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.

@TriforceBun
That's seriously something good that Walmart did there. I'm surprised.

@DrFinkelstein
Rosaliiiinnnaaaaaa!!!!! Come to meeeeeeeeeee!
We're pretty excited, too! There will be lots of 3DS and lots of food to be had.

Trish is TK_Thunder. She was a little more active back in the day.

I too am looking forward to this!

And unlike Ploot, the Amiibo's are not the first thought I had about tomorrow.

@DrFinkelstein

Make sure ploot doesn't touch that Ike too much.

@VofEscaflowne

I should put it in it's own special bag just to prevent finger prints (and Jammin' Jalapeño sauce!)

@DrFinkelstein

By the way, when do you want a payment? I'm not sure how exactly that works through Amazon but I can do it any time.
02/27/15, 05:38   
@VofEscaflowne
Don't forget I needs ta be paid, too.
I'm thinking maybe $40 for shipping and handling.
I'll even open the Ike for you and sign it!

EDIT - Just kidding.
It'll be an additional $20 for my John Hancock.

@ploot

I made a mention of it on some other page... maybe I missed a reply but yeah, I'll be paying you too! I think I'll skip the signature though haha. How much for shipping?

@VofEscaflowne

I'll make sure that he isn't doing anything unseemly with it on the ride home.

He would. He's that type.
02/27/15, 06:03   
@VofEscaflowne
Nah, I was just joking around. I'm seriously not in a hurry about the money.
I'll let you know how much shipping is once it's sent out.

@ploot

Do you still need a Meta Knight? I can still look out for one and then just ignore shipping that way... if I find one.
02/27/15, 06:11   
@VofEscaflowne
I actually just got my Meta Knight. He is wondrous.
If you do find one though, buy it! Those things are impossible to find and I'm sure a few people here are looking for him.
02/27/15, 06:20   
@VofEscaflowne

Payment can occur whenever. Since Ploot is coming here to pick up other stuff and is doing the shipping, I'll just need reimbursement for the item itself which is $14 USD. As we discussed, Amazon credit is just fine. It's easiest that way and gtarrant already used that successfully. You just need my e-mail address, which you may or may not have but I'll PM you it now.

@VofEscaflowne@ploot

I'm one of those in need of a Meta Knight.

Ploot, TK_Thunder, Beardednerd and I all played some fun Smash Bros 3DS matches at dinner tonight. They came to Michigan to visit and exchange amiibo. I lost a lot... but some of it was because of some very bad lag we had during some matches. Eventually it worked itself out though. Also, there's a lot of shaking up with the amiibo grid I've been managing. Lets take a look.

Wii Fit TrainerN/ADrFinkelsteinIn Stock - Unclaimed


So to sum up, tonight my Canuckbuddies received their amiibo. All is paid for too in that respect except VofEscaflowne may need to look at any transit costs from Ploot. Koovaps should have his amiibo as should gtarrant according to the tracking info I had on my shipments. Also, in a bit of serendipity, my Wii Fit Trainer and Sheik from the United Kingdom arrived. Wii Fit Trainer's box has a bit of a bent corner on the box but the amiibo are in great condition. I think my girlfriend might want Sheik now that Gamewizard65 let go of his claim so I've taken her off the market. That leaves Wii Fit Trainer. I'm not looking to screw anyone over on these forums but I would be selling it at the cost it took me to import plus whatever shipping is to your location. That'll be $25 USD plus shipping. Any takers? Anon_mastermind... you showed interest? Please let me know if that's confirmed...


Fit as a fiddle and looking for a home!


Somewhat bent box-corner.

I'll say too that I know these are silly little Nintendo toys but I've been really happy to be able to help so many of my friends and fellow Negative Worlders. Whether it's letting them know when something's available for order, or when something's available for purchase because of my redundancy on pre-orders, I'm just happy to get people the amiibo they want. I could certainly turn this into a little side business but I'm not looking to bother with that. I just want to help.

I just may double-triple if necessary on Wave 4... but no promises as I don't know what the climate will be like. I'm happy to help where I can if I end up with extras and folks can't get their hands on a certain favorite. Oh and one more thought... it was pretty funny when Beardednerd let Ploot tear the box open a bit on his Toon Link... Ploot keeps his in pristine condition and it was probably weirdly cathartic for him to be so haphazard with an amiibo box. Good stuff.

My reaction to the idea that anyone is excited about the gold amiibo announcement.

@DrFinkelstein

Watching Ploot rip the box on the Toon Link was awesome.
Thanks again Fink for all your hard work on this. I agree, they are silly little toys but damn if they aren't a blast too.

@DrFinkelstein
@Beardednerd
It was a great time indeed! And it's something we can maybe do a little more often now that I have renewed my passport.
Ripping open that Toon Link amiibo box was definitely a highlight of the evening. In retrospect, I sort of wish I had a crack at the Captain Falcon one.


Ike now guards his imprisoned doppelganger, until the Day of Shipment arrives.

@ploot

He's guarding it from you. Good Ike.

@pokepal148

"An error occurred. Please try again later"? That's a strange reaction..

@DrFinkelstein
Sonic got here nice and safe, thanks so much for the hookup.

What are the chances of Shulk being released again with the upcoming 3DS Xenoblade game, I really hate having to give money to these damn scalpers. Hopefully something will be announced soon.
