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.

Out of all the Amiibo I have now, Meta Knight is definitely my favorite. I love his wings.

I have six Amiibo so far...

Link/Toon link
Mario/Luigi
Donkey Kong/Diddy Kong

Toon Link is my favorite, hoping to get PAC Man next..

Those wings are pretty sturdy, too.

On a related note, I named him "MetaBright" in Smash and picked the white/gold color palette, but I also considered choosing the evil-looking palette so I could call him "MetaFright". Puns for names all the way!

@Pg3

I don't have a Toon Link, but it looks great in person. Sometimes I think amiibo looks even better up close than they do in stock images.

Splatoon 3 pack just showed up in walmart.com.

Marth has been going in and out of stock on Amazon today.

@VofEscaflowne
Grabbed him. Thanks!!

I'm honestly thinking of letting him slide away. I have the Gold Mario and if I let this go then I will no longer need to keep up with nonSmash ones. I don't see the need to include it in my collection...despite having every other amiibo up to this point.

@DrFinkelstein
I wish they made it a Silver Luigi. Would've made so much sense.

@DrFinkelstein

Yeah I'm thinking of doing the same. Even if it is rare... which doesn't seem like it would be all that much since the pre-order is still up, what am I going to do with it? I already have a gold one and I doubt that it would have any interesting game functionality if I were to use them. At 16$ a pop plus shipping, it becomes an expensive collectible.

The Ike I preordered before Christmas finally arrived today. I was starting to get worried.
05/14/15, 04:58   
@ploot

I would have probably bought that without question. You're absolutely right.

@legendofalex

That's patience! IKE looks great eh?

So, Jigglypuff is exclusive to Walmart here in Canada, and Walmart.ca just put preorders up. Lucina, Robin and Jigglypuff lasted for less than a minute. Seriously.

This whole thing is actually pretty unhealthy addiction.

MrMustache, did you get Meta-Knight? He'll be back on 5/29 at Best Buy.

@AmiiboNews: Report: Meta Knight arriving at Best Buy 5/20. Held for 5/29 re-release. http://t.co/DsIbmLN6xT/s/kk8e http://t.co/G4LFEWLfzX/s/lXWd

@DrFinkelstein

I NEED A META-KNIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Beardednerd

I wonder if it's hitting 5/29 in Canada and the U.S.! Or just come visit that day (though I'll be at work) and make a stop.

I'm hoping someone can help me try to snag a Greninja on 5.29. Apparently one TRU reported they're getting 50 of them in stock on that day... if that's the case around the country, I hope my chances are good. I might try to just go into work late again, though maybe leave earlier still for TRU. 3DS in hand and appropriate clothing... I'll be fine waiting.
05/20/15, 05:57   
@DrFinkelstein
Canada hasn't been getting any of the reprints, unfortunately. BOOOO.

As for Greninja, I will try to grab an additional for you just in case.
They might be strict about the limit of one, but maybe not!

@ploot

Bring Finn and say one's for him... or Trish? :D /desperation
05/20/15, 06:16   
@DrFinkelstein
Trish actually said she'd go, but I have to hit Walmart for Jiggly beforehand, so I might have to drop her off at TRU before that! It'll be a nutso day.
And, of course, poor Finn will be stuck in the middle of all of this craziness.
05/20/15, 06:18   
@DrFinkelstein

ACK! YES! Thanks.

@ploot

Is there any hope of me landing a 'Puff at US Targets? I really whiffed on this wave.
