Sorry, can't hear you over the savings I've saved from not importing.

 

[bon]

My Palutena arrived. Face looks good to me and the details on her outfit are very nice. Really glad I got her.

 

[zroid]

I like the translucent parts on the figure. you don't really see stuff like that on other amiibo. makes palutena seem unique.

 

[RuneFactoryFanboy]

My local Meijers put all the Bowsers on 50% clearance. At $6.50 it's hard to say no.

Between this and the Gamestop used sale it's kinda cool to fill out my collection with commons I somewhat wanted, but didn't want to buy at full price. Now if only Zelda would go on sale...

 

[Zonic]

Dang, mine only had the SSB one for $10. I was wishing Toon Link would drop below freakin' $11.99.

 

[SmackAttack]

Yeah I think Palutena looks good overall, despite the hands. That said, I wish they chose the best dress instead of plain white.

 

[i-Jest]

Anyone here have any suggestions on cabinet lighting solutions for one of the besta ikea displays? I'm trying to find something and having no luck, makes it hard to make the display look cool right now.

I currently own every Amiibo released in the US, US variants and all, so it's not impossible for now

Your gonna need a new display when Nintendo decides to pimp out the Yarn Yoshi color variants.

 

[brianmcdoogle]

I'm running out of space for my Amiibos. I was using the Walmart spice rack setup that someone recommended ages ago, and with only 3 rows, and barely able to get 4 on a row (three comfortably), I'm losing space fast. I.... why am I collecting these again?

You're planning for your future. It's like buying stocks.

 

[_SAKY_]

Indeed, junk stocks.

 

[Anime]

Ness is basically common now.

I been gone from some time but ness is a common now? Of all characters i definately wouldnt have expected that.

 

[Koppai]

I have all of the currently released Amiibo in the US plus the 3 Yarn Yoshi. Can't wait to finish getting them all x.x (fuck the amiibo cards though)

 

[D-Man]

Finally got my Palutena today and she looks great. I was kinda worried that her box would be a bit banged up since the Amazon box was kinda small, but it was fine. Very happy with the way she came out.

Should I be buying tube stocks or those weird ankle stocks?

 

[SuperCambot]

I'm sorry Haloid I can't hear you over the sound of me owning everything

You own everything... and yet nothing.

 

[Curler]

Hey guys is it sad that I'm going on a trip and I found a Best Buy near my hotel for Friday? :x

(How busy do the Best Buys in LA area get? >_>)

 

[Gaiaknight]

best amiibo ever or best amiibo ever?

 

[Curler]

best amiibo ever or best amiibo ever?

Need bundle. Gimmeeeeeeee

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

That box makes me think there should be a Chibi-Robo/Pikmin cross-over of some sort. Even if it's just an Easter egg.

 

[JoeM86]

Did we have high quality artwork of this yet?

Well here it is regardless.

 

[The Giant]

Does anyone else want a Professor E. Gadd amiibo? I know I want one.

 

[zroid]

best amiibo ever or best amiibo ever?

sweet jesus that background is even better than the figure

 

[Murray97]

Finally got the only amiibo I ever wanted. Awh yes.

 

[Garlador]

I still have them all in boxes... Almost have the whole set. I was going to open them all up once I get a good display case for them all.

... I'm still trying to figure that out. IKEA's Detolf's I keep hearing are the best bang for the buck, but I don't live near one. I guess I could always try and make one.

It just doesn't feel right having them all stuck in their packaging, but I don't want them just propped on my dresser collecting dust.

 

[Zonic]

Cool, Palutena arrived safely. Though she seems like she's leaning a bit to her right...It's hard to tell, it's just enough that it LOOKS like she is, but at the same time, it also looks fine.

Edit: BB flyer says "minimum of 8 per store in Michigan & Ohio" for Dark Pit. Well that seems a bit low...

 

[D-Stubbs]

Got my Palutena in the mail today! Came packaged nice and she looks good. Now to get Dark Pit on Friday. Debating on what time to go wait in line. I should call and see how many they're getting in. I've heard Dark Pit is supposed to be decently stocked so we'll see.

Nintendo World Store has some rare Amiibo in stock. I'm on line right now, hoping to get Little Mac and Pit.

EDIT: got em! They also have Charizard and Ness in stock as well.

 

[Like the hat?]

I caved. I imported Jigglypuff. Only $15 on amazon with prime shipping, though. The only amiibo I paid over retail for (sitting at 30ish so far)

Still need to find a Rosalina.

Can it really be called caving if you picked it up cheaper than some on here did at target after shipping?

cheap price dude

 

[Samaritan]

Walked into my local Best Buy this morning to take advantage of the Project CARS discount and figured I'd wander over to the Amiibo section for the heck of it. Look who I found just sitting on the shelf, all casual-like:

Did they let you ring it up??

 

[Samaritan]

What!

I wasn't able to buy it, of course, but that didn't stop me from trying. Went to the register and the SKU didn't even show up in their system. Everyone was extremely clueless about the release date for Dark Pit, but it became pretty apparent I wasn't going to be able to walk out of the store with it. Had to try though!

If I found that, I would definitely hide it till Friday.

Well I'm glad that the system prevents sales of the product before Friday.

As was I. If they would've let me walk out of there, I would've done it, but I'm definitely glad they honored the street-date. Hopefully Friday isn't a clusterfuck.

More that I bought my first non-us one

Also had my first casualty today. My son knocked my toon link off the shelf and it snapped off the base. Hopefully I can get it to glue OK.

Son too op, pls nerf

 

[Evoker1995]

I am sad Amiibo-Gaf.

I will be out of town, and will not be able to go to Best Buy Friday morning.

I guess its a good thing Amiibos are usually selling for only $20 each now!

 

[Strider_Blaze]

My Palutena amiibo has arrived!

Funny thing, it was raining hard along with sounds of thunder in the afternoon. Just as the weather was beginning to clear up, the delivery truck arrives. They don't call Palutena the goddess of light for nothing.

 

[Nori Chan]

And an Elsa DI figure?

you are surely an amiibro

For your sake I hope you went and hid it in a refrigerator for tomorrow

 

[theSlacker]

Got the SKU number for Dark Pit so I can ask the people that work at the store around me to look it up?

[Velcro Fly]

So glad I imported Dark Pit

I'm battling an infection right now that makes it really difficult to get around. Sitting, standing, and walking are difficult right now due to pain. The infection itself drains me of much energy so I've just been sorta sitting around and sleeping the past few days. I would definitely have missed out had I waited. I would have definitely been awake in time to camp out though.

Good luck to everyone going tomorrow. Look forward to hearing some good things and some fun stories!

Thanks chum.

Edit: Dammit, it was listed right on Best Buy's website.

 

[mariodad]

Can someone tell me how many dark pits my store will get? I've called several times and they won't give me any indication and I'd like to have some clue to arrive early enough. It's address 210 WHITTAKERS TRACE
WILLIAMSBURG, VA 23185. I appreciate it. I also have a palutena that I got with a semi crushed bubble that I'm willing to sell to an opener.
