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.

If that reprint extends to North America I'll be much more hopefully of finally getting a Little Mac.

Nintendo tweeted that the Walmart pre-orders of the Gold Mario are a small fraction of what will be available, and not to worry.
I hope this becomes a trend from here on out.

@ploot

I hope so too!

Jigglypuff, Greninja, and Splatoon amiibo on the way? It might be so.

@DrFinkelstein

Splatoon amiibo would be kind of awesome. Although I hope they don't lock anything away behind amiibo stuff in that game.

I went to Walmart tonight and passed by the amiibo display. I saw that they had a few Toon Links so I caved and got it since its one the of few that I really love. I also saw a lonely Sheik but I didn't get it. Did I just miss an opportunity to hook one of you guys up??

@Abdooooo

I had a Sheik available but it wasn't taken. I've since decided it'll go to my girlfriend. I don't think anyone needs a Sheik here.

@DrFinkelstein

Okay, good. I stood there for a few minutes wondering if buying it for someone on this board would be a good move. I feel better now.

GOLD MARIO IS UP AT WALMART.COM! GO GO GO!

Edit: Now it's gone.... wow. Less than 2 minutes? What the hell... did they open 3 for pre-order?

Any idea if little Mac will be available again? I didn't start collecting amiibos when he was avail
03/10/15, 02:42   
Rumor is that he's one of a few that are getting Japanese re-releasing.. not sure if it'll extend to other markets but even an imported one may not be bad if they're abundant there.

1) Buy some Mario Amiibos
2) Buy some Gold Paint
3) ....
4) Profit

I was able to snag both a Sonic amiibo and a Mega Man amiibo the other day. I'm pretty happy with Mega Man. He looks cool, and I love having a little figurine of him sitting on my desk. I gave the Sonic one to my son. I also grabbed a Zelda, which I'll give to my daughter for her birthday. She has requested a Luigi as well. I might get her both.

I tried to pre-order a Pac-Man when I stopped in GameStop today, but they aren't available for reserve yet.

out of the three I own (Link, Toon Link and Mario) My Favorite is Toon Link, he just looks really cool, I love playing my 3DS and having them on Display on the shelf in my room..

@Anand

They're only worth a lot in the unsealed box! ...Although now that I think about it, step 3 (probably) has that covered...

@GameDadGrant

I'll let you know when I see them for Pre-Order. I need to nab all from the next wave but when Pac-Man is up I'll let you know where.

Gold Mario is STILL up folks.

I missed it AGAIN! What the heck with this!?

EDIT: Oh wait, got it! Yay! Thanks a bunch, mate.

@TriforceBun

You're welcome! I'm glad you did! Apparently it went down but back up again. It's been up the whole time I've been refreshing.

I know this isn't as quick as a text message or twitter but it pays to check the thread when I post...
