I think walmart.com is trolling me right now. Preorder button completely functional but out of stock as soon as put into cart. Afraid If I go play MH4 it will go up again and I will miss again.
 
Is this common on Dedede? Mine has a little gap between the red and yellow on his cap. He looks great otherwise!

Mine has a slight gap too. I never would have noticed it if you hadn't posted this. :lol

Still one of the best amiibos so far. I think Bowser is my favorite but Dedede and Mega Man are right there.
 
I finally got a chance to open my last four (Ike, Dedede, Sonic, Mega Man). They all look so great hanging out together!!!

No. Amiibo are your life now. We've all joined a cult we didn't know about.

...I saw the gold Mario was up, I had it in my cart. And then I closed out the window. I don't need it, damn it. I won't sell it if I buy it. I won't give it up once it's in my possession.

Damn you Nintendo...

Look I'm already a good supplicant, I'm TRYING to buy the golden calf, I...

Oh my God.
 
So I missed it A THIRD TIME because of college stuff.

3 strikes. I officially will not care for Gold Mario now. I don't need a second Mario and I'd rather use my funds on a character I don't have, like Meta Knight.
 
Anyone have an extra US Marth that they can trade me?

I have an extra

Meta Knight
Dedede
Ike
Captain Falcon
Fox
Megaman
Sonic
Toon Link
Sheik

That I can trade. Please PM me and let me know which combination works for you. I will trade multiples for it of course since it is rare.
 
Walmart just sent cancellations for people that ordered more than 2. Including multiple orders.

HA!! Fucking great. What did I say?

Hobbun said:

These people piss me off. Hope their preorders get cancelled.

Hope I'm ok. I have two orders, one each.

I have the same. I checked my orders on Wal-mart, and my email for any cancellations, no indication on cancellation in either location. Hopefully 2 (1 for each order) will be ok.
 
They canceled the order of 1 outright.
And cancelled 1 each from the bundled orders of 2.
So he still has the standard 2 total.

Ok, missed this. If Wal-mart did this with your friend's order, I think those who have two orders (1 of each) should be ok, then.
 
Couldn't care less about gold mario. I actually enjoyed NSMB2 so Gold Mario is cool but I don't care. I already have a Mario!

Pretty much. If they were up for preorder, I'd probably buy one just to have it but I really don't care about missing out on an amiibo that I could make myself with a can of spray paint.
 
And it is especially satisfying on the cancellations after that fucker had the gall to post on FB how much of a"great investment" the amiibos are.
 
Really nice display...one of the cleanest I've seen. Will the rest of the characters fit?

Thanks! I'm waiting until next time I can get to an IKEA and get a Detolf, but that might not be for a couple of months. This current display looks better and better, though, with the more amiibos I get. I cropped the picture, so there is room for plenty more. There are two more shelves that haven't even been used, so 18 more there + 7 more on the Dedede/Meta Knight shelf. I could technically use the top too, so I could fit up to 34 more... not even half full yet (currently have 29)!

EDIT: I've been wondering what to do with the Mario series once I start getting those. Like, do I mix them in with the Smash line? I don't think I want to do that. Maybe I'll put those on the top.
 
Still no sign of DeDeDe or Sonic in the wild in my area, and my area has been extremely well supplied with amiibo during this whole deal. Wave 3 is a complete trainwreck.
 
Here's the whole shelf uncropped. So I have room for 7 more on the Dedede/Meta Knight shelf, 9 more below that (16), 9 more on the bottom (25), and 9 more on the top (34). As you can see, right now I have a bunch of other Nintendo-related figures on the top, but I do have other places I can move them. I probably have room for three more of these shelves to the left. If each shelf holds a maximum of 63 amiibos (34 + 29), I could have an amiibo wall of 252 amiibos! I could probably stack another shelf on top too. 504 amiibos!!! BRING IT ON NINTENDO!


I also have to make sure everyone knows I have a Vampire Rain poster :)

EDIT: Logic fail. If I stack them, I can't have the 9 on the top, so 468 is the maximum amount of amiibos I'll be able to have.
 
So I got Toad because Toad. But if I get gold mario, then I'll need the rest of them or else my ocd will send me to an early grave. I say all this while F5ing the Walmart page...

I think I have a problem.
 
Gold Mario is a pointless Mario. If I wanted Mario I'd want something that didn't look like a shiny blob. Nintendo gave the most boring Amiibo to the most boring retailer. You can keep him Walmart.

PS... Stop announcing this crap and put up wave 4 pre orders already!!!

Dusting that many amiibo...

Pretty much. If they were up for preorder, I'd probably buy one just to have it but I really don't care about missing out on an amiibo that I could make myself with a can of spray paint.

I hope it sells so well that Nintendo does more color variant exclusives. Just stop doing characters as exclusives. Missing out on meta knight because I didn't line up outside best buy in 8 degree weather is insane.
 
I think this Gold Mario amiibo fiasco has really made me realize how little I really care about Amiibos. I just don't have the energy to be watching for the 15 minute window that pre-orders are open. At this point NoA has to figure out some way to combat the scalpers for the sake of people who actually want the Amiibos, otherwise I think I'm going to be done after acquiring Ness.

More and more people are getting fed up, if nintendo has some sort of master plan they better move to the next step.

Agreed, it should have been clear to me before, but this exposed the ridiculousness of the whole enterprise. I can't think of any other consumer good where this is the case. Sure, I've had to be quick to get some limited box sets, but those were one offs, with dates laid out in advance. This is relentless and maddeningly unpredictable.
 
will non-US customers be able to get the golden mario? we are the only region that has these damn exclusive deals. So will it be available at any place that sells amiibos overseas? It can't be a global walmart exclusive right?
Kind of interesting

It can be possible can't it? I think there's Walmart in Japan and Europe
