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

Possibly because the retro three-pack is exclusive to their stores while Olimar, Zero Suit Samus, and Ganondorf will have wide releases and will likely be harder to find.

Ah, so I stand a chance of buying them on the 11th, then.

I'm there to pick up Super Mario Maker, but I'll see about getting Ganondork, ZSS, and Olimar then too.

Dr. Mario and Browser Jr. are exclusive to other stores, yeah?

Dr. Mario to Target, while Bowser Jr. to Toys 'R' Us is a foregone conclusion.

I could believe Shovel Knight is in Super Mario Maker. They did say that future amiibo would be compatible.

They'll probably have to patch in some of them, though.

If Shovel Knight's amiibo works on Mario Maker then damn I really will have to buy one.

I'm pretty certain they said Dr. Mario is in-store only anyways.

Shovel Knight is not an exclusive and will be distributed by Yacht Club Games, not Nintendo. That could mean tons of stock, or potentially fewer than what has been seen in the last few releases.

Ike amiibo get!!

What is the difference between original and the reprint? Because I think mine has a Morth scenario.

For the next couple of weeks, I likely won't be buying any more amiibo. I'm waiting until Ganondorf releases in the states, so that will be when I buy amiibo again.

Out of curiosity, what are your favorite amiibo figures?

I would say:

• Pac Man
• Smash!Mario
• Little Mac
• Smash!Bowser
• Samus
• Pit
• Mega Man
• Marth
• Captain Falcon
• Sonic
• All the Kirby figures
• Fox
• Ness
• All the Pokemon figures I have so far
• Ike
• Shulk
• Lucina

Basically, all the unicorns I have right now, plus a few commons/uncommons

My favorite amiibo figures are Marth, Mega Man, Wario, Ness, Charizard, and Rosalina.

It took 'em forever to confirm it, but now we know 100 percent for sure. Bowser Jr. will be a Toys 'R' Us exclusive in the U.S.

Yay, a favorites survey! Mine are:

• Villager
• Ness
• Toon Link
• Squid Girl
• Bowser (both Smash and Mario Party)

Shulk and King Dedede get! I'd heard they were really rare, but I was able to go to a shop and buy them without any trouble. Am I lucky or are they not rare in Britain? My brother's also letting me borrow his Charizard figure for a bit, which is pretty cool.

Europe in general doesn't have as big of a rarity issue as the USA. Only 3 unicorns I didn't import from Japan because they get pretty pricey (They are: Fox, Samus, and Marth).

My Splatoon 3-Pack just shipped last night!!!

I hope I'll be able to find Ganondorf in stores this Friday.

I'm actually pretty confident about Ganondorf. I'm expecting him to have similar numbers to the other T Lo Z amiibo.

I think Ganondorf is the most likely one to be common of all the Wave 5 onward amiibo.

Of all the non-exclusive amiibo, I'd be inclined to agree. But Target seems to have a lot of Dr. Mario in stock. Which makes sense, 'cause it's Mario 'n' all. Same with Toys 'R' Us and Bowser Jr.

Wave 6 wise, GameStop hasn't run out of retro three-pack online orders...and they've been up for almost an entire month.

Amazon's Wave 5B release schedule for those interested.

Ganon is too early.

Hopefully, while shopping on Friday (for both amiibos and a sleepover I'm having that night because I'm inviting my friends to Popcorn Fest), I'll find Ganondorf. I should hopefully have better luck finding him than I did finding Lucina.

Why does Ganon have to be up before I get home from classes. It's like Amazon has no concept of people with jobs or schoolwork.

Considering that they did pretty much the same schedule type as Wave 4/Palutena, it's not that much of a change for them.

Also, remember:retailers don't care about people having school or work when it comes to putting products online. It's always been that way. I remember Rosalina's preorders going up at 6 AM on Target.com and they went fast.
