mewtwo hitting retailers today? exclusive or nah?

I just saw 3 in Target about an hour ago

 

[RurouniZel]

Won't be able to make an attempt on Mewtwo for another few hours when I leave work.

Is he going quickly, or low in quantity?

My local TRU had about 15-ish mew twos when I was there this afternoon.

 

[bigkrev]

Thanks for the advice on selling Gold Mario

I listed it on ebay for 55 dollars, and it sold in under 2 hours

Spoiler

should have asked for 60

Depends on where you live. My Best Buy, Target, and TRU were all sold out within an hour of opening. Had to settle for Gamestop where they still had some 15 sitting there.

 

[ngower]

One of the two Targets in my ~90k city had 2 Mewtwo's when I went in earlier today, and we usually get picked quickly because it's right on the border of Mass and people come here for the tax-free shopping.

 

[HardRojo]

Will be picking up my Mewtwo amiibo in a couple of hours. I've read it looks amazing.

 

[Beren the Empty-Handed]

I'll take one off your hands.

Sure, but fair warning I did two because I screwed up the billing address on the first one, and they won't let me change it. So I was worried they'd cancel it. If they don't, and you still need one, I'll keep the pre-order if you like.

 

[maxcriden]

Are we thinking Best Buy will have another round of preorders for TP HD + amiibo, or was the one yesterday the end?

 

[KingWool]

Anyone know the trade in value for Amiibo Festival [just the game?]

I was just kidding, I got Ganondorf for cheap a while back.

None of the retailers seem to have it in their system for trade in yet. Maybe tomorrow. If I were to guess, I would say around $20.

 

[RurouniZel]

I'll be to GameStop in about 2 hours. Will report back then.

 

[Zonic]

So did any other amiibos get restocked along with the shipment of Mewtwos? Maybe another restock when Falco hits Best Buy?

 

[maxcriden]

I'll be to GameStop in about 2 hours. Will report back then.

Can I humbly ask you to check the Rodea Wii U trade-in value as well? I want to be a jerk and get the game, keep the Wii disc, and trade in. Does that make me a terrible person...?\

ETA: please also ask if you need to trade in the Wii game with it. Thank you!

 

[WordAssassin]

Messaged you about info!

Ah thank you!

So if I've interpreted the Direct correctly, Isabelle is *only* available in the amiibo festival set? Ughhh, I don't even want the game! But I must do anything for my waifu.

From what it sounded like to me, Isabelle and Diggby are only available in Ambiibo Festival *currently* and Diggby will only ever be included in the bundle. So that sounds like Isabelle will eventually be sold on her own but if you want Diggby you'll have to buy the bundle.

 

[Beren the Empty-Handed]

Ah, got it. No worries then!

 

[Kitoro]

Ah thank you!

Actually, Digby is only available for a limited time in the bundle, and then will disappear. Isabelle will always come with the game.

 

[SmackAttack]

I wish I could go out today and spend more money I don't have on amiibos but I have to resist. It pains to resist but I must. Awesome to see you guys picking them up. They look great.

 

[Draxal]

Isabelle amiibo might be my new favorite.

Picked up mewtwo easily at like 2pm. nice change from when I bailed on this stuff.

Got green yarn yoshis too, so cute.

So did any other amiibos get restocked along with the shipment of Mewtwos? Maybe another restock when Falco hits Best Buy?

I didn't see any. My best buy still has a ton of marths from the last restock with that standup display.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

6 Mewtwos at my Gamestop available without preorder. Just to throw another hat into the "Mewtwo is going to be available" pile.

 

[brianmcdoogle]

btw, Candy Land is a more fun and interesting game so far than the Animal Crossing amiibo festival "board game".

I don't know. My wife and I had fun playing it with our daughter this morning. It's very charming.

 

[Hylian7]

Mewtwo went live on Amazon. GOT ONE!

 

[RedBoot]

Mewtwo's up on Amazon (though you may have to go to the individual sellers page and sort by free shipping).

 

[JavyOO7]

Per amiiboNews twitter, Mewtwo on Amazon for $12.99.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014KXMM94/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Look for Amazon listing.

 

[Platy]

Anyone knows if the Midna/Wolf Link amiibo will be avaliable without the Twilight Princess Bundle ?

Also, preorder on best buy is back

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/the-leg...ii-u/8476002.p?id=1219692427284&skuId=8476002

I want only the amiibo I am not sure if I preorder or wait for only the amiibo =x

 

[RurouniZel]

Back from Gamestop. Sadly the trade value for the game only is $16.50. I'm sure they anticipated scabbers like myself.

Hopefully the pre-order will be up next week.

Honestly that's not bad, especially for a game that's currently bundle-only and need Amiibos to play, so I wouldn't even expect a market for just the game. They will probably sell it for like $30 alone or something, but the important part is if people don't have any use for the game to get rid of it QUICK before that number depreciates further.

 

[brianmcdoogle]

How old is your daughter, by chance? I'm sure I had an ok time playing with my niece and nephew at ages 4 and 6 1/2, but even they got bored, and the 4 year old had trouble reading and getting a lot of the jokes.

I guess, I consider Candy Land to be a very young game where you don't do much of anything and you just play through it. No skill, all luck, and basic involvement. That's What Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival is for me. There's some cute writing every turn, but that's it. The only real strategy or game mechanic is deciding when to buy and sell turnips. Everything else is just rolling your turn and letting things play out as they do.

I guess, for people who haven't played it, expect something with even less player involvement than Mario Party 10, which is already an incredible neutered and early-age Mario Party game.

 

[SmackAttack]

I think we might have to wait a little longer for confirmation on this.

 

[ngower]

Fairly disappointing. I suspect it'll be $14-18 at Best Buy. Which means if you were to get the game with GCU for $48, minus let's say $15, you're paying $33 for two amiibo. Hm.

Will keep an eye on ebay and Amazon for sellers as well.

3 and a half.

My wife and I were talking about playing it by ourselves when I got home from work.

We both really like Animal Crossing though.

 

[Neifirst]

I had that amiibo festival game in my bestbuy.com cart so many times but could never pull the trigger. Just got the Tom Nook instead. I think I made the right choice.

 

[Bane]

Got a Mewtwo on order and Tom Nook is on the way. It's a good day.

 

[Fourth Storm]

I caved and got Mewtwo at TRU today. I said I would skip DLC characters and just be done. I am weak.

 

[georly]

My brother's GF is looking into buying the animal crossing cards and then making sculptures (I think out of clay, not sure) for the characters that don't have their own amiibo, attaching the NFC chip to the bottom and then selling them on etsy.

She wants to know which ones would be the most desirable ones that aren't getting official amiibo figures.

I'm not into AC all that much, so I figured i'd ask you guys which amiibo figure you WISH existed but is only in card form.

Here is the nana(?) she made:

 

[InfiniteBento]

Stumbled into my local game shop and found a green yarn yoshi !

I now have all three :')

edit: also came home to my amiibo festival bundle ! aahhhhhhhhhhhh

That Nana is amazing! I love the idea of making figures for cards. Also, you know who deserves it the most--my main cat Bob!

 

[Thoraxes]

Spent lunch acquiring Amiibos. Gonna trade the game in to Gamestop anyway toward Xeno X CE.

What have I become?

A super-cool guy, like me. Except I opened mine.

*pics to come in a little bit*

 

[HardRojo]

Mewtwo looks so good.

 

[RurouniZel]

Yay!

I opened mine too once I got home. Set the amiibo freeeee! XD

 

[properpropaganda]

C'mon Nintendo, theres no way you can't resist capitalizing on Hyrule Warrior amiibo lineup. I will throw my money at you

I need me a Linkle amiibo.

 

[georly]

I'll pass on the info!

 

[properpropaganda]

Anyone want a pack of animal crossing cards for say $1 + shipping or any type of cheep digital game? I bought a pack just to check them out and they're just kinda sitting there. I don't even own the game.

Spoiler

I doubt anyone here still really needs any, but hey.....

 

[The12thGripper]

"I'll never get the Animal Crossing amiibo, their functionality sucks and I don't like most of the characters!

While I was watching the Direct, it became fairly obvious that amiibo Festival is going to be really bad so I'm gonna return all of the Animal Crossing amiibo when they arrive.

Super hyped about Mega Yarn Yoshi on Sunday though.
