Wait, you can put your New 3DS underneath that Callie/Marie diorama & have it act as a screen?

WHY ARE THESE NOT AVAILABLE IN THE US?!

I saw an Etrian Odyssey diorama awhile back, but it didn't look like it had anything to do with Amiibo.

And fuck, now I need to buy that Animal Crossing one.

What's the amiibo situation like in the US? Here in the UK it's now pretty easy to get hold of any amiibo besides special edition ones (like the golden or retro modern-coloured Mario).

Stock seems to be a lot better now. Recently went to a gamestop and still saw Roy. However the smash line is still pretty hit or miss. You might run into some, but a lot of the cool ones are gone. You aren't going anywhere and finding lucina for example.

Head on with hit-and-miss. I haven't seen Smash Mario anywhere in the last month. ...Or Peach, now that I think on it. But to my knowledge they're still considered common. Probably just from the sheer amounts of them in the past.

I feel for amiibo collectors of the future. Imagine you just started a collection in the year 2017. Even the ever-spreading Peach would be hard to find.

Batteries the CRISIS!
How's the U.S. Amiibo stock? It's all Animal Crossing.



...with some Splatoon and a few Smash line figures that were recently restocked like Marth

Finally bit the bullet and started grabbing Animal Crossing figures since a lot of them are cheap on Amazon.

Picked up Resetti, Rover, Tom Nook, and Kapp'n to start with

The floodgates are open

Ace Attorney amiibo
Dragon Ball amiibo
Disney amiibo

I need all they amiibo
Click to expand...

Yeah, while I thought it was douchey what Disney did, it now allows them to have collabs with Lego and Nintendo.

Zelda Amiibo is going to be the big thing this year, they have to do it.

Priced around 15-16 bucks if using YEN -> USD conversion.

However, these are also prototypes, so they're not going to look as nice as these.

Well damn. I'm not into MH, but those look rather nice.

Then watch as they make amiibo based on the main series. ALL THE FELYNES THEY COULD MAKE. IT WOULD SELL GANGBUSTERS.

Those don't even look like amiibos.

They look way better.

It's probably either the promo ones like we saw with smash (which all looked better than the main line), or they're planning on upping the price for higher quality. Betting on it just being promo though.

I did savor the moment for one minute. But I don't want to get excited for something to have it crash down on me. :c

I'd be super happy to be proven wrong! Monster Hunter is one of my favorite series, and if these do look good and do sell well enough to open the gates for Mainline amiibo I'd just about be the happiest person. I absolutely need a Yian Kut-Ku. And Lagiacrus... Ukanlos, Rajang, Rathian, Royal Ludroth, Blangon-- basically it's my Pokemon lol.

Those Monster Hunter amiibo; goodness they look nice.

So what's the next Third Party amiibo line-up gonna be. Yo-kai Watch has to be a good bet I'd imagine.

Oh you didn't know? Yo-Kai Watch is poised to murder Pokemon and piss in the mouth of its smoldering corpse. It's definitely going to happen.

I kid, Yo-Kai fans, I kid. I think it actually has a decent possibility of happening

I'm sorry, I've had her all this time next to me

I'm confused. You can find Lucina and Robin for like 20 dollars online. What's the point in waiting for Toys R Us
Click to expand...
TRU = $13

Elsewhere = $20

YOU KNOW WHAT I COULD DO WITH THAT $7?!? I COULD BUY A DISCOUNTED ANIMAL CROSSING AMIIBO!!!

........well that & I could've combined my order for Robin with the Mii Fighters. Plus some people might want US prints for consistency with their collection or something.
