Official Amiibo General Thread - Complete Smash Bros. Set Now Avaliable!

[Dreamy Luigi]

Walmart sent me an email and said my Sheik amiibo was delayed from Feb. 1st to Feb. 6th. Not sure if that means anything.

My Captain Falcon is a ****.
He Walks towards me. He doesn't run.
He knows he can kick my ass so he waits and lets me come to him.
Then he kills me, and occasionally shouts Show me ya moves.

He's reading your approach. You can't come in with the same thing each time otherwise they will read it and punish you for it. They're thinking opponents like us at times, you've got to get creative on how to approach them or how to combo them. They may have memorized one character you use. Switch to your other main or a secondary character you use to play against them and see what happens. It takes practice and don't get discouraged if you lose to your Amiibo a lot. I have that happen a lot when I play certain characters against certain Amiibo. Like I can't play my against my Amiibo. I always have to go or to beat him.

Well would you look at that a better looking Rosalina amiibo than the one we got.

The Rosalina capsule figure isn't bad, but the Amiibo is of way better quality, especially in the face.

By the way good sir have you found any Rosalina's on your travels ?

 

[ChikoLad]

I've had my Rosalina pre-ordered since the middle of December.

Why yes, I am paranoid and desperate when it comes to getting it.

EDIT: Someone on /r/amiibo got all of the Wave 3's (EU) in the mail today, and has pictures of them in brighter lighting:

I am even more impressed with the Rosalina Amiibo after seeing it in light. They actually got her gown to have a nice sheen to it like in the game (in this picture, it reminds me of Super Mario Galaxy's distinct art style especially well), and her face scuplt is too perfect.

Bowser also looks really cool, only real issues I have with him are how glossy he looks and how his jaws are two separate pieces on the figure, making him look a bit like an FNaF character. But overall, the detail on him is amazing.

My Pit amiibo came in today!

I'm hesitant to open his box though...

Jealous...
Hopefully the US stock of Amiibo doesn't become utter chaos when they get released. I hope to get all the store exclusives first and hope there's enough available to last a day.

 

[ChikoLad]

Here's some close ups from another guy. Unfortunately the lighting isn't as good:

Also, from France:

 

[Lautsuu~]

All these European countries breaking release date. God dangit. Why can't the UK do the same?

Notice how Rosalina is the only one isn't there........
:'( I hate not having her..........

 

[Aninymouse]

Damn. Rosalina from France is $40 before shipping. Little Mac is $58 from Germany! Meta Knight is only $22.50, though, which is the normal Euro price, even though it's expensive.... Man, I just can't be spending this much money. I can't justify buying any of these right now. Even though Meta Knight is cheap, they haven't even been released yet, so there's still a chance at getting one in the USA for $13.

I just can't get over how people are charging $58 for Mac. I like how Marth went back down to the normal price, though. Nintendo, print more of these freakin' things, huh?

 

[Snagrio]

At least you'll be able to get what you want easily when they do come out over there and not have scour every store on release day, fail to grab them in time, and be forced to import from a different country. Just saying.

No sympathy.

Actually...it's not all that easy in the UK. We literally have no Little Mac's or Wii Fit Trainer's at a reasonable price, but hey, I've always liked a challenge.

The Diddy Kong amiibo can hang from many different objects by it's tail ! It's pretty neat.

Link can do it too with his pointy hat.

I saw someone hang Link's Amiibo on their Christmas tree as decoration once.

 

[DoodleDuck97]

I just noticed something that ticks me off.
Wii u box:
3ds box:
Notice who's on the boxes......

Every single Rare Amiibo.......
What the hell......
Surely this a coincidence......
I mean Good Grief.
Just thought I would bring it up.

Pretty irrelevant to your point, but Samus is on the 3DS box too.

Interesting. Link does not hang nearly as well though XD. Diddy is truly like a monkey hanging with its tail from a tree.

.......Whoops so that means Sakurai doesn't love fox...

No love for foxy.

Here is the expanded art if it means anything.

So
And now we have all of these on both
And of course
Well then......

ACTUAL CRIMINAL ACTIVITY

ACTUAL CRIMINAL ACTIVITY

Why Little mac why not Mario
Ahh his loss. Good Money in that.

 

[pupNapoleon]

Someone please post here when Gamestop gets wave four and Super Mario Amiibo available for preorder.
I officially only deal with them for Amiibo when I can help it; all other places really screw up.

Why Little mac why not Mario
Ahh his loss. Good Money in that.

I think it's pretty damn funny he chose Lil Mac.
Makes it that much better.

 

[ThatNintendoDude]

OH....

Waifu Fit Trainer

 

[pupNapoleon]

Waifu Fit Trainer

I love the discarded trainer in the back.

Seriously though, the villager he chose is the high pimp

"Rosalina & Luma Target Exclusive" confirmed for Wii U.

[DaybreakHorizon]

So anyone know where I can find a Megaman in the US? I realized a bit too late I wanted him.

That place seems to have him for about $16-$17, including shipping.

So anyone dabbled into the Party Amiibos ?

NowinStock had Fox currently listed for Amazon. Went on Amazon's website, but it wouldn't add to my cart.

Checked again, and it says they're on back order and will be in on the 20th to those interested.

What about Falcon & Pit on Amazon & other retailers?

On the US Amazon? Well:

And Pit goes for no lower than $33 there.

What about Falcon & Pit on Amazon & other retailers?

Apparently they pop up now and then, Falcon at least was up around 5am EST earlier today. Pit seems to be dead in the water. IDK if it's back order as well, haven't heard anything nor have I bothered to check.

All I know is that I caught a Fox listing for the 20th before it was taken down.

Toon Link seems to be up over at Walmart however.

And I am very sad to announce that the Rosalina Amiibo does not come packaged with a complimentary universe:

Even though I'm super biased, Rosalina and Luma is by far the best amiibo so far. She looks absolutely stunning. No one human character can compete with how well they got her face.

also tysm for that italian amazon link for her a while back. i was stressing out about how i was going to get her since Target's preorders were a mess and I didn't even have money at the time. and it's less than 30 USD to ship to the US from Italy. #you'realifesaver


As for amiibos in general, I'm only getting my mains'/secondaries' amiibos, so I'll only get like 5 or 6 amiibos. So far I have Samus, Peach, and Zelda. All I need are Rosalina and Luma (whom I have preordered) and Sheik (i'll just get her from amazon).
I might get ZSS and Palutena, but that purely depends on how good their amiibos look. Same goes for Greninja and Duck Hunt.
