do we know what Lucina's Amiibo looks like?

Maybe she'll have a neon pink stand for her sword, hilt, and her hair. :P
 
Got Rosalina. She wasn't listet online, however, I found her behind some other amiibo in the store. Pure luck.

Only Zelda and Little Mac left and my collection is completed...

...

till 20. February when wave 3b launches. >.<

The fight is on!
 
WTF Target?? Why do they put these things up at such weird hours? It's like now I'm getting punished for going to sleep so I can get up for work.
 
I just discovered pushbullet. Would be awesome if there were an amiibo channel on there to push updates on stock and other news.

I just made one. Gotta get the hang of it though and test it out tomorrow. Have fun you guys! I'm out

Sonic has been delivered, however, my shipment has hit 2 delays due to severe weather. In other news, MetaKnight and DDD are preparing shipment from BB. With these 3, Wave 3 will FINALLY be over.

Same here. Need to sleep for work so I can make that amiibo money, heh.

Never thought target would update inventory that late in the day. Then again, perhaps they're on West Coast time. I just hope they restock every so often like they did with Mega Man, Sonic, and Ike. 3 Dee is getting harder to find then Shulk. |<
 
Meta Knight has me pretty freaked. I'm going to head out to Best Buy on Friday, but I'm hoping that if that fails he'll end up on their site.

I've noticed that the sites tend to update around the same time that most people are standing in line. It happened with Rosalina and just recently the MM LE. It's like a cruel joke when you've been standing in line for two hours and as soon as you get home, you find out it was on their site the whole time.
 
Dedede's up on Amazon.de it looks like. I just made an order with him, Sonic, and Mega Man, so hopefully everything works out.

Edit: Ah, he just became available for pre-order. All three amiibos will be out the 20th there it seems.
 
If I'm opening my Amiibos, is there any difference at all in buying a foreign model?

I don't believe so.

None for use in games and none visually on the figures themselves, iirc.

It's one of the reasons i'm glad I just imported a Metaknight instead of dealing with this Best Buy garbage.
 
I have a couple of questions for the sealed collectors:

Do you prefer the way they look sealed in the box, or do you just keep them sealed because they hold more value?

If the latter, do you ever intend to sell them? If not, why does their value mean anything to you?

Curious!

I love how they look with th big picture and name of each character. Like a little shrine for each one.

Value wise I want to keep them in perfect condition, box perfect, I check the paint and build quality etc.

Will I ever sell? Likely no. But collecting is all about getting best condition items and keeping them sealed whether it's my rare comic books or game limited editions like The Last of Us Post Pandemic Edition and such.

To you, but complete preservation isn't the mindset of every collector. I collect retro video games and while I have a couple sealed I don't go out and buy them and never open them. I collect them and enjoy them.

I have the same mindset with amiibo. I have 20 so far and I've opened, used, and displayed every one.

To the poster who's question you answered, basically everyone's different and enjoys their collection a different way.

Yeah, I know, that's why I was curious.

Personally, I love the look of Amiibo in their box - but if you've got a complete set opened and on a shelf, IMO they look amazing together out of their boxes! Such colours!
 
The other alternatives are kik, which supports 50 people in a group, but that only has a mobile app. There's also Whatsapp, which supports 100 people in a group chat, but I believe that requires phone numbers? And lastly Line, which supports 100 people and can set usernames.

We'll figure this out tomorrow I guess. I mean, what are the odds preorders actually go up tomorrow right?
Jinx.

Haha I JUST suggested LINE. It works really well. I used to use it when I played Marvel War of Heroes.

that was a dark time in my life
 
My one GameStop has a Shulk in stock,apparently. I am aware that this is a preorder, but isn't the hold only 48 hours? I won't push it on the employee, but I will ask about their policy, and if he wants to hold it for the original person still, that's fine, but I will ask to hold it for me if he thinks it's appropriate to sell it now.
 
Listen everyone, I need to get to bed for work, so I'm heading out. It was nice chatting a bit with some of you in the Hangouts, but, like I said, we can't do this thing there. But, as Diggeh mentioned, let's try the Steam app on phones to communicate with this. It sounds like a winner to me.

If anyone has any questions or anything, PM me and I'll check later in the day. Sorry the Hangout didn't work, but I had no idea there was a 10 person limit. I still love this idea and want to see it come to fruition, so I really wanna try Steam.

I am exhausted! Good night everyone! We'll continue this project tomorrow! Here's hoping Wave 4 goes up already!

Edit: My Steam username is "namagem". Add me (but please let me know you came from here).

The only way steam will work is if the app gives notifications. Does it do that? I've looked into Kik and some other chat apps but I still suggest LINE. You can link via facebook instead of phone if you'd like and you can get notifications.
 
I know they're not super rare, but it looks like Amazon.ca has new stock for Diddy Kong and Bowser (smash bros edition), if anyone is interested.
 
If the hangout thing is Max 10 we could use Line messenger app. I don't think that has a maximum.
Just created a LINE account, username blue.namagem. This app seems like a decent one, gotta look into it more. Thanks for the suggestion, much appreciated. We'll look into all this more later. Toki, I'm guessing Hangouts didn't work for 100 users? That sucks, but hopefully this LINE ends up working well.

Now, I'm going back to sleep...So tired.
 
Line is the best because of stickers.

What do you guys think is my best shot for Ike this Friday? I keep missing him online and he's the last of Wave 3 I need.

My local Target has been amazing for me, but their Wave 3B stock schedule was unclear. Stopped by yesterday and the pegs were in place but full of commons =[

Target is very likely not getting Wave 3B in stock, despite there being hooks for those figures. It seems to be online only there.

As far as your best shot on Friday, I'd say GameStop. But bring your brass knuckles to "make sure" you're the first person in line because they might only have one or two Ikes that aren't for preorders.
 
I was just charged for my Ike preorder, ship to home from Gamestop. Nice, was afraid it would get cancelled. I'll have three now since I jumped on him and got two when he was on Target.com for a few minutes. Haven't heard anything about my ship to store preorders for Mega Man, King Dedede and Sonic.

Added you. If anyone wants to add me, kitchenmotors is my id.
 
This must be what it feels like to play the slots.

I keep on reloading the Amiibo thread hoping to catch a "IN STOCK" alert. Walk away for a few seconds and someone else gets a Jackpot while I'm away. But its worked more for me then anything else. Manged to get Mega Man, Sonic and Shulk some how through it.

Thanks amiigos! 8<
 
The fact that Nintendo acknowledged that they didn't handle the earlier waves properly tells me they are going to try to be prepared for wave 4.
 
I forgot to pre-order the Shulk Amiibo lol.
T_T

Man you're in a world of hurt.

Ha...HA...BUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!....*sigh* they have already missed up wave 4. It's been about a month and still no preorders. Hell amazon.uk had preorders up about 2 week ago.
