Amiibo Thread 8 | Expecting reprints? Too bad. Waluigi time.

Anyone know how amazon ships the 3-packs? Trying to get another splatoon pack but months ago they shipped it in a huge box and it was crushed.

I have all of them pre-ordered on Amazon, which in total saved about $10 after the Prime discount.

I would assume most stores would have them, though maybe they'll sell quicker since Link was the most popular here in the US & it's the holiday season.

Any tips on getting the Zelda line of amiibo? They come out this week, will stores like WM have all of them?

I've noticed that Toys R Us and target stocked them the same day but wal-mart was always late. It depends but Toys R Us in my area is hardly ever packed and they open pretty late. They also have the biggest amiibo selection by far. When I wanted one I went to toys r us first and usually got what I wanted the day of release. Not counting the first few early releases where people were lining up.

Thank you both. I was thinking about getting them alongside some other products using the visa $25 off $100 but I guess then I can't use BB GCs. I guess BB will let you pre-order for in-store pickup (which seems like a good bet unless anyone here has had bad experiences with that and amiibo) but the store that has two of the amiibo doesn't have the other one. Maybe she doesn't care about 8-bit Link, though. :/

Hmm I wonder if she even cares about Ocarina Link.. but I'm concerned these will be hard to find later... anyway, will figure it out. Thanks again!

Gamestop has a free shipping code, I think it is SAVER if the amount is over $25.

Toys R Us has all three Zelda amiibo in stock. Free shipping for orders over $19.

Great, thank you!

BTW, the SAVER code is I think only for in-stock items and regardless wasn't getting rid of the handling fees. Thanks though!

Edit: ugh why are they each $1 over MSRP ;__;

That is strange...I don't see any handling fee's on the checkout page. I only see the shipping charge. Maybe some type of regional fee?

Thanks for checking! It's past the first checkout page, once you enter billing info. I think. Hmm, how much are you seeing for shipping? Did the coupon work? Seems like TRU might be my best bet...

Ah, I see it now after trying to check out all three at once. My earlier OOT link + other items order doesn't have the fee applied. I researched it and apparently they charge an additional fee for irregular shaped items and randomly attach it to amiibos and other similar figurines. That sucks. Might be possible to still get it in store at gamestop on the 2nd.

Oh, I see. Thanks for researching it, I really appreciate that. I think for convenience's sake if I can't figure out how to get the items shipped w/o that fee I may just spend the extra $1 per each for TRU. Thanks again!

YO, CHECK YOUR WALMART. I went to pick up the Lego Sonic when I saw they had three of the 8-bit Link amiibo already out.
 
The trade thread is dead, so I thought I'd ask here...

Anyone willing to part with a Wolf Link Amiibo? Preferably NIB. I have both Robin and Marth NIB I'm willing to fork out.

That Miitopua game has confirmed to have amiibo support. Trailer showed that you can earn costumes like Mario, Link, & Isabelle for your Miis. Wonder what the full list will look like.

Zelda series amiibo out in the wild. Where are those hot photos?

Also no amiibo support in Super Mario Maker 3DS. Game is dead to me.

What? Are all the costumes just already selectable in the game, no Amiibo scan needed? Or are they stripped out of the game entirely?

Are they? Target had the Animal Crossing Welcome Amiibo Cards out on the shelf yesterday, but the register blocked the sale.

I kept forgetting the Zelda ones were even out this week! You know, it's nice... I still pre-order them (old mentality :p), but I'm glad that not only has production slowed down with them (my wallet is thankful!) but no more lines, scalping, etc.

Saw someone in the UK post up (low res) photos. They're out here (Australia) for wide release in like a day I think.

Oh also the Donkey Kong Super Mario amiibo is one of the best yet. Picked it up and love how big it feels, but still detailed. Especially good after the Smash one had derp face.

TRU saved you from yourself

save your money, buy them from Best Buy with GCU

They didn't have them all at my local BBs (for in-store pickup). I'd have to go to multiple, including one not too close by. Luckily a kind GAFer is picking up and sending to me. The GCU savings will be ~ the shipping cost, I think.

Sweet, Zelda amiibo have shipped from Amazon. Can't wait to get them tomorrow. They'll bring my total count to 74.
 
Got an email last night saying the new Zelda amiibo will be ready to pick up at Best Buy today. Checked my order and see that the 2-pack isn't there, only 8-bit and OOT Link. They definitely charged me for all of them, though!

Went to Target and they had 8-bit and Toon but no Ocarina. No Targets in the area seem to really have them. Guess I will have to investigate Best Buy or TRU.

I don't even wanna count how many I have.

I have them all, minus the cards and Mega Yarn Yoshi.

If you want to pick up a Mega Yarn Yoshi for cheap, Target has them for $10.53 when you use the code GAME. http://www.target.com/p/nintendo-green-yarn-yoshi-amiibo-figure-for-s-woolly-world/-/A-24012012

[edit] That code works for all Amiibos, too, including the new Super Mario line Wario, who is also on sale for $10.99: http://www.target.com/p/nintendo-wa...pipadh1|related_prods_vv|pdpipadh1|49157977|0

That link is taking me to OG Yarn Yoshi, though. Is Mega on sale?

Yo thanks for this. I already picked up the new ones in the Mario line, but I appreciate it!
Thanks Dan!

Yeah, it's just the normal, little green one in that link.

I'm sorry, I didn't look closely enough. It was so big on my screen! I thought it was the mega one. It doesn't look like Target has Mega Yarn Yoshi at all. =\

booooooo, I thought my amiibo were coming today, but turns out they're not arriving until tomorrow.

Oh hey, it DID come today, just by UPS. Huh. 8-bit Link's nose looks a little too long, but it's still really neat, especially the sword that's on his back. Hoping we get to see more 8-Bit amiibos.

Does the Toon Link work as expected in Smash?
Back of the box shows 3 games that it works on: Twilight Princess HD, Hyrule Warriors Legends, & Super Smash Bros Wii U/3DS. Also mentions Breath of the Wild. So I would assume yes.
