. Curious to see how they look, because pics are deceiving.

We're discussing Amiibo over here.
Smash Peach >>>>> Mario Peach. Smash looks like a statue. Mario Peach's dress and stupid facial expression make her look like a Playskool toy.

Oh yeah, Best Buy gave me an update in that they only received Sheik, Bowser, and Toon Link yesterday. They think the next shipment is 2/22.

Hmm.. Quick someone do a photoshop of MP peach wearing the smash dress and vise versa
Yeah, the actual stock for first Day Wave 3 was pathetic. Most people could only get Bowser and Toon Link (although I guess Toon Link was harder to find than I thought). Sheik had very very low supply.
Was? Big Boy's still exists. And you're right, Mario looks a lot like the frickin' Big Boy there.
[edit] beaten DAMN this slow work computer
lol omg
That is great. Hahha. Yeah there is something kind of off on the new 3D renders of the Super Mario bros characters. IN GAME and in motion they look fantastic. But out of context, they look...very very odd to me. Like, really plastic/toy(ish). This is what I was talking about, really.
I dunno. That's why I feel like the smash line so far is looking better (just because in game and out of game their style holds up a bit more IMO).

Both but in the Midwest I would say Big Boy is more prominent.
Hmm.. She's just excited she gets to kill goombas with fire balls for once. It's kind of like the first time you're handed a water gun or something. You just want to go all out with it.

A new one just hit today! Amazon.FR said to expect delivery last Wednesday but I order from overseas all the time and have never waited this long. I figure I'll give it another week or so before I reach out in horrible machine-translated french.
