amiibo is certainly turning out to be a big thing in Nintendo's eyes. Whether or not the rewards for utilizing each amiibo is worthy to you, Nintendo plans to implement all sorts of bonuses. It appears right now that every amiibo is meant to do 'something' in each game though games not featuring certain characters may have more limited uses or lesser-valued ones. We've had plenty of threads on here for amiibo and I'm sure that will continue. Still, I wanted to establish a general discussion thread that doesn't have a specific focus or thought. We'll also use this thread for informing the forums about upcoming news regarding new waves of amiibo or new compatibility. Enjoy! Tell us which amiibo you're planning to get! To get the party started, here are the various waves of amiibo on their way, compatibility information from Nintendo's website, and various links to other threads regarding amiibo. Known amiibo

I got an email from Toys R Us telling me about my Lucario pre-order, and how I can start buying him on 1/30. Nice! I also got a call from Ivy at GameStop..telling me that "your game" would be in on Friday. I'm pretty sure its an Amiibo..but which one(s)? The way I've been doing it (anyway), is to hit the other stores first, and use GameStop as my backstop. They don't get upset about it, I simply slide my reserve to something else and everyone is happy. Why NOT work with a safety net? It rulez. @KoovapsWoooo, dibs! What an awesome guy. I'll do my best to get my own though! --- Leaving home now, going to see what kinda damage I can do ON THE STREETS. Will report later/tomorrow. EDIT- My Best Buy has a constant poor selection, and my Target is inept. Wasted trip(s). |

To clarify, the only ones that people are losing their heads over -right now- are the store-specific figures..right? I ask, because I'm going to "Hunt First, Use GameStop Second." That way, if I find a Little Mac out there, I'll have two and can send one to Ludist. See? @DrFinkelsteinYeah, I was thinking about hitting TRU today, but I'm going to be there tomorrow so... I wonder if I should try Target AGAIN today? Yeah, I'm gonna do that. TO THE SHOWER! @KoovapsI want to trade my Target for your Target really bad. Bare shelves, nothing new. ALL THE TIME. I DID get Little Mac there though, which is kind of ironic to me now. Best Buy is just a beast (bad) though.. Beast Buy. |

Our Gamestops got Bowsers in on wednesday. I went up and got one. Only other one I want out of this wave is Toon Link and Rosalina, and I'm not really worried if I don't get Rosalina. Over the weekend, probably wait until sunday, check the local Gamestops Target and Best Buy, since all those stores are in the same shopping plaza. Closest Toy R Us is 45 miles away, but thats fine since I'm not interested in Lucario, I think that is their exclusive. Anyways, so far I got the Mario set, which includes Luigi, Peach, Bowser and Yoshi. That is why I want Rosalina, to round out that set. I also have Link and Zelda. I really want Ganondorf to round out that group....but I forgot about Sheik...hmmmm...I guess if I see her I'll pick her up.I got DK and Diddy Kong. The last two I have is Pikachu and Kirby. I've always loved the Pikachu character and ever sincevEpic Yarn, I've had a soft spot for Kirby. As far as getting anymore for the Kirby group, I'm really not interested, but if I see a Meta Knight or King Dee Dee Dee, I might snag them, but it really depends on my fundage situation. After mid Feb., I'll have my tax refund, so then I can load up, if there is anything available. Honestly, the only Amiibo I don't have, that I want is Star Fox. What really sucks is, I was at Walmart when these Amiibos released, and every single amiibo was there, Marth(my oldest son really wants that one), Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, ect, ect. I did not buy any cause I had no idea how crazy mad these things were going to sell. Esp., the three I mentioned. At that time, no one was talking about how hard some of them 'might' be on a limited run, ect. If I would have had any inkling of knowledge about how these things were going to sell and how much people would be willing to fork out on ebay,amazon, ect, I would have probably bought 5 of each of the ones I mentioned. Sorry, I know the scalpers suck, but I always have started my auctions at a low price, usually around a buck, so the way I see it, its not my fault if people kept bidding and increased the price. Plus, I really could have used the extra cash, but oh well, no biggie. I do think its pathetic how much people forked out for some of these. Whats funny is, I guarentee, we will see, not only Marth, but all the first wave amiibos will be made available again. Though, only one I want is Star Fox, I don't give two shits for Wii Fit Trainer. Now, from wave 4, I really, really want Pac-Man! Main reason is, cause Pac-Man is the game that really got me addicted on playing videogames. There was a family owned beer joint that also sold hot dogs/barbeque sandwiches, ect that my brother and I passed on the way home from school. One day he was like all excited and said I have to check out this arcade game that had in their game room. I remember spending hours in there just to play Pac-Man. There might be a few more I want from wave 4, but I honestly cannot remember any of the rest which are included in that wave. Definitely Ganondorf. So far I have 12 amiibos, I honestly only planned on getting a couple, like Mario and Link, but once I saw them in person, I thought the overall quality was really great. I'm surprised they only cost $13 each. I have them all displayed on the wall around my tv. I'm using small push pins to hang the amiibos on and then underneath each amiibo, I have two more small pins for the packaging to reast on, that way the cardboard doesn't become distorted from hanging there year after year. I am not opening any of them. I never planned on using them with any games, plus I don't even own Smash Bros. since I'm not into the fighting genre, but my youngest son always wants to play when he comes over, and I don't mind playing, but I really suck hard. Seriously, I never win any matches. Same with Brawl and Melee. I just fumble around the controller when trying to play. Honestly, the game is too fast paced for me as well. I'm always losing site of my character, sometimes I start focusing in on my son's character. Seriously, when I say I suck, I'm not kidding. I feel bad that he wants to play and I do not, but it just isn't any fun knowing I'm never going to win, not that I need to win alot, ect., and I asked him, How can this be any fun for you, cause its not like I'm offering him a challenge. So, I'm thinking, once I get my tax refund, I might buy Smash Bros, so I can practice. Heck, I might even buy another Mario amiibo, so I can get it trained up to level 50 and then I can fight against it. At least then, I think I will enjoy playing against my son since my skills will be somewhat improved. I'm sure I will still suck, compared to him. At least I will offer more of a challenge. |
