Oh, while I was at work yesterday, someone accidentally put out the amiibo figures, so I managed to get a decent look at them before they were returned to the store room. They actually looked pretty good to me (and after I looked at the Skylanders and Disney Infinity figures to compare, I'd say that the amiibo quality is on par with Skylanders's).
But other than Peach and Villager (and maybe Samus), I don't plan on getting any others at least until Mega Man comes out and I have a way to actually use the figures.
EDIT:Oops, forgot about the main reason I was posting. The Lucario amiibo is listed as being exclusive to Toys 'R Us.

The amiibo I want, if I even get one at all, would be Captain Falcon. Mostly for the awesome Mii outfit in Mariokart 8.

Coupled with the fact that it has less cooldown both in the ground and the air, it makes it a lot more useful for both offensive and recovery purposes.
The removal of vectoring also makes it easier for Greninja to do combos, but that's more of an universal change.
Edit: Good news about Mewtwo

No, let's not.
And anyway, I agree with Sakurai in regards to Ridley. He works much better as he currently is than trying to go through a lot of hoops.
Fantastic Supreme Überkaiser Emperor Folt of The Infinity and Beyond" ... "The First"!1. The fuck is with all these different stores hosting exclusives? People with multiple mains will have to cross country.
2. I'm glad Mewtwo is secured. I'm also glad I'll still be getting him before people who skip :P

Possibly. The only exclusives so far have been amiibos in the 2nd wave (except Shulk, who's in the 3rd wave), which Bowser is a part of.
I have a feeling that it was less to lower his recovery (which seems to be an unfortunate side effect) and more to keep people from Side-B'ing themselves off the stage.

Well, they better make him exclusive somewhere near me, if he is going to be exclusive at all.
Call me butter, because I am on a roll! 3ds friend code: 5258-0885-3903 Wii U: Bowser CharizardI also heard something about Meta Knight being reserved for Best Buy.
I dunno, it seems like just the type of thing to get people on the fence for getting two of the same game to actually go for it. It'd be pleasantly surprising if they continue, but they won't have any real reason to do so after most of the copies are already out.

"Tell them to shut up and have some faith in me." - dead flashback guyDo you guys think they are going to make a Mewtwo amiibo?
Call me butter, because I am on a roll! 3ds friend code: 5258-0885-3903 Wii U: Bowser CharizardMac's side-B was nerfed(kind of)?
That actually just makes it more useful when playing For Glory matches now, using as a recovery makes no difference with the way I use it.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.What exactly do Amiibos do, anyway? I hear a lot about them but only now realized I don't really know their purpose.

They also are compatible with other games, different purposes for each game used mostly for unlockable extra stuff.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Collectible Nintendo figures that provide small bonuses to specific games as a reward for owning them. In Smash, the Smash amiibos allow you to train an AI character based on their figure that'll learn from its matches with you and other players.
The Smash amiibos were originally intended to be just for Smash, but now Nintendo is patching other games (such as Mario Kart and Hyrule Warriors) to be compatible with them.
