Lucky.
None of the current sellers ship to the US... I don't know why though, several of them are fulfilled by Amazon...SmackAttack

Ah, should have guessed when you said Palutena. Wish she wasn't Amazon exclusive here.

Just out of curiosity, do we know what the Shadow Mewtwo amiibo card looks like yet? I was hoping for an unboxing or pics of the card at least. I'd like to know if it's in plastic cellophane and if it's closer to the AC cards or something different

Not sure how it will be packaged or what's on the back, but here's what the front of the card looks like:
Play the game a bunch and unlock him in there.

IT'S PIKACHU
It's obviously Bowser from the grunt and the claw pose. Poor Miyamoto, someone must've blackmailed him into doing this.

Mario.

He's not peeing his pants, so it isn't Link.

Finally got Twilight Princess HD and the accompanying amiibo from Amazon.
The figure has some nice detail. Midna's face isn't perfect, but I like that they actually put some thought into the base.
Got a link for that metroid background?

For UK peeps, Ryu seems to be getting dispatched to some people. Just got this confirmation email:
Ordered Roy, but it seems he'll be arriving a bit later.

Nintendo/Whoever/Gamestop is really trying to sell these Animal Crossing amiibo.

Peagles pls buy them all
I only got the 250 yen ones (the llama things, KK, Tom, Mabel, and someone else) but if the rest come down I'll grab them.
Went to Best Buy today to return some busted up Amiibos they sent me in the mail in a bubble pack, and low and behold they had a Sonic and a Silver Mario on the shelf! Marios package is pretty busted, and I have another one coming in the mail already, but I can probably find someone to trade with that does not care about the packaging I suppose. Still really jazzed about it, haha.

Finally got aroudn to opening up my Skylander Amiibo. Are the paintjobs normally this bad for Skylanbders?? DK has spots missing from his white teeth, and then a splash of white got on his nose >_> Bowser is better though, don't see much wrong on him. The plastic of the 2 pack that I took them out of almost felt greasy too. Ew.
EDIT: scratch that, Bowser's MOUTH isn't even fully glued/attached to his face :/

And now my order of Roy has been dispatched!
Should have Roy and Ryu either tomorrow or friday by the looks of it.

Yeah, if you've been collecting Amiibos, you're spoiled on quality. Skylanders are terrible, especially the Skymiibos for some reason.
Ugh didn't think they'd be this bad :/ Dark DK was actually the best of the 3. I think I'll contact Amazon today about replacing the Bowser though. His mouth is stuck and it looks terrible that it's detached and not glued into the face all the way :/ I assume they aren't all like that.

You've got my luck with BB and shipments. I never get my packages before 6:30pm CST, brutal when I order early and don't want to do store pickup. Should get Senran Kagura tomorrow night and my Ryu and Famicom Rob late Friday.

My Ryu is one the way from Amazon.
Your move,Roy from Gamestop. Let's see who can arrive at my house on time.
Probably Ryu cause GS sucks at shipping quickly

I don't know that it is officially rare, but I got back into collecting Amiibos about five months ago after dipping out a few months after launch. And since I started back I have not seen a single one at retail. So, at least for the last five months they have been rare to find at retail here in Nashville.
Silver Mario is one of the only amiibos I havent seen anywhere lately. Seems like its one of the few that hasnt gotten a reprint.

Kissed a mod for a tag; liked it
I've never seen one in a shop here in Australia. Even being an EB games exclusive there have been none in stores. Happy I got it pre ordered tbh.
So is Roy streetdated in GS systems? Usually they call me as they get em in with most of the pre-orders last year, outside of the Retor 3-pack that they stuck to the date on.
Either way, got all the AC amiibos, Ryu, and Famirob from Best buy tomorrow.
I may pick up an extra of each to take out of the boxes too.
Especially Ryu.

My Ryu from Amazon will be here tomorrow. This is the first Amiibo I've purchased in awhile.

And I just got Roy and Ryu from Nintendo UK. Time to unpackage 'em!
I've had Ryu and ROB pre-ordered from Amazon since February and they still haven't been shipped even though it says that I should be getting them tomorrow by 8 PM. Should I start getting worried?
EDIT: nvm it seems that the order finally changed to Shipping Today. I wonder what took them so long.

Wow I totally forgot about Ryu and Roy. I just checked my email and they are both ready for pickup tomorrow. This kinda made my day. Thanks Gaf for the reminder!

GS just sent me a shipping email for Roy, estimated delivery date: Mar 24th
Way to be on top of things, Game stop. Don't bother shipping things out early so they arrive at peoples houses on release day like Amazon does, people might start to not hate you as much.
