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've got graphics captured for all current amiibo via the Nintendo website. When I get time I'll group and make more images above. Even without Stache I'd be wanting to but this thread hasn't been updated in so long I do want to try to get to this.

Chibbi Robo for $6.50 and Tom Nook for $5 at Amazon.

I can't believe those prices are so low.

In current new amiibo news for myself, my Kicks and Lucas arrived today. They were Amazon shipped.

I also nabbed three packs of the Animal Crossing cards Series 2.

Snagged all of them today, even though all of the AC amiibo will inevitably be cheaper in the near future...Best Buy had several of the AC amiibo left, but only one Lucas that wasn't already claimed.

@ludist210

Yeah after seeing what happened with the Series 1 AC amiibo… I was tempted to wait also. But then Amazon did their 20% thing and I was like, 'eh, good enough'.

...Did you guys know that Ryu and Famicom ROB were up on BestBuy.com? I just pre-ordered mine. Store pickup.

And AC Wave 2 is up on Toys R Us.

@Mr_Mustache

I got mine a few days prior, but they're shipping to me (on release day for free).

I managed to nab the last Lucas at my local Target.

He was pretty much the only I cared about, so I'm happy, heh

@kgtennispro

He looks really nice doesn't he? I like him a lot. His hand is awesomely formed. Weird to note but still.

Also, I've now added some amiibo photos to the OP to make it a bit better and clearer. Will do more as I have time.

@DrFinkelstein

Annd I just went and completed it all. It's a lot of amiibo.

Too bad we don't have an 'amiibo Database' a la the Game Database. But there, now we're caught up as far as I can tell on amiibo for thread purposes and now everyone's supposed to be happy. Myself included.

Heyyy, nice update!

I guess my Lucas is still coming in the mail? I have no idea. Bought Blathers and Kicks yesterday at GameStop when I was like "..THOSE ARE OUT NOW?!" Didn't expect that. Pre-ordered Roy (which was why I went), and got Ryu / Famicom ROB for pickup at Best Buy.

Still gotta get Celeste(?) and Resetti. Would've got Resetti last night at Target..but I didn't see him. So I worry..

@Mr_Mustache

Yeah, it's Celeste. Wave 2 for Animal Crossing just released yesterday. I've got my Kicks but Celeste, Resetti, and Blathers are coming by Tues/Wed.

Ryu and Roy are pre-ordered. I'm not interested in Famicom R.O.B. personally so I'm passing on that, like I did with the Skylanders amiibo.

@Mop it up
I'd also probably buy quite a few Amiibo if there was a fire sale. And then clutter up my gaming room even more.

I really think that Nintendo should deliver on the promise of one Amiibo across multiple games, though. They should either increase the storage capacity or come up with a system-level solution where the console itself stores the last state of the scanned Amiibo. Having to erase a Smash Bros. Amiibo to use it in Mario Party kind of blows.

Anyway, it looks like my statement was a bit premature, and there is still some rarity-induced demand, since the American version of the Wii Fit Trainer is $44 on Amazon. Seeing store shelves stocked with the rare Amiibo led me to believe that the mania could die, but it looks like the thirst has only been partially quenched. It must be pretty tough for Nintendo to judge how many Amiibo to manufacture.

@DrFinkelstein

Where did you preorder Ryu? I preordered Roy at Gamestop and I asked about Ryu on Friday, Jan 22, but Ryu wasn't in their system yet.

So far I'm up to date on all amiibos, picked up Lucas on Friday, my Gamestop had about a dozen of him hanging on the wall. I have no interest in any of the animal crossing amiibos, definitely no interest in the stupid amiibo cards and no interest in the Skylanders cross Nintendo style amiibos.

@Mr_Mustache

Thanks. Somehow I missed the Best Buy info on previous page.

Whoa. Good job in the thread update, Fink.

@ploot

Thanks Paul!

I concur about the snazzy new graphics. Outrageously well done, Fink!

As for the latest batch, I haven't grabbed any yet. Maybe the wife did, though. Who knows? I do have those Supercharger amiibo, though. Kinda cool.

@Koovaps

I want to mail you things.
