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.

1 Palutena inbound, and $19.41 after tax (and shipping). YUCK.

Amazon Exclusive Palutena Amiibo

I had to actually refresh on a 404 page for it to work for me, but your mileage may vary. GOOD LUCK!

I got mine. Took a few refreshes for it to pop, but I got her...and no tax! Until tax time...

She's still available forty minutes later. Wow!

@Mr_Mustache

Welcome back to the fold! How are you feeling?

Thanks for the link. ...I am weak and decided to grab her. Love me some Uprising! And like Ludist, hope you're doing better, Mustache.

Booooooo to Nintendo for an online exclusive. Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Koovaps

For any consolation, it was up for a good 40 min. That's better than any retailer yet, exclusive or not. Just trying to look on the bright side.

@DrFinkelstein

Yeah, it's actually fine. My days of anger over these things is long gone. I just really dislike keeping any of these from the retail chain. That's what upset me about the possibility of an exclusive going to loot crate. Super gross. And I wouldn't order from Amazon if it were available right now, so there's that.

@Koovaps

Not to go super off topic but I picked up on your Amazon animosity before. What's your beef with them? I'm curious. Is there something I should know about them or their practices?

@ludist210
@TriforceBun

Thanks, dudes. Getting better every day..supposedly..

@Koovaps
@DrFinkelstein

He's a postal officer! Amazon makes him carry allllll sorts of crapola!

@DrFinkelstein

I just don't like them. To be honest, though, amazon's influence on keeping my job relevant, as @Mr_Mustache points out, cannot be understated. They ship a crap-ton of packages, and I'm glad for it. So despite my general dislike for them, I hope they continue to be mostly successful.

Also, I'm finally opening the rest of my amiibo today. Two thirds were still in the package! Well, no more. I can't express how much more I like them open and exposed. They rule!

So look who arrived today...

@ludist210
Got the goddess too! She looks pretty good--very ornate and detailed with lots of separate parts. She and my Pit amiibo can chill next to each other and crack jokes.
07/30/15, 00:55   
My Palutena came in as well. I'm happy with how it turned out. With each wave it seems like the details and fragility both increase. Her left arm is very flimsy and the bottom of her staff bends with the slightest nudge. This isn't really a complaint though; just an observation.
07/30/15, 04:42   
I didn't even say anything when my Palutena came in: they crammed her in the box sideway (instead of longways) so the card was bent up a little bit. Freakin' IDIOTS. --Napoleon Dynamite.

Now the lack of sleep for Dark Pit looms....
07/30/15, 14:12   
Off to Best Buy in about 40 minutes. *SIGH*
07/31/15, 11:20   
I hear there'll be plenty of Dark Pits.

Speaking of which, anyone still need Jiggs? I picked one up awhile ago solely for trading purposes, and now I'm sick of her! She's new in box and I'll trade her straight up, 1:1 for a Dark Pit.
07/31/15, 16:46   
@TriforceBun

Plenty of Dark Pits at my Best Buy. I got there around 7:30 and was second in line...and they had at least 40.

@TriforceBun

Already got one. Sorry!
07/31/15, 18:21   
Yeah, ours had 37. I was 5th (which became 7th somehow...). Got there at 5am. Not as bad as the guy who got there a little after 12a.


---Did anyone have a Gold Mario anymore? I know T-Bun had one, and I asked before, but this is for someone else this time. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
07/31/15, 18:49   
I'm glad Canada is actually doing it right. Dark Pit is available at 6 stores, some of which are online only. Amazon will have it later today so I'll just get it there hassle free like I got Palutena.

@VofEscaflowne
I`m very happy with how it turned out here.

I grabbed mine from Toys R Us this morning, then ordered one from Bestbuy.ca for beardednerd. Not a bad day!
