ToysRus in Odense. Check out their website for availability in specific stores. They still have him at many places. I bought mine in Gentofte.
Looks like the one closest to me with Little Mac in stock is in Holbæk, but that's still an hour with train. Not sure if it's worth it
 
TRU shipped out most the new ones. Kinda annoyed that I made one big order and they're shipping them individually.
 
There is apparently a store with Toon Link, Sheik and possibly Rosalina that I might check after work. But I already have all 3 coming to me from various stores online.

Has anyone ordered from walmart.com before? How is there handling of amiibos? Is it gonna be all bent up?

Order two or more and you should be fine.

Not to be needy, but if you already have a Sheik coming and don't want the Sheik from the nearby store, I'd totally take her :3

I ordered a Fox from them a while back, it was packaged properly. Not sure how reflective my experience is to their overall Amiibo shipping quality though.

I found 2 people here saying they had good packaging I've never had a package arrive undamaged from walmart.com personally. Everything I ever get looks like it dropped into a box on the floor from whatever shelf it it was on with no packing material.

To date I've returned 27 packages from Walmart.com of 28 ordered and that was a dvd...

I was thinking about this, but I already have a few extras that I cant find someone to trade/sell to. But if i do swing by there, ill pick up sheik and post on here.

I dont have a US rosalina, only a UK and a Jap version coming to me. Im tempted to have a US version.. but jesus christ.. who needs 3 rosalinas? The all US collection is pretty much dead to me at this point since I had to import the holy trinity...

Idk, we will see. If I can get Rosie and Sheik, ill post here and see if I can find any traders! I still need a sonic!
 
I'm getting disgusted by people trying to pass of amiibos that fell over as factory defects trying to make money off it

I don't even understand why people are buying them. usually when figures are missing parts, you get a replacement. not pay extra for them, lol
 
ok Amiibo GAF, i don't have time to check out the OT or whole topic, but i am heading to store very soon now to get some other stuff and they have a bunch of Amiibos on sale, now i know NOTHING about them just that i feel like grabbing only a few to display i guess. Since i don't have time to check out beforehand which ones are nicely detailed, well made, maybe somewhat rare or out of print, whatever matters here, can you guys just give me a couple of Amiibos that you'd consider the "best" or personal favorites ?

TLDR: recommend me some Amiibos!

All of them.

My personal favorites so far:

Rosalina & Luma
Bowser
Pit
Fox

Samus
Donkey Kong

The ones in bold are available, but difficult to find.

Mario, Kirby, Pikachu, Yoshi and Bowser are all common and some of the most well-made ones. Samus is great too, but not as common. Not exactly rare either though.

I dig the simple ones (that usually translate the best) like Kirby.

So currently: Kirby, Toon Link and Bowser (if you're going for a more detailed piece) are my favorites.

So uh, I have preorders at like, Toys R Us for Lucario, Gamestop for most of the Series, Best Buy for Meta Knight, and I haven't heard much from them at all. Should I be worried?
 
I've kinda gone amiibo mad. Managed to get all of them (waves 1,2,3) without pre-orders just by shop hunting and have been doing 8 player smash amiibo vs amiibo matches on twitch (that look like this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycqfS6-nM8c)

Got tired of writing down everything by hand so I wrote an app that does it, with crude integration with twitch chat and moobot :/

Is there an Amiibo Anonymous I can join?

GameStop should be fine if you're doing ship to home. The only reason I didn't order from them was the ridiculous handling charges per amiibo.
 
So um...yeah. It's been quite a week.

- SMB set ordered (including the elusive Toad) last week
- Shulk yesterday
- Rosie throughout the night, er...morning.
- And Ilk, Sheik, King DDD, Bowser, Toon Link just got dropped off.

So my son is set...until Friday's madness of trying to get him Lucario.

I had no idea who the hell this guy was, but that video was hilarious when he started opening the Amiibos. Though, I could see him being annoying after a while.
 
This whole Rosalina going up for pre-order at 3 am eastern might be my tipping point.

I'm seriously considering stopping collecting these. It just isn't fun, stressful and I'm getting tired of constantly refreshing browsers looking for an Ike and DeDeDe to show up or for wave 4 preorders to come up so I don't miss the chance to pre-order again.

I hate being a whiner but when I saw the tweet from future shop last night I was disgusted beyond belief. Who puts a pre-order up during those hours? It seriously feels sometimes like these places want the scalpers to win.

Ugh.
 
Should i start panicing and buy Fox on Amazon and just deal with paying $25?

hes the only one im missing besides the eventual releases of Sonic, Mega Man, Pac Man, and Ness.
