amiibos!: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Give Nintendo My Money

I kind of want to get the Yarnshi amiibo, and maybe Wooly World.

I also gotta give props to my dealer, he's helped me a lot in finding fair priced amiibos.

...Heh. The way you used the phrase 'dealer' there reminded me of a scene from Grand Theft Auto San Andreas.

As you were.

Splatoon pack is up at Walmart. Grab it while you can. I know I did.

Splatoon get! Thanks Sterok!

Yes! Finally I get some of these stupid amiibo before they say they're out of preorders.

So can I assume that Amazon hasn't opened up pre-orders for Wave 4 or they are sold out?

To my knowledge Amazon has yet to open preorders.

Son of a bitch that Splatoon set went fast.

Fast? I can personally verify it was available for at least 8 minutes!

It went up and down several times throughout the night.

Apparently Nintendo has learned from this whole mess and hopes to do better in the future. Here's hoping they stop doing store exclusives.

OK, this is officially bullshit. Amazon are now listing the Wave 4s as only available from third party sellers with a starting price of £50.

Does this also count America?

Judging by the sign of the currency you posted, it seems that it may be a Europe thing.

Amazon UK.

Like so.

My mom got me Smash!Bowser as gift for cleaning my room really good yesterday as I was having people over. Since she was going to shop at Wal-Mart, that left me with options being Pikachu and the Smash Bros versions of Luigi and Bowser. Luigi's SSB amiibo is hidden behind his Mario Party amiibo at Wal-Mart and I do not intend to get the Mario Party versions of Mario, Luigi, Bowser, and Yoshi.

Oh, and my neighbor has hired me to mow her lawn every week for $15, so that will make amiibo getting a bit easier. Like once a week I could finish up getting the original 8 starters (only need DK, Link, Smash!Yoshi, and Pikachu), and other more common amiibos like Luigi and Diddy easily. Plus, it would only take about 3 weeks for me to save enough to get a unicorn amiibo like Shulk or Captain Falcon. Characters like Pit and Little Mac are going to be saved for holidays (unless Pit gets reprinted to coincide with Palutena and Dark Pit)

I just got home from Best Buy and nabbed me a Diddy Kong.

So far, my chart of where I got my amiibos is:

• Wal-Mart: Mario and Bowser
• Best Buy: Kirby, Mega Man, and Diddy
• Game Stop: Sonic
• Amazon sellers: Fox and Samus

I like to use Captain Falcon's racing suit when playing online in MK 8, So I can be all "Haha I have this amiibo and you don't, filthy peasants!"

The same could be done with Villager's amiibo suit, assuming he gets another print run.

I think Villager should get another print as AC is basically Nintendo's third major franchise.

EDIT: I love how Bowser's hand sticks out for his amiibo...I'm probably gonna have too much fun with Bowser's Smash!amiibo.

I nabbed me a Luigi (Smash Bros edition) at Best Buy.

I got myself a Link amiibo yesterday! They actually had pretty good stock otherwise, a bunch of stuff including kirby, donkey kong, wario and 3 marth's.

You idiot, this is why Australia deserves to get fucked by the industry.
