Amiibo Chat - Games - Facepunch Forum

[QUOTE=Sift;46814458]Ordered one from here this morning but they still haven't taken the money from my account. Uh This place is legit right? I didn't just make a horrible mistake over a dumb plastic toy? [editline]29th December 2014[/editline] If so Oooooh noooooo[/QUOTE] Nah, you're okay. They're just incredibly fucking slow with everything they do, I still haven't even gotten mine shipped yet. :v:

Fair enough! Talked with my friend who's a manager at gamestop and he said they got a company wide email that Marth, Villager, and WiiFitTrainer are discontinued as well.

Speaking of Marth: [url]http://kimeco.co/marth-amiibo-kc2035[/url] Marth Amiibos are currently in stock here. Lots of positive feedback on them as a seller, as well.

Haha I hit add to cart and the button instantly changed to out of stock :suicide: [editline]29th December 2014[/editline] [url=http://www.gamestop.com/accessories/little-mac-amiibo-figure/117860]I already got one in person but if you're looking for Little Mac, he's in stock at Gamestop.[/url]

If I get an Amiibo, it would definitely be a Luigi one. I'm just wondering what name I would give him.

Is there anyone here who's gonna try and [del]catch[/del] collect 'em all? Never in my life have I felt so compelled to collect anything as much as these. But my wallet says no, especially if it comes down to buying overpriced ebay amiibos.

But my wallet says no, especially if it comes down to buying overpriced ebay amiibos.[/QUOTE] I'll be picking up as many as I can when I have the dosh to spare but I refuse to pay marked up prices for them. The maximum I will pay per figure is the UK RRP of £11.99, fuck all of the stores charging more than that just because they're getting popular.

My little brother wanted Kirby but it seems the stores ran out of them these Christmas. He will have Donkey Kong instead.

So I have a page tracker on Villagers amazon page. It gets my hopes up when I see it change....but then see the change was the price getting higher. :v: [url]http://www.thetanooki.com/2014/12/29/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-on-amiibo-shortages-were-looking-into-it/[/url] [QUOTE]Reggie Fils-Aime has acknowledged the supply and demand problems that plague the amiibo fanbase. In speaking to The Seattle Times, the president of Nintendo of America conceded that it was still a new business for them, and that they’re trying to balance supply to them. While the popularity and demand for amiibo figures has been underestimated across the board, certain figures have essentially remained sold out since the figures’ launch on November 21st. Regarding those figures, Fils-Aime commented that Nintendo is “looking hard at addressing that opportunity,” and that they “don’t want to leave any opportunity uncovered with these figures.” While those statements give hope that they’ll provide a [B]solution for fans eventually[/B], nothing was promised for the short-term. Given how much money Nintendo has probably already left on the table due to customers leaving stores empty handed, one has to wonder how much longer Nintendo can “look hard” at the situation before making decisive actions. [/QUOTE] [editline]29th December 2014[/editline] I'm not seeing a discontinued :smile:

Blegh. Looked online, GameStop apparently had some in my area. I went there. Dude tells me they're out of everything. OK :(

And by the look on his face he's taking it rather well.

I'm still utterly shocked at how detailed some of these things are. It makes me really curious when I see Morth because how did that happen when all the others look SO good?

[QUOTE=Sift;46822528]I'm still utterly shocked at how detailed some of these things are.

Morth still has the nice logo on her cape.

Rumors are going around that Nintendo World got a shipment of Wii Fit Trainer amiibos. [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/amiibo/comments/2qu27z/nintendo_world_got_a_shipment_of_wii_fit_trainer/[/url] This could mean nothing, this could mean they are making more of them. I'm hoping they are making more, which could mean they might start production back up on Marth and Villager soon as well.

Gonna be mad when those sell out and Nintendo says "We did reprint them tho!!" Shipping to your single store isn't reprinting them Nintendo.

Finally was able to hunt down and preorder a Rosalina amiibo on Amazon Italy [URL="http://www.amazon.it/dp/B00Q6A56C0/ref=pe_386201_41597321_TE_item"]here's the page for those interested[/URL]

[QUOTE=Sift;46824373]Gonna be mad when those sell out and Nintendo says "We did reprint them tho!!" Shipping to your single store isn't reprinting them Nintendo.[/QUOTE] I'm mad because Nintendo World apparently has little stock of amiibos. Their dedicated store is almost running out of Amiibos, what does that say?

I'm not seeing the option anywhere.

I really wonder why they made it to where only America had store exclusives. Let alone giving gamestop an exclusive figure There is already shortages of commons, and they are going ahead and giving stores exclusivity.

[QUOTE=Sift;46825550]Does this seriously not ship the the United States? I'm not seeing the option anywhere.[/QUOTE] I signed in using my normal amazon account and it asked me if I wanted to ship it to my normal US address and it accepted it, so it's clearly a valid option. Not sure why it doesn't show up in the selection bar.

so is Diddy Kong rare? because the store I work at had a bunch (5) of them, but some kid bought them all

[QUOTE=Makol;46825679]so is Diddy Kong rare? because the store I work at had a bunch (5) of them, but some kid bought them all[/QUOTE] People thought they would be, but they aren't.

Ah ok. He was telling us how are they were, but then I went to the Target down the street and they had a bunch of them in stock. [editline]30th December 2014[/editline] we also had another kid come in after Christmas after we got some more Amiibos and he kind of flipped out (talked to himself about how rare they are) when I put the single Diddy Kong we got with the other figures.

So is Pit gonna be the next Marth? He's the only one I don't have and arguably the rarest of Wave 2 thanks to Nintendo

So that kid wasted his money.

That worked out, I can't believe I'm having to import to get some of these things. But hey that makes wave 3 of my addiction complete.

Holy shit fuck company exclusivity. I wanted to go preorder the Meta Knight amiibo from my local Best Buy but they said they filled up on their preorders company wide in a few days of it being up. They said to check back online later because they'll probably get another chance to order them, but I really doubt it. I'm jipped out of one of the amiibo I really wanted because of this.

[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;46825732]My Target had about 15 of them out, and unloading a lot more. So that kid wasted his money.[/QUOTE] hah So what is considered rare for Wave 2?
