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.

So far there isn't anything on the Amiibo horizon that I'm really after until Lucas and Falco are released. I'm happy for this, it's time to slow down on the spending.

Stopped by Best Buy to recycle some old TVs today and they must have just restocked because the shelves were PACKED. Bunch of new ones and a lot of the originals like Marth and Fox and such. Nice to see them all lined up. :)

(Also the Dark Pit pose is so much better than the Pit pose! Dang. If the normal Pit had been in the Dark Pit pose, I'd probably add that one to my collection in spite of trying very hard not to buy any future Amiibo.)

Damn I hope they don't keep doing "exclusive" amiibos that are awesome but with games I don't want to buy.

@Zero

If it sells games, you can bet your aunt fanny they will.

@Zero

I believe every 'packaged' amiibo has released separately shortly after. I wouldn't worry too much about not being able to nab this. Plus, you could always import from Japan or Europe who likely will have individual amiibos.

That said, let me look cause…

Yep, here's a packaged version without the game. They will sell this alone.

Oh.

Now I don't want it anymore.

If anyone can get their hands on an extra Mega Yarn Yoshi, I'd be happy to pay for it + shipping. Hoping to get it as a Christmas gift for someone but the nearest Toys R' Us is a ways away.

@Zero

It's funny, I was debating about whether to get a bowl of fruit or A BUNCH OF COOKIES for dessert today, and decided to be smart and go with the fruit, but then once I got into the cafeteria and saw that they had taken the giant platter of cookies away I instantly got fed up and wanted the cookies again.

I reserved TPHD just now, and also picked up an Animal Crossing 3-pack (mainly for KK). I really like the design of the AC Amiibo's, you can actually see their faces unlike the Smash ones where they have the characters looking down, also no ugly supports, they seem to be of higher quality build as well, the paint job is cleaner and more detailed and the molds are smoother with fewer visible seems.

EDIT: On closer inspection my KK has a giant thumbprint on the side of his head, molded into th plastic, sigh. I wish Nintendo would up the quality of these things.

@Zero

Why?

It was a joke about how we only want the things we can't have.

@Zero

Thought so but couldn't read the context.

@deathly_hallows

Nothing a little acid won't fix!

@J.K. Riki
I was thinking some super super fine sand paper actually.

EDIT: I just ordered some 1500 grit sandpaper from Amazon, one of the reviewers said he used it for Gundam models so it should do the trick.

@deathly_hallows

I've used steel wool before with some nice results. But yeah, that level grit of sand paper will do wonders.

Just remember (though you already may know this) the key is to go unbelievably lightly over 50 attempts rather than apply any significant pressure and ruin the plastic for good. It will take forever and a day, but the end results are worth it. :)

EDIT: Hey isn't it time to "will add later" those other amiibo sets?! I like the pictures! Want more! :)

I am so incredibly weak-willed...



But on the bright side, I did sell a CD on Amazon to pay for it. You may be thinking, "A CD? Really?" But not just any CD. The Sonic Adventure OST Digi-Log Conversion. I got $100 for it. Snagged that guy for $35 after tax (I had a coupon) and am using the rest to pay some bills. I am so weak...

@ludist210 It looks nice at least. Just be glad that there isn't also a blue and pink mega Yoshi!

@Mop it up

It's staying in the box for the time being.

If they did any more Mega amiibo, my wallet would be in trouble. This is really the only one that intrigues me though...the rest big would just be an eyesore.

@ludist210

Your picture isn't working here, for whatever reason. I'm guessing its Mega Yarn Yoshi?

He wasn't at Toys R Us for you? Bummer.

@ludist210

Nice to hear AC Amiibo Festival is fun. The wife got it for me, but I'm gonna have to wait til Christmas to play it. Looking forward to it.

And I didn't think I'd have much interest in the AC Amiibos, but I have to admit, they're kinda cool. Hope my wife gets me the rest of those as well!

@Mr_Mustache

Yeah, it's Mega Yarn Yoshi. It wasn't at my usual TRU on Sunday afternoon, but one a few miles down the road from me had a bunch left on Monday morning.
