Hmmm. So much down time. What to do. Collect the whole set over again...from a different region?!?!?!

Eh downtime happens when collecting these type of things. It's a good thing since it gives people time to catch up if they are behind or to simply not overwhelm them by releasing too many at once.

Too many waves in quick succession breaks the dam and all that.

Probably should return the extra Megaman and sonics I bought for trade purposes while it's still within the refund date, shouldn't I? Don't suppose I'm gonna be able to trade much with those...

Didn't know Mega Man became so common... just walked into an EB because I was passing by and they had at least 12 or more.

Ha. And after I stressed so much over finding him.

Be nice if Shulk, Meta Knight, and Ike had the same good fortune >_>

Game Mania (Toronto) just got some Japanese Dedede in. Apparently charging $35 for him, according to Facebook. Yikes..

Cancelled my Toad and Luigi, as well as my Mario Party 10 bunde pre-order. I've had enough time to mull over if I want them or not and I'm busy enough with MonHun and Xenoblade coming soon.

I think it's more of I don't have a huge love for all of Nintendo characters. Mario Party will always be there and I can grab any Mario and use it. And yes, my love of Toad isn't massive.

I canceled my Toad too, I decided I don't want Captain Toad anymore.

I don't want Amiibos I can't even use, if he will be usable in a game other than that and MP they will restock him anyways.

Never liked Toad, was caught up in the hype.

I think I'm going to keep Toad, but I'll probably return Luigi. Running low on funds.

I wish it was a Captain Toad amiibo

I stuck with the "get the characters I like" mentality. But eventually with the fear of scarcity I went for pre-orders to at least determine if I care for these rares.

Might as well save my money for if Nintendo ever releases those Splatoon amiibos because I actually have an earnest interest in that.

I'd understand the allure of a Captain Toad amiibo (I enjoy the game too). But plain Toad doesn't feel remarkable.

More or less, I'm just banking on Nintendo holding true to their statement of these being widely available.

So are Megaman and/or Sonic rare at all?



Found that at Walmart. I'll ask the other Amiibo thread too.

At first it seemed like they'd be rare...

then it seemed like they'd be merely uncommon...

now they seem to be everywhere, haha

Discuss. Personally I always have a tab opened to this thread so I don't exactly go into a panic if it gets bumped up on the main page.

Sidenote. With me helping my son collect amiibos, I've now got the collecting itch again and have begun collecting Funko's Mystery Minis. Scooped up most of the Game Of Thrones figures now. Got the SDCC In Memoriam set, and just placed an order for a case of series 2. I said I'd never buy them without knowing what I'm getting but heck...that rule crashed and burned apparently.

Best part about Mystery Minis? You HAVE to open them if you want to know what you got!!! No more packaging paranoia (just sloppy paint aps but...I digress).

Huh...so weird that Mario line Bowser is sold out on Futureshop's site, maybe there's less of him.

I don't reallyyyyyy want 2 Bowsers so I only got the Smash one.

EDIT: Also on EB's site.

The calm before the storm. Wave 4 is upon us and it will be hell.
New challenges to face:

-Unexpected rarity for amiibos
-Unexpected date for when preorders will arrive
-More competition: New amiibo collectors and scalpers
-Limit one per customer and lack of availability of importing due to high demand.

People are recovering and patching up those wallets and bank accounts.
The storm will hit soon and people are recovering from the past waves.

I like to imagine as amiibo collectors on a boat in the middle of the ocean and each amiibo wave is a tidal wave either to knock people of their boats. If they got knocked off they have to find a way to climb back in (by collecting amiibo, ones they miss they have to pay ridiculous prices to scalpers).

My wallet isn't ready yet though.

Best Buy's email says the Mario Amiibos are available March 27, lol.

But the page for Bowser, Luigi and Peach say March 20.

Nice job Best Buy.
