Basically, they're Skylanders: Nintendo Edition.
People are going shit-fuck crazy for them. Some paying over $100 for one of these dinky things.

Robin, Lucina, and the W4 amiibo bundle all sold out before even going up for pre-order.
Nintendo seal of supply and demand everybody.

Are most of y'all keeping them in their packages or using them?
I rip them open and put them here and there.
I'm doing both. My sister found a way to open them without visibly damaging the box.

I think the main appeal to them is that they're actual figures of Nintendo characters. Nintendo hasn't done very much in the way of merchandising their characters as figures in the past, and especially not in such a variety as we're seeing here. But I really wish they were larger. I might actually have been interested in them.
Phew, I'm safe!
Anyway, I'm not that into figurines and stuff, but a few Amiibo really caught my attention. I fucking love Metroid, so picking up my gal Samus together with Smash last year was a no brainer. Plus I got her for free because I had a gift card. But last month I actually got two more; Mega Man looks really nice and because of my Fire Emblem love I couldn't resist Ike. So yeah, hopefully I'm done after the Wooley Yoshi Amiibo.

I'm glad for not choosing the collector path though. Nintendo really has a problem producing/shipping them.

I waited over an hour, maybe two, but my Inkling Boy is secure.
Any thoughts of getting Robin were dashed during my wait.

They're really stupid
I bought one for the Hyrule Warriors weapon though but I didnt pay full price and it's link which took 1 trip to a store to find one anyway so I still feel okay about myself
oh wait comics
I read the last ms marvel
I really really really love this book.
Pls no stop
Wait, the Inkling pre-order? Now? Damn. America is dead serious about Amiibo's. And man those damn FE characters. Nintendo being mean.
Oh wait comics
I just read Ultron Forever, that was quite amazing. I love
how Captain America is actually Danielle Cage! Her "I am the Shield!" line is awesome.

I don't even like the original evil dead, take your anime trees and get outta here while i watch the superior Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness.
Sometimes here, you make enemies.
And other times, best friends.
I prefer my horror movies scarry
I like Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness, too, but I was so fucking blown away as I watched Evil Dead a couple of years ago for the first time. Only Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Day of the Dead topped this for me.
Also, they went to hilarious from time to time. Still, I a, very sad that there wont be a Army of Darkness 2

Ash vs Evil Dead though. I'm sad we never got Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash outside of the comics.
Army of Darkness is one of my favourite films.
To bad that the Freddy Vs. Jason Vs. Ash Trade is out of print and sells for >150
At least I have my Army of Darkness Vs. Marvel Zombies comics...

Have you ever watched The House of the Devil? Good stuff. Horror movie done with an old 80s/late 70s style to it. A bit of a slow burn.I prefer my horror movies scarry

Horror/Scary movies are pretty much the hardest kind of movies to make well IMO

Jesus, really? I have that, or I used to at least. It's probably gone like how I lost a bunch of Marvel trades in a move. I'm gonna go look for that tomorrow.

It's probably easier to get a Batgirl Joker variant than amiibos.
gawdamn
Never move to Vancouver, friend.
In other news, did anyone bring up the benefit being run for Wilfredo Torres and family? He just lost his wife to cancer (ugh) and several artists have come together to auction off pieces with all proceeds going to the Torres family. This Doc Shaner piece is pretty sweet, but there are a lot more to be found out there. I don't do promotional stuff much here, but figured an exception could be made for this.
There is right now a 112$ Trade on ebay... And there is still a lo of time left. Its really at a insane price ans since its a crossover, it will likely still get higher.
And I found a cheap replica of a Jason hockey mask. I need to have this one
And then I need a Freddy Glove.Looks like something I would like. Thanks for the recommemdation
And yes, a good Horrormovie is incredible hard to pull of if you dont want to make stupid jumpscares. Its all about thr atmosphere.
Edit: Ordered. 9 is a good price and I am starving for Horrormovies. Will post when Ive seen it
I stood in line for two damn hours. People in line ahead of me left with dashed hopes and dreams. Quite a few from AmiiboGAF also called it quits on the whole amiibo collecting all together.
Amiibros of comicGAF endure. Never give up, Baron. I salute thee.

Indeed. I'd have bought that three-pack if I could afford it.
I remember the guy right in front of me leaving when Robin and Lucina were announced to be sold out.
But we made it, amiibro.
I'm down for some donating. Fuck cancer.
Edit: I'm going to sit on these for a few days. Bidding now is just an empty gesture. I'll wait till the final hour to bid and spend my cash.

I don't think so.
I blame Ultron Prime for all of this.
