The Amiibos are due out on Nov. 21 along with Pokemon and Smash Bros.

Which ones are you getting?

I'm going to get Link for my friend even though the kind of ruined the Link one IMO:

(Understand why you would want him in pose like that but man is the yellow thing ugly... couldn't they have make it a stone propping him up or something...?)

I'm getting the Samus one even though it's Other M Samus. I will not be buying Zero Suit Samus when ever/if she comes out.

Also want Mega Man but he's in wave three so that won't be coming out for a while.

Qui-Gon Joe Nov 19, 2014

All of them.  ;_;

I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM!!!

Haha... I don't believe I can think of a more appropriate "answer" than this...

James O Nov 19, 2014

when they announced wave 3... I was gonna get em all... but at like $14 a pop, it was either all or none.  they'll probably never stop releasing them so none for me.  the only way to win is to not play.... haaaaaaa sad

Amazingu Nov 19, 2014

I'll want Shulk and probably Mega Man, regardless of whether I get Smash Bros or not.

Right there with you, bud.

Ashley Winchester Nov 21, 2014 (edited Nov 21, 2014)

You know... I almost want the Kirby amiibo for some reason.

I don't even like most Kirby games... I'm still hung up on the original twenty-two years later.

If they give me a Dedede or Duck Hunt Dog I'm in. Samus and Peach look nice too. Its too bad the real version similarly to Link is borked up in the finished model.

Dedede comes out Feb. 28 along Mega Man.

GoldfishX Nov 23, 2014

Probably Pit, Pac Man and Megaman, maybe Duck Hunt for the novelty.

A friend of mine said one of the top Smash players (Mew2King) was selling Amiibos that he had trained with. I thought that sounded unique, since they supposedly learn at a fast pace. That will be interesting when it comes to having Amiibos face off with each other.

XLord007 Nov 24, 2014

I picked up Samus, Link, Fox, Yoshi, and Kirby from Wave 1. I've got Zelda on order from Wave 2 and will add Capt. Falcon to the order as soon as Amazon lets me. From Wave 3, I've pre-ordered Toon Link and Mega Man.

Ashley Winchester Feb 13, 2015

I know I am being negative here... but I think this needs to be said:

Dear Nintendo,

Two words: screw you.

Love,
Ashley Winchester (who is not going to shell out $40 ~ 50 for a [expletive] Mega Man of King Dedede Amiibo)

(P.S. I love how you can't stand people making add revenue off of gameplay footage on YouTube so you do something about it... but when you could do something about pretty much every new amiibo being rare outside of freakin' Bowser you don't. Yes I know this is comparing apples and oranges but I can't stand how you complain about scalpers when the first wave of amiibos should have clued you in.)

Additionally, I would have ordered the things online from amazon but I've been hearing rumors about some sellers sending people Japanese ones and I didn't want to risk it.

I actually specifically got my Rosalina and Lucario Amiibos from Japan since they were way easier than dealing with TRU or Target preorders.  There isn't any kind of region lock on them, and I open all mine anyway (and since a friend of mine was sending me a box anyway, they ended up being cheaper than the domestic versions with the yen being what it is)!

XLord007 Feb 13, 2015 (edited Feb 13, 2015)

I've found the best thing to do is to check out http://www.nowinstock.net/videogaming/games/amiibo/ and follow @AmiiboNews and @AmiiboInq. I snagged Falcon, Sheik, and Pit for regular prices by doing this, and I could have gotten Sonic, Ike, and Shulk if I really wanted them.

I agree that Nintendo's limited quantity nonsense is massively aggravating and I wish they made more of the less popular characters available, but the above sites and twitter accounts are very helpful when dealing with Nintendo's lousy hand.

Kirin Lemon Feb 14, 2015 (edited Feb 14, 2015)

So far, so good - by preordering, I've managed to get everything so far.  Of course, I'm currently living in Japan, so a few of the store exclusives (Rosalina and Lucario) have been a bit more tricky - I ended up preordering those two through Amazon Japan instead.  After wave 3B comes through next week, I can stop being tempted every time I see the amiibos which aren't out in America yet here in Japan... until April, when wave 4 hits, anyways.

... I'm totally buying multiple Ness figures, just because.

GoldfishX Feb 14, 2015

People get mad at Nintendo for the limited supply, but they are definitely creating demand. My friends are going ham on grabbing these things.

So, smart move Nintendo? I guess...

vert1 Feb 14, 2015

I won't be getting any. Got enough videogame merchandise.

Ashley Winchester Jun 2, 2015

Anyone nab any wave four Amiibos?

I got Pac Man... for some reason. Not really a big fan but I was interested in getting him.

Crash Jun 2, 2015

When I saw this subject come up this time, I immediately thought of the tweet that Nintendo put out at Easter time, and the public response (be warned, the language gets bad pretty quick):

https://twitter.com/nintendoamerica/sta … 6743977984

For this wave, I got Pac-Man, Wario, Charizard, Jiggylpuff, and Greninja. From previous waves, I have Kirby, Little Mac, Mario, Mega Man, Shulk, Peach, Pit, Pikachu, Captain Falcon, Rosalina, Link, Zelda, Sheik, and Yoshi. I still want Dark Pit, Palutena, Zero Suit Samus, and maybe Ganondorf (along with at least one yarn Yoshi amiibo), but the way these things are getting snapped up, I don't know how much success I'll have.

Not to tell you not to get the ones you don't have... but I don't think you can sneeze at what you already have.

Kirin Lemon Jun 3, 2015

Haven't missed a single one thus far, and I have everything preordered up through mid-July's three yarn-Yoshis.  This is going to become significantly more frustrating once I move back to America after July.

Qui-Gon Joe Jun 3, 2015

I've managed to pick up SOME of Wave 4 - managed to get Pac-Man and Ness preordered from Gamestop in the states.  While in Japan this summer I've managed to find Lucina, Wario, and Jigglypuff.  Still need Robin, Greninja, and Charizard.  Kirin I still have NO idea how you're managing to get these ordered - I've been doing the search for amiibo on Amazon Japan several times a day and by the time any of Wave 5 or the plush Yoshis showed up they were all out of stock from Amazon itself and just jacked up prices from third party sellers.  sad

XLord007 Jun 7, 2015

The only Wave 4 one that I wanted that I actually could get was Charizard, but I have an EUR version of Lucina on the way. I'd like to get Robin and Ness as well, but no luck so far.

Ashley Winchester Jul 9, 2015 (edited Jul 9, 2015)

I had an awesome moment at the mall a few hours ago.

Went into GameStop and they had five Ness amibos!

I didn't want Ness myself but my friend who works at the non-chain store wanted it.

So I picked it up and drove it over to him : )

Yeah, they restocked with a lot of Ness units. The GameStop I went to got 20 of them. I grabbed one for myself and was lucky enough to get the last of the King DeDeDe restock they got (they only got four of those). Target got a big restock of Rosalina today, and I've seen Wii Fit Trainer, Pit, and Captain Falcon pop up across various sites, so it looks like some of the rarer ones are being reissued.

Kirin Lemon Jul 15, 2015

Got my preorders in for Olimar/Pikmin, Dr. Mario, and Bowser Jr. last night.  Bring on the next wave!

Ashley Winchester Dec 3, 2015

Thought I'd update this since the thread got buried, I have:

Samus
Pikachu
Pac Man
Mega Man
King DeDeDe
Splatoon: Girl (bought when the three pack was hard to find)
Mario 30th (original color)
Splatoon three-pack (got this when the reprint made it more common)

Want to get:

Dr. Mario (have it ordered)
Mario 30th (the blue overalls one, pick it up at work tomorrow)
Might get the three pack w/Rob and Duck Hunt Dog

Amazingu Dec 3, 2015

I'm actually kind of proud of myself for having successfully managed to NOT get hooked on these things.

I only have Shulk, and it was given to me by a friend.
I ended up not getting Mega Man, because I just really dislike his design in Smash Bros.
I was tempted by those yarn Yoshis for a while though.

I feel the same way. I have a few, but I'm glad it's hasn't become one of those "got to get them all" things with me. I've been pretty good at just getting the characters I like or the ones where I really like the poses.

Luckily none of the ones I wanted have been the super expensive ones. I did see the second renditions of some the Gamespot exclusives the other day.

And thanks/curse you for reminding me about the damn yarn Yoshi's. I've been eyeing those as well.

LuxKiller65 Dec 4, 2015

I have no Amiibos because I have no Wii and no 3DS, easy smile

I did buy 2 for a friend though. I don't understand all the hype about it.

I don't either so I don't plan on opening the ones I have. I just think they make great decorations.

Also, I didn't know Jigglypuff was released... I was saw it and was like "damn it, I want that to go with my Pikachu..."

Amazingu Dec 9, 2015

Yeah, I think there's probably a decent number of people who don't own a Wii U or 3DS but still buy amiibo, just for decoration purposes.

My 3-year-old carries around her Blue Yarn Yoshi like it's her best friend. She loves that thing.

What is it about the blue one? That's the color I want to nab when I get around to getting one.

Its because the blue Yoshi can fly tongue


Sitting on my shelf strictly for bellezza is King Dedede, Olimar, Shulk, Zero Suit Samus. All I need now are Duck Hunt Dog and Samus and my amiibo collection is done.
