What with all the activity going on with the preorder stuff, this question of mine might be overlooked, but I wanted some advice. I like to have a nice space devoted to my Amiibo, but I'm not too thrilled with what I've got going on right now. Feels like it's filled up too quickly, and I only kinda did this because the shelf looks so boring other wise.

Does anyone know any good display shelf that look good with Amiibos? My collection is probably going to continue to grow as long as I can keep getting them, and I like making them look cool displayed. However, I do also like having access to them so I can use them in games if need be. Here's a picture of my shelf right now:



As you can see, I already ran out of space fast and haven't even opened several of the last ones I've gotten. I'm not sure I even like the idea I had with trying to keep the back of the boxes behind the character, because I always do a shitty job in trying to keep them clean even when I try to open them carefully.

I have a section of my site dedicated to amiibo displays & storage: amiibros.com

I personally use the 'Copco Non-skid Cabinet Organizer' for my open amiibo and it's great!

As for boxed amiibo, your best bet is probably a bookshelf (like you have now) or hanging them directly on a wall using push-pins - don't stick the pin through the package, just hang the box on the plastic part of the pin.

Honestly, Gamestop did ok with their exclusive. They got enough in stock to provide with the whole community.

What, no they didn't.
There's tons of people who are not lucky enough to be able to take off work and get this in store.

I was stuck at work, had my friend go to get one for me and Ness sold out right before he was next in line.

Fuck this shit man.

So I went to my friendly neighborhood Gamestop right after work (Got there 1:15pm) and waited for about an hour to preorder Ness, Charizard, Pacman and the Splatoon Trifecta pack!

They were having issues initially but got faster right before I reach the cashier ;)!

Was sold out by the time I got back there. Probably missed it by only a few minutes. GameStop guy I could tell felt awful about the whole thing since it started working again after I left and just about everyone behind me in line got one.

That really sucks. I feel kind of bad for recommending you go now

My friend is great. So far he got me a Rosalina, Metaknight, Gold Mario and now he got an extra Ness and a Shulk coming.

Missed out on Jigglypuff though and he will most likely score a Greninja whenever that's available.

There had better be more rounds of preordering, because seriously, what the fuck NoA? The demand is clearly there, you're not going to get stuck with unsold stock.

Leaving money on the table, just like the first year of the Wii.

So wait, I've been behind on the recent wave of preorders. What's sold out and what hasn't been up for preorder yet?

I've been wanting to get Lucina but sounds like there's no luck now?

Online pre-orders should come in time. It's just a question of when GameStop opens them.

How many GameStop stores exist in the US? 5000?

Think im ging to boot up Smash Bros WiiU for a while... and beat the shit out of Lucinia, Robin, Jigglypuff, Ness, Pacman and Charizard for a while.


Greninja get a pass because he hasn't fucked us yet.
Wario will be common as balls, so im not worried about preordering him

I'm so glad I got my Ness and Splatoon 3-pack pre-orders!

I think this is gonna be it for me. I have Yoshi, Link, Luigi (Mario Party 10 version, a.k.a. the better version), Shulk (coming in later), Ness, and Splatoon. I got all of the characters I wanted. =)

If all Gamestop's use the same computer how were people pre-ordering him an hour ago and other people were told he was sold out before that?

Falcon is better. Also that's a shitty friend.
Click to expand...

I know he's better that's why I bought more than one for stupid occasions such as this. I just wanted the original smash characters and that's it. It's never going to happen now since Gamestop will barely or never restock Ness again and even if they do it will be out in seconds.

Just someone take my Falcon or Shulk for a Ness. I hate having to come to this.
