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.

Thanks, guys!
I will check out the local Target when Rosalina releases, and if that fails then I'll plead for mercy!

Well, I flipped my Marth, Villager, and Trainer. I didn't buy with the intent to scalp, but I made $290 for the set and I wasn't about to leave that much money on the table for something I wasn't sure I'd ever use.

@Kal-El814

Yowza! Good on you, sir. I still can't fathom why anybody would spend that on these dumb things, though.

@Kal-El814

Did you remember to flip them off on Twitter before shipping?

@Kal-El814

Feeding the beast.

You could've asked if any of us on the forum wanted them. :P

@Paleo_Orca
Nah, @Kal-El814 didn't buy them with intent to sell, but when he realized he was sitting on money, he couldn't resist.
That is a lot of dough, and I don't know if I could've resisted, honestly.

It's not like he held refresh on his computer to scoop them from anyone upon release.

@Paleo_Orca

Based off the horrible ordering process and emails I've seen from Toys R Us, I have somewhere between 0 and 3 Lucarios coming to me. I'll be happy to set up someone from the boards, I think I'm on the hook with Fink if I end up with an extra.

@Jargon

Tragically, no.
01/17/15, 18:09   
@Kal-El814

I supposedly was able to reserve my Lucario but I'd like to keep you on the hook if mine doesn't pan out.

I'm very curious how this Round 4 is going to pan out... definitely want to collect those too but I'm worried it's going to be uber tricky again.

Not ready for Wave 4..

And I don't know what to do about the Super Mario Series, outside of Toad. HMMMMM..
01/17/15, 21:56   
@Kal-El814
Yeah, I would flip, too, in that scenario.

Why, oh why, am I not in that scenario?!

@Anand

How's your Metroid Prime Trilogy dealy working out Anand?

I dunno what the E-bay listings were like a month ago, but the prices these days are pretty damn reasonable for a disc game.

@Shadowlink
Hmm, as with many, many things I've intended to sell, my laziness might have cost me a pretty penny.

But I have the original Steelbook, rather than the GameStop reprints. I'm pretty confident that it will remain rare....

*scared to Google price*

Man, the worst was my issues of Ultimate Spider-Man. I even bought the hardcover versions, but I procrastinated until the value of each issue went from, like, $60 to $5. BLEAH.

EDIT: Seems to be ranging from $150 to $199. Assuming it'll be offered next week for $10, now might be the time to dump it.

I know that the question of availability comes up a lot around the release dates of Amiibo, but I was wondering if anyone has access to any FOX, LITTLE MAC or CAPTAIN FALCON? I'd be willing to pay RRSP and shipping of course. I'm in Canada if that makes any difference to the people out there. My local shops all seem to have the same 4 or 5 figures.

@Beardednerd

It just so happens I have access to Captain Falcon. Bought two in the craze and have been waiting on a chance to unload him to a needy person. He's in the same box he shipped in.

We can talk more soon. I'm busy this weekend but I'll look up how much I spent to obtain him, and then how much shipping might cost. You're also free to make a drive if you happen to be stopping over for any reason. We'll work something out.

@DrFinkelstein

That's awesome. I really appreciate that. Let me know what I may owe you and like you say we can work something out.

There's something almost hypnotic about watching my 4 Amiibo duke it out on Battlefield.

BTW that Link Amiibo is going to get a whole lot scarier if I can get the power arrows custom on him.

Also: You are not alone...

So I went to Target to get a gift for my niece. Since I was there I figured I'd get a new Xbox One controller since mine is kinda broken. I see the Amiibo section and immediately look for a Samus. I make sure she's not all bent and walk away. I didn't even bother looking to see what other characters they had. The Samus Amiibo is a bit smaller than I expected, but she still looks good. Here's a pic with all my Samus figures.

Ugh, someone said that Wave 4 is already sold/reserved-out? How can that be...

I haven't tried my GameStop yet.
01/24/15, 19:54   
@Mr_Mustache

Who is someone? I haven't heard anything myself.
