Seen on Miiverse once someone name their FEbos something like Buff Marth, Girl Marth and Not Marth.
I know Diggeh likes posts in his OT
so I figured I'd make a post while camping for MYY. Showed up around 9 AM and was fourth in line. Had a few more peeps show up after me. People in front were telling me there's 24 at this location, so hopefully this is a wrap!
Any other west coasters camping out right now? Or did others already past 10 have anything to share?
Hold on to that OT8 dream you crazy diamond

Finally got Mega Yarn Yoshi!!!
I got there just as the store opened. There were five or six people in line. I walked in and saw that they all had a MYY. I went over to the section and they were gone!
I asked an employee how many they got and he had no idea. I asked if they got more than six and another employee overheard and said they still had more behind the counter. Then he handed me one!

Got to my closet store about 15 minutes or so before opening. There were 6 people in front of me and they ended up having 30, so I got one. Finally!

I love this display
And yes of course vehicles go to the bottom I finally ordered a copy of Skylanders Dark Version for Wii. Price really won't come down, and the Amazon sellers were running out :/ Hopefully I can Craigslist the rest of it for a good amount. After that (and receiving my TimmyTommy...) collection complete! ...until the last DLC batch and Kirby set. Feels good
Where did you get that stand/holder for your amiibo? It looks nice.

That was definitely my most expensive amiibo-related purchase. The cheapest I saw them were $75 at Toys R Us. I was able to get the Wii U Dark Edition for $18 though so I didn't mind eating the $75 to complete my collection after that.
I got it from Best Buy. It's sale for $40 right now but it's been cheaper. (I got mine for $30)
I got my WiiU version for $30, which I justified because well, the double packs are already $25 (got mine for $20 each thanks to Prime pre-order 20% off) and hopefully I'll sell it for close to cost. Dunno how much Skylanders is in demand anymore, though. The Wii set I got at $52 on Amazon, no tax. TRU still sells them for like $100 ouch. Hopefully I can make some of it back, but yeah. At least I finally got it

Oh man, 8-Bit Nintendo Family amiibo set. OH MAN WHAT IF?

Story time:
So I called Toys r Us to check on MYY stock. An employee answered and told me he would check and put me on hold for close to five minutes. When he came back on the line, he seemed surprised that I was still waiting and proceeded to tell me that they had two MYYs in the back, but wasn't sure if they are pre-sold or not. He then advised to me to call back in two hours and he will have an answer from his manager. It was 5:50 PM, and the store closed at 8:00 PM. Once I brought this to his attention, he said call back in thirty minutes and he will have an answer. I said okay and admittedly jumped into the car, arriving at Toys R Us around 7 minutes after the call had ended. When I reached the electronics, I approached the first employee I saw and it turns out to be the same guy I talked to on the phone. He nervously laughed and told me that I got here super quick, which I replied to with a smile and a simple "can I buy one of the MYYs you mentioned please?". He tells me to wait here, he had to check on something first. So I waited for five minutes while he talked to some other employee at a far enough distance away to where I couldn't hear the content of their conversation. He then walks past me and slides behind the counter, not saying a thing, and pulls out a horizontally-laid MYY from the back of the top shelve, obscured by a mountain of villager Amiibos convientally placed towards the front. He rings me up and hands me the bag. I say thanks and he just nods.
I felt like a bandit walking off with my MYY, but it was well worth the trouble!

an 8-bit Samus would just be the Tombstone from LOZ's graveyard.
I'll never find that World of Nintendo 6' Metroid figure ;_;
I was super lucky on that. I heard about how rare it was and found one randomly in a TRU on the not so good part of town, while randomly browsing. It's pretty awesome. Hope you can get out at MSRP because ouch at those eBay scalp prices!

Yeah they really stepped up their game recently. Wish that kind of quality was there from the start.

Was hoping to pick up 2 during Targets BOGO 50% off, but man the selection online is bad. Don't even have Mario from the Super Mario line? Really? My in-store selection is awful as well.
Bummer.

What's the word on Wolf Link releasing separately in NA? Would really like to get my hands on one, but will be buying Twilight Princess digitally.
Been a good few days of amiibo collecting.
On Friday I attended C2E2 and managed to get Pit (about time), Lucina, Golden Mega Man (without the game but I don't need the game) TC Donkey Kong and HS Bowser.
On Saturday I picked up Ryu and Rover. I wanted to get ROB Famicom but they were out. So I bought it on Amazon. It came today.
Roy should come in tomorrow.
Still need Robin, the Mii Fighters, the Dark Skylanders (hoo boy) and quite a few Animal Crossing amiibo (I'll take advantage of the Target special this week).

If it's anything like the Green Yarn Yoshi, it should take about a month after the initial release of the bundle.
There is no word; please understand, and enjoy your experience shopping at Family Video, where Twilight Princess bundles will be taken apart to sell the game and Amiibo separately.

After picking up the Mii Fighters for 40% off with the purchase of Mega Yarn Yoshi, I am now the owner of 87 different amiibo.
I am still 9 away from a complete US collection but I can wait for fire sales.

And I'm starting to get that feeling again that I want to open them all. Yes, the packaging is nice and I've come so far for a mint collection, but the older I get, the more I realize they're worth just as much to me out-of-box. I'm getting a little tired of buying two of everything. Two amiibo, two copies of a CE game, two of an LE system... And for what? They're nice to look at and know you own, but they just get stuffed in boxes in the back of the closet. They don't enrich my life in any way. I guess I'm just pondering my mortality at 29.

Three packs into Series 3 and I already have 3 duplicate cards (1 in my second, 2 in my third). Damn, series 1 I didn't get any duplicates until my 5th pack.
Went to my Target yesterday and today and both times they didn't have any of the new amiibo that came out on Friday. So I asked an employee today if they had any in stock of the Timmy & Tommy one (it said there were 13 online) and he went back and got one. I grabbed another random amiibo as well for the sale they're having but it's pretty ridiculous that they still haven't even put out new stock from Friday. I'll grab the other two Animal Crossing amiibo when they inevitably go on sale though. But it was still pretty ridiculous!

Picked up Roy on Saturday, along with a Nathan Drake Pop figure from GameStop (had a preorder on PXZ2 that I forgot about and just rolled the money over for Drake).
I'm super-impressed with the detail and paint job on him - really clean and well detailed.
Bring on Cloud and Corrin. Oh and Bayo.

Jet.com has the dark edition wii for $53 right now. If they have a new member discount even better. They ship directly from toys r us. I picked mine up around Christmas time for $50 after the new member discount and amex has an additional $15 back...so $35 after all discounts wasn't bad.

Probably should say I got the Ryu one a couple of days ago, and I think it's the best looking one so far. Pretty hyped for the Bayonetta one, too.
