gone already -.-
Kids aren't allowed soft toys of their favourite characters now? Or did we forget this isn't just a market for adults?

Yeah, the Mega Yarn Yoshi is silly. It's not even as cute as the small ones. I expect it functions exactly as a Green Yarn Yoshi too, I can't see them letting you summon a Mega Yoshi on each stage, haha.
At least we have dates now for remaining stuff.
Wait, where's Mewtwo? Or do we have that date?

So plush toys are dumb now? Last thing I heard they are pretty popular among kids.

I honestly believe that they will restock him for decmeber, either on its own but more believably in a bundle with XC3d. If you really want him, i would suggest buying him now though.

Would've posted this earlier but I was temp banned. I did actually buy 5 packs of JPN cards.
Feel free to ask any questions about these.
I think the main one is:
Are they worth it?
Well, seeing stuff like this:
Hell no. I'm gonna be honest. I'm a huge fan of Animal Crossing and Amiibos, but this is really hard to justify the price. What's more is that they are random. I'm sure there'll be trading sessions happening here but it could be a lot better for collecting these cards, especially since there are going to be hundreds of these.
Also, don't import from japan if you're looking to get English cards.
At most I'd say grab 2 or 3 pack to see what they're like and to say you have some.

Just to note that Amazon UK dropped the price of the Amiibo Animal Crossing cards to £4.85
That's still a good £1.35 dearer than the Nintendo UK store though, which is significant.
To follow up on my previous post, I actually managed to get Amazon to price match the cards at £3.49 from Nintendo UK. I scored 6 packs at that price from Amazon, but they said that was only an exception and that they wouldn't drop the regular price of the cards to match.

Did they forget to mark them as 1 per customer?
Well that's nice. The final two Amiibos (G&W and ROB) that I wanted from the Smash line (of what we've seen) ordered with no fuss. I seem to have been lucky with Amiibos. Not really sought after them and the few I've wanted I've managed to get for RRP (or less since the Splatoon triple pack was a Japanese import that came to £15) with no trouble.

Though it doesn't say it, I wasn't able to get more than one ROB in my basket.

I have every single Amiibo up until this point. However, all of a sudden I feel like a responsible adult who wants to save money and have no interest in getting the rest :/ £70 for 6 more amiibo and it still doesn't end... I think I'm done. It's a shame because rob, game and watch and duck hunt look so cool. I really should just complete the collection and never splash on anything like this again but with the mega yoshi and more amiibo to come it's still not too late to quit. What to do? What will I do with the amiibo I already have? Decisions decisions.
The Smash collection is almost done. Just finish that and don't start any others

Thats not a bad idea. At least it's a set rather than getting every single Amiibo. I'd therefore save on getting chibi robo, mega yoshi, animal crossing and animal crossing cards.
I'm dreading the inevitable Pokkén figures

well with pokemon's 20th anniversary next year, i wouldn't rule out a pokemon collection featuring many favourites as well as the ones from pokken. I really would love a Flygon or Ampharos amiibo!
Why do you hate me?
At least my site's amiibo section would get a lot of work haha
I'd have to get them all...like I did with Rumble

Damn perks of the job, eh?
I have to buy a new house to have an amiibo room
You should rather build a room using the Amiibo boxes, because you won't be able to buy both Amiibos and the house
Lies, you're the world's biggest pokemon fan. I saw those toys under your bed!

Incoming 700 Pokemon Amiibo cards.
They should just put NFC chips in the TCG cards. If they don't I'm gonna be extremely disappointed
That'd alter the shape and size of the TCG cards which is a big no-no for the cards. Animal Crossing cards have a raised part where the NFC chip is. They have to be uniform else players would be able to know what card is what.
It's not like the e-Reader where they could just print the codes and take up a bit of real estate on the front.
