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.

 

[GitarooMan]

Should I trade my Ness for Lucina? Y/N

I wouldn't because you still have more opportunities for Lucina.

 

[mooseman]

Just left GameStop and Ness was still available. Ordered Ness and Pacman

 

[topplehat]

This pretty much went down like I figured it would.

 

[dallow_bg]

Ness isout of stock! (according to some people)
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.

 

[Deleted member 74300]

Fucking damn it. I'll trade my Captain Falcon for Ness. Bullshit friend wouldn't help me out.

 

[EroticSushi]

We also have Greninja from TRU tomorrow.

 

[Kusagari]

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.

 

[Xamdou]

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 !

 

[Shauni]

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

 

[Ultimadrago]

Wow what a day, I managed to get 20 amiibos including 10 of Ness which I immediately flipped for $15-20 profit each right outside the store. Thanks nintendo for the easy money.

 

[Velcro Fly]

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

Nah I felt better knowing the other people in line at least got theirs. I was mad for myself but even more mad that a store full of people would have been turned away.

 

[Piscus]

Just left GameStop and Ness was still available. Ordered Ness and Pacman

Bull. I was there 30 minutes ago and they had just taken him off their system because he was OOS.

 

[LOCK]

I have been busy all day and just now have time to even think about amiibos.

So I'm screwed.

haha, bs unless you are unemployed

Same with me.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Ok maybe Pacific Gamestop still have Ness?
Maybe that is the confusion.
Eastern and Central all gone.

Just a shot...

 

[The_Afroman]

This can't be right. I ordered my splatoon 3 pack at 6:51pm EST. Ness was sold out. GS memo said they will put them online later according to a friend employee.

 

[Toki767]

No. All Gamestops use the same inventory.

 

[Defect]

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.

 

[friskykillface]

Fucking damn it. I'll trade my Captain Falcon for Ness. Bullshit friend wouldn't help me out.

NOOOOOO, you gotta keep falcon, he is the best, i was sad until i traded a lucario to get the god back B^)

Just went to GameStop right after work, everything is sold out including splatoon. I'm glad I don't care as much as I did.

 

[Dr. Black Jack]

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.

 

[A Human Becoming]

I'm starting to suspect Amazon pre-orders will go up in the middle of the night while I'm asleep.

 

[Korosenai]

I have a Falcon or a Dedede that I would trade for Ness if I can't get one online.

 

[TheSlySoul]

No. All Gamestops use the same inventory.

Oh ok, I knew some stores in Pacific sold things later just like showing TV shows at a different time.

Oh wow, that looks awesome! thanks for the input! I kinda want the one with the protective cover because of stupid dust.

 

[Rhapsody]

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?

 

[NateDrake]

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?

Falcon is better. Also that's a shitty friend.

I would say they have the same stock

Edit: typo

Amazon and TRU still hasn't put theirs up yet.

 

[SaviourMK2]

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

 

[LOCK]

Did Amazon preorders go up today?

 

[Alfredo]

So, can I pre-order Pac-Man yet or is the dream already dead?

 

[NateDrake]

Did Amazon preorders go up today?

No.

 

[richiek]

I went to Gamestop an hour ago and preordered Ness through their computer. It's gonna be delivered to my house in June.

Going to play Smash mode 99 minute time limit against 3 level 1 Ness on a team and just fuck that shit up

Of course I'll play as Lucina

 

[Brainiac 8]

Ness get!

 

[Rhapsody]

Thanks for the reply. Guess I can still hope.

 

[Poltergust]

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. =)

 

[Kusagari]

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?

 

[TheSlySoul]

Yeah I am not sure I will bother with Wave 5. I mostly wanted all FE and 3rd party characters.

 

[LOCK]

No.

Thanks!

So there is hope!

 

[Insaniac]

I'd put my money on charizard being fairly easy to obtain once the dust settles

Wooly Yoshi (3 color), Lucas, Mew two, ...

Oh, you know you will be back.

 

[NateDrake]

Glitch in the system?

 

[Brianâ˜]

Cause employees are dickheads.

 

[Deleted member 74300]

Falcon is better. Also that's a shitty friend.

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.
