You really think TRU would sell it for that price? Please. They'll probably pay him an ass ton of money to have a lot of these made through a factory or something then sell them at normal or a little higher than normal price.... I hope. He makes really great stuff. Check out his Pikachu and Samus.

That's the price in the Toys "R" Us system currently, although that is far from final.
 
Random tought: All this amiibo madness and insane demand but Wii U consoles literally sitting on retail shelves forever.

Hmm, maybe you are right, but isn´t it a weird price for it to be a placeholder?

Sounds like the final price to me.

By the way, I updated the Top post with the pictures for the custom prices.

I don't see how these custom ones can even be officially sold.

Funny irony... Nintendo finds products with high demand but can't meet it while demand doesn't meet supply for the main console. I'm still baffled and somewhat annoyed by the way they are treating some products but oh well. I've decided to only get what's fairly easy to get, won't bother collecting or paying high prices for stuff I shouldn't be.

Who is on twitter that I haven't followed yet here? I want to follow some people on the off chance I get banned again...which seems very likely since the start of this year.
My Twitter handle is the same as my GAF username. Follow me and I'll follow back.

It very well could be. But Amiibo Inquirer mentioned things are still in the negotiations phase so I was just throwing out the possibility that the price may change and that it's not final. But regardless, I do expect it to be expensive, as with other Toys "R" Us exclusive items.
 
It's been a week since I've checked in on Amiibos. Any information when Dedede, Ike, MM, or Sonic will hit GS and also any other new breaks on the Amiibo front? I saw $80 custom Amiibos at TRU...is that really a thing and what else crazy has happened?

The gave me the date of Feb 25, but also they told me that if you preordered AFTER December 26 you won´t get King Dedede and Ike until Spring or Summer.

This is not hte first time we've noticed that people are ten times more hyped for the concept of collecting nintendo toys than any actual gameplay implementation of amiibo yet made.
 
AmiiboGAF Pushbullet Service (now in BETA)
__
Welcome to the AmiiboGAF Pushbullet Tracking Service post. In this post we will begin to introduce Pushbullet, how to use it and the technical limits.

What is Pushbullet?
Pushbullet is an application that uses Android Notification/iOS Push Notifications to push stuff to your phone. Basically it's computer -> notification on your iPhone.

How to use Pushbullet?
First of all, head over to http://www.pushbullet.com and Sign up using Gmail or Facebook. Complete the prompts and download the app on your iOS device/Android. Login with the same Gmail/Facebook account to pair your device. You should be ready to go!

How to use AmiiboGAF's Tracking Service?
Head on over to https://www.pushbullet.com/channel?tag=amiibogaf and subscribe. Then you should start receiving notifications.

Technical Limitations
Right now, Pushbullet only accepts RSS Feeds for automated goodness. So I created an AmiiboGAF wordpress (amiibogaf.wordpress.com) and used that RSS feed for Pushbullet.

Best Buy amiibos are automated for now (as of IFTTT). We plan to make other stores automated as well, but that doesn't seem possible right now. What we can do however is get collaborators to post when an Amiibo is up.

Collaborators
We're in look for Collaborators right now. Since I'm currently in the ADST time zone. I will need people from the
- PST time zone (California, I'm pretty sure)
- EST time zone (New York)
and
- GMT time zone (England)

Please, we urgently need collaborators to make this work. If you want to be one, contact me.

I hope this Pushbullet service works out. Have fun receiving your amiibos.

Kisses

You can buy a freakin' Tharja scale of incredible quality for that price. Or that new Link scale figure that was revealed at WonFes. Or basically any non-ridiculous figure.

Gonna be interesting.
 
I have the same name

My Twitter handle is the same as my GAF username. Follow me and I'll follow back.

Speaking of figures, I really want that Cordelia one that was announced.

While it was unpainted at the time, it was really nicely detailed.

Hey dude, I'm @Danbo_4 ... I'm afraid I don't tweet about Lucina very often, though =P

Will it be possible in the future that we can select which Amiibos we want to get notification about?
 
I'm laughing so hard at those $80 amiibos that the muscles in my face are stuck.

You mean like this.

PUSHBULLET NOTICE
Sorry, but I'll be doing another test just to make sure it goes fine.
The notification should say
[DUMMY] AVAILABLE

I only just subbed so hopefully I see this one.
