General amiibo Discussion Thread
 
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.

Still not sure where Sheik and Wii Fit Trainer are... ordering from Amazon UK was a WRONG move apparently...

@DrFinkelstein

When ordering from overseas, sometimes it can take a very long time. I've usually had pretty good luck, receiving items I've typically ordered from Japan in a timely manner. No offense to you, but I'm glad I decided not to take Sheik, I'd still be waiting. They are available in my area, but about 30 miles south of me, but the Gamestops there have many in stock. I already received Sheik from Koovaps, and though shipping was $6, I would have paid a bit more for gas for the trip there and back.

A while back I purchased a Lucario. Not knowing whether I wanted to keep him or not I kept him in box unlike any of my other Amiibo. Well, a decision was made. I traded him today for a King Dedede. I couldn't find KD any where but @ploot pointed me in the direction of someone on Reddit that had the opposite problem.

I'm grateful that I was able to get the Amiibo I wanted at no additional cost. I'm still just a little annoyed that we all have to jump through these hoops in order to do so. Oh well, such is the way of things I suppose.

I'm glad you got it!

Am I reading this as you have a Wii Fit Trainer for sale?
02/26/15, 07:45   
@anon_mastermind

It's still en route to me as I ordered it from overseas but yes I should have one to sell soon enough.

I have an image of Fink wearing a trenchcoat in an alley.


"Psst. Hey there. Yeah, you with the Mustache. Got some primo Amiibo if you're interested. yeah. Top grade Sonics and Ikes.....wait are you a cop? You gotta tell me if you're a cop".

Haha. I loved that mental image. That'd be perfect for a setup if Brawl In The Family was still making new comics.

Gold Mario amiibo is now available for a Walmart.com preorder!!!! Go Go Go!

I nabbed one for me... and I don't even know why. I wasn't intending to try and get many from the Mario series but it's hard to pass on an opportunity. Ah!

Apparently Walmart Canada isn't doing preorders. Blah.
Ah well, hopefully I can grab one on release day.
02/26/15, 23:16   
@DrFinkelstein

You won't regret it. That one's already slated to be one of the most sought-after amiibos. If nothing else, I'm sure you'll be able to trade to someone for pretty much any other amiibo!

I tried to get one myself, but the set-up process took too long and they were suddenly out when I hit "Check Out"! Dang...

Sheik amiibo are up on Gamestop. I just chased down mine a week before they go back up on the online store. Oh well, haha. I still got one in the end, so I can't be upset.

I highly recommend the figure if you like Sheik. It's well made and has some nice details. Even seemingly fragile parts like her ponytail are pretty sturdy, and the plastic support is one of the less intrusive ones. Out of the Amiibo I've seen in person, Sheik is one of my favorites

@TriforceBun
It's back up on Walmart.com. Just RIGHT NOW! Go, mannnn! I can't order since I'm in Canada, but hopefully you can get through in time.

@ploot

I checked out of curiosity, and it says it's already out of stock.

I wonder; is there anything stopping people from putting 20 in their cart and preordering them all in one go?

@Hero_Of_Hyrule
That's too bad. It was up for at least ten minutes.
I don't think Walmart is restricting purchases, no. It completely sucks for the non-scalpers.
02/27/15, 04:25   
@ploot

It looks like the Gold Mario Amiibo says it's in stock on the page, but trying to check out is when you hit the roadblock. It's pretty much up to chance and timing now...I now remember why I never got too far into collecting these!

@Hero_Of_Hyrule
@ploot

Actually, according to the NeoGAF thread, Wal-Mart cancelled all Gold Mario amiibo orders that were 2 or more at once! That's apparently why they had that recent in-surge of stock for a bit. If true, props to Wal-Mart for fighting the scalping...!
02/27/15, 04:37   
@TriforceBun

Believe me, I really wanted to buy two so I could help someone here but I only chose 1 item for that very fact. Glad I was conservative.

I think Wal-mart is fighting scalpers because there was a strict limit on the qty counter of 1 or 2. Then again, I don't know why they would allow 2 if they're only going to cancel them. Still, the idea of having limited stock come in and out of pre-order status throughout the day helps battle scalpers who aren't able to be online at all hours of the day eh?

Food, fun, friends... and amiibo are happening tomorrow!

I'm pretty psyched for a nice dinner/hang with Ploot, his wife Trish, and Beardednerd. (Trish has a username here right? I can't recall which one it was!)
