The amiibo Thread

Stopped by my local Walmart. They FINALLY have some Wave 1 in stock, and a lonely Sonic. I haven't seen figures on the shelves since the original launch week.

The Walmart in my town is horrible as well.  You have to go to target, toys r us, best buy, or gamestop.

Got my Gold Mario in the mail today. Not sure if I need to open him or not though. Does anyone know if the Gold Mario is different in game from the regular mario?

Stop being a little pussy and just do it already.

On another note: my, my my, how the tables have turned. I know some of you laughed at me for my obsession with trying to collect all the Skylanders figures. But it's not so funny now that you have that same addiction, is it? Who's laughing now, huh? HUH?! WHO'S LAUGHING NOW, GODDAMMIT?! YOU HEARTLESS BASTARDS!!! WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS!!! IHATEYOUIHATEYOUIHATEYOU!!!

*SOB* *WEEP*

*AHEM* S-Sorry 'bout that... spending the last few hours in my thirties, here. It's a bit stressful to say the least.

I'm, um, gonna go now. You, uh... good luck everybody with completing your collections.

- Byee

The 'Norch always has the last laugh.

Would it work through the package? Or won't it be close enough?

They have little magnetic strips to deter people from returning them after use still in package.

From what I can tell, the Gold Mario is cosmetic only and does not need to be opened and played with, since there doesn't seem to be a Gold Mario in game board for Mario Party 10 and no indication online of any difference in how a regular guy and a gold one work. I think this guy will stay boxed up for display.

I don't remember seeing too many against you, Zag. I certainly wasn't, but then again, I stand in the center of both sides about every argument, so I am a bit blinded to the way people think sometimes.

To correlate, the original Skylanders chase figures had the same chips as the originals as well. It was only later that they added support for the chase figures, and provided separate chips. I suspect Amiibos will do the same.

Wave 4 announced and pushed back to May 29, aligning them with the splatoon release. Also releasing on that date, the Splatoon Amiibo.

You can get the kids seperately, but the squid is exclusive to the three pack.

Pre-orders start tomorrow at 2 Central time at Gamestop, but have not been announced elsewhere yet. Ness is also a GS Exclusive.

Jigglypuff was up and gone in minutes. Friggin Target. I'm pissed.

[theGrue]

Read horror stories about GameStop all afternoon, then swung by one after work and preordered Ness in less than 5 minutes. Guess I picked the right store?

I will now retire from Amiibo collecting, unless they release anything else from the Earthbound universe.

My wife waited in line for two hours and was behind three people. They opened the orders at 1, she wasn't out of there until 2:15, but she was able to get me all six of the originally announced SSB amiibo and the splatoon 3 pack. I didn't even know jigglypuff came on, I thought I was on top of things, but I was wrong. Looks like I am going to have to make a trade for a jiggly if I can get a second rarity. Hopefully I can get to TRU in time to reserve a Greninja when they open tomorrow.

This is ridiculous.
