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.

@ludist210

I probably got the message right when you posted here. Yay!

@TriforceBun

Hey, I'm glad you were able to get one. I know he was one of yours that you really wanted.

@ludist210

Just got my Tracking info. Expected delivery is Monday for me. Shipping out of TN, are you getting yours sooner?

@Mr_Mustache

Nah, mine says Monday too. Also shipping out of Tennessee (LaVergne).

@ludist210

Yeah. I've been seeing a lot of shipping horror stories with boxes getting smooshed, bubble getting bent, etc. Really worried about this one.. Its not like I can just go to the store and get a better one.

@Mr_Mustache @ludist210 Mine says Monday too, but I'm pretty sure I'm farther away than you guys. I'm about 90 miles north of Seattle.

@Mr_Mustache

I had a Bowser from Amazon.com where they literally folded the entire top portion of the box at a 90 degree to fit it inside a box only the size of the plastic square itself. I couldn't believe the stupidity.

@DrFinkelstein

Stuff like this makes my stomach turn. I got a Pit from their warehouse that looked PERFECT, so hopefully I get that same person.. Very worried.

@Mr_Mustache

Eh. I'm opening it, so I don't care about the packaging.

@ludist210

Wait for me to get mine!.....!

EDIT- Mine is in OH right now, and I'm very wary that it won't get here before Monday. I'm out of town Friday afternoon through Sunday, and the thought of Ness getting delivered while I'm not home, and sitting outside in wind and rain is frightening.

My Ness is in Rochester now. PRETTY SURE it isn't going to take 3 days to get across town. *sigh*

This is like the one time I've wanted a package to take longer than it needed to, and its going to come early. BLAST.

We got very little of that in Adelaide, granted I haven't travelled around much looking for them but yeah, nothing too special here apart from several of Meta Knight and Mega Man.

"EB Games - Adelaide CBD" (I don't know what that means. Do you?)

@Mr_Mustache
CBD stands for Central Business District.
I don't go into the city that much, even if it isn't that far away.

@Mr_Mustache
Back during wave 2 or 3, amiibo were so hard to get in Australia that Nintendo had to get them from other parts of the world. They literally had Japanese boxes mingling with their own. Don't tell me that wouldn't have driven you mad!

@Pokefreak911

You and the Timster should meet up there. SOAK IN THE GLORY.

@ploot

Yeah, that would've been nuts..but they've certainly caught up! Look at that! A GOLD MINE. (There's like 6 Falcons there -- to start!!)

@Mr_Mustache
Tim? Come to Adelaide? I think he would rather go to New Zealand than that...
Plus that costs money.

@ploot
Yes we did. I remember those days well...

@Mr_Mustache
That would be the first place I have seen Falcon. Not any in Marion at all.

This guy showed up today.



Marth, Greninja, and Lucario to go (plus the Mario line minus Toad...all of those seem to be pretty common).

@ludist210
Yeah, I generally see the entire Mario line everywhere (minus Toad).

I get my Greninja on Sunday!!!

@ploot

I saw 3 Toads at Best Buy yesterday... I was astounded.

I remember I bought four toads at launch... I forget if I still have spares or not. Literally can't recall... I gave one to my GF. But the other two... hmm...

Wow, Smash Bros. Direct filled with Amiibos.. If anyone wants to take a gander at the current lineup..

EDIT- I guess Roy and the other "new" September guys aren't up there yet..

@ludist210

Congratulations! Mine said it was "out for local post office delivery" yesterday at 9:32am..and never showed. No updates since. I have no idea whats going on. Projected arrival date is still Monday. Very confused though.
