"I almost bought it" = "I almost believed it."

I'm just realizing that could read as something else (especially in an Amiibo thread).

haha oh all right, I see

 

[Neoxon]

Shulk, Greninja, & Lucario will no longer be store-exclusive to GameStop & Toys R' Us respectively.

Would the idea that Amiibos can leave store exclusivity be thread-worthy?

 

[WarAdept]

The journey is almost over.

Where can one get those clear display steps?

 

[Triforce141]

Ordered the Chibi-Robo bundle on Friday.

Saw a Pac-Man at Gamestop on Saturday and bought it.

Retro 3-Pack came in the mail today.

...help

Just don't try to get all of the Fire Emblem characters, you'll be safe beyond that. Sheik and the Kid Icarus trio are tempting my $80 right now. I don't need to spend on $120 on the Fire Emblem 4 right now with Roy coming afterwards.

 

[Gaiaknight]

so i mailed out 5 packages as part of trades for these damn animal crossing cards today, thank god im almost done with series 1.

I got mine from office depot but I couldn't find it on their site. I saw a few on ebay when I searched "acrylic shelf."

The mii fighter 3 pack is out already? Or just in Asia?

Was going to try for Little Mac, Cap Falc or Fox during this re-stock but it's beginning to look like it's not going to happen. I was hoping the Nintendo Store in NYC would get some but nada.

I've been checking my TRU every day. Found some Captain's there a few days back before the shipment of the restocks was even reported to have gone out too.

 

[Shig]

So is that second Mario Party line with regular purple-and-yellow Wario just never happening?

I love the WarioWare one, but it's really weird not having a standard model, Wario-as-he-appears-in-90%-of-the-games-he's-in Wario in the amiibo collection.

They may release that line of amiibos for the new Mario Tennis, I hope.

There's a TRU down the street from where I live so I'm going to do the same. If I happen across one I'll grab it but I really only want the Little Mac. Kicking myself for not getting Mac and Villager when I was at Nintendo World a few months ago.

These were the ones I bought:

Getting a little late in the day for that, I think.

 

[Tirod]

Unfortunately, I don't think the restocking is going to benefit me.

I visited my local TRU on the way to a lunch date, and there were 3 people just hanging around the toys to life section just waiting.

My area is too Amiibo savvy, and I just want Captain Falcon for Mario Kart 8 T_T

 

[Zonic]

My GS still had 3 of the retro pack, so again, save for 8-bit Mario & maybe Ganondorf, seems this wave was handled rather well.

 

[Ecto311]

Anyone else seen the amiibo cards for AC already on clearance? I got 2 packs today and have no interest in this game. Maybe my daughter will use the in the future.

*runs to wal mart*

 

[Velcro Fly]

Got my last Best Buy pack

no doubles! 10 packs and the special card with the game and all are unique. 11/17 special characters.

48/100 right now

Are you sure you're buying AC Cards for tree fiddy from Wal-mart, and not from a giant crustacean from the Paleolithic Era?

 

[NateDrake]

Just got Chibi-Robo amiibo in. Thing is pretty sweet.

 

[SmackAttack]

I've yet to see an 8-bit Mario or Ganondorf. The latter is being sent to me by a very generous friend so it's just that Mario and even then I keep going back and forth on whether I want it or not. Side note: The Retro 3-pack is amazing. They all look great.

 

[Yarbskoo]

Ganondorf finally arrived in the mail from Walmart.

The eyes are a little derpy, and there are some paint issues, as you can see on the front with the gold paint, but the overall level of detail is impressive.

 

[Gaiaknight]

i just had a guy on reddit use the fact that villager is a rare amiibo to argue that the series isnt popular. Why are so many people afraid to admit that animal crossing series is now more popular than say metroid, kirby, and to some extent zelda.

I mean, New Leaf is sitting at just under 10 million sales. I'm not even sure how any one could even attempt to argue it's not popular. There's a reason Nintendo is pumping out two spin-offs in one season.

I pointed that out to him along with the fact that wild world sold 12.7 million but continued to argue. I get that alot of hardcore nintendo fans dont like it and get mad when one gets made over other franchises but sales numbers dont lie.

As someone who heard nothing but "What's that?" when I was hooked by and raving about the first game on GameCube, I'm thrilled to see the series become what it is. It's really quite amazing, actually, seeing how far it's come.

The only thing that slightly bothers me is the obsession with Isabelle and her sort of standing as the mascot for the series. Don't get me wrong, I like her a lot, but there are many characters to love and I wish Tortimer got more respect.

 

[Dominator]

After 12 packs, I have 51 cards so far. I have 21 duplicates. Can't really complain, that ratio isn't so bad.

Gonna start trading after I have 100 total so I can trade to completion.

I don't know. It kind of makes sense having Isabelle as the new mascot. I feel like the series got really popular with New Leaf.

Plus Isabelle is so sweet.

 

[illadelph]

The way that Nintendo has been on a role with their online titles (Splatoon and Mario Maker), I have high hopes for what the next true Animal Crossing will do.

 

[Boogiepop]

Another quick reminder that the card trade thread exists, since I feel like it may not have the best visibility. (Plus I still need to set up trades for like 11 more cards for a complete set, so I definitely need more people in there...)

 

[Benzychenz]

My retro guys just arrived, and I just managed to squeeze them onto my shelf.

Everyone fits nice and snug now, no idea where I'm going to fit Falco and the DLC characters

Feels incomplete without Ice Climbers though

 

[Gunstarheroes]

Keeping up with things but enjoying my Happy Home, has Amiibo Festival gone up at all yet, or are we still waiting?

 

[Hylian7]

I got the Retro 3-pack in the other day. Really nice figures.

I thought I would tell this story here. I nickname all my amiibos something clever related to what character they are. Here are the ones I had before I got the Retro 3-Pack:

Zelda - Zeruda
Yoshi - Yawsheh
Mega Man - Megamuhn
Palutena - Lady P
Rosalina - Rosalinda
Inkling Boy - Tentaculo
Inkling Girl - Inkla
Inkling Squid - Squidoo

The Retro 3-pack had my best names yet:

Duck Hunt - DogDynasty
ROB - ROB 8 (Star Fox 64's ROB is ROB 64, so ROB was an NES accessory, 8-bit, so ROB 8)
Mr. Game & Watch - Originally I had "999:9Smash", but then this story happened and I changed it. I had the amiibo on the coffee table in the living room, and my girlfriend at one point asked me "Can you move your watchmen off the table?" I said "You look up and shout "Move your watchmen!"...and I'll look down and whisper "No."

Suffice to say G&W is now "Watchmen"

Second Watchmen reference I've seen today... weird. Same reference too.

 

[Zalman]

Hey Americans, I’m visiting next week (LA, if it matters) and I’m looking to buy some amiibo since they’re way cheaper there. I’m missing quite a few commons, like the entire Super Mario series (except Toad), so I think it’s a great opportunity to stock up. Are there any in-store deals these days I can take advantage of? I feel like I hear about them pretty often, but I’m guessing they’re all probably online.

 

[tenderbrew]

Are people still finding the cards rather easily?

 

[Gaiaknight]

8 gamestops with 25 miles of me still have amiibo cards i think it depends on where your at.

 

[willizle02]

Anyone found any Famicon ROB's up for sale yet?

 

[Zonic]

Nintendo's Twitter: "Little Mac, Greninja, Shulk, Lucario, Fox & Captain Falcon will be restocked @ select retailers soon "

Same for Facebook. Though we already know that Shulk will be at both Best Buy & Toys R' Us. Likewise, Lucario & Greninja will be available at Best Buy.

 

[Curler]

I'm honestly surprised it hasn't gone up yet. What's the hold up? Did the west actually get Amiibos in first, before Japan for once??

 

[The12thGripper]

Yeah, the Retro Trio (and Mewtwo) are out on October 29th in Japan.

 

[Draxal]

Wonder if they're importing America/Euro Rob as well.

Oh, it absolutely was New Leaf that has done great things for the series and like I said, I think Isabelle is great, I don't dislike her. It's just in terms of a mascot for the series, I don't but to each their own I guess. K.K. Slider forever!

Feels incomplete without Ice Climbers though
