So it has come to this? Amiibo porn?

Hey, we all do it...

 

[Glix]

I see the inkling female to be rare and perhaps the 3 pack. I see the inkling male though just hogging up shelves.

Going Amiibo hunting on lunch most days and just seeing 1000 Pikachus at every store I go to has actually made me hate the cute yellow bastard lol. He has become associated with disappointment in my brain, lol.

Robin actually does look very nice.
No crappy stand for him.

Inkling Squid > Inkling Girl > Inkling Boy in rarity order.

 

[thecouncil]

He should be holding a Ness, Little Mac, Marth, WFT, or Villager. Gold Mario isn't even close to a golden ticket.

i highlighted the key words there for the joke.

I refuse to get Pikachu. He is everywhere taunting me at every store.

 

[Hyrule Warrior]

I refuse to get Pikachu. He is everywhere taunting me.

Kinda the same reason I haven't gotten Luigi from the Super Mario set yet...he's just fucking everywhere. He does look nice though.

 

[Shauni]

I'm assuming by Megaman/Sonic-rare, you guys are saying that Pacman will be rare at first, and then pretty common? Because Sonic is pretty much everywhere around me now, and Megaman was though it seems he's thinned out a bit more.

Kirby is common? lol I have yet to see him in person.

Eh, pretty sure Kirby is insanely common. My local Wal-Mart has ten, and my local Gamestop has three or four last I was in there. Pretty sure he's often sighted as one of most common figures.

 

[xplicitone]

They're all rare. I don't see Splatoon being as rare because it gives missions but we'll see. I say that as I can't get a Shulk anywhere for Xenoblade 3ds

 

[cagelessrat]

Haha. At least it's one of the better looking figures.

"Rare at first" - Well, yeah, he'll probably sell out, but WILL be restocked somewhat over time like has happened with MM and Sonic.

I don't think what an amiibo does really has any baring on how rare it will actually be.

[Fallout Phoenix]

Interestingly, Pikachu is my only amiibo.

 

[Glix]

While we're just shooting the shit F5ing, is there a consensus among the GAF Amiibros (and gals) on which sculpt/paint is the most impressive?

I'm SO impressed with Shulk. His outfit is detailed, even with little rivets and stuff, and tons of intricate paint work. Its really really impressive.

Rosie is really nice too, nice dress details (stars, trim, petticoat) earrings, brooch, crown, FINGERNAILS PAINTED, and the awesome little Lum buddy.

The really simple ones look very very nice (Kirby, Toad, Sonic) but are not as impressive.

Special mention for Toon Link, the statue is just super pleasing and awesome.

 

[VICI0US]

oh god my internet went out for 2 minutes and I almost had a stroke

Yea I know.. it's just dumb to me that if you make something external give you internal content, essentially DLC, it should be the easiest thing to get.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Eh, he's ok. Just plain lookin Pikachu standing. Wished he had a cool pose like this:

When the Pokken line comes you will get your wish!!!

(If they don't confirm this game for WiiU I may freak the fuck out)

 

[Zonic]

Bah, better get going to class....

Watch as there's a Pokken line of amiibo & Pikachu gets the pose on the bottom right.

 

[GeekComplex]

These silent periods on the forum are like death.
I immediately assume I'm behind, and it takes a few f5's to realize I'm probably over reacting.

 

[Glix]

Now that I'm participating in the thread more, I thought I'd show off my collection. This is my desk at work.

Not seen - Kirby and MK (at home for Rainbow Curse fun) and Gold Mario (Still in box)

 

[Erekiddo]

GAF silence isn't always the calm before the storm.

Spoiler

I was tricked too

Hope you don't have any desperate Amiibo collector coworkers.

 

[Glix]

Nah, none of them are even gamers.

One asked me if I could help him get his OG gameboy working.

He also said he had a Nintendo Gamebox at one point.

 

[Erekiddo]

I used to keep figures on my desk back in the day. Just lock them up in a desk drawer (if you're provided one) before you leave. No fuss.

 

[Ignition365]

My desk has always been barren, just an upside down candy dish.

I've never thought about putting stuff on my desk, but our building has thieves and my group is moving offsite in a few weeks, so maybe then... maybe.

 

[The_Afroman]

My Amiibo keep me happy while at work. (work from home.)

 

[shandy706]

Sitting in the field refreshing. I'm glad my job is easy....I just hope the cell signals stay in range, lol.

 

[Glix]

That looks really really nice, bro. Well done.

Some of the collectibles on top are pretty sweet too!

Are they the crazy multicolor LED's that you can program all sorts of cool fades and stuff into?

 

[TheSlySoul]

I have the same cases, I should put LEDs in it. Looks rad.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Don't believe Arul's lies.

This.

 

[GeekComplex]

Leaving for a bit to get food and maintain sanity.
This would be doable if I could, ya know, play video games and watch this obsessively at the same time, but ya CAN'T because a damned minute makes the difference.
Drowning my sorrows in McChickens til I die...

Just basic white. I could have gone RGB but i chose not too. I like the simple clean bight white leds.

cheap too. only 13 bucks for the lights.

 

[xplicitone]

Alright, gotta concentrate with my work these next couple of hours. Hope I get lucky and refresh on time if it comes.

Edit: Afroman, love your setup! Not jealous at all

 

[Dr. Black Jack]

So the listings show "$7.30 - $209.99" on my Wishlist now when they didn't have any price before...still can't order though.

That's what I've seen on my end for days.

 

[Namek]

Are Yarn Yoshi ones going up as well?

 

[NateDrake]

Doubtful. Game doesn't release for several months in US.

 

[illgrillchill]

How did you get these on your wish list?

I must be having a brain fart...

 

[Drago]

Don't remind me ;_;

 

[Namek]

Keep faith and a Sept. release could happen!

Where did you get the cases and lights? It's a gorgeous set up!

 

[Dr. Black Jack]

Weird, mine have just been blank till a little bit ago.

My wife's going to refresh Amazon while I'm out doing errands...if they don't go up then it's this all night:

 

[TheSlySoul]

Screw it, I bought some LEDs with wireless motion tracking.
Going to do Spring Cleaning in my apartment and get the Amiibos out of the box I am holding them in.

 

[CorvoSol]

It's fucking 4 AM where I am, I should be sleeping, but Amazon.ca put the fear of God back into me tonight.

 

[mantis23]

Well, I'm leaving work and starting my 45 minute drive home. You can all thank me when Amazon puts these up in 5 minutes.

 

[Saint Gregory]

Well, I'm leaving work and starting my 45 minute drive home. You can all thank me when Amazon puts these up in 5 minutes.

Just don't refresh and drive please.

Don't Amiibo and Drive!

There's nothing wrong with driving with a few Amiibo in your lap... in most states at least >.>

 

[TheSlySoul]

Just don't refresh and drive please.

Don't Amiibo and Drive!

 

[Lavpa Jasai]

Well, I'm leaving work and starting my 45 minute drive home. You can all thank me when Amazon puts these up in 5 minutes.

No worries, I'm leaving in about 30 mins. for a 45 mins drive home as well, they will wait until then and put up pre-orders so we both miss them.
