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.

I went ahead and bought Toad since he isn't available in the smash line of amiibos. Its weird, suddenly there are amiibos everyfuckingwhere! Any amiibo from MegaMan, Sonic to Sheik, Toon Link, you name it. There is even the gold mario amiibo at both of the walmarts in my town. I was thinking of actually snagging a few to sell on ebay. Hell, everyone else is doing it, I might as well make a few bucks as well. I'm still not sure, cause mostly I just don't want to bother with it all.

@Koovaps
Thanks for checking.

So far I've missed all the Canadian preorder chances for Gold Mario but I still have hope.

@gamewizard65
Aww. You seriously didn't buy any Gold Marios? Man, I'd love the chance to grab one.

Ploot, I have the smash Mario amiibo and thats good enough for me. I don't want the same amiibo, just in a different pose, color. I'm not all about 'gotta collect em all'. I am sorry that I didn't think to grab a few, esp. if some of you guys wanted one. I was in a hurry, had to be at work. Later on that evening, it dawned on me that I should have grabbed a few. I was just happy that they still had Toads in stock. Actually, everywhere had Toads and almost any amiibo you would want, except for exclusives and those rare wave 1 & 2 amiibos. I'm off on sunday. I can try running up to one of our walmarts, there is two of em about 3-5 miles from my house, and picking up some, esp. if you want one or someone else does. There seemed to be around ten or so hanging up. I have no idea if there is any left.

I totally understand your mentality regarding amiibo. It's absolutely practical and makes the most sense.
I am impractical and make little sense. Ha.

Don't go out of your way, but if you do find one I'll pay you right back. I've been through the whole trade sequence twice already thanks to Ludist, Koovaps and Fink.
Seriously though, the Gold Mario comes out on April 10th in Canada so I still have a legit chance over here.

Ploot--

I might be willing to do a straight up 1:1 trade of my Gold Mario for a Ness (assuming Wal-Mart is still sending me one). Not sure when Ness is supposed to release, but keep an eye out for me!

@TriforceBun
I would trade 100 Gold Marios for a Ness! He's my most anticipated by far.

I have a feeling he will be tough to get, but I will certainly keep an eye out once the release date is cemented.

Wow looks like the gold Mario is going for $40 on eBay...

And it also looks like a Walmart near me has some in stock. I think I'm going to go pick up one or two. Anyone want one if I can snag it?

@cusideabelincoln

Ploot might want one... not sure though.
03/23/15, 15:54   
I went there and the lady couldn't find them.

But online they show 3 in stock.

However I guess there's a buy limit of 1.
03/23/15, 16:31   
Waugh! Always so close yet so far. Thanks for checking though.
03/23/15, 19:22   
My friend grabbed me a Rosalina that someone returned to Toys R Us. So that makes three: Yoshi, Fox and Rosalina. Next up, Toad.

@ploot

You're not out of luck yet!

Walmart.com is now telling me a closer Walmart has one in stock. So I'm going to go ahead and see if I can order one online.

So currently I've put in two different orders for a site-to-store pickup at two different Walmarts to see if I can get around that buy limit of 1.


What does suck is one of the Walmarts is 20 miles away while the other is only 5.

Oh, man! Don't go out of your way on my account. That's quite a drive for a toy.

@anon_mastermind

So you don't want Wii Fit Trainer right? You commented on it but never answered my question about wanting it. Though with the source I had it from and the Canadian exchange rate it might be a bit pricey.
03/24/15, 12:14   
@ploot

I ordered one from the Walmart 15 miles away for myself because it was the only one in stock in my area.

However the closer Walmart, which I actually work out LOL, showed it had a few in stock later that day.

I don't know if I can cancel the other one without driving there and returning it in store.

I really wish the further Walmart had them when I walked into the store because I coincidentally needed to go to that town anyway to pick something else up.

@cusideabelincoln

Ugh, I'll buy one if you get two. Stupid freakin' Amiibos...

EDIT- Wait..checking my own here...

EDIT2- Apparently there is some stock for Store Pickup in my area. What a pile of beans.. Scratch me off for now.

Sooo, how does the "Free Pickup" stuff work? You do a normal "Add to Cart" thing online, and then you just drive to the store and its sitting there waiting for you? Can you drive to the store and snag it off a shelf WITHOUT doing the online hoops?? Never done it..

@Mr_Mustache

They'll pluck it off the shelves or from the back room and put it in a holding area for you to pickup within two weeks time. Just add it to your cart and choose store pickup.

Sometimes their inventory count is wrong though. If they can't find your item they'll cancel your order. I had that happen with Toon Link.

@ploot

The website is still telling me the close Walmart has one in stock. If you want you could choose store pickup and I can pick it up for you and mail it in. Then I'll just let the other be returned. Just search for Walmarts near zip code 47802 and choose store with the address "2399 S State Road 46".

I was able to snag a couple Gold Mario Amiibos. I sent Plootma pm to see if he is still interested. If not, I would be willing to let one of you guys have the option to buy one before listing the amiibo on ebay. I would sell it for $100 bucks..only kidding..ha,ha. I would sell it for what it cost me $13.81 plus whatever shipping would cost. I know how to package them well to prevent damage to the amiibo and the packaging. If no one is interested, no biggie. I can just list the amiibo on ebay. Ok, gotta get back to work.

@cusideabelincoln
Thanks so much for the offer, I really appreciate it!
It seems though that Gamewizard picked one up for me, that sly fox.

This community is so awesome.

Edit- Whoa, Gamewizard ninja'd me. Thanks, man!
