[QUOTE="D";152013230]I agree. Her and Ike were beaten with the ugly stick this go around..but she definitely took the brunt of the punishment. Ike looks worse after the downgrade but Sheik, to me, looks plain ol half assed[/QUOTE]

Yeah given how great Shulk looks, I have no idea why they screwed up Marth and Ike's faces so badly.
 
Does anyone else find the Sheik to be kinda disappointing? It's so small and light and I think it just doesn't look as good compared to the likes of Bowser and De3
I actually think Sheik looks great tbh.

Her face is extremely pale compared to her hands though. Probably my only complaint.
 
Hey! Everyone that posted their info in the AmiiboGAF member info (steam, PSN, Xbox Live, Nintendo Network ID) should add everyone else too! I'd hate to think that I just wasted a bunch of time typing in a bunch of 3DS friend codes! One person had already added me, so thanks Rocky!

For people who don't know... quote the original post for the link. I think you have to PM Diggeh to get your info added.

EDIT: I'm going to do XBox Live right now.
 
I have a feeling DDD will go up while I'm sleeping so good luck to everyone!

I feel you. I know this will be one of those nights where I wake up every few hrs to check Gaf to see if there are any updates. Sad but true.

Off topic but if anyone else needs to stop by BB on the 20th for Amiibos and wants to pick up a gaming chair for 10 bucks here you go! It is 60 bucks off. Some say it is a bit small but its 10 bucks! I am getting one for my daughter. It is 10 bucks!

I had the opportunity to examine and pick out my pre-order for Sheik from a box of 16, and it was nearly impossible to find one that didn't have a glaring paint flaw. Even though I picked out what I thought was the best-looking of that batch, Sheik's figure is definitely not as good as I hoped for. I hate how her bangs have a seam right through the middle of them.
 
Hehe, this one is pretty good! xD

Here's another:

Seems like a good deal, but "color of the product is selected at random". I don't know how I could live with myself if I ended up with the "Triangular Camo" one. Do they have them in stores where you could choose the color? Doesn't seem like any near me have any.
 
I picked up Shiek and Toon Link at GS today. I also received Shulk in the mail. They are expecting tall guy with sword, the hedgehog, the blue bomber, and the fat guy next friday.
 
Holy shit the Amiibo game is ridiculous.

I don't think there's any chance I'm gonna get my hands on Mega Man or Sanic.

Ike? Fucking lol.

Hit four Targets, a Walmart, a TRU, and multiple Gamestops.

None of them had any when I got there.

Dude, Mega Man only came out at TRU today. Sonic was only at TRU and Best Buy. Ike hasn't come out anywhere yet, unless you had a preorder at TRU or f.y.e.

Walmart and GameStop should have all three of them on Feb. 20, though. Target may never have them in stores, though — just online.

not sure if this is clear but there were pegs for all 3B at Target today. thought i missed them but I saw these.
 
Wonder what I can get for a Dedede atm.

Having it is like bordering on the 'OCD' urge to collect them all, when I just want to collect my favorites, since I never cared for Dedede. Would have preferred Ike even though I have him preordered at GS

I was looking for Pit, Shulk, Lucario, Rosalina or Meta Knight.

Just seeing what's out there.

I know. Most Targets have hooks up for them. The planograms that employees received at the end of January call for them to put those there. But after the Rosalina fiasco two weeks ago, word has circulated that Target will sell Wave 3b online only. We have no release dates for Wave 3b at Target's physical stores, but we have release dates for every Wave 3 Amiibo at every other store, even Meta Knight.

Meanwhile, Target put up Mega Man, Sonic and Ike on its website periodically today, the first it's sold those figures at all. Those probably were going to be released in brick-and-mortar stores today, with King Dedede likely to come next Friday, but instead they've debuted on the website only. It's looking increasingly likely that Wave 3b is online only at Target.

*Apparently preorders only?
 
I have a feeling that there's going to be enough posts to fill an entire OT on just the day Wave 4 pre-orders get announced. Whether it's good news or bad, exclusives or not, there's enough pent up hype about it to fill 400 pages easily :D

Oh man, I just saw this one. That's really freakin' clever, haha! Nice!

Heading out for the night. Gonna spend time with the fiancé, being Valentine's Day now and all.

To all you couples out there, and hell, to anyone else, have a great day with cool people, and maybe eat some fancy chocolate and watch "I Love You, Man", because that movie is just hilarious and delightful!

Later!
 
Hey people. I haven't really posted in any Amiibo threads since I haven't been collecting any, but the single one I really wanted to get arrived in the mail today.


Considering how much I love Xenoblade, I knew I had to get Shulk. As someone with no prior experience with the line, I have to say the level of detail is fantastic. It's much higher quality than I expected for the price.

Well dont expect that same detail on others. You happened to get probably one of the best looking ones so far. Especially of a human face. Shulk, Fox, and Bowser so far are my favs.
 
Well the Ike shipped from Target. Just waiting on Sonic and Mega Man. I was pretty bummed after striking out on Amiibos in person and having to wait until Monday for the MH4U n3DS to arrive. Target sure made my day today. That is if the other 2 actually ship.
 
I decided to display my boxed amiibo on my bedroom wall. Eventually they'll all be in character select screen formation. Since all my loose amiibos are displayed at my gf's house I can look at these when I'm stuck at home.

Upset I didn't pre-order shulk and meta knight there gonna be a pain to get unless I import for $35 a piece. As for my other wave 3 waiting on GameStop to get my ike, king dedede, sonic and mega man in and then its just the waiting game till ness, pacman, and wario go up for preorder.
 
Got Sonic today, and Megaman and Ike shipped as well. Now the wait for 3D. My wife is hating this hobby.


Yes! Family reactions to amiibos continuing to come in are hilarious.

*first amiibo arrives* "Wow! That's really cool! I love Mario!"

*fifth amiibo arrives* "Oh, you got another one of those things? Neat..."

*twentieth amiibo arrives* "This needs to stop"

I've been adding one at a time and so far my boyfriend hasn't noticed. I think once my Sonic, Mega Man, and Meta Knight arrive he might get wise to my operation.
